2010 Jeep Patriot

After filling fuel tank to full, cranking the ignition, shifting into drive, and beginning propulsion, the engine will occasionally stall. This requires me to stop, shift into park, and restart and rev the engine to prevent it from happening again, which it sometimes does. This malfunction often takes place in high-traffic areas such as intersections or onramps to the freeway.

Incident Aug 6, 2022

My subframe cracked in half which caused my tire to blow out on the highway. It almost caused me to crash into the gardrail and potentially other cars. My jeep has 110k miles on it and now it’s not safe to drive.

Incident Jul 14, 2022

Engine Crossmember erosion very dangerous to drive. FCA extended warranty will NOT cover. Did not receive a letter of warning that was sent out to thousands.

Incident Jul 25, 2022

I kept hearing an odd click, creek noise from the driver side front end. It sounded like something was hanging or something had broken off. I took it into a shop and it was discovered that the front sub frame was rotted in several places and had broken. When the rear was inspected, it is rotted to the point where you could push your finger through if you tried, and there was a section bent. I can no longer drive this vehicle, and I am still paying on my vehicle. I owe $4,900. The repairs would range from $2,500-$3,000, if it even can be repaired, just for the front. The shop stated there was a recall to fix this issue so I'm reaching out to see if this could be covered or what measures are offered if any in this situation.

Incident May 30, 2022

Seat headrest deployed on its own hitting passenger’s back of head. Possible head injury. Incident happened today 4/10/2022 while husband was driving headrest deployed on its own on passenger’s side. Will contact dealership tomorrow. No warnings or messages were alerted by the vehicle.

Incident Apr 10, 2022

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving, the key released from the ignition switch. The contact also mentioned that the gear shifter would inadvertently shift out of gear independently. On one occasion, the vehicle was shifted into park and then independently shifted to drive. The contact was concerned that due to the failure it could potentially cause a crash. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.

Incident Feb 18, 2022

Every time gas is filled to only the first click to stop or no click at all the car will stall after the fill. THE CAR STALLS EVERY TIME NOT ONCE IN AWHILE BUT EVERY TIME AFTER A FILL START IT UP THEN RUNS REAL RUFF AND STALLS AGAIN. Every time it is filled up. The car stalls while getting on the freeway or street. Dealer state it is the fuel roll over sensor built in the fuel tank. Jeep knows this is a problem they are passing the buck on to the car owners. This is a safety issue when the car stalls. I need to pull over every time this happens and it is every time. They have to fix and recall this safety issue.

Incident Feb 23, 2022

Premature shutoff during fueling at gas pump (every two- to three-tenths of a gallon), causing long delays at each fill-up. Previous owners have reported diagnoses by certified mechanics of stuck rollover valves, which have been recalled in other Fiat-Chryslet products but not yet for the Jeep Patriot model.

Incident Dec 21, 2021

First the hood light came on-then the emergency brake light-then the air bag light-now my headlights wont go off. It was diagnosed as a faulty TIPM. I'm concerned the air bags might be deployed creating a major safety issue I've heard there are numerous complaints on TIPM's and that there may be a recall. Is that true?

Incident Nov 8, 2021

While driving at highway speed and hitting a small pothole, the vehicle's handling and tracking deteriorated instantly. After that, loud scraping noises were heard when moving the vehicle forward or backwards. After getting the vehicle off the road we found that the Rear Suspension Cross Member rusted out and cracked, causing the rear suspension to be loose. Chrysler extended the warranty on this part due to premature rust for 10 years, but this is a safety defect and it should be handled as a recall and not just a warranty extension.

Incident Nov 15, 2021

Sometimes when I turn my steering wheel the air bag light turns on. It does not always stay on and only comes on occasionally, usually when I make a turn. I got the diagnostics tan and the error code B1B02 Driver Airbag squib 1 circuit open. There was recently a couple of recalls (S61 occupant restraint controller and N01 reprogram occupant control restraint module) for my 2010 Jeep Patriot. I believe this issue with the error code I’m receiving is related to the recall issue, especially since the light does not stay on consistently. Dealership confirmed code B1B02 and would cost $972 for part and service.*JB Consumer stated complaint was filed on Sept. 4, 2021.

