2008 Jeep Patriot

BRIEF SUMMARY: I PURCHASED THE 2008 PATRIOT IN 2014 WITH 70K MILES. FIRST OCCURANCE OF VEHICLE STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF OCCURED IN 2015 WITH 80K MILES; WHEN THE THROTTLE BODY LIGHT/ ESP BEGAN FLASHING AND SPUTTERED A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH IN 10 MINUTES. I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY AND GASKET REPAIRED. SINCE THEN THERE HAS BEEN OTHER RANDOM OCCASIONS OF STALLING WHERE THE THROTTLE LIGHT/ ESP AND ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES PRECEDDING A STALL. NOW 2018-19 (107K MILES) I WENT IN FOR DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED AGIN THIS TIME WAS IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND THROTTLE LIGHT, ESP LIGHTS, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THERE IS A CRANKSHAFT ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND STALL THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY. I HAD CRANKSHAFT REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED, THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AND THE ELECTICAL HARNESSES SERVICED TO YET HAVE THE SAME ISSUE OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED 24 HRS AFTER REPAIRS. THE ENGINE, THROTTLEBODY AND ESP LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN WITH IN 24 HOURS BEFORE SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION OF TRAFFIC. I AM NOW HAVING A 3RD INDEPENDENT MECHANIC LOOK INTO THE ISSUE AND SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE CAUSING THE INTERMITTENT STALLING. I SPOKE WITH JEEP CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY STATED THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL ALTHOUGH OTHER PATRIOTS OF THE SAME CLASS HAVE HAD SAME OCCURENCE AND RECALL YET THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO FOR ME IN THIS CASE TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY ISSUE OR REPAIRS SINCE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY. I STRONGLY RECCOMMEND THAT THE DOT INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND REQUIRE JEEP TO EITHER RECALL THE VEHICLE OR REQUIRE JEEP TO REPAIR THESE VEHICLES TO SAFE PERFORMANCE ON THE ROADS AND/OR REFUND ME THE PURCHASE PRICE AS I AM STILL IN CONTRACT PAYING FOR A NON FUNCTIONAL RISKY VEHICLE. *JS

I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH MY CAR TAKING IN GASOLINE FOR THE PAST YEAR, IT WILL LET ME PUMP IN A LITTLE THEN THE PUMP WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF LIKE ITS FULL, BUT I HAVE ONLY PUMPED IN A HALF OF A GALLON. IT WILL DO THIS THE ENTIRE FILL UP, WHICH WILL END UP TAKING ME CLOSE TO 20 MINUTES FOR IT TO GET FULL. NOW RECENTLY OVER THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY CAR STALLING RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK, I WILL PULL UP TO THE STOP LIGHT TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION AND IT WILL STALL. SO I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT, SOMETIMES IT HAS DONE IT FOR THE FIRST SEVERAL STOPS, IT WILL STALL AGAIN WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT IS ALSO HAVING HESITATIONS WHILE DRIVING, ALMOST LIKE ITS STUTTERING, I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL MECHANICS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE CAN PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. IM STARTING TO GET CONCERNED THAT ITS GOING TO DAMAGE OTHER PARTS OF MY CAR BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

17/OCTOBER 2015 3:00 PM THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE FUEL LINE OVER THE MOTOR. OVER THE 4 INJECTOR SENSORS THE LINE CUT AND SPLASH GASOLINE. IN THIS MOMENT, THE MOTOR WAS OFF AND THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION. IN THIS MOMENT JUST AN EXTINGUISHER WAS USED THE DAMAGE WAS A LINE CUT OVER THE MOTOR 2.4. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY OVER 10 MINUTE IN THE YARD OF CLUB LIONS OF GUAYANILLA TOWN OF PUERTO RICO COUNTRY 00656 AREA CODE.

A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE 2008 JEEP PATRIOT FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP THE JEEP STALLED AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HE SAID TO PUT DRY GAS IN THE TANK. I DID AND THE JEEP WOULD JERK A FEW TIMES AFTER REFUELING. ON 1/14/15 THE JEEP STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET MINUTES AFTER MY 17 YEAR OLD FILLED THE TANK. THANK GOD SHE DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE THE JEEP STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. I TOOK THE JEEP TO MY MECHANIC BUT HE COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. I KNOW THERE ARE JEEP OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INTO A FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR
