2009 Jeep Patriot Problems

Subframe front and rear are completely rusted out and unsafe to drive

Vehicle started making a metal rub noise. Took to mechanic. K frame front drivers side is completely broken in two. Engine could have broken thru and caused a crash. No warning lights

My whole front end of my jeep when I stop feels like it's coming out from underneath me

The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the rear end of the vehicle was swaying from side to side. The contact was able to continue driving. The vehicle was taken to a tire repair shop for alignment and tire rotation services; however, the contact was informed that the services could not be performed because the rear crossmember was severely corroded and fractured, which caused damages to the rear tires. Additionally, the mechanic informed the contact that the front crossmember was corroded. The vehicle was towed to the residence of the contact's mother. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under TSB Number: 23-007-17 REV.B, because the TSB had expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 230,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Engine stalls only after filling up gas, resulting in check engine light or oil light turning on. I have taken it to numerous mechanics, who have all given me different answers, with anywhere from issues with EVAP hoses and fuel tank, to the fuel pump, or purge system. Problem was never addressed or mentioned when bought from dealership in June 2025 but noticed immediately after filling up gas for the first time since purchase of the car and problem occurs continuously after filling up gas. Not sure if related either, but if gas tank is overfilled at all in the slightest, it leaks out the bottom immediately.

Changed catalytic converter now my car want go over 5 mph

I am submitting this complaint regarding the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) failure in our Jeep vehicle. We have experienced intermittent transmission issues throughout our entire period of ownership. The CVT has now completely failed—the vehicle will not shift out of low gear. The RPMs surge rapidly, and although the vehicle will move at very low speeds if you ease off the accelerator, it will not reach normal driving speeds, making it unsafe and unusable for daily travel. The check engine light is on, and diagnostic codes confirm a CVT-related issue. The vehicle originally came with a lifetime powertrain warranty. We complied with the required inspection and maintenance schedule, except for the most recent inspection, which we missed due to a personal hardship. Jeep initially sent reminders for these inspections but eventually stopped, and we received no notice of the upcoming deadline. The vehicle has been regularly maintained by a trusted local repair shop. Despite this, it is now undriveable. From both our personal experience and broader consumer reports, it’s clear that these types of CVT failures are common among Jeep vehicles. Jeep has refused to honor the warranty, stating it could only be reinstated if we paid for the repairs ourselves within a specific timeframe—which has now passed. This policy places an unreasonable burden on the consumer, especially for a known and recurring mechanical issue. We believe Jeep is failing to take responsibility for a serious safety and performance defect. I respectfully ask the NHTSA to investigate this matter further and evaluate whether broader action—such as a recall—is warranted.

I report reveral times issuess with my gear box, but each time they said the car is fine. The problems start after the car was serviced years ago to Jeep Desources rep (3400 Sources Blvd, Dollard-des-Ormeaux QC H9B 1Z9, Canada) but the issues become worst in time. It started to not be able to drive in authomatic mode but ok in manual and they told me that forgot to tide a transmition cable and now when I am reporting the issue, I cannot drive and any mode (authomatic or manual) and base on service department, nothing is wrong with the car. what they are waiting, to have an accident or die? Since I bought the car, all the maintenace of it was not as supposed as per maintenance manual of the car – to give an example, oil change it’s come on after 3000km no matter where i drive (city or highway) and the blain me for driving the car. With all respect, every time i made compline i felt no one offer me the correct attention and the issue with the gear box for me is abouve the accepted limit.

Dome light leaking water when rain or snow, leaving seats, car floor mats drenched. Had to replace radio three times and it smells like something burning

The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that the anti-theft warning light would illuminate and the vehicle would fail to start up. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was parked and remained at the residence unrepaired. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer had been made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.

Not sure if related either, but if gas tank is overfilled at all in the slightest, it leaks out the bottom immediately.

After refueling the vehicle at a gas station, I drive about a 1/4 of a mile and the engine will stall and die. It will immediately restart and when I step on the gas pedal the engine has no power and will stall again. I will start it a third time and then it will run ok until I need to fill-up again. I think this is a safety hazard because I stand a good chance of getting rear ended being stuck in traffic. I have read many articles about people having the same problem. Seems the fix is replacing the gas tank which costs about $1500.00. Please make the responsible party face this serious safety issue.