Incident Mar 1, 2021

There has already been a TBA service bulletion on this vehicle. It has to do with the front and rear subframes. I just bought this vehicle a couple months ago . The old owner never replaced them so now it's so rusted out that the toe can't b adjusted and the tires are pointing inward horribly wearing the inside tread of tires wear out 90× faster. The subframes about to snap causing the whole rear end to hit the ground

Incident Mar 1, 2010

Noticing a recall before, I'm concerned with my airbag light being on. Can it still be defected.

Incident May 14, 2021

WHEN BRAKING, THE JEEP SEEMS TO LOOSE REAR CONTROL FEATURES. THE SAME OFTEN OCCURS WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING. IT HAS "SHIFTED" FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER AT TIMES WHEN GENERAL STRAIGHT ROAD DRIVING OCCURS. SPEEDS HAVE NEVER EXCEEDED 30 MPH. BRAKING LOSS OF REAR CONTROL OCCURS AT SPEEDS NEVER EXCEEDING 5 MILES AN HOUR

Incident Nov 1, 2014

TRANSMISSION STARTED WITH A WHINING SOUND, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE SUV THEN BEGAN TO SPUTTER, THEN IT STOPPED ACCELERATING ON THE INTERSTATE. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE TO RESTART MY VEHICLE AND IT RAN FINE FOR A FEW MILES AND BEGAN TO DO THIS AGAIN. SOMETHING WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. GOING TO COST A FORTUNE TO FIX. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS GLITCH IN THEIR VEHICLES.

Incident Feb 19, 2021

ANYTIME RAINFALL IS EXPERIENCED, A HUGE LEAK OCCURS COMING THROUGH THE FRONT DOME LIGHT. IT APPEARS THIS LEAK IS CAUSED BY A DEFECT WITHIN THE DRAINAGE TUBES ATTACHED TO THE SUNROOF OF THE VEHICLE. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS, 8OZ-12OZ OF WATER COME SPLASHING DOWN ONTO THE CENTER CONSOLE FROM THE FRONT DOME LIGHT. THIS CAUSES POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE CARS RADIO AND POWER SOCKETS BELOW, AS WELL AS A HUGE VISUAL INTERFERENCE WHILE DRIVING. EACH TIME I AM DRIVING DURING RAINFALL OR SHORTLY AFTER, I MUST HOLD A CATCHING DEVICE (A CUP, ETC) TO CATCH THE WATER MANUALLY WHILE IT IS FALLING FROM THE CEILING, WHICH IMPAIRS MY ABILITY TO DRIVE SAFELY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH JEEP PATRIOTS 2007-2017 AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE. THIS LOOKS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. JEEP (CHRYSLER) DOES NOT COVER REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS FOR THIS PROBLEM.

Incident Jan 25, 2021

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS WORKING ON BROOKLYN. I GOT OUT OF WORK AT 8 AND THE ROADS WERE BAD AS I WAS GOING DOWN JEFFERSON RD MY CAR STARTED SLIDING SO I JUST LET THE CAR GO BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP IT IS INEVITABLE. SO MY CAR HIT THE DITCH BY THE CHURCH. I WAS PARANOID BUT I KNEW I WAS FINE SO I WAS ABLE TO TAKE MY CAR OUT OF THE DITCH AND I GOT DOWN AND CHECKED IT AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE BUT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING MY COOLANT. SO I GOT IN MY CAR AND DROVE CAREFULLY AND SLOW UNTIL I GOT HOME. I GOT MY RADIATOR FIX BECAUSE IS THE ONLY CAR THAT I HAVE TO MOVE AROUND. I TOOK MY CAR TO GET CHECKED OUT BECAUSE I WAS SCARED THAT SOMETHING ELSE MIGHT HAVE BROKE. I TOOK IT TO BUDGET TIRE WHERE THEY TOLD ME ABOUT ALL THIS STUFF THAT I NEED IT FIX WHICH I KNEW I DIDN'T NEED THEM FIX BECAUSE I GOT MY CAR FIXED BEFORE WINTER HIT SO I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS GOING TO GET A SECOND OPINION SO I TOOK IT TO TUFTS AUTO SERVICE. THEY CHECKED MY CAR WHILE I WAS THERE AND SHOWED ME THAT NONE OF THE THINGS THAT BUDGET TIRE SAID IT WAS WRONG WAS WRONG. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE EXCEPT THE SUBFRAME. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST AROUND 2500 TO GET IT FIXED WITH THEM BUT THAT TOLD ME THAT I COULD GET A RECALL BECAUSE OF SAFETY. MAIN REASON WHY I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED OUT WAS BECAUSE OF SAFETY REASON. I DIDN'T WANT TO COST AN ACCIDENT SO I WANTED TO TAKE EVERY PRECAUTION THAT I NEED IT. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL THE JEEP DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE A ABLE TO DO A RECALL SINCE IS A HAZARD DRIVING IT LIKE THAT. I TALKED TO THEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD NO RECALL FOR MY CAR. I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM MY FRIEND. I HAVE INSURANCE AND EVERYTHING IS UP TO DATE.

