JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 13, 2008.JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 2008, manufactured by CHRYSLER LLC had a problem with STRUCTURE . headliner is loose in my 2008 jeep patriot. slaps violently against roof. noise is so loud, it sounds like a helicopter (no exaggeration). this happens when a window is down while driving. to an unsuspecting driver, this is very dangerous. it scared me the first time it happened. my six year old daughter was in the back seat as i was taking her for her first ride in my brand new car, she put the back window down and this loud helicopter noise came out of nowhere. i literally jump in my seat as i was driving. i could have very easily wrecked the car from the scare of the sudden noise overhead. this is also potentially damaging to your ears (it is that loud). chrysler / jeep refuses to fix it because all 2008 jeep patriots have the "same design flaw" (yes they admit it). i have complained to the bbb (chrysler doesn't agree to arbitration with the bbb), the attorney general (ohio and michigan), and even contacted an attorney. i am being told that since chrysler refuses to even make an attempt to repair it, that it doesn't qualify for the lemon law. i explained the problem to my father over the phone, then took him for a ride in it several weeks later to demonstrate. my father couldn't imagine that it could be that bad no matter how i tried to word it. after the demonstration my father was in total shock and disbelief. he even complained that it hurt his ears after just a few seconds of riding in the car. my point is, you have to see/hear it to fully appreciate the severity. i am willing to take anyone for a ride in the vehicle to demonstrate the problem. i've owned the car since april and have only driven it for about three weeks. *tr.Mileage was 1000 miles.

JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 2008 car safety problem was reported on June 20, 2012.JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 2008, manufactured by CHRYSLER GROUP LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN . while traveling at highway speed (70 mph) in michigan, the cvt transmission overheat warning light came on. after a few miles, the jeep would not go faster than about 45 mph. this is a real safety hazard when everyone on the highway is driving 70 mph or more. after pulling over for 30 minutes, the light did not reappear when the jeep was restarted, but rpms had to be kept below 2100 to avoid the overheat light coming on again. this low rpm limited speed to about 55 mph on flat terrain. the light came on again in pa on the return trip, speed was restricted as before, and the warning light did not reappear after restarting the jeep after a 30 minute rest stop. however, keeping rpms below 2100 on the pa turnpike resulted in a top speed of only about 45 mph, a real hazard when even trucks are going much faster. first dealer found the fault code of 0208 and did a software update to the pcm. the problem happened again. the second dealer could not find the transmission overheat code because it was not saved. the dealer had the vehicle for 4 days and said the transmission was not serviceable and had a lifetime fluid. the dealer said to bring the jeep right back in if the problem occurred again so that the code would be stored. the problem happened again and the jeep was brought directly to the dealer. this time the dealer found the 0208 transmission overheat code. after 5 days of waiting, the visiting chrysler tech said to open the transmission and replace the fluid. the two jeep dealers seemed to be completely confused about whether this cvt transmission has lifetime fluid or whether it could be serviced. the cvt transmission on this 2008 patriot has a lifetime warranty, but chrysler appears to have no interest in replacing it even though this is a safety hazard. internet searches show other owners of chrysler vehicles with cvt transmissions have had a similar problem. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 103000 miles.

