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.

The CVT transmission is failing before 60k miles and overheating during normal driving conditions. There were 2 prior owners before me and no vehicle history as to why it was traded into a dealer. No matter what I do the transmission heats rapidly and can only dissipate the heat would be to turn the heat on full blast.

I have a 2013 jeep patriot and the engine and temperature light comes on; on top on that it starts to decrease in speed slowing down out of nowhere I just started financing this vehicle and read reviews that others are having the same problem on repeat spending a lot of money on trying to repair the same issues. It's definitely a hazard that is not a solid fix. Hopefully me reaching out can help my problem and others. I am using this vehicle for work so it is very important that it's safe and secures my finances as well.

Recently my right rear control arm bolt sheered through the crossmember. I had it replaced at christian brothers and now the front is making the same noises the rear was making prior to being fixed. I saw that there had been an issue with 2012 models and earlier. I'm worried that my vehicle may also be defective. It's a 2013 that was bought in 2012. When the bolt sheered through the crossmember, I was going about 5 MPH turning left in a parking lot. The right rear control arm was completely out of the crossmember.

Cvt transmission overheating failure at 70 to 75 MPH on highway, car shut down without warning and I was forced to pull off to shoulder. If no shoulder potential fatality could have occurred from high speed trucks or cars unable to slow down thus crashing into rear of car. This situation has occurred with numerous patriots documented on the internet, as well as mine. Chrysler refuses to correct the problem by a recall.

2013 jeep patriot when driven on trips of 3 to 4 hours, the transmission overheat light come on and the vehicle loses power. And slowly loses all power to move the vehicle at all. When taken to the dealer, no data was found on the computer of the incident ever occuring and the dealer acts as though they have never heard of the situation, yet in the owners manual it tells you what to do if this situation occurs? Which to me means they know its a problem, which occurs repeated depending on the length of your trip. For most who only drive locally, they may never experience this because it only seems to happen on the highway after several hours of driving. We no longer drive this vehicle out of town because of that and feel forced to rent vehicles for our own safety. I dont understand why there hasnt been a recall on this issue, it is extremely unsafe and occurs only when traveling in high speed situation on expressways. The date I used below was the last date I was willing to risk my life driving out of town with this vehicle. There were many times before that.

When driving in warmer weather (not even hot weather) the transmission fluid light comes one and the jeep powers down. The manual states to let the car idle until the light comes off. No codes are ever detected and jeep says there is nothing they can do without a code. This will happen several times during a trip and leaves patriots stranded on the side of the highway with semi's and trucks whizzing by. It is very dangerous. On jeep forums there are many, many cases of others stating the same thing has happened to them. It is a known issue with the jatco CVT transmission and nissan has a class action lawsuit. This has happened to me at least 5 times to date.
