2014 Jeep Patriot Fuel System Problems

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that the fuel tank failed to accept fuel when refueling. The contact mentioned that the fuel pump clicked off when attempting to refuel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was confirmed that the turn-over valve failed however the year vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V142000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.

IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL GAS TANK BECAUSE TANK INPUT TUBE IS BLOCKED. CAN FILL ON A DROP BY DROP BASIS, BUT TAKES ALMOST HALF AN HOUR.

AFTER FILLING UP MY VEHICLE THE CAR STUDDERS AND STOP IN TRAFFIC. WHEN TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD BY PRESSING THE GAS IT WON'T MOVE UNTIL I TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF. ONCE I RESTART THE VEHICLE IT MOVES AGAIN. THIS IS HAZARDOUS TO MY FAMILY AND SELF.

DAUGHTER CALLED IN PANIC, JEEP WAS UNABLE TO ACCEPT FUEL WHILE PUMPING. I ADVISED HER TO TRY ANOTHER PUMP, STILL SAME PROBLEM. TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO GET 5 GALLONS OF FUEL IN JEEP FOR HER TO MAKE IT HOME. TOOK JEEP TO DEALERSHIP AND STATED THAT A SHUT OFF VALVE IN TANK HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ($1500 PARTS AND LABOR) AND DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM...WAIT WHAT, A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS? LESS THAN 50K MILES AND NEEDS A NEW TANK... DEALERSHIP SAID NOT A SAFETY ISSUE??? BEING STUCK ON I95 AT NIGHT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET GAS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE.

DURING A ROAD TRIP, I WENT TO GAS UP MY JEEP AND THE PUMP WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PUT GAS IN THE CAR. I WAS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT STRANDED WITH NO GAS. I LATER WHEN TO SEVERAL OTHER GAS STATIONS SAME ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CURLER NECK WHICH WAS $180, WHEN THEY INSTALLED IT, THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE AS WELL. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY MENTIONED IT COULD BE THE FUEL TANK WHICH WAS $1200 OR THE EVAP SYSTEM WHICH IS $900 BUT THEY WEREN'T ENTIRELY SURE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS EITHER. I AM CURRENTLY USING A GAS CAN BUT THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE BECAUSE NOW IT WILL ONLY ALLOW ME TO PUT SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY.

MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT VEHICLE STARTED TO LOOSE ENGINE POWER REALLY FAST AND STARTED TO JERK AND SLOW DOWN ON IT'S OWN BARELY ANY POWER. TWO DASH TROUBLE LIGHTS CAME ON. A ENGINE TROUBLE LIGHT AND A LIGHTING BOLT TROUBLE LIGHT BOTH CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY BARELY PULLED THE CAR INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT CLOSE BY. HAD I BEEN ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING A HIGHER SPEED AREA THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS ! I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR AFTER WAITING AND LUCKILY THERE WAS AN AUTO PARTS STORE NEARBY. UPON CHECKING THE DASH LIGHTS WITH THEIR COMPUTER UNIT IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS A FAILED THROTTLE CONTROL UNIT . AFTER IT WAS CHECKED A DAY LATER AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER IT WAS DETERMINED THE THROTTLE UNIT DID FAIL. SINCE I ONLY HAD 20K MILES BUT BEYOND THE 3 YEAR LIMIT WARRANTY THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A JEEP SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PART BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN MODIFIED FROM THE ORIGINAL. DUE TO THE MODIFICATION I HAD TO ALSO PURCHASE A NEW WIRE HARNESS EVEN THOUGH THE OLDER ONE WAS PROBABLY FINE BUT WOULDN'T FIT THE NEWER MODIFIED REPLACEMENT THROTTLE UNIT. WHEN THIS THROTTLE UNIT FAILS YOUR VEHICLE GETS NO GAS SO IT ALMOST SHUTS DOWN IMMEDIATELY ! IN CONFIDENCE I WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL DEALER MAINTENANCE PEOPLE THIS ISN'T A RARE PROBLEM, BUT THE CHRYSLERS JEEP CO. REFUSED TO ABSORB ANY LIABILITY OR PAYMENT TOWARD THIS REPLACEMENT REPAIR AFTER I CONTACTED THEM . THIS IS STRANGE THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN MODIFIED OR UPDATED .....WHY ? THE ORIGINAL UNIT IS DEFECTIVE IS MY GUESS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED ON ALL JEEP PRODUCTS BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS !

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT IT HAS 20,456 MILES. THE LAST SIX MONTH I HAVE HAD REPAIRS ON FUEL TANK, FIRST ONE LAST ABOUT 3 MONTH THE LAST ONE DON IN JULY 2019 LASTED 2 DAYS. I CAN'T FILL MY TANK. IT WILL PUT A LITTLE GAS IN AND THEN CUT OFF. THESE REPAIRS HAVE COST ME 125.OO EA TIME . THIS WOULD BE OK IF IT WORKED.

