2011 Jeep Patriot SUV FWD

Rear suspension lower control arm disconnected from the rear crossmember due to crossmember rust. The manufacturer isn't honoring the x69 front and rear crossmember rust out extended warranty because the vehicle is a few weeks past 10 years, but the vehicle was at the dealer a year before the warranty ran out and the rear crossmember was apparently not inspected, only the front suspension was looked at according to the Multi Point inspection recommendations.

Front cross member (Subframe is completely rusted)Causing a loud thumping noise when applying brakes or driving over bumps in the road. Very dangerous if the subframe would come completely separated from the vehicles body.(THIS Should definitely be a RECALL and why it hasn't been is a real mystery to me. This is not an isolated problem. Every Patriot owner I have talked to seem to have the same problem. Chrysler is aware of this too. I am expressing my deep concern on this matter and I know that there won't be a [XXX] thing done about it. I will be left with fixing this [XXX] on my own. In the meantime I refuse to let my wife drive the [XXX] thing until it is fixed. Chrysler should be held accountable for this defect but I'm sure that they won't. Wife bought this vehicle brand new in 2011 against my better judgement. But she's the one that paid for it. Now I'm paying for it in repair costs. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shut off with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that most times the vehicle would restart soon after the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle was once towed to his home after the failure but restarted the next day. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed him that there were no recalls on his vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

I’m the third owner of the vehicle. Didn’t know there was a rust problem on the subframe that holds the engine mount. During most recent oil change noticed the frame was rusting through. Called fca and the extended warranty they sent to the other owners expired 5 months previous to me noticing the problem. They wouldn’t make exception to the warranty even though I had no previous knowledge that this was an issue. Car is in great condition except the possibility of the engine falling out of car. No rust on the car except for the frame where the air conditioning drips.

Every single time after putting gas, my car wont go further than 10 feet without turning off/stalling. Some times it wont turn back on and takes several tries to get it back up and running. I feel at risk for my life and those in the car with me because not only does it stall but my steering wheel locks everytime and I am unable to move or do anything. God forbid one day it stops and a car is headed in my direction I will be stuck in place. I have read online multiple people have had this issue but no one can seem to find a definitive solution. This started to happen around winter of 2019/spring 2020 and has been happening ever since. The date I recorded below is the most recent time it's occurred.

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that upon taking her vehicle to an independent mechanic, the mechanic discovered a significant amount of rust to the sub frame of the vehicle. The mechanic informed her that there might have been a recall on the vehicle for the corrosion. The mechanic also informed her that the vehicle was unsafe to drive due to the amount of rust on the suspension. The contact then called the dealer and was informed that there was a warranty on the vehicle for the corrosion on the subframe however, the warranty had expired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

rust holes in front sub frame

Structural issue/rust - engine cradle - front cross member rusted through on underside of Jeep. The car broke down while we were traveling and had to have a cross member replaced at a dealership. The car ran but was noisy and unsafe to drive, and we were 4 hours from home. Despite having an oil change recently, we were not warned of the issue. The replacement cost about $1500 out of pocket.

The front subframe rusted through on the left hand side which in turn caused the lower control arm to shift outward preventing full steering capabilities. There was a warranty extension dated back from 2017, brought into service on December of 2019, to the Chrysler dealership where it was purchased for lights on the cluster and a steering vibration and no one mentioned the subframe issue that was persisting on this model year. Was told rather that it needed a new bearing and a speed sensor. Replaced both and the issue wasn’t fixed. I am told now (July 2021) that this extension expired in March of this same year. Was told by both the dealer and the customer service hotline that there is absolutely nothing they can do. They also mentioned that there should have been a letter sent out for this warranty extension but nothing was ever received. Been at the same address since well before the purchase date of this vehicle.

I purchased my 2011 Jeep Patriot from a car dealership in October of 2020. After a week of having the vehicle, I noticed a loud clunking sound coming from underneath. I took it back to the dealer and was told it was nothing. After taking it to my mechanic, he found major rust and corrosion on the front and rear subframe and crossmembers. I paid $2200 in repairs on the car, only to find out the he only did the front end of the car. The back end is just as bad and the car is unsafe for me to drive. When he did the front end of the car, the pieces fell apart as he began taking it apart. This car was a ticking time bomb. It’s now June of 2021 and I don’t know what to do

Front and Rear Crossmembers have significant rust/corrosion. Fiat Chrysler TSB 23-007-17 rev. B provides 10 year warranty extension for cross-members on 2008-2012 Jeep Patriot vehicles in rust belt states (including Maryland and DC, but excluding Virginia). My wife's 2011 Jeep Patriot has significant front and rear crossmember rust, and for most of it's life was parked in Arlington, VA, 2 miles from the Washington DC border. FCA says that our vehicle is not covered by the TSB Extended Crossmember Warranty. I contacted FCA Customer Care to request that they apply this extended warranty coverage to our vehicle, based on the close proximity to rust belt states (~2 miles), existence of significant rust on both cross members, and the vehicle clearly being within the affected model years covered by the TSB. FCA documented my complaint in Case number 79657231, but advised that there is no process for me as an owner to request that the extended crossmember warranty be applied to our vehicle. Basically, nobody at Chrysler is even going to consider my request. I am reporting this to NHTSA because I believe the TSB that FCA issued fails to remediate safety concerns on all affected vehicles. Their unwillingness to even review my request demonstrates they are not at all concerned about customer or vehicle safety. They should be forced to fix this safety issue on all impacted vehicles.

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while getting the vehicle inspected, she was informed that the front and rear cross member had holes due to rust. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was relating the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 11V315000 (Steering). The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not eligible for the free repair. The failure mileage was approximately 131,641.

Bought vehicle from Ray Price dealer 2 years ago with 81k miles Vehicle passed inspection with them(was already inspected upon purchase) was clearly told by salesman that vehicle didn't need to have warranty. Should raised a red flag being I purchase it cash for 10k. Began to notice a clunk sound..took it to my mechanic figuring it was just brakes and or rotors. He called me immediately and said the entire frame was rusted out. And good thing I made it to him and further driving I would have been in a severe accident. He told me to take it to the autobody shop. Upon inspection they found the entire subframe completely corroded. $2000 in repairs( not covered under any warranty) 3 weeks without car. Subframe and control arms had to be replaced

Filled gas tank and restarted Jeep. Pulled away from gas station into traffic and the jeep sputtered and died. Restarted and spit and sputtered and died again. After several tries and waiting, car started. Idled roughly for a few minutes then cleared up. No problems or indication of any problems until had to get gas again. Another incident while filling gas tank, pump continuously cut off and had to pump extremely slow to fill tank. Again, sputter and spat after starting. At times as the gas is going in it sounds like a gulping sound after I stop pumping gas. These problems happen every time have to get gas. It is dangerous and very frustrating. This has been going on way too long. I took it to the shop and the mechanic says the roll over valve inside the gas tank is stuck and I must have a new gas tank installed at $1500. I would welcome you to inspect this vehicle. There have been no warning lamps, signals, messages, or other indicator of a problem with the vehicle.

Subframe is a hazard

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE BEFORE THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE FRONT AXLE AND THE CONTROL ARM NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED PHOTOS.

THE VEHICLE STOPS WITHOUT WARNING - I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING - THE CAR JUST STOPS RUNNING THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON NEIGHBORHOOD ROADS AND AT INTERSECTIONS - IF YOU LET IT SIT FOR AWHILE IT SOMETIMES WILL RESTART IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR OVER A YEAR (PARTLY DUE TO COVID) BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT - MARSHALL DODGE JEEP IN CRITTENDEN KY HAS IDENTIFIED THE ISSUE IS WITH THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULAR (TIPM) - I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER FOR RECALL AS I KNOW OTHER MAKES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS BUT THEY TELL ME THAT YOU HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR MY PARTICULAR MAKE MODEL - PROB DUE TO IT IS A LIMIT EDITION THEY ONLY MADE A FEW OF THESE FOR THEIR ANNIVERSARY MY CAR HAS OVER 100,000 MILES AND I EXPECT TO MAKE SOME REPAIRS BUT THIS SEEMS IRRESPONSIBLE ON THE PART TO CHRYSLER AND I WOULD EXPECT THEM TO MAKE GOOD ON IT TO SOME EXTENT - I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED WHEN MY CAR STOPPED GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY - THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THIS OCCURRED IN 2019 - IT IS RANDOM SO IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO DIAGNOSIS AND THEN COVID KEPT MY CAR PARKED BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SOON AFTER EXITING HIS DRIVEWAY, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DRIVEWAY TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, HE BECAME AWARE THAT THE REAR CROSSMEMBER WAS RUSTED AND WAS DETACHING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED EXECUTIVE JEEP (900 UNIVERSAL DR N, NORTH HAVEN, CT 06473) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE WARRANTY HAD ALREADY EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,570.

I HAD ALREADY TAKEN MY VEHICLE AND SUPPOSEDLY TO HAVE THE SAFETY RECALL DEALT WITH ABOUT 10 MINUTES AGO I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY ROAD AND THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR ZERO REASON.

