When starting my car it drives okay, but if let running all the lights come on, and if I drive 5 minutes down the road it goes off and then bings and all comes back on. I am being told it may be my clockspring and most 2008 jeeps are experiencing that after 100,000 miles but it is not a recall issue. I has the check engine on constantly as well as the airbag sensor.

Purchased vehicle used in 2013 11/17/2015 1. Engine continues to run when key is removed from ignition switch. While parked. First noticed last week 11/08/2015 (only as long as the preset time on the radio shut off or the door is opened) 2. With cruise control set and going up hill, transmission down shifts to maintain speed. While trying to keep speed up and then break applied, excessive force is required to dis-engage cruise control. While driving at normal speeds. For as long as I can remember. (break switch has been changed twice) 3. While filling fuel tank at gas station, paying close attention to the pump, fuel will pour out from the filler neck after the pump has shut off. For as long as I can remember. (many occasions) 4. Check engine light continuously on. Possible damage to hoses on emissions canister in left rear wheel well due to gas spillage? (as long as I can remember) 5. Gas cap indicator comes on at start. Possible damage to hoses on emissions canister in left rear wheel well due to gas spillage? (need to manually turn off, changed gas cap twice) 6. It seems that all things electrical have a delay to their function, flashing high beams, honking horn... While parked or driving. For as long as I can remember. (all of the time)

Was informed by my dealership that the crossmember that goes between the frame and holds the engine and transmission in place was rusted out and needed replacing. Was also informed that there was a recall for the part on 2007 jeep patriots, but not on 2008 and I'd have to pay for the repair. Was told not to drive the vehicle until repaired as it was a serious safety issue!!. What choice did I have? I paid. . . Through the nose for something that would have been covered had I bought a 2007 model. I was given this website to make a complaint. Additionally, have had issues with the door locks not working (pop up on their own while driving or parked) and automatic windows not always working (had to have have some "cylinder" for the electronics in the driver's side door replaced.) the "check engine" light still shows 'on' because a part that's on "backorder" in the back by where the gas is filled is rusted and needs replacing.

There has been an intermittent issue where the check engine light comes on followed by the traction control light (usually after making a left hand turn.) when this first started the vehicle was still under warranty, and went to jeep. They had our liberty for several days and swapped out the cam and crankshaft sensors to "fix" this problem. The car again was acting up within a month or so, and when we called the dealer back to bring it back in they advised us that the extended warranty that we paid a lot of money for was now expired. I took it to a local auto parts store to have the codes read. It was again code c121c, in conjunction with the codes relating to faulty cam and crankshaft sensors. Since the service department stated that they replaced the cam and crankshaft sensors. I replaced the needed parts and this lasted maybe 20 miles, prior to the lights coming back on. I attempted to replace them a second time thinking I may have gotten a defective part or two, but it wound up being the same end result; about 10-20 miles in the check engine light and traction control lights came on. This prevented the vehicle from shifting into over drive, it prevents the vehicle from accelerating at a normal speed, and above 50 MPH the whole vehicle will wildly shutter when you let your foot off the gas. Jeep will not warranty the drive terrain even though the state the vehicle should have a 100k mile warranty on the drive terrain.

The last 3 times I have filled the gas tank on my vehicle, gas has overflowed onto the ground. After the 2nd time, the check engine light came on. I brought it to the dealership and was advised the code read that the filler neck was faulty and needed to be replaced. I advised them that I had an issue with gas overflowing onto the ground when filling up and was advised it "may" be fixed by the new filler neck since there is a sensor in there. I had the filler neck replaced. I filled the jeep again today, roughly a week after having the filler neck replaced, and again gas overflowed and leaked down the side of my jeep and onto the ground. Up until this point, when filling my jeep, the gas pump would click off when the tank was full. I have gone to three different gas stations so it is not a problem with the pump at the station.
