What owners say about the fuel/propulsion system
Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“My engine light and traction light and red lightning bolt light is on and it’s making the vehicle run really hard and shake and almost stall out and won’t go over 20 miles per hour”
“AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK AND DRIVING FOR ABOUT A MILE, VEHICLE STUTTERS AND STALLS. DURING THIS, THE BRAKES ARE DIFFICULT TO WORK AND THE STEERING GOES OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER FILLING GAS TANK MANY TIMES, MOST RECENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET WHERE I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. AFTERWARD, I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN RESTART. IT HAS A SLOW START, AND THE PROBLEM SOMETIMES HAPPENS ONE OR TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES, BUT THEN RUNS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I HAVE TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND NO SOLUTION WAS FOUND. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED.”
“Driving normal then suddenly power loss, jeep went into acceleration then loss of power, the ETC , traction control, and check engine lights came on, got a uo4o1 code, I was on the interstate with my son in the car. We were lucky to exit before horrible consequences. The electronic throttle control was bad.”
“Driving normal when i lost control of the throttle jeep went into limp mode, the ETC , traction control, and check engine lights came on, got a uo4o1 code, if i was on the interstate could have been bad when it went into limp mode, the electronic throttle control was bad”
“Lightning bolt symbol, check engine light and traction control lights came on and vehicle went into limp mode while taking my 3 yr old to pre school. Scans say vacuum leak/throttle body. This is a recurrent problem with these cars and has had recalls on certain ones. Almost didnt make it where i was going. . . Needs to be addresses on this model too. My car only has 76,721 miles.”
“Rollover valve in fuel tank sticks, causing gas pump to constantly shut off when filling tank. It is a known issue to Jeep/Chrysler, but they will not issue recall for the Jeep Patriot.”