RECALL NUMBER: 13V-233 AND RECALL NUMBER: 16V-668 CALL DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALLS FIXED, AND THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION SAYING THEY WOULD CALL, BUT THEY NEVER DID. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS KEPT ME FROM HAVING THE REGISTRATION UP DATED. RESULTING IN GETTING THICKETS FOR DRIVING WITH EXPIRED TAGS.

CROSSMEMBERS ROTTED. BRACKETS HOLDING IT ROTTED OFF. DIFFERENTIAL ROTTED. SUBFRAME ROTTED.

2011 JEEP PATRIOT VIN# [XXX] WAS MADE AWARE THAT MY FRONT SUBFRAME IS RUSTING THROUGH ITS 10 YEARS OLD WITH WELL TAKING CARE OFF WITH 100000 MILES THE DEALER WON'T ANSWER MY ENQUIRERS. PLZ HELP ME. FINDING OUT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM ON THESES VEHICLES INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE SUBFRAME AND REAR ARE RUSTING AND THE VEHICLE WON'T PASS INSPECTION AND THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS ON THE ROAD IF THE VEHICLE PASSES INSPECTION AND OUT OF NO WEAR THE RUST HITS AND THE VEHICLE IS NOW VERY UNSAFE. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT HAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL. THEY REALLY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. THANKS

THE LIGHT OF AIRBAGS TURN ON , TURN OFF STAY ON , ABS AND BRAKE ON LEFT LIGHT SIGNAL WHEN TURN ON SWITCH AND THE SIGNAL MAKE SOUND WARNING AND START TO FLASH TO FAST.

WHEN FUELING AT A GAS STATION AND THE VEHICLE IS OFF I CAN ONLY PUT ROUGHLY 25 CENTS OF FUEL IN AT A TIME.

MY MECHANIC HAS BEEN TELLING ME THAT THE FRAME/SUBFRAME OF MY JEEP PATRIOT IS EXTREMELY CORRODED. THE RUST HAS CORRODED OTHER PARTS OF MY CAR AND IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. THE CORROSION HAS SERIOUSLY DETERIORATED THE REAR CROSS MEMBER OF MY CAR. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A NUMBER OF CLAIMS TO CHRYSLER ON THE STRUCTURAL DAMAGES OF SOME JEEP MAKES/MODELS. I ONCE TRIED CLAIMING THE WARRANTY BUT THE DEALER DENIED SERVICES TO MY CAR. I NEED HELP TO FIX THIS.

I BELIEVE A FEW YEARS BACK THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SENSOR GOING OFF. I HAD THE SENSOR CHECKED, AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS ADDRESSED AND CLEARED. MY SENSOR IS NOW GOING OFF AGAIN. IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AGAIN UNTIL THE PREVIOUS RECALL?

WHEN IT RAINS THE SUN ROOF LEAKS INSIDE OF THE CAR THROUGH THE INTERIOR LIGHT.

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK TO NORMAL FULL LEVEL, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND RUN AT VERY LOW RAM. THIS ONLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE TANK TO FULL AND STARTING TO ACCELERATE AT A NORMAL RATE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE ACROSS MANY JEEP VEHICLES.

JEEP STALLS AFTER REFUELING. ANYTIME YOU FULLY FILL THE TANK THIS IS AN ISSUE. WAS VERY STARTLING THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES IT HAPPENED. I NOW EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN, BUT FOR OTHER PEOPLE IT COULD BE AN EXTREME HAZARD. IT HAPPENS WITH THE VEHICLE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. SUBSIDES AFTER SECOND OR THIRD RESTART...OR IF YOU LET IT SIT WITH THE GAS CAP OPEN FOR A MINUTE OR SO, THESE SEEMS TO HELP.

THE FRONT SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND DETERIORATED, UNSAFE TO DRIVE ANY LONGER.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY THE FRONT FRAME BROKE AND THE CV AND FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL FELL OFF THE VEHICLE, I HAD TO WRESTLE THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD TO HAVE BOTH FRONT AND BACK REPLACED WITH SEVERAL OTHER PARTS THE DEALER HAD BROKE IN THE PROCESS OF "FIXING" IT

THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS WITH THE ROLLOVER VALVE WHICH IS LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK. WHEN I PUT FUEL IN, IT ACTS LIKE IT IS FULL, EVEN THOUGH THE GAS GAUGE IS TELLING ME THAT I HAVE TANK OF GAS. IT WILL ONLY TAKE THE GAS IF I PUT IN GALLON AT A TIME. THEN WHEN I START TO DRIVE IT, IT WANTS TO STALL, AND I HAVE TO GIVE IT THE GAS AND THEN IT RUNS. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS IS A PROBLEM IN ALL JEEPS. IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT THE ROLLOVER VALVE COULD REMAIN OPEN INSTEAD OF CLOSING. THE VALVE IS STICKING AND UNRELIABLE. THIS VALVE DOES IT EVERY TIME YOU PUT GAS IN IT.

THE COMPANY GRAVA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (29 MYSTIC AVE, MEDFORD, MA 02155) , DID NOT PERFORM THE REQUESTED RECALL. HE RETURNED THE CAR TO ME WITH NO SOLUTION AND NO DOCUMENTS. BUT I HAVE AN EXCHANGE OF TEXT MESSAGES WITH THE EMPLOYEE OF THE COMPANY WHERE I MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I NEED THE RECALL.

MY 2011 JEEP PATRIOT ONLY HAS 80000 MILES ON IT, RECENTLY TOOK IT TO GARAGE FOR NOISES AND MECHANIC SAYS THE SUB FRAME IS CORRODING AND IT'S GOING TO BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS A BIG EXPENSE AND ESPECIALLY WITH SO FEW MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I'VE GONE ON LINE AND READ MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS.

LOUD CLUNK NOISE WHEN DRIVING, NOTICED THE SUB FRAME THAT'S THE CONTROL ARMS ARE CONNECTED TO AND THE ENGINE AND POWER TRAIN ARE SUPPOSED BY IS RUSTED AND ROOTED SO MUCH I CAN PUSH MY FINGER THROUGH IT. *TR

EVERY TIME GAS TANK IS FILLED THE CAR BUCKS THEN STALLS AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THIS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION. I HAVE READ ON FORUMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN JEEPS FOR YEARS BUT HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED. ACCORDING TO THE POST THE ISSUE HAS TO DEAL WITH THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH GAS PUMPS SHUTTING OFF WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK. I ATTEMPTED TO TAKE IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW GAS CAP. $100 LATER AND STILL THE SAME ISSUE.

VEHICLE WAS RANDOMLY UNABLE TO START IN STATIONARY POSITION IN MY INSTANCE. AUTO SHUTDOWN BOX HARNESS AND FAN CONTACTS POORLY PROTECTED FROM MOISTURE AND CONTACTS BECOME CORRODED. RELAY PANEL APPEARS TO BE LOCATED IN THE DRIVER FRONT FENDER BETWEEN THE WHEEL WELL AND THE HEADLIGHT. EITHER PREVENTING VEHICLE FROM STARTING OR POSSIBLY CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL WHEN IN MOTION MAKING VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO STEER OR STOP. ALSO CAUSES MULTIPLE ENGINE CODES TO BECOME DETECTED ACTIVATING MIL.

THE RIGHT FRONT LOWER FRAME IS RUSTED THUS CREATING A LOUD FRICTION NOISE FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING

CROSSBAR IS RUSTING THROUGH. I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER THE X69 EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT WOULD STILL COST ME $975 FOR THE REPAIR

MY JEEP STARTED THROWING CODES P0420, WHICH IS SAYING THE CATALYST EFFICIENCY IS BELOW THRESHOLD, AKA CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR ALREADY. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE MY CAR JUST SO HAPPENS TO NOT BE ONE OF THE VEHICLES TO BE RECALLED. ITS EFFECTING DRIVE PERFORMANCE AND THE EMISSIONS ITS PRODUCING IN THE AIR COULD BE UNSAFE.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AND IT TURNED OFF ON HER TWICE TRYING TO GET IT BACK HOME. ALL ELECTRICAL WENT OUT AND ENGINE STALLED. AFTER THE SECOND TIME IT ONLY GOES 10 MPH AND STILL STALLS AND POWERS OFF. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I FEEL SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB.

OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS, THE JEEP PATRIOT WILL STUTTER WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT TWICE AND HE BELIEVES THAT THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. ONCE I GOT ONLINE, I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE THE THE CVT TRANSMISSION USED IN THESE VEHICLES. ADDITIONALLY, JEEP MUST KNOW THAT THE CVT IS FLAWED, BECAUSE THEY STOPPED THE USE OF IT IN 2014.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER WAITING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD BE ILLUMINATED EVERY TIME THE FAILURE RECURRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE EXPRESSWAY, IT VEERED TO THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE UNDER CARRIAGE WAS DISINTEGRATED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER NAPLETON OFF ROAD LOCATED AT 5950 N WESTERN AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60659 WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY FRONT END CROSSMEMBER RUSTED AWAY & MY TIRE FELL OFF, IT'S NOT EVEN DRIVABLE. 2 DELIVERSHIPS RAN MY VIN & SAID ITS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS MADE IN CANADA & THE US DOESN'T HONOR CANADIAN WARRANTIES. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE WHERE IT WAS MADE?