ABS MODULE CONTROL IS NOT FUNCTIONING. THEREFORE I NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO MY ABS BRAKES.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A CAR LOT WITH UNKNOWN ISSUES SURE ENOUGH A FEW WEEKS IN I START TO NOTICE THE JERKING WHEN I PRESS THE BREAKS AND THE HESITATION TO START AS WELL AND STEERING AND NOISES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD THAT AUTO SHOPS COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE REASONING BEHIND. I NEED ANSWERED. I BELIEVE THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE RECALL LIST. THERE HAS TO HAVE BEEN SOME KING OF MISTAKE NOT PUTTING IT ON THERE

JEEP IS STILL NOT RUNNING PROPERLY AND WILL NOT DRIVE ON HIGHWAY. VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY EXPANSIVE.

front and rear crossmember assembly rusted through car available. acknowledged history on this and related models of Chrysler products resulting in a additional 10 yr warrantee on these components which was not communicated to original owners and has now expired. vehicle has the potential to lose driver control and cause injury or death. no warning but rust has been visible for years but consumers not advised of extended warrantee. now cost of repair exceeds book value. Jeep disavows any responsibility for this defect in materials after the warrantee's expiration.

After refueling car stalls when this happens loss of power steering brakes etc Dangerous entering busy roads from gas stations Been happening consistently, many other owners report same problem across multyears of manufacture.

I PURCHASED A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT IN 2012. MY SUNROOF AND DOME LIGHTS HAVE BEEN LEAKING/POURING WATER INTO MY CAR, DESPITE PAYING TO HAVE THE JEEP DEALERS "BLOW OUT" THE NOW "TOO CORRODED TUBES" MORE THAN 4-5 TIMES IN THE PAST THREE YEARS. I'M TIRED OF DEALING WITH THE SUBSEQUENT MOLD AND DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE LEAKS; NOT TO MENTION THE AWFUL SMELL AND UNSIGHTLY STAINS. I ALMOST VEERED OFF THE ROAD WHEN THE STREAM STARTED POURING OUT OF MY DOME-LIGHT AND NEARLY ZAPPED MY HAND WHEN TRYING TO WIPE OFF/BLOCK THE RADIO, IN THE MIDST OF THE LEAK RIGHT BEFORE THE RADIO SHORTED OUT, WHILE DRIVING/TURNING DOWN A CITY STREET. WHEN I BRAKED TO PULL OVER, EVEN MORE WATER CAME POURING THROUGH MY LIGHT AND ONTO THE SHIFTING AREA, AIR VENTS, AND IGNITION. I QUICKLY JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR AND GRABBED CLOTHING AND TOWELS FROM MY TRUNK (WHICH I LUCKILY HAPPENED TO HAVE THAT DAY) AND BEGAN PRESSING THE MATERIALS TO THE DOME-LIGHTS. WHILE DOING SO, I FELT TAPPING ON MY SHOULDER AND LOOKED UP TO SEE THAT MY ENTIRE ROOF SURROUNDING THE SUNROOF WAS SOAKED AND DRIPPING ONTO ME AND MY SEATS. ALSO, THE BACK DOME-LIGHT WAS LEAKING ONTO MY BACK SEATS.... THIS WAS ALL ON THE WAY TO WORK, DURING THE BUSY TRAFFIC HOURS OF THE MORNING, AND THE LEAKS DID NOT CEASE DURING MY 40 MINUTE, HIGHWAY DRIVE TO WORK. I HAD TO COVER ALL OF MY SEATS AND ESSENTIALLY THE ENTIRE FRONT CONSOLE AND DASHBOARD, WITH TRASH BAGS AND CLOTHES TO PROTECT THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR WHILE IN MY OFFICE BUILDING. THE LEAKS SUBSIDED BY THE TIME I WAS DONE WORKING, BUT THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR WAS SOAKED AND THE RADIO AND LIGHTS DID NOT TURN BACK ON FOR HOURS. THERE IS NOW MOLD IN BOTH SETS OF DOME-LIGHTS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THESE LEAKS HAVE A OCCURRED, OBVIOUSLY, BUT IT WAS CERTAINLY A DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE NONETHELESS.