Incident Dec 21, 2020

THE HEADREST MECHANISM POPPED OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENTS. IT WAS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST THAT DID THIS. I HEARD A LOUD POP WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IT SCARED ME. I WILL BE CALLING CHRYSLER TOMORROW REGARDING THIS BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WON'T BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A PROBLEM FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS JUST CAN HAPPEN WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT.

Incident Jan 10, 2021

SINCE I BOUGHT MY KEEP IN JULY 2020 .. EVERYTIME I'VE FILLED MY GAS TANK ALL THE WAY .. AT FIRST MY JEEP WOULD DO A LITTLE JUMPING ON REGULAR STREE AS I DRIVE TOWARDS FREEWAY BUT AFTER A LITTLE BIT IT WOULD GO AWAY .. BUT AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 15 MIN ON FREEWAY MY JEEP BEGINS TO MAKE THIS WHINING SOUND AND THEN MY JEEP WOULD ACCELERATE ABOVE 5 ON ITS OWN (SCARY) THEN WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL THIS USUALLY WAS WHILE GOING UP A HILL ON FREEWAY .. WHINING CONT. AND ACCELERATING MAY HAPPEN ONCE MORE WHILE GOING UP THE HILL .. THEN MY TRANSMISSION TEMP LIGHT WILL COME ON . I USUALLY PULL OVER TO LET MY CAR REST BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT AFTER IT HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED AFTER I FILL MY TANK TO THE FULL .PLEASE FIX THIS I'M AFRAID IT WILL BLOW MY ENGINE WHILE ON FREEWAY ! THREE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER A FULL TANK HAS BEEN APPLIED . SO STEP BY STEP I FILL TANK TO FULL AS I DRIVE ON STREET TOWARDS FREEWAY IT WILL JUMP A LITTLE BUT WILL GO AWAY BY TIME I GET ON FREEWAY ONCE ON FREEWAY CAR SEEMS FINE FOR ABOUT 10 -15 MIN THEN I START TO HEAR A WHINING SOUND ALMOST AS IF IT'S STUCK IN A GEAR .. AS I'M DRIVING UP A HILL ON FREEWAY THE WHINING GETS WORSE AND MY RPMS DON'T SEEM TO GO ABOVE 50 THEN MY MY ENGINE WILL JUST ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN ALL THE WAY PASSED 5 .. THEN RETURN TO NORMAL QUICKLY AFTER .. WHINING NOISE CONT. AS I'M STILL DRIVING ABOUT 10 MIN LATER MY TRANSMISSION TEMP LIGHT WILL COME ON . THAT'S WHEN I GET OFF FREEWAY AND PULL OVER TO LET MY CAR REST FOR A LITTLE BIT .. ONCE I GET BACK ON FREEWAY AFTER 10 MIN REST EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL NO MOR WHINING AND TEMP LIGHT IS GONE .. THIS IS AN ISSUE AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK TO THE FULL!