VEHICLE STALLS AND POWER STEERING FAILS AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. THIS HAPPENS EITHER IMMEDIATELY, OR A FEW MILES AWAY REGARDLESS OF SPEED. VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY AND VIOLENTLY BUCK, THEN STALL MINIMUM OF TWO TIMES.

CVT?

I WAS CLEANING MY PATRIOT 2011 WHEN I NOTICE THAT THE SUBFRAME HAS HOLES. I ALSO OWEN A 2008 JEEP PATRIOT AND I GOT A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROMBLEM. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THE SAME PROMBLEM THEY SAID THEY DIDNT HAD A RECALL FOR 2011 JEEP. MY BIGGEST WORRY WHEN DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE I THAT AT ANY MOMENT THE SUBFRAME MAY BRAKE, ME THAT I DRIVE CONSTALY ON A HIGHWAY IT IS A DAMGEROUS SITUATION. I FEEL THAT ALL JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF DANGERS. I NOTICE THIS BECAUSE I WAS PLAYING WITH MY SON AND A BALL WENT UNDERNEATH THE CAR. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR I THOUGHT THE CRACKING SOUND WAS THE TIRES, BUT WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT. SO NOW I AM ASSUMING THE SUBFRAME IS TO BLAME. I WOULD HIGHLY APPRECIATE IF SOMETHING COULD BE DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP. ON SOME OCCASIONS, THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS INTENDED. THE MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. WEST HILLS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (900 W HILLS BLVD, BREMERTON, WA 98312, (360) 616-3275) WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 65 THE JEEPS MOTOR SHUT OFF AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE BUT I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE JEEP WILL START RIGHT BACK UP LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG AFTER A FEW MINUTES. PLEASE HELP VERY DANGEROUS.

I HAVE NOTICE A RECALL ON FROBT AND REAR SUBFRAME RUST AND PREFOARTIONS AND CROSS MEMVER. MECHANIC SAYS SUBFRANES ARE RUSTED ALL THE THROUGH AND BROKE. HE STATES CAR IS TOO NEW FOR THIS TO BE GAPPENING. JEEP HAS BEEN A HASSLE-SIBE ALREADY REPLACED $1500 WORTH OF2 A ARNS/CONTROL ARNS AT FIRESTONE. BIDY IS RUSTING AND CAR IS WELL CARED FIR- SIBE I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING CANCER AND THIS IS AND HAS BEEN MY ONLT TRANSPORTATION FIR CAR. I AM ASKING WHY NT CAR IS NOT UNDER ANY OF THE RECALKS BUT INE CHEAPER SERVICE RECALK-AS IT CERTAINLY FALLS UNDER ALL THE RECALLS CURRENTLY THE 2011 HEEP PATRIOT HAS ON IT. VER DISAPPOINTED AND WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP I CAN RECEIVE IN THIS MATTER. ALSO-JEEP HAS ALWAYS OULLED TO THE RIGHT SINCE I BOUGHT IT-GOT CAR ALIGNMENT STILL OULLS TO THE RIGHT. AGAIN-JEEP HAS BEEN A GASSLE TO OWN. I BIUGHT BRAND NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 45-50 MPH, SMOKE WAS DETECTED AND THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT LOT. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DECLINED TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

JEEP PATRIOT 2011 AT REACHING 90K MILES HAD A POPING SOUND FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE. TOOK IT IN AND IT WAS THEN FOUND THE SUBFRAME/CROSSMEMBER IS COMPLETELY CORRODED. IT'S NO LONGER BEING DRIVEN AS AT ANY MOMENT THE ENGINE CAN FALL OUT. THIS TYPE OF CORROSION IS SEEN AT CARS 30YRS+, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE HOW BAD IT IS. WE ARE A HOUSEHOLD OF MULTIPLE CARS AND WHILE THE JEEP IS THE YOUNGEST ONE, IT'S IN THE WORST SHAPE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT TIRES WERE WORN AND THREE SETS OF FRONT TIRES HAD TO BE PURCHASED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING WAS DETERIORATED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE CONTACT HAD TO STRAIGHTEN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,967.

I WAS SITTING AT THE LIGHT WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTS TO JUMP WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES TO MOVE TWITH TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE JUMPS AND THEN DRIVES AS NORMAL. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP TO HAVE A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE VEHICLE ON THE 3RD AND WHILE HE WAS TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED OPERATING AS WE WERE TURNING AROUND AND THE ENGINE BEGINS TO REV BUT NOT MOVE AND AFTER TRYING AGAIN TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE THE ENGINE THEN BEGAN TO MAKE A KNOCKING SOUND. THE MECHANIC THEN DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO BE GOING OUT VERY SOON. SO I HAVE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND BEEN DOING RESEARCH TO FIND THAT THIS A COMMON THING WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS AS I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 6 YEARS WITH 152,000 MILES. THERE WERE NO TRUE SIGNS OF ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT I COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS TYPE OF BREAKDOWN.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER PICKING UP MY 3 CHILDREN FROM DAYCARE. I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH AND THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE FOLDED OUTWARD. THE SUB FRAME AND CROSS MEMBERS APPARENTLY ARE DEFECTIVE.UNBEKNOWNST TO ME THERE IS A WARRANTY 10 YEAR/ UNLIMITED MILEAGE. THERE WAS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON JEEP PATRIOTS/ COMPASSES BETWEEN 2001-2007 BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. INSTEAD OF FIXING THE ISSUE THIS COMPANY/ MANUFACTURER HAS CONTINUED TO USE THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS ON NEWER MODELS SUCH AS MINE. I MIGHT ADD FOR SOME ODD REASON THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DOESN'T COVER MY YEAR ALTHOUGH ITS THE SAME DEFECTIVE SUB FRAME AND CROSS MEMBER PARTS. ALL THEY HAVE DONE WAS OFFER THIS WARRANTY, WHICH I WAS NEVER MADE AWARE OF OR TOLD ABOUT BY THEM OR THE DEALER I MADE MY PURCHASE THROUGH. AFTER MY CHILDREN AND I NEARLY GOT SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED DID I LOOK INTO THIS AND FOUND OUT. DUE TO THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS NOT ONLY WERE WE ALMOST KILLED BUT THE CAR SUFFERED SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END AND THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS VARIOUS OTHER PARTS AND COMPONENTS. I STILL HAVE PAYMENTS LEFT ON THIS AUTOMOBILE AND IT IS COMPLETELY INOPERABLE AND REALLY HASN'T GOTTEN THAT MUCH USE COMPARED TO THE AMOUNT I'VE PAID ALREADY, NOT EVEN COUNTING WHAT I STILL OWE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY SEEM COMPLETELY UNCONCERNED AND UNHELPFUL IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A JEEP/ FIAT/ CHRYSLER PRODUCT EVER AGAIN. THESE PEOPLE PUT ME AND MY FAMILY KNOWINGLY INTO A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE AND NEARLY GOT US KILLED. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 65MPH AND THIS HAD HAPPENED I WOULD NOT BE HERE WRITING THIS. ALL I CAN DO IS THANK GOD IT DECIDED TO FAIL WHEN IT DID, NOT LATER ON THE INTERSTATE. TO SUM IT UP TIRE CAME OFF, LOST STEERING CONTROL, GROUND TO A HALT IN THE STREET SIDEWAYS, CAR FLUIDS POURING ALL OVER ROAD. ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF SCENE.

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS IN 2011 IT HAS ALWAYS IDLED ROUGH AND STALLED RANDOMLY. APPARENTLY THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS RANDOM STALLING AND IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET IN SEVERAL CAR ACCIDENTS AND ONE TIME TO CRASH ON THE SIDEWALK AND ALMOST HARM PEDESTRIANS. UNFORTUNATELY I THINK I WILL BE FORCED TO SELL THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS EXTENSIVE RUST ON HER VEHICLE, WHICH INCLUDED THE K FRAME, THE A FRAME, AND THE FRONT AND REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRES. DUE TO THE RUST, THE STEERING WAS AFFECTED AND LOUD METAL GRINDING NOISES WERE HEARD WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE REPAIR COST WOULD EXCEED THE ACTUAL VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. NEW SMYRNA CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (2555 FL-44, NEW SMYRNA BEACH, FL 32168, 386-424-1300) WAS CALLED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY; HOWEVER, THE WARRANTY WOULD ONLY COVER PART OF THE RUST REPAIR. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THEIR FACILITY TO ASSESS WHAT THE WARRANTY COULD COVER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 122,000.

MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT THE END OF MAY 2019, I HAVE GONE TO MY BANK TO GET A LOAN TO HAVE IT FIXE AND UPON TALKING TO MY LOAN OFFICER HE INFORMED ME THAT W.IN 150 MILE RADIUS THERE HAS BEEN 14 LOANS TO HAVE TRANSMISSIONS FIXED ON HOW MANY HAS THERE BEEN IN THE STATE OF WI, IN THE WHOLE JEEP COMMUNITY? THERE WAS NO GIVEN WARNING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM W/ OUR JEEP, IT JUST STOPPED WORKING AS MY SON WAS ABOUT TO GO TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING. IT MOVED ABOUT 5 FT AND THAT WAS ABOUT IT, NOTHING MORE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG W/ THIS VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE TRANSMISSION STOPPING. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? JEEP IS A MONEY MAKER, I KNOW THERE A MANY FACTORS IN RECALLS BUT I FIND THAT THIS IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE PRODUCT ITSELF.

