The CVT fluid filler tube broke where the braket is, about 12 inches broke off. Dont know how long its been broken, I found it when I was changing the Electronic Throttle Body. This has happened to a lot of autos in the Chrysler family. Go to any Chrysler auto forum, I guarantee this will be something that has happened to 1 if not more people. Just google "broken cvt fluid filler tube" and it will all come up. This has to be a manufacture defect. Happening to too many people. They break at the same place, the bracket, no warning light indicator....nothing! It is usually found when something else is being done under the hood, then you see the broken piece just laying there. Thanking the Lord you and your family are ok, because had this piece of metal tubing broke off and went flying anything could have happened. This situation has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center nor has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance rep. I am providing pictures of the piece that broke off. I bought the vehicle used in July 2021, have had my vehicle serviced twice and noone has ever noticed the broken tube, I had to replace my battery in October 2021never noticed the broken piece. Only until I personally replaced the Electronic Throttle Body did I find the broken tube. And that was done yesterday Feb 19, 2022.

After filling the vehicle with a 'fill up', upon starting and driving, the vehicle began to start 'bucking' and lose power to accelerate. I looked this up and see many people with this same problem that either do not fill their tanks all the way anymore or corrected it by replacing their tank since they say this is a flaw in the design when fuel gets pulled into a canister or container that is supposed to push out vapor build up only, but pulls fuel back in and chokes out. Don't know if I am correct on this language since only going by what other people post. Please have Jeep look into this safety hazard and recall if necessary so I do not have to spend hundreds of dollars to replace a tank. Thank you.

Engine lurches and stalls after filling tank. Will do so 3 or 4 times, then settle down and run. Dangerous trying to enter traffic. No stall problem between fills. Many people having same problem as shown here: Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T29898_ds631498

The throttle body. I was entering the highway went to accelerate and it would not move just stuttered. A mack truck was speeding along luckily there was no one in the high-speed lane so he could swerve around me and beep at me I had to drive to the next exit doing 20mph in the breakdown lane and get it to my garage which was two towns over. Every time I had to stop at a light then accelerate it would stutter and only go to 20mph. The throttle light would come on then go off. I brought it to the garage and they had to order the part from far away because no place close to us had it due to high demand which leads me to believe this is an ongoing problem. I googled the problem and it seems widespread I am not sure why a recall was not issued peoples lives are at stake. I almost threw up in my car after the mack truck passed me and I realized I could of been killed. I paid $610.37 to get my car repaired so I am not sure if the expense of the part is the issue but again I could of been killed as could of a lot of others that I read about.

Raw gasoline fumes seems to be entering through air vents while vehicle is in operation, and fan is in use. I was leaving a convenience store when patrons in the parking lot waved me down to tell me they smelled fuel from my vehicle. I quickly exited from the lot to get the vehicle away from the store and fuel pumps. I didn't buy fuel at that visit. The local police department around the corner has an open lot, so I had an officer come out and a fireman relative stop in to make sure the vehicle wasn't going to combust. Left the Patriot sit and had an independent mechanic check it out the following day. He did not find anything upon letting the vehicle run and he tightened up the vent tube or fuel filler neck. This was several months ago. Tonight, with the tank at approximately 1/2 full, I made the same 3 mile trip, using defrost and fan, smelled raw fuel and by the time I got into the store my throat and lips were burning, lightheaded and things looked a little hazy. Drove home with the windows down and will apparently have to have this issue checked out again. Noticed the Jeep didn't seem to have great acceleration on the drive in. Mileage is now mid 40K range. Fuel smell coming out is wicked and toxic. I bought this vehicle brand new at the end of 2012. Light driving with a daily 6mile commute for work. This is extremely hazardous on several levels. I can't imagine having children and pets in the vehicle when this happens. Could this be a continuation of the 2012 fuel tank production problem of the same make and model?

Since I bought car in February of 2018, immensely they had to replace the rear ended and tie rods. I have always noticed how loose the steering is and if I drive in a groove in road the car would automatically go into that groove. I also notice going up a hill the cruise control would be set but car would slow down and not go up in elevation very well. Now the Jeep is chugging severely when I am at a complete stop and place gas to go again. It acts like fuel system is messing up and/or continuous transmission is messed up. Also the driver's and passenger seats do not heat and manufactured seat clips all broke simply by getting out of vehicle normally. The passenger seatbelt also locks no matter how or slow you pull it and lock it in. The passenger seat is way higher and unable to adjust height etc.. I am more concerned about power and slugging from stop position and cruise on hills.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Patriot. The contact noticed a chemical odor emitting from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop. The technician was unable to determine the cause of the failure; however, the odor persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician diagnosed that the rail fuel injector needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