Incident Dec 22, 2020

FRONT CROSSMEMBER IS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT. CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS TO 10 YEARS TO INCLUDE INSPECTIONS RATHER THAN RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. SINCE I BOUGHT THIS JEEP USED I WAS NOT INFORMED THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM OR THAT I WAS ENTITLED TO INSPECTIONS TO LOOK FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS A CONTROL ARM ISSUE BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT ON THE HOIST, LOOKING AT IT FROM BELOW, THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER HAS NEARLY COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. NO OTHER PARTS OF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS EXTENT CORROSION DAMAGE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION OR CHOICE OF SURFACE COATING FOR THIS PART. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH CONSUMERS MAY BE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF, UNLESS THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY HAD A CUSTOMER MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM JUST TO HAVE THE CROSSMEMBER GIVE WAY, DROPPING THE THE ENGINE ONTO THE GROUND IN THE PARKING LOT. UNBELIEVABLE! I WISH I HAD PHOTOS FROM WHEN I ORIGINALLY HAD IT ON THE HOIST, BUT I DIDN'T GET THEM. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW. CHRYSLER INITIALLY SAID THEY WOULD TRY TO OFFER SOME "GOOD WILL" BUT HAVE SINCE REJECTED THIS DUE TO THE $2350.00 ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR. NO WONDER THEY WEREN'T RECALLED. SHAME ON YOU CHRYSLER!

Incident Oct 21, 2020

WITHIN 7 YEARS IN A RUST BELT STATE THE JEEPS CROSSMEMBER IS SO RUSTED ITS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. MY JEEP HAS BEEN SITTING PARKED FOR TWO YEARS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPARE THIS HORRIBLE RUST DAMAGE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE HAS BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS SINCE 2017, I WAS NOT INFORMED BECAUSE ITS NOT A RECALL.. THIS WAS KNOWN BY CHESTER/JEEP SINCE THE 2007 MODEL, I'M GLAD THEY AT LEAST OFFER A 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CROSSMEMEBER, HOWEVER THATS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. PEOPLE NEED TO BE MADE AWARE THAT THEIR VEHICLE MAY SNAP IN HALF WITH LITTLE OR NO WARNING TO THE AVERAGE DRIVER. THIS IS JUST AS SERIOUS AS A SEAT BELT OR AIRBAG MALFUNCTION AND YET THIS ISN'T A RECALL? THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW THEIR VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE, A RECALL IS THE ONLY WAY THAT INFORMATION WILL SPREAD FAST AND FAR ENOUGH TO MATTER AND POSSIBLY SAVE LIVES, NOT JUST A FEW DOLLARS.

Incident Mar 15, 2018

THE SUBFRAME HAS CORRODED CAUSING MY TIRE TO BREAK WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET. THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF BUT HAS NOT TO INFORMED THE PUBLIC ONLY SERVICE. IF I HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THIS WOULD OF BEEN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AND COULD OF CAUSED BODILY HARM.*DT*JB

BUT THE PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERYTIME I START CAR AND GO TO DRIVE. HAVE READ THAT THE HAS BEEN AN ECU AND OTHER ISSUES AND RECALLS FOR IT WITH MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING. I WAS ON HIGHWAY. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE RADIO AS IT WITH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND NO KEY IN IGNITION, THE STEREO MAKES NOISE LIKE IT'S TRYING TO WORK. FEEL VERYVUNSAGE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 90K MILES .

Incident Mar 6, 2020

IN THE CITY OF KALAMAZOO MICHIGAN, I WAS DRIVING AND MADE IT OVER A CHUNK OF ICE(THE ICE BUILD UP FROM THE PLOW TRUCKS.) IT WAS SIMILAR TO THE WAY TAKING A SPEED BUMP TO FAST WOULD FEEL. WHILE I WAS GOING NO MORE THAN 30MPH OVER THIS CHUNK/BUMP WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CRACK THAT DID NOT SOUND GOOD AND AFTER THAT MY VEHICLE COULD NOT STEER BECAUSE THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED THROUGH MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE BEFORE I HAD TO PULL OVER.

Incident Jan 19, 2020

MECHANIC INSPECTED AS PART OF POTENTIALLY BUYING THE VEHICLE. I HAD EXPRESSED CONCERN OVER HOW IT WAS DRIVING. BALL JOINT IS BAD. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THIS AND WAS HOPING THAT A SAFETY RECALL WAS IN PLACE FOR IT! (I DID FIND A WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THE SUBFRAME, AND IT IS STILL GOOD -- SO IT MIGHT BE WORTH BUYING IF SAFETY ISSUES ARE FIXED.)