THREE TIMES OUR 2011 JEEP PATRIOT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING BROKE THEN WENT INTO LIMP MODE. WE WERE ON A BUSY FREEWAY TWICE AND GETTING READY TO GET ON ONCE. AFTER CALLING GOOD SAM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO A MECHANIC. WE HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AT 2 DIFFERENT TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT GET ANY CODES ON IT. A FEW YEARS BACK WHEN ON A DIFFERENT INCIDENT WE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND ENDED UP REPLACING THE CONTROL MODULE WHICH FIXED IT. THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT. I WAS DONE AFTER THREE TIMES. WE ENDED UP TRADING IT IN FOR A NEW HONDA CRV. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP AGAIN. WE ARE SURPRISED THEY NEVER RECALLED THE PROBLEM WITH THE CONTROL MODULE. I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS AND PROOF

5 OR SO MINUTES AFTER FILLING UP MY CAR IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN THE RIGHT LANE I WAS ALMOST HIT RIGHT ON. THIS MAKES THE 5TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WILL LUNGE FORWARD THEN DECELERATE. HARD TO ACCELERATE. EVEN WHILE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON IT WILL LUNGE OR HESITATE. THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO NEVER GOES OFF EVEN WHEN I HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION IS NOT WANTING TO SHIFT GEARS

CAR SHUTS OFF QND STOPS WITHOUT WARNING EVERYTIME AFTER FILLING TANK WITH FUEL... VERY DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY...

BAD LOWER BALL JOINT AT 73K HAD TO REPLACE LOWER CONTROL ARM

WENT TO GET A STICKER AND THEY LET ME KNOW THAT IT WOULD NOT PASS DUE TO A RUSTED/CORROSIVE SUB FRAME. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS WITH MANY JEEP PATRIOTS OF MANY YEARS. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN CHANGED OR RECALLS DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO RIVER OAKS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (4807 KIRBY DR, HOUSTON, TX 77098, (713) 524-3801) TO BE REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL. THE DEALER FOUND A FRACTURED TRANSMISSION FILL TUBE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OCCURRED AT THE EMISSIONS FACILITY SINCE NO MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,278.

THE FRONT AND REAR SUBFRAMES RUST AND CRACK.. IVE SEEN ONLINE WHERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I WAS JUST DRIVING THE OTHER DAY AND NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE THE WHEEL OR ENGINE IS EITHER FALLING OUT OR BUSTING THROUGH

MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS FAILING AND THE SENSORS ARE COMING ON. IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ,I AM LOSING POWER IN MY VEHICLE WHICH IS DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2011 JEEP PATRIOT WHICH I HAVE BUT MY VIN NUMBER SHOWS ITS NOT ON THE LIST. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?

I ROLLED THE JEEP AND NOT ALL THE AIR BAGS PROPERLY DEPLOYED. EVEN THE COP WAS SURPRISED. THE AIRBAG DID NOT COME OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD LOUD ABNORMAL NOISES COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT FRAME CROSSMEMBERS HAD CORRODED AND FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. A UNKNOWN DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, A CLUNKING SOUND WAS HEARD UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE SUBFRAME ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS SEVERELY RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE . THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,395.

CAR HAS 81367 MILES ON IT, 2011 JEEP PATRIOT AND THE SUB FRAME HAS ROTTED AND THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR OFF ROADING, JUST NORMAL DRIVING. VERY DISAPPOINTED, SINCE I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR FOR 6 YEARS.

81367 MILES AND THE SUBFRAME HAS ROTTED OUT. CAR HAS BEEN USED FOR NORMAL USE... NO OFF ROADING. I AHVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR FOR 6 YEARS.

YOU NEED TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE VEHICLES ITS RIDICULOUS HOW EXPENSIVE THEY ARE NO NORMAL PERSON CAN AFFORD THIS FIX. NOBODY IN WAYNE COUNTY EVEN WANTS TO WORK ON IT. O CANT AFFORD A NEW TRANSMISSION. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR. IT'S ONLY AT 120K . I LOVE MY JEEP. BUT IT IS NOTHING BUT STRESS AND DEPRESSION. IT IS NOT RIGHT MAN.

DRIVING ALONG AND LOSE OF POWER IN THE TRANSMISSION. GOT IT PARKED AND NOW IT WONT GO. DIDNT HAVE A LOUD NOISE OR ANY WARNING. IT JUST WOULDNT GO.

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY SON IN THE CAR, THE CAR SHUDDERED, LOST ALL POWER AND THE POWERING STEERING MUST HAVE GONE AS I COULD ONLY TURN THE WHEEL WITH EXTREME FORCE ENOUGH TO COAST OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CAR THEN CRANKED BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. DROVE SLOWLY HOME. WAS TAKING THE VERY NEXT MORNING TO HAVE SERVICE DONE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THERE IS NO WAY TO NOTIFY THE CARS BEHIND YOU THAT YOU HAVE NO POWER OR CONTROL. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHICH I HAVE READ IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THE 2016 WAS RECALLED FOR THIS AS A CHURCH FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT HIS. I'M WONDERING WITH THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED WHY ONLY THE 2016 HAS BEEN RECALLED. MY FATHER IS A MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE HAS NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE.

SUB FRAME ROTTED OUT , LOWER A ARM CAME OFF ON DRIVER SIDE REAR .

THE REAR SUSPENSION IS RUSTED OUT SO BAD IT STARTED TO BREAK AND I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM DEALERSHIP 4 YEARS AGO AND A 2011 SHOULDNT RUST THAT BAD AND I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEY HAD TO REPLACE REAR SUSPENSION CROSSBAR DUE TO FULL RUST AND BREAKING AND IF IM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE HOW MANY OTHER CARS SAME MAKE AND MODEL ARE EFFECTED BY THIS CAN WE PLEASE RECALL THIS ASAP SO WE CAN MAKE SURE NO OTHER CARS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS THE DATE IT WAS NOTICED IS THE DATE I PUT WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN THE CAR AUTO SHOP WOULDNT EVEN TOUCH MY ALIGNMENT CAUSE HE WAS SO SCARED MY REAR SUPSENSION CROSSBAR WOULD SHATTER WHEN HE TOOK IT OFF CAUSE ITS THAT RUSTED PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS ISSUE FIX

PROBLEM RECURRING ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. AT ALL SPEEDS FROM IDLE TO 75 MPH. THE LATEST WAS ON HIGHWAY DRIVING 75 MPH CAR DROPPED DOWN TO 30 MPH AND THEN STALLED CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING AND ALMOST AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN TO THE JEEP MANUFACTURER AS STATED BY DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY/ SOFTWARE IS THE ISSUE AND OCCURES IN MODELS FROM 2008 - CURRENT THEN VERBALLY QUOTED ME $650 FOR REPAIR. I THEN RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND MORE THAN 2500 PEOPLE WITH THE ISSUE AND THAT'S JUST PEOPLE LOOKING FOR HELP.

WE HAVE HAD THREE INCIDENTS SO FAR OF OUR 2011 JEEP PATRIOT LOSING SIGNIFICANT POWER AND STRUGGLING TO ACCELERATE. THE FIRST INVOLVED OVERHEATING ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD AFTER A LONG ROAD TRIP. ALLOWING THE CAR TO REST ALLOWED US TO MAKE IT TO OUR DESTINATION WITH NO FURTHER SYMPTOMS DURING THE REMAINDER OF OUR TRIP. TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK RPMS DROP UNLESS BURYING THE ACCELERATOR INTO THE FLOOR, AT WHICH POINT THERE IS A LOUD WHINING SOUND WITH LITTLE TO SHOW IN TERMS OF SPEED. WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE SPEED OVER 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 70. WE ALSO LOSE THE ABILITY TO ADJUST THE GEAR MANUALLY. AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY THE CAR CONTINUES TO BE SLOW TO GAIN SPEED AT LIGHTS, AND WORSE MAKING IT UPHILL TO OUR HOME, EVEN AT 25 MPH. AFTER RESTING THE ISSUE SUBSIDES UNTIL RETURNING WITHOUT WARNING. SEARCHING GOOGLE FOR "JEEP CVT FAILURE" YIELDS DOZENS OF RESULTS FOR JEEP PATRIOT AND COMPASS, AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES USING THE SAME JATCO CVT TRANSMISSION. THIS FAILURE MAKES THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE "SOLUTION" TO THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE TO CONTINUALLY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST $5000 PER INCIDENT TO THE OWNER WITH THE SAME FLAWED PRODUCT. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MY SPEED CUT OUT ON ME WHILE OVERTAKING A FREIGHT TRUCK, OR MAKING A LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER, AND LET'S GET JATCO TO AT LEAST SWAP OUT THE TRANSMISSION FOR A RECONDITIONED ONE WHEN THESE FAILURES OCCUR.

