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.)
Every time I fillup my Jeep I get within 1 mile of gas station it begins to stall. This happened everytime I fill up for the past 5 years. The Jeep will just shutoff and the power steering stops working being that it stalled. This has almost caused me to crash many times and to get the problem fixed Jeep dealership said I would have to replace the entire gas tank. Doing some research lots of people are complaining about this happening to them and being very costly to fix. The item that needs to be fixed is the (fuel tank rollover valve) Jeep doesn't make a replacement part for this and that is why you have to replace the entire fuel tank. Below is a website about the problem https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t29898_ds631498 http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/gas-fill-pump-pump
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.

Every time I fill my gas tank it takes 20 minutes to fill it just keeps shutting gas off at handle. I have checked a Jeep forum it says it is a roll over valve in gas tank and entire tank has to be replaced at a cost of around 800.00 to 1000.00 dollars. It also caused engine to run rough and shut off a lot. This is something Jeep should have to repair at their cost not consumers. It has been going on for about 6-8 months and it scare me each time it happens Thank you
Vehicle stalls out driving down the road after filling gas tank to full level. This is extremely dangerous situation that many people with the Jeep patriot are experiencing. The fix is known. When will this issue be recalled and addressed?
Engine stalled while driving 45mph on a city street in normal weather conditions. *tr
While driving around 40 MPH on the highway the Jeep slowed down and stalled. No warnings or indicator lights came on at that time. Shut Jeep down and restarted waiting a few seconds before accelerating. At the time of accelerating Jeep stuttered a bit and then drove from 5 MPH to 20 MPH without encouragement from gas petal. Immediately applied the break and car stalled again. Again restarted the car to move off of highway and the throttle indicator light finally came on. No indications before stalls happened that there was a problem. Had to have the full body throttle and fuel injector replaced for 1500.00/2 day repair. 2010 Jeep has 86,000 miles on it. Very concerned that there was no warning, light, or change in driving before stalling with kids in the car on the highway. It co

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.
Stuck rollover valve. 86,000 miles. Rollover valve is inside gas tank, casuing replacement of entire tank. Many others online note same problem for the patriot. Jeep recalled other models for the same problem but not the patriot.
When I go to put fuel in tank, the gas pump keeps shutting off every few seconds. It takes forever to put any amount of fuel in tank. This problem started a few months back.

I have a 2010 Jeep patriot sport with 50000 miles on it. I also had the dealership install an auto start for winter months to warm up car. I drove the car on dec 7 for 10 miles traveling at a speed of 40. I stopped home for 15 minutes and when I restarted my car a red flashing lightning bolt lit up on my dash which was the throttle accompanied by the off road traction control. I backed out the car and it was shaking and loud. I decided to drive another vehicle a few days later I drove it to the dealership taking the backroads and it would not go over 20 MPH and shook frequently. I was concerned for my safety.

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.

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?