TOOK VEHICLE IN TO TIRE SHOP TO REPLACE TIRES. DURING INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE LOWER RIGHT CONTROL ARM WAS BROKEN. WHILE THAT MAY BE COMMON FOR A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, THAT SHOULD NOT BE COMMON FOR A 39K MI VEHICLE THAT HAS SPENT THE MAJORITY OF ITS LIFE SITTING IN A DRIVEWAY OR GARAGE. MECHANICS AT SHOP STATED THAT IF IT WAS NOT REPLACED, VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN OVER 40 MPH DUE TO AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF WHEEL SEPARATION AND DAMAGE TO VEHICLE/PERSONS IN VEHICLE. REPLACED RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM AND ALL FOUR TIRES, AS WELL AS RIGHT BALL JOINT WHERE CONTROL ARM CONNECTS AS RECOMMENDED BY SHOP. SAME ISSUES ARE RECURRING AGAIN 13K MILES LATER. ISSUES INCLUDE: LOOSE STEERING, POOR STEERING CONTROL OVER 55 MPH, ADDITIONAL WEAR ON FRONT TIRES AND BRAKES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP PQTRIOT. WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, ESP CONTROL, 4X4, WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, ABS, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,925. MA 10/5

WHILE SERVICING THIS CUSTOMER'S VEHICLE WE PUT AN A TIRE INFLATOR ON THE VEHICLE'S VALVE STEM. THE VALVE STEM BROKE AND WAS VERY BRITTLE. THE TIRE LOST ALL AIR PRESSURE AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AT A TIRE SHOP FOR $138. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE WHEELS AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE VALVE STEM WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE VALVE STEM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED WITH A RUBBER ONE. THE CONTACT STATED A VALVE STEM PREVIOUSLY FRACTURED BUT HE COULD NOT RECALL WHICH ONE WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. UPDATED 02/09/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THE CHEAP VALVE STEMS THAT WERE MADE OUT OF CHEAP METAL. UPDATED 02/13/12

MY CAR STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE AND HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION, LIKE THE GEARS WERE FINDING IT HARD TO LOCK IN PROPERLY. IT'S AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. AFTER THE SNOWSTORMS, I TOOK IT TO A CHAIN FRANCHISE TO CHECK IT OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT JEEP PUT A MERCEDES TRANSMISSION IN THE CAR, THAT IT'S NOT MEANT FOR THIS MAKE OR MODEL, THAT IT'S A DEFECT BECAUSE THE PUMP WORE OUT AND THAT JEEP WILL NOT PAY TO REPLACE/REPAIR AND THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS UNDER 50,000, THAT I HAVE TO PAY CLOSE TO FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPAIR/REPLACE. THE MECHANIC AT THE CHAIN FRANCHISE SAID THAT THIS PART JUST WORE OUT BECAUSE IT WASN'T INTENDED TO BE USED IN THE MECHANICS FOR THIS CAR. *TR

VEHICLE WILL STALL WITH NO/LITTLE WARNING. STALLS GENERALLY OCCUR DURING WET AND/OR HUMID WEATHER CONDITIONS, HOWEVER DOES ALSO OCCUR DURING DRY CONDITIONS. STALLS USUALLY OCCUR DURING IDLING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN GEAR (STOPPED AT INTERSECTIONS OR IN TRAFFIC), BUT CAN ALSO OCCUR DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION FROM A STOP. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE EARLY 2012 AND IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. CHRYSLER HAS A RELATED RECALL (08V528000, "POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)"), WHICH SEEMS TO EXACTLY DESCRIBE THIS FAILURE, HOWEVER CHRYSLER CLAIMS THAT THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THE 2009 JEEP PATRIOT AN INTERIOR WATER LEAK WAS DISCOVERED. I HAVE A RECEIPT FOR VISITS TO DEALER ON 11/3/09 WITH 2282 MILES ON IT. NEXT VISIT WAS 11/17/2009. ANOTHER VISIT ON 1/6/10 WITH 5790 MILES ON IT. ANOTHER VISIT ON 9/14/10 AT 12170 MILES. YET ANOTHER VISIT ON 9/24/10 AT 12435 MILES. AGAIN ON 12/7/10 AT 14897. I KNOW THERE WERE A COUPLE OF OTHER VISITS AND I AM AWAITING PRINT OUT FROM SERVICE DEPARTMENT. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER OVER 7 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. EVERYTIME THEY SAY IT IS FIXED ONLY TO DISCOVER IT IS STILL LEAKING. THEY HAVE SEALED, CAULKED, CHECK DRAIN TUBES, ETC. THEY HAVE REPLACED HEADLINER TOO. WATER COMES INTO THE OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND RUNS OUT OF THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS LIKE A FAUCET OR WATERFALL. WATER PONDS ON THE REAR CARGO AREA AND THIS AREA IS COMPLETELY SOAKED. WATER IS EVEN DOWN IN SPARE WHEEL STORAGE. WATER COMES FROM ALL OVERHEAD LIGHTS DEPENDING ON PITCH OF VEHICLE. UNKNOWN IF WATER IS RUNNING DOWN INTERIOR SIDES OF VEHICLE OR WHERE ELSE WATER IS POOLING. CONCERNED ABOUT MOLD, RUST, WATER DAMAGE, ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ETC., THAT ARE BEING CAUSED BY WATER ENTERING VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP HAS "FIXED" IT NUMEROUS TIMES ONLY TO NOT HAVE IT FIXED. VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR RETURN VISIT TO DEALER FOR ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT FIXING THIS PROBLEM. VEHICLE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LONGTERM DAMAGE AND REPAIRS NEEDED AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES AND THE DAMAGE THE WATER IS CAUSING TO MY VEHICLE. SERVICE TECHS SAY DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE WATER, BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN FRONT SEATS ARE PUSHED BACK FULLY THERE ARE RAZOR SHARP METAL RAILS EXPOSED. THERE ARE PLASTIC COVERS INSTALLED THAT ARE EQUALLY SHARP AND CATCH ON SOES, CLOTHING AND SKIN. BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE DRAWN BLOOD ON OUR SHINS SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE WITH JEEP AND THEY ADVISE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR

2009 JEEP PATRIOT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUNROOF DESIGN ASSEMBLY FLAW. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WATER WAS LEAKING FROM THE SUNROOF AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 05/17/12. THEY REPAIRED A SEAL AT A COST OF $ 212.93. THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THAT HIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR HAD A DESIGN/ASSEMBLY FLAW THAT WAS ADDRESSED IN A CHRYSLER TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. ACCORDING TO THE BULLETIN, THE SUNROOF ASSEMBLY WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY WHICH CAUSED WATER TO LEAK INSIDE. THE TSB GAVE SPECIFIC PROCEDURES ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND GAVE AN ESTIMATE TIME OF 13 HOURS TO FIX. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER DID NOT FOLLOW THE TSB; THEY MERELY REPAIRED A SEAL. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER. HOWEVER, THEY CLAIMED THE SUNROOF WAS NOT LEAKING. THE CONSUMER RETURNED A MONTH LATER, AND THE DEALER RE-SEALED THE ROOF SEAMS AND ADJUSTED THE LEVEL AND WEATHER STRIPPING. THE FOLLOWING YEAR, THE CONSUMER VISITED ANOTHER DEALER. THAT DEALER STATED THE DRAIN HOSE WAS NOT CONNECTED PROPERLY. THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. THE DEALER STATED A NEW COMPUTER WAS NEEDED, WHICH THEY INSTALLED AT A COST OF $ 1,405.32. THE CONSUMER DID SOME RESEARCH, AND DISCOVERED SOMEONE ELSE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED, THE FIX WAS SIMPLY REPLACING A DAMAGED WIRE. THE CONSUMER STATED AT THE BOTTOM OF HIS INVOICE, THE DEALER REPLACED THE WIRE, AFTER DISCOVERING REPLACING THE COMPUTER DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE SUNROOF LEAK HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THE JEEP, NEW. IT'S BEEN "REPAIRED" SEVERAL TIMES. THEY BLOW OUT THE DRAIN LINES AND TELL US NOT TO PARK NEAR ANY TREES. THEN I TAKE IT TO THE CARWASH AND IT LEAKS AGAIN. THEY TELL US NOT TO SPRAY THE WATER TO DIRECT AT THE ROOF. WATER GUSHING THROUGH MY DOME LIGHT HAS WASHED DOWN THROUGH THE DASH CONSOLE AND NOW MY HANDS FREE (U-CONNECT) IS MALFUNCTIONING. THE SERVICE DEPT, CHARGED ME TO LOOK AT IT AND SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT. IT'S STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. ALL THE CONSOLE BUTTONS ARE STICKING. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE JEEP HAD A WARRANTY PACKAGE. NOW THAT IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THEY CHARGE ME TO "PUT A BANDAID" ON IT AND TELL ME STAY OUT OF THE WOODS... WITH MY JEEP!!!! WHEN IS CHRYSLER GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR MIDDLE SEAT BELT FAILED AND WAS PULLED UP OUT OF THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