TAKATA RECALL I AM PREGNANT AND JEEP CAN NOT OFFER ME ANY SAFETY RESOLUTION,I COULD GET INTO A ACCIDENT AND KILLYSELF AMDY CHILD I FEEL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE .ALSO MY FRONT AND BACK SUBFRAM IS TOTALLY RUSTED OUT AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER THINGS TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS. HELP PLEASE I NEED TO FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE.

THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF EARLY TRANSMISSION FAILURE, EVEN WITH WITH NORMAL SERVICING. ISSUES START WITH A WHINING NOISE, OVERHEAT WARNINGS, AND AN INABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE MOST COMMON SOLUTION IS REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. LATE 2014 MODEL YEAR PATRIOTS CHANGED TO A NON-CVT TRANSMISSION. AFTER REPLACING ORIGINAL CVT TRANSMISSION FOR $2,500 IT FAILED AGAIN WITHIN 6 MONTHS. THE JEEP IS UNDRIVE-ABLE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION. MY JEEP IS UNDRIVE-ABLE AND STILL OWE $5900 WHILE IT SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY!! TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHILE DRIVING AND JEEP STALLS MAKING IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. INTERNET FORUMS HAVE COUNTLESS COMPALINTS ABOUT THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS WITH SAME SYMPTOMS!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, AN UNUSUAL NOISE WAS HEARD UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOLAND CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (800-288-6526, LOCATED AT 170 US-22, SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, NJ 07081) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CROSS MEMBER WAS ROTTED OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,212.

I BOUGHT THE PATRIOT NEW AND IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE AND NEVER GAVE ANY WARNING BEFORE EXPERIENCING CRITICAL PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING. ON 2 OCCASIONS THE PATRIOT LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING, LEAVING ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN BUSY TRAFFIC. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING IN ON A BUSY CITY STREET WHEN THE JEEP NO LONGER ACCELERATED ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD POPPING SOUND. NOW I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION ON A CARE WITH 91,000 MILES. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN RECURRENT OVERHEATING PROBLEMS THE REPAIR SHOP CANNOT EXPLAIN. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING A JEEP PATRIOT.

INVOLVED IN REAR END COLLISION 11/16/18. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN HIT FROM THE REAR AT 20-30 MPH. ACTIVE HEADREST SYSTEM DEPLOYED ON THE DRIVERS SEAT BUT FAILED TO DEPLOY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATED SHOWING A DEPLOYMENT.

VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE IN OPERATION AND THE MOTOR WILL COMPLETELY STOP AND THE STEERING WILL LOCK-UP. A SENSOR IS BEING TRIGGERED REFERRED TO AS A "CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR". WAS TOLD THAT THIS SENSOR NEEDED BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE WIRING HARNESS THAT GOES TO THE SENSOR. JEEP IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS SEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IS PLACING THE LABOR AND COST OF REPAIR ON ME THE "CONSUMER". THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME HISTORY OF THIS HAPPENING WITH OTHER VARIOUS YEARS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE AND THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE WAS BEING DIAGNOSED FOR 10 HOURS AND STILL WASN'T REPAIRED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IDLE AND RANDOMLY WON'T START ON OCCASION. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND AFFECTS THE RPMS, WHICH BOUNCE FROM AROUND 4,000 TO 2,000 AND THE OVERALL FUEL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE BEEN GETTING HORRIBLE FUEL MILEAGE BECAUSE OF THIS. IT ALSO HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FACTORY INSTALLED AUTO-START, WHICH WON'T WORK BECAUSE OF THESE NON-FUNCTIONING SENSORS.

WHILE TRAVELING GOING DOWN THE ROAD UNDER VERY COMMON CONDITIONS AS FAR AS SMOOTHNESS OF ROAD, THE PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED ALL OF A SUDDEN. I UNDERSTAND FROM READING ONLINE ARTICLES ABOUT THIS PART, THIS IS TO HAPPEN DURING AN ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, I ALSO READ THAT MANY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH HEADREST DEPLOYING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING SITUATIONS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN IN THE DRIVERS SEAT.

DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, CAR WAS UNDER BRAKING, WHEN A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, FREQUENT POPPING/ BANGING WAS HEARD FROM THE FRONT END. AFTER JACKING THE CAR UP AND LOOKING FOR THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRONT FRAME CROSSMEMBER SUBFRAME CRADLE HAD RUSTED SEVERELY ENOUGH THAT IT BROKE WHERE THE FONT SUSPENSION CONNECTS TO IT. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE NOW.

HI THERE, I AM EXPERIENCING A STRANGE ISSUE, WHERE MY PATRIOT WILL SHAKE/VIBRATE REALLY BAD WHEN IN DRIVE AND SITTING IDLE (LIKE AT A RED LIGHT WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE). IF I PLACE IT IN PARK, NEUTRAL OR START DRIVING THE HEAVY VIBRATION GOES AWAY.MOTOR MOUNTS OK, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR BEFORE BUT IS BEEN REPLACED. ANYONE ELSE HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE, OR HAVE ANY INSIGHT? I HAVE A 2007 JEEP PATRIOT LIMITED WITH ABOUT 80K

SUB FRAME HAS ROTTED OUT TO THE POINT ITS FALLING APART. YOU CAN LITERALLY START TO HEAR IT CRACKING. THIS IS IN A CAR THAT IS A "GROCERY GETTER" THAT IS STORED IN A GARAGE AT ALL TIMES WITH 73,000 MILES ON IT. VERY UNSAFE AND COULD EASILY KILL SOMEONE.

2011 JEEP PATRIOT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW SEPT 2011. JUST HAD IT IN THE SHOP AS SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT AND CAUSING OUR TIRE TO WEAR UNEVENLY. THEIR INSPECTION FOUND THE SUB FRAME IS NOW ROTTED OUT DUE TO RUST AFTER ONLY 6 YEARS! THIS VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED. THIS IS BULL CRAP. THANK GOD WE NOTICED OURS BEFORE SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC HAPPENED, BUT THIS HAS VERY REAL POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATHS IF THE FRAME WERE TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING. AND THERE ARE TONS AND TONS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS EVERYWHERE ONLINE. CHRYSLER JUST DOESN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH IT. TOTAL BULL CRAP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRENTY THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, AND OF COURSE THEY SAY THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER PARTS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE SUB FRAME THAT ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH ARE NOT COVERED. SO BASICALLY THIS 6 YEAR OLD CAR ISN'T WORTH FIXING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THERE WERE ALSO OTHER SAFETY RECALLS FOR THIS SAME MODEL.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAD A REPAIR DONE TO MY JEEP PATRIOT TWO WEEKS AGO. THE REPAIRS WERE OVER 800$. I HAD TO HAVE THE TWO FRONT CONTROL ARMS, BALL JOINTS, AND TIE RODS REPLACED. AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, I LOST STEERING AND NOW NOT ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE CAR WANTING TO STALL OUT. IT IS AS IF THE GAS IS NOT GETTING TO THE ENGINE. I BEGIN TO LOSE POWER AND STEERING. I GUN THE GAS, BUT IT HESTITATES. THIS IS HUGELY DANGEROUS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE SERVICED IT REGULARLY, AND TO THIS DAY ONLY ABOUT 44K ON IT. THIS IS SCARING ME. MY MECHANIC JUST PUT DRY GAS IN TO PERHAPS ALLEVIATE ANY POSSIBLE WATER IN THE TANK AFTER A RECENT FILL-UP. I HAVE BEEN READING OF MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS TIME FOR A RECALL, FOLKS. HAD I NOT BEEN ON BACK ROADS, I COULD BE DEAD, AS COULD OTHERS. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS ON THE HIGHWAY AND I NEED ACTIONS, AS DO MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED. WE HAVE WAY TOO MANY JEEPS WITH THIS PROBLEM. STEP UP, PLEASE.

TOOK IT TO GET SOME REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE AND WAS TOLD THE SUBFRAME WAS ROTTED AND BE CAREFUL DRIVING. WAS TOLD IT WAS IN A SPOT THAT WAS UNUSUAL PLACE TO RUST OUT AND TO CONTACT CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, THERE IS NOT

GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STALLED. GAVE NO WARNING JUST SHUT OFF. I HAD MY HUSBAND AND 8 MONTH OLD IN THE CAR. THE ENGINE DID START BACK UP.

WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLR STALLS AND DOES NOT MOVE THEN JERKS VERY QUICKLY FLYING MY CAR FORWARD. I WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT 115,000 MILES. JEEP HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THE EARLY CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES AND WILL NOT REPLACE THEM. VERY UNSAFE.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK FULL, THE ENGINE STALLS AND HESITATES FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AFTER FIRST STARTING THE ENGINE BACK UP AFTER THE FILLING OF THE TANK. IT CAUSES MY ENGINE TO COMPLETELY STOP WORKING AND I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I HAVE STALLED OUT IN TRAFFIC CAUSING THE CHANCE FOR AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS AS I TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND BEGIN DRIVING RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE TANK FULL OF GAS.