Jeep Patriot 4x4 2008 Engine Review #10565882

JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 19, 2014.JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 2008, manufactured by Chrysler Group LLC had a problem with ENGINE . over the past year my jeep has been very sluggish, accelerates at higher rpm's than normal, "shifts" rough ( even though it is a cvt and doesn't have gears). for example, when i slow down to make a turn and then proceed to accelerate after the turn, my jeep hesitates to accelerate, the rpm's plummet and then reach to over 3000 rpm's before it slams/jerks into gear to return to around 2000 rpm's. twice my jeep has shuttered and stalled while at red lights. last week after backing out of my driveway, as soon as i put it in drive the electronic throttle control light started flashing and dinging at me. my jeep went into "limp mode" and i was not able to travel 8 feet from my driveway. i pulled to the side of the road and attempted to restart my jeep 3 times, and every time i had the same "limp mode"/electronic throttle control issue. the check engine light did not come on at all. the manual states that "if the light is flashing when the engine is running you may experience power loss, an elevated/rough idle, and increased brake pedal effort, and your vehicle may require towing. immediate service is required.". this does not sound safe. i had it taken to a certified auto mechanic who said it was a throttle body issue and that i would need to have it replaced. however, chrysler/jeep has 1,500-2,000 throttle bodies on back order and i was told it would take several months to even receive the part. i'm glad that my jeep did not stall or go into "limp mode" while traveling on the highway as this could cause a fatal accident. i consider myself lucky, even though i am now making car payments on a vehicle that will not run. this is also my only vehicle. there must be a major issue with the throttle body to have 1,500-2,000 on back order and should be looked into. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 98000 miles.

JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 2008 car safety problem was reported on Feb 19, 2014.JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 2008, manufactured by Chrysler Group LLC had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . over the past year my jeep has been very sluggish, accelerates at higher rpm's than normal, "shifts" rough ( even though it is a cvt and doesn't have gears). for example, when i slow down to make a turn and then proceed to accelerate after the turn, my jeep hesitates to accelerate, the rpm's plummet and then reach to over 3000 rpm's before it slams/jerks into gear to return to around 2000 rpm's. twice my jeep has shuttered and stalled while at red lights. last week after backing out of my driveway, as soon as i put it in drive the electronic throttle control light started flashing and dinging at me. my jeep went into "limp mode" and i was not able to travel 8 feet from my driveway. i pulled to the side of the road and attempted to restart my jeep 3 times, and every time i had the same "limp mode"/electronic throttle control issue. the check engine light did not come on at all. the manual states that "if the light is flashing when the engine is running you may experience power loss, an elevated/rough idle, and increased brake pedal effort, and your vehicle may require towing. immediate service is required.". this does not sound safe. i had it taken to a certified auto mechanic who said it was a throttle body issue and that i would need to have it replaced. however, chrysler/jeep has 1,500-2,000 throttle bodies on back order and i was told it would take several months to even receive the part. i'm glad that my jeep did not stall or go into "limp mode" while traveling on the highway as this could cause a fatal accident. i consider myself lucky, even though i am now making car payments on a vehicle that will not run. this is also my only vehicle. there must be a major issue with the throttle body to have 1,500-2,000 on back order and should be looked into. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 98000 miles.

JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 15, 2011.JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 2008, manufactured by Chrysler Group LLC had a problem with ENGINE . i live and drive in the new york area. often when i go on drives of 20 miles or more in the summertime months, and it could be anywhere between 70 to 90 degrees fahrenheit outside, the 2008 jeep patriot becomes a dangerous vehicle to drive. when traveling with this vehicle on a freeway or interstate at a legally high rate of speed, the vehicle often experiences some malfunction that causes a shut down. the vehicle automatically reduces its speed to below 30 mph without any warning or sign of stress. imagine driving down i-95 with huge trucks behind you and the vehicle suddenly stops responding to the accelerator but rather automatically slows and there is nothing i (or anyone) can do to prevent it because there is no warning. my first instinct is to get to the side of the road as quickly as possible so i don't get rear ended from large trucks, but sometimes this occurs where there is no place to pull over. it is extremely dangerous. this has happened to me at least 10 times since i bought the jeep in september of 2008. i am fearful to drive the jeep long distances on warm days, especially on highways. there is no indication that the jeep is going to shut down from what is apparently an overheated transmission because the "transmission temperature warning light" illuminates at the same time the vehicle begins automatically slowing down. further, the mechanics i have brought the car to do no??t understand why it happens. i have researched this issue on the web and learned that there are hundreds if not thousands of other jeep owners who have experienced the same issue. this vehicle should be recalled as it proves a dangerous hazard to the occupants of the vehicle as well as other drivers on the road, and because it poses a serious risk to motor vehicle safety. the manufacturer tries to cover up the above dangers of the car with a line in its owner's manual, page 174. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 25000 miles.