THE ROLL-OVER CHECK VALVE IN THE GAS TANK BECOMES STUCK OPEN AND THE GAS TANK WILL NOT FILL. IF THE CAR ROLLS OVER, ALL THE GAS WOULD SPILL OUT. THE ONLY FIX ACCORDING TO JEEP IS FOR ME TO PAY $1600 FOR A NEW GAS TANK FOR A PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS WITH NORMAL USE OF THE CAR.

PCM NEEDING TO BE 'UPDATED' AND NOW MY CAR IS STOPPING WHILE DRIVING. THE BATTERY, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ENGINE LIGHT ALL WENT OFF AT THE SAME TIME AND STOPPED MY CAR. LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 20MPH. HOW DANGEROUS!! READ ONLINE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND JEEP HASN'T MADE THIS A RECALL YET? WHAT A SHAME. PATHETIC. HAPPENED 5/17/19 THOUGH THIS FILE ISN'T ACCEPTING 2019 DATES..???

WHEN TURNING ON A HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP IT . I ALMOST HIT A TREE THE VEHICLE SLOWED AFTER HITTING THE ISLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED HAD IT REPLACED THE VEHICLE HAS 35000 MILES ON IT VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION

I WAS DRIVING 60MPH AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT KICK ON. JEEP DROPS DOWN TO 40 MPH AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE, GOING UPHILL IT DROPS TO ABOUT 20 MPH. IF YOU GO TO STOP WHEN THESE LIGHTS ARE ON THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD AND IT HARD IDLES. THROWS CODES OF ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MALFUNCTION. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND DEALER RECOMMENDS NOT DRIVING IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

REMOVE AND REPLACE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY DUE TO FAULTY CHECK VALVE CAUSING ENABILITY TO FILL TANK WITHOUT CLICKING OFF AND SPITTING FUEL BACK AT YOU. NO EMISSIONS CODE.

WHILE DRIVING, THROTTLE SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT. TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND ENGINE BEGINS TO FLUTTER TO WHERE IT WANTS TO STALL. HAVE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND ATTEMPT TO REGAIN POWER, TO WHICH THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN.

THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACING AFTER SUDDENLY LOSING POWER TO THE VEHICLE. THE RED LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE. SIMPLE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, YET JEEP WANTS OVER $800 TO REPLACE IT. THIS IS TRULY DECEPTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED ON ALL VEHICLES WITHOUT COST PARTICULARLY GIVEN HOW DANGEROUS OF A SITUATION IT CREATES WITHOUT ADVANCED WARNING.

MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND HAS HESITATION AFTER ACCELERATION AT A STOP SIGNAL OR SIGN. I USE "PREMIUM" GAS, THINKING THAT REGULAR GAS WAS THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN 2 SEPARATE ACCIDENTS, ONE RECENT SITUATION ON 8/13/2018 WHEN MY PATRIOT "HESITATED" AFTER TURNING ONTO A ROAD WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO "HARD BRAKE" TO NOT HIT ME, AS WELL AS THE DRIVER BEHIND HIM. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND DO NOT FEEL THIS IS A SAFE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC.

THE DASH LIGHTS OF A LIGHTING BOLT AND TRACTION CONTROL COME ON. THE JEEP STARTS LURCHING AND SPUTTERING. THE MAX SPEED GOES TO ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOURS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES AND THE DEALERS CAN'T TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG, NO CODES APPEAR. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT CAN'T BE DRIVEN.

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.

THE ROLL OVER CHECK VALVE INSIDE THE GAS TANK GETS STUCK. IF IT STICKS UP IT PREVENTS GAS TANK VENTING. IF IT STICKS DOWN IT ALLOWS GAS TO FLOW FROM THE VENT IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO ROLL OVER. MINE STUCK UP. WHEN I DISECTED THE TANK I HAD TO PRY THE CHECK VALVE OUT. ONCE I GOT IT OUT I FOUND IT MOVES FREELY THROUGH 270 DEGREES, BUT IF YOU ROTATE IT THROUGH THE OTHER 90 DEGREES IT GETS STUCK.

FUEL TANK WILL NOT ACCEPT GAS. ON MOST GAS PUMPS THE FUEL CLICKS OFF EVERY O.25 GALLON. THE ONLY WAY TO FILL THE TANK IS TO BARELY OPEN THE FUEL NOZZLE, SO THE TANK FILLS VERY SLOWLY. TROUBLE WITH THAT IS THE FUEL DOESN'T SHUT OFF AT ALL. I JUST FILL THE TANK UNTIL IT SPILLS OUT. JEEP WANTS OVER $1,600 TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. I CAN SPILL A LOT OF GAS FOR THAT PRICE!

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE IT BANG TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND BUCKED AS I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE IT FORWARD. THE CAR HAS FEWER THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED PER THE DEALERS DIAGNOSTICS. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND, FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, IS A COMMON ISSUE. I HOPE THIS RESULTS IN A RECALL AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS HAD IT HAPPENED ONCE I WAS TRAVELING.