FAULTY IRREPARABLE CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH GAVE OUT ON ME ON A NOTORIOUSLY HIGH-TRAFFIC FREEWAY. RECURRING ISSUE AMONG JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS. JEEP FINALLY STOPPED USING THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION IN THEIR 2014 MODELS.

REQUESTED A TOTAL OF $5,102.35 FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS FOR A WELL-DOCUMENTED FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH STARTED FAILING AFTER AROUND 90K MILES, DESPITE TAKING EXCELLENT CARE OF THE VEHICLE.

MY JEEP PATRIOT 2011, WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY FINE, I STARTED IT UP ONE SATURDAY AFTERNOON 2 WEEKS 1 DAY AGO, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET 15 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE, THE JEEP IMMEDIATELY STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND THE OTHER ONE WITH SQUIGGLY LINES AND BRACKETS WITH AN EXCLAMATION MARK, CAME ON 30 SECONDS AFTER IT JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING. I HAD TO CAUTIOUSLY TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, AND I TURNED OFF THE CAR. I LOOKED AT THE MANUAL, AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE WRONG. I THEN LOOKED AT GOOGLE, AND SAW THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, AND TRIED TO DRIVE IT, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND WOULD ONLY GO APPROXIMATELY 5KM/H AT BEST. SO I HAD TO HAVE A TOW TRUCK COME PICK UP MY JEEP AND TAKE IT TO A SHOP. I HAVE NOW HAD 3 SHOPS TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THE FIRST SHOP REPLACED THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE), AND SAID IT WOULD FIX IT. WHEN THE PART CAME IN AND IT WAS PUT INTO THE JEEP. IT DIDN'T FIX IT. SAME ISSUES, ABSOLITELY NO HELP. THEY TOOK ANOTHER LOOK AT IT, AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. COSTING ME 1000.00 FOR THE PART, AND THEIR LABOUR. THEN I TOWED IT TO 2 OTHER SHOPS. THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WAS WRONG WITH IT EITHER. COSTING ME 500$ AT BOTH PLACES WITH NO HELP, AND MY JEEP STILL CURRENTLY WILL NOT RUN!!! I AM WITHOUT A CAR. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 80,000 KM ON IT!!! AND I STILL OWE 3.5 YEARS WORTH OF PAYMENTS ON IT! BUT IT CANNOT BE FIXED!!!??? NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT!!! NOT EVEN A JEEP/DODGE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICES CENTER!!!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE DIED WHILE I WAS TRAVELING AT 75MPH. PRIOR TO THE ENGINE DYING THERE WEREN'T ANY ISSUES. IT SIMPLY STOPPED RUNNING AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. ONCE STOPPED I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTARTED WITHOUT AN ISSUE. THEN THE ENGINE DIED A SECOND TIME AS I WAS MERGING WITH TRAFFIC. AFTER I PULLED OVER AGAIN I WENT THROUGH THE START UP PROCESS AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO WORK. WHILE OUT AT LUNCH THE ENGINE DIED AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THIS ISSUE JUST STARTED TODAY AND IT HAS ME HESITANT TO DRIVE, BUT THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. I PLAN TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW, BUT I'VE BEEN READING OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP TELLING THEM THAT THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. SO I'M TRYING NOT TO GET MY HOPES UP.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A RE-OCCURRING ISSUE WHERE AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL STALL SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MAY 6, 2018 AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND LETTING THE PUMP'S AUTO-SHUTOFF STOP FUELING. LEAVING THE GAS STATION I PULLED OUT INTO A HIGH-SPEED 4 LANE ROAD AND AS I ACCELERATED THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. AS A RESULT OF THE STALL I IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING ABILITY AND WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY CARS BEHIND ME AS WE ALL EXPECTED ME TO BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE UP TO CRUISING SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE ENGINE. AFTER THIS INITIAL STALL, THE CAR RAN NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, WITH EACH ENGINE STALL OCCURRING SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING. THE IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY.

I FILLED MY GAS TANK UP TODAY. AS I GOT ABOUT 3 MILES FROM THE GAS STATION THE CAR BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND LOSE ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE EFFICIENTLY THROUGH ALL THE GEARS. THE CAR WAS RUNNING ROUGH FOR ABOUT 15 MILES UNTIL I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, AND BEGAN MAKING A WEIRD SOUND OUT OF THE EXHAUST, STILL IDLING ROUGH WHEN PARKED. I LOOKED INTO IT ONLINE AND MANY JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING OF SIMILAR ISSUES AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. THEY;RE SAYING IT'S AN ISSUE WITH A "FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE" OR A "VAPOR LIQUID SEPARATING VALVE." EITHER WAY THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL OF THE VEHICLES TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THEIR OPERATORS IN THE FUTURE.

CAR ENGINE CUTS OUT WHILE STATIONARY OR TRYING TO START MOVING. STEERING WHEEL AND SHIFTER LOCKS UP. THEN TYPICALLY RESTARTS RIGHT AWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THENS COMES ON, BUT NOTHING SHOWS UP WHEN RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS. VERY SCARED THIS WILL HAPPEN TO ME WHILE GOING 70 ON A HIGHWAY. I COULD EASILY BE HIT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THIS TYPE OF CAR.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A FAULTED ON THE HIGHWAY. UNABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND SPEED DIDN'T GO ABOVE 40 MPH. ENGINE SHUT OFF DURING THE EVENT AS WELL.

I AM MAKING A COMPLIANT TO YOUR COMPANY ABOUT MY AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELT PRETENSION. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2017 AND WENT ONLINE TO FIND OUT HOW AND WHERE TO GET THE RECALL ISSUE HANDLED. WHILE ONLINE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO CORRECT MY SEATBELT AND AIRBAG PROBLEM WAS NOT IN. I APPLIED TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL TO INFORM ME OF WHEN THE PART(S) NEEDED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE WOULD BE IN. I WAS GIVEN A REFERENCE NUMBER SINCE 7/24/17 AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING ON GETTING MY CAR REPAIRED. I DRIVE THIS CAR DAILY AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE REPAIRED. MY FEELINGS OF SAFETY OR CONSTANTLY BEEN TESTED AS I HAVE TO TRAVEL DAILY AND THIS IS MY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. I FEEL THAT 6 MONTHS HAS BEEN LONG ENOUGH TO WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE. YOUR COMPANY HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND NO UPDATES HAVE BEEN EMAILED OR SENT TO ME. I BELIEVE THAT FOR SOME REASON I HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED. I AM STILL AWAITING THE PARTS NEEDED WITH A LIST OF AVAILABLE DATES TO GET SERVICED IN MY COMMUNITY. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HOW THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN HANDLED. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD ANY SERIOUS ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I FEEL THAT YOU AS A COMPANY HAS NEGLECTED TO FULFILL YOUR DUTY AND PROVIDE ME WITH THE SAFETY MEASURES DESERVING OF A CONSUMER.

HAD TO REPLACE REAR LINKAGE..2 TIRES WORN PAST USE AS WELL... YEAR AND A HALF LATER..SAME THING...NOT A HAPPY JEEP OWNER.

CVT TRANSMISSION JUMPS OUT OF GEAR, HAS TROUBLE GOING INTO GEAR. JUMPS FROM AUTOMATIC TO MANUAL ON ITS OWN. DOES NOT ALWAYS STAY IN GEAR WHEN SHUT DOWN. TRANSMISSION ULTIMATELY FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL- I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL FLASHING ON WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY FOR A FEW WEEKS, AND NOW IT WON'T GO AWAY. IT CAUSES ME TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO SHIFT MY VEHICLE HIGHER THAN 3RD GEAR, AND I CAN'T ACCELERATE AT AN APPROPRIATE SPEED. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN I START MY VEHICLE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND IT CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER FOR ACCELERATION, PUTTING MY SON AND I IN A POTENTIAL SITUATION FOR A HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL , I LEAVE IN PUERTO RICO AND I DON'T HAVE OPTION IN PUERTO RICO TO REPLACE THIS ASUMPTION OF THE RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER OF THIS RECALL YESTERDAY.

2011 JEEP PATRIOT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS FOR FAILED HEADLIGHT CONNECTORS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE BULB NEEDED TO BE REPLACED 30 DAYS AFTER THEY WERE INSTALLED. THE FOG LIGHTS WOULD TURN AND OFF AS THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED. UPDATED 10/24/2017*JS THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. *JS

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2017 AND JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I WAS PUSHING THE GAS AND WAS STILL DECREASING IN SPEED. MY JEEP STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. A POLICE OFFICER AND THE FIREFIGHTER HAD TO PUSH MY VEHICLE OUT OF THE ROAD SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT. I WAS A SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR ME. THANK GOD MY GIRLS WASN'T IN THE CAR BUT MY SISTER AND NIECE WERE SO THIS ISSUE NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. MY JEEP IS CURRENTLY PARKED IN MY YARD

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER ON MY JEEP AND WENT DOWN TO MY LITHIA JEEP OF RENO TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I WAS TOLD I COULD NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT THIS TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE ONLY DOING 10 RECALLS A MONTH, AND THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST 100 PERSONS AHEAD OF ME. LITHIA JEEP OF RENO IS THE ONLY JEEP DEALERSHIP IN TOWN! I EXPRESSED SHOCKED THAT I WAS TO WAIT OVER 10 MONTHS ON A RECALL PART, AND THE SERVICE EMPLOYEE JUST SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS. THIS IS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE!

NUMERIOUS CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE / OVERHEAT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, VERY UNSAFE DUE TO DECELERATION. STARTED IN AUG 2016 AND HAPPENS MONTHLY ANYTIME MORE THAN 45 MINUTES OF DRIVING.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR STALL ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH SPEED AND ALSO AT LOW SPEED AT LEAST 7 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. I HAVE CONTACTED A JEEP DEALER AND ALSO JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY WILL NOT FIX UNDER A RECALL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM A LOT AND IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES TO SEVERAL PEOPLE.

2ND TIME MY TRANSMISSION STALL WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE DUE TO TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING LIGHT COMES ON AND VEHICLE WILL STALL AND NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40 MPH. I HAD TO MOVE OVER THREE LANES TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF I15 N WITH VEHICLES COMING UP TO 70 MPH. HAPPY TO BE ALIVE AND THAT I WAS NOT HIT. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS ISSUE HAPPENS TO ME AND IT SEEMS LIKE JEEP IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILL TO FIX THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. CHRYSLER/ JEEP KNOW THAT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND DO NOT CARE TO FIX IT. TOOK IT BOTH TIMES TO DEALER AND "IS NOTHING" IS WHAT I AM TOLD EVERY TIME "IS A FLUKE IN A CODE" "JUST PULL OVER AND LET IT COOL EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS" AND WELL "WE DON'T HAVE A FIX FOR IT". THEY ONLY RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE FLUID BUT DID NOT WARRANTY THIS WILL FIX PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE KEEP ON COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. AND, WELL NISSAN WHO USES THE JATCO CVT IS FIXING BEARING IN THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION COOLERS AND FIXING THE ISSUE. JEEP/ CHRYSLER JUST DOES NOT CARE ABOUT IT CUSTOMERS AND TELL US "IS NOTHING" NEVER EVER BUYING A JEEP AND/ OR CHRYSLER IN LIFE! WILL GLADLY TRADE-IN SOON AS I AM NOT WILLING TO PUT MY LIFE AT RISK GETTING HIT ON AN INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH BY ANOTHER CAR. WHAT WOULD I TELL THEM SORRY I AM DRIVING 30 - 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY BUT MY CVT TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND IT STALL ON ME. NO THANK YOU!!!!

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5X NOW WITH NO WARNING. TODAY I WAS TRAVELING APPROX. 70 MPH - THE ENGINE TURNS OFF BY ITSELF. HAD TO WAIT 90 MINUTES FOR A TOW IN 94 DEGREE WEATHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED BOILING HOT WATER COMING FROM A CLOGGED AIR CONDITIONING DRAIN TUBE, WHICH OVERFLOWED BETWEEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE FIREWALL. IN ADDITION, WATER DRIPPED DOWN ONTO THE LEG OF THE DRIVER AND CAUSED A BURN. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CLOGGED AIR CONDITIONING DRAIN TUBE CAUSED WATER TO IMMERSE TO THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE FLOORBOARD, WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION MODULE TO BECOME WATER LOGGED AND FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. REPLACED LEFT CONTROL ARM IN 2015, REPLACED RIGHT CONTROL ARM IN 2016, REPLACING BOTH CONTROL ARMS AGAIN. DEALER WANTS $750 FOR EACH CONTROL ARM THEY REPLACE. RUINED TWO FRONT TIRES (WHICH LUCKILY DIDN'T BURST ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY), RUINED SECOND SET OF FRONT TIRES. AGAIN, TIRES WERE BRAND NEW IN 2015 DUE TO THE LEFT CONTROL ARM, HAVE REPLACED 4 TIRES SINCE THEN DUE TO THE FRONT CONTROL ARMS. CHRYSLER WON'T DO ANYTHING. THERE ARE A MILLION COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE PATRIOT MODEL ONLINE. JEEP DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER AND TWO MECHANICS TOLD ME IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. LOOKING AT $750-$1500 A YEAR (NOT TO MENTION THE COST OF NEW TIRES) TO CORRECT. SILLY. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN 4X4 OR OFF ROAD. HAS 74K MILES ON IT AND IS 6 YEARS OLD. GIVEN THAT THE TIRES HAVE STEEL POKING THROUGH W/IN A YEARS TIME DUE TO THE CONTROL ARM, THIS IS DANGEROUS!

ON MAY 18TH 2017 MY DAUGHTER HAD A CRASH THAT RESULTED IN HER DEATH WHILE DRIVING HER 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. SHE RAN OF OF A FM ROAD, JUMPED A SMALL DRAINAGE CULVERT ON A DOWNGRADE. CONTINUED STRAIGHT AND HIT ANOTHER DRAINAGE CULVERT A LITTLE LARGER WITH CEMENT AROUND IT ON AN UPGRADE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE. ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CULVERT WAS A STOP SIGN AT AN INTERSECTION. THE STOP SIDE BROKE OFF DAMAGING THE WINDSHIELD AND ROOF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEN THE VEHICLE CONTINUED INTO A PRIVATE YARD WHERE THE JEEP CAME TO REST. THE JEEP HAS A STANDARD TRANSMISSION AND WAS FOUND IN 5TH GEAR. A PARAMETRIC LIVED CLOSE BY AND ATTENDED TO HER RIGHT AWAY BUT WAS UNABLE TO REVIVE HER. THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS BOTH DEPLOYED AND HER SEAT BELT LOCKED ALTHOUGH WHEN THE SEAT BELT LOCKED IS NOT KNOWN. THE FRONT AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

ON A ROAD TRIP THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS NOT HOT OUTSIDE AND THE ENGINE TEMPERATE GAUGE DID NOT INDICATE OVERHEATING. AS SOON AS THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND STALL. IT WAS VERY SCARY AS WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH VEHICLES TRAVELING 70 MPH OR MORE. WE COULD OF BEEN HIT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I FEEL JEEP/ CHRYSLER SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS SINCE MY PASSENGER AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 72,000 MILES AND THIS IS ALREADY THE SECOND TIMES IT DOES THIS AND ALSO THE ACTUATORS ARE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. I AM AT THE POINT OF JUST CONSIDERING A TRADE IN AND DODGING ALL THESE ISSUES WITH A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 75K ON IT. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD DO AT 100,000 MILES.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LAST FALL IN A PRIVATE SALE. THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER ACQUIRING THIS VEHICLE, I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE ON A 50 MINUTE TRIP AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN DESPITE BEING ON CRUISE CONTROL. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I WAITED FOR 10 MINUTES AND BEGAIN DRIVING AGAIN. SINCE THIS INCIDENT IN THE FALL OF 2016, THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10-15 TIMES-INCLUDING TODAY, A RAINY 70 DEGREE DAY DRIVING THE NEARLY FLAT ROUTE FROM LINCOLN TO OMAHA NEBRASKA. I UNDERSTAND JEEP HAS COME FORWARD TO SAY THIS IS NOT A MOUNTAIN TRAVELING VEHICLE (VERY STRANGE JEEP BECAUSE, WELL IT'S A TRAIL RATED JEEP AFTER ALL). NOT ONLY IS THIS A NUISANCE THAT I CANNOT DRIVE MY WORK ROUTE FOR 45 MINUTES WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD AT LEAST ONCE BUT EVERYTIME I DO, IT PUTS ME IN A LIFE JEOPARDIZING SITUATION ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 75MPH. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY JEEP. I KNOW OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES BECAUSE GOOGLE WAS ABLE TO GUESS THE PROBLEM AFTER TYPING ONLY THE WORDS "2011 JEEP PATRIOT." PLEASE ADDRESS THE PROBLEM, JEEP, AND MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR EVERYONE WHO CONTINUES TO INVEST AND SUPPORT YOUR (TYPICALLY) WONDERFUL PRODUCTS.

FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY NOT START. IT WILL EVENTUALLY START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. IT ACTS LIKE ITS NOT GETTING FUEL ANT THE "ETC" WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. RECENTLY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT 60 MPH AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS. SHE WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED AND DRIVE HOME. I HAVE HAD IT AT THE MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE STARTING ISSUE OR STALE ISSUE. REPLACED RELAYS AFTER READING THAT THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH RELAY BOX DUE TO CORROSION AND PLACEMENT OF RELAYS IN WHEEL WELL BUT THIS DIDN'T HELP. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS COMPUTER / ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. I HAVE READ DOZENS OF POSTS ABOUT VERY SIMILAR ISSUE AND UNFORTUNATELY FOUND THAT THERE IS NO FIX FROM DEALERS AND NO INFORMATION ABOUT POSSIBLE CAUSES. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THE STALING ISSUE SINCE IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. PLEASE HELP.

TAKATA RECALL ITS BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE MY CAR HAS BEEN REPORTED THE ONLY INFORMATION THAT THE I GET FROM JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE RAM FIAT OF ONTARIO IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART THE CAR IS DRIVEN DAILY FOR WORK THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS SELLING DANGERS CARS SHOULD GET YOU SHUT DOWN

TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS WITHOUT WARNING UNTIL IT ALREADY HAS HAPPENED. TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND MAKES NOISE. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CODES DEALERS CANNOT PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE.. WHILE ON THE FREEWAY CAR WILL OVERHEAT AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN LEAVING YPU AT RISK OF POSSIBLE COLLISIONS. ALWAYS TOLD IT NEEDS A TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THESE FLUSHES ARE ALREADY EXPENSIVE BUT DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM ON HOT DAYS (I LIVE IN ARIZONA) ITS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO OVERHEATING AND SHUTTING

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) REPLACED THREE TIMES BY A CERTIFIED JEEP DEALER. THE FAULTY TCM CAUSES THE JEEP TO BARELY START OR TO SUDDENLY CAUSE THE JEEP TO LOSE POWER IF DRIVING AND ONLY GO ABOUT 5 MPH IN REVERSE OR FIRST GEAR. ALSO, THE TRACTION CONTROL, TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WERE ON. THE TCM HAS FAILED ONCE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND TWICE WHEN MOVING. IT TAKES AT LEAST A WEEK FOR THE DEALER TO ORDER AND INSTALL A REPLACEMENT TCM, LEAVING ME WITHOUT MY JEEP AND CAUSING ME TO LOSE ANY CONFIDENCE IN MY VEHICLE. I COMPLAINED TO BOTH CARMAX, WHERE I BOUGHT THE JEEP; AND TO CHRYSLER JEEP, WHICH HOLDS THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY. BOTH COMPLAINTS WERE REBUFFED AS NOT BEING VALID. I TRIED TO UPLOAD MY DOCUMENTATION BUT COULDN'T. I CAN SEND IT TO YOU VIA EMAIL OR FAX. THE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN DATE WAS THE 4TH TIME I HAD TCM PROBELMS

WATER WAS FOUND LEAKING FROM THE OVERHEAD READING LAMPS AND DOWN ONTO THE DASH/RADIO. IT HAS STAINED THE HEADLINER AND LEAVES POTENTIAL FOR OTHER WATER DAMAGE AND MOLD.

SUNROOF LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS. I'VE HAD IT IN FOR REPAIR AT LEAST 4 TIMES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AND WE WERE IN A DROUGHT, SO IT TOOK ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE WE HAD SIGNIFICANT RAIN. WHEN IT RAINS A MODERATE AMOUNT, WATER POURS OUT OF THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS AND SIDE PANELS AND SOAKS THE FLOOR BOARDS AND FRONT CONSOLE. THE MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE BY RUNNING WATER ON THE SUNROOF AND/OR RUNNING THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE CARWASH, SO THEY'VE BEEN UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT JEEP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. I ALREADY HAVE SIGNIFICANT WATER STAINS ON THE INTERIOR ROOF OF THE CAR, AND IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT SHORTS OUT THE ELECTRONICS. STEP UP AND FIX THE KNOWN DEFECT, JEEP!!

MY VEHICLE HAD A SAFETY RECALL IN SEPTEMBER 2016. I REGISTERED FOR THIS RECALL AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING

THE JEEP STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY TWO SEPARATE TIMES. WE WERE TRAVELING 65 MPH AND LOST ALL POWER FROM ENGINE. WE WERE FORTUNATELY ABLE TO PULL INTO BREAK DOWN LANE. JEEP WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AFTER EACH EPISODE, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS. COMPLAINT FILED WITH JEEP. JEEP SITS IN DRIVEWAY, AFRAID TO USE IT..NOT GOOD!!!

THE STEERING WHEEL CONSTANTLY NEEDS TO BE HELD AT AN ANGLE FOR THE VEHICLE TO GO STRAIGHT. I'VE TAKEN THE JEEP TO THE SHOP THREE TIMES AND THE PROBLEM ALWAYS COMES BACK.

SAFETY RECALL S61- TO REPLACE ORC. IN MY VEHICLE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN INSPECTED AND THE MODULE HAS INTERNALLY FAILED. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY DRIVING MY VEHICLE WITH MY CHILD, KNOWING ALREADY THAT MY AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER HAS NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL COME IN AND SO WE JUST HAVE TO "HOPE" I DO NOT GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT PRIOR TO THEN ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER. *TR

I WAS NOT NOTIFIED THAT MY PATRIOT WAS UNDER A MAJOR SAFETY RECALL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP. AND WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. I FINALLY WAS PUT INTO A RENTAL THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR ( I HAD TO PAY THE FIRST WEEK BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT AT FIRST) AND AS OF NOW MY CAR IS SITTING IN MY GARAGE WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS, BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION AND BRAND NEW TIRES. THERE IS NO FIX AND I HAVE BEEN IN A RENTAL FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. I FEEL THIS RECALL IS BIGGER THEN THEY ARE LEADING ON AND THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A FIX. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS CARE FOR OVER THREE YEARS WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM NOT WORKING TERRIFIES ME. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS. I AM AT A LOSS OF WORDS. SIDE NOT: MY DRIVERS AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONED A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT. THIS WAS BEFORE THE RECALL AND IF I DID NOT PURCHASE A WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BOTH THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND ELECTRON THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AND I LOSE ACCELERATION. HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, WAIT A MINUTE OR 2 AND RESTART. SOMETIMES THIS WILL HAPPEN 2-6 TIMES DURING A TRIP (DEPENDING HOW FAR I AM DRIVING) OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AT ALL. I CAN DRIVE CAR FOR 2-3 WEEKS WITH NO PROBLEMS THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THESE TWO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AGAIN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY FOR FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAS ONLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHEN I START THE CAR. THE CAR WILL START IDLING VERY FAST

VEHICLE HAS 79K MILES. I STARTED MY CAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WITH NO ISSUES AND SUDDENLY THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AS IF THERE'S NO POWER. ALMOST GOT HIT BECAUSE I COULD NOT SPEED UP. PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE INTERNET FOR ISSUES. GOOGLED JEEP PATRIOT TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND VEHICLE SLOWING TO 20-30 MPH. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE OF SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER -- ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS! THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED OUT OF FOURTH GEAR INTO NEUTRAL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING.

I OWN A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALREADY GONE OUT! IT HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY. NO WARNING, NOTHING. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HEARD A LOUD WINDING NOISE. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE, BUT FOR ONLY A MILE OR SO. THEN NO ACCELERATION AND I COULD NOT REVERSE. THE CAR HAS 160K MILES.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING & ENGINE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK, THE IGNITION HAD TO BE RESTARTED & PUT BACK INTO DRIVE. AFTER THAT HAPPENED, THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS ON & PROJECTING A SMOKEY SMELL INTO THE CAR. ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WAS THE CAR WAS SHAKING & BRAKES WERE HARD TO PUSH ON WHILE STEERING WAS HARD AS I WAS TURNING ONTO A STREET FROM THE FREEWAY EXIT. WHILE IN MOTION, THE CAR WILL DING AS IT IS TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT OR PULLING TO A STOP. AS THE CAR WAS TURNING RIGHT, THE STEERING LOCKED & I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. I ROLLED TO A STOP AT THE SIDE OF THE RODE & THE BRAKES WERE HARD TO PUSH ON. THESE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE WITH THE CAR. THIS CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES. THAT'S ABOUT 10,000 MILES PER YEAR.

WHILE TRAVELING ON A FREEWAY MY INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP AND MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. WHEN I LOOKED UP THE PANEL LIGHT MEANINGS IN THE MANUAL, I DETERMINED IT WAS SAFE TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER WAITING FOR A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACKNOWLEDGED THE CAR PROBLEM BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. AT THE TIME. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM A FEW OTHER TIMES, MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AGAIN, SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING FOR 40-60 MINUTES APPROX. 70-75 MPH. AFTER COASTING THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD... THE DEALER ADVISED ME THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, IT RANDOMLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V120000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,200.

EVERYTIME I REFUEL MY VEHICLE, THE ENGINE STALLS AT LEAST TWICE UNTIL THE FUEL NEEDLE IS BELOW THE FUEL MARK. I DON'T OVERFILL MY VEHICLE, SO I WONDER WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!

THE FRONT K-MEMBER ON MY JEEP PATRIOT HAS A COMPLETE RUST THRU HOLE THAT COMPRISES THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY REFUSE TO COVER THIS EVEN THOU THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR OLDER JEEP PATRIOTS TO COVER THIS PROBLEM. ALL JEEP PATRIOTS FROM 2007 THRU 2015 HAVE THE SAME FRONT K-MEMBER PART NUMBER AND YET THEY REFUSE TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE.

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON A COOL FALL DAY MY TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER SITTING FOR 20 MINUTES I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. THE SAME INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IS COMMON AND THE JEEP PATRIOT WASN'T MADE TO GO ON LONG TRIPS. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR ANY VEHICLE AND I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT FIXED AND NOW MY WARRANTY IS UP.

MY PATRIOT WITH 108K MILES STALLED AT 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY 3X LAST NIGHT ON A 3 HOUR DRIVE. IT ALSO STALLED 4X TIMES TODAY ON MY 10 MIN WAY TO DROP IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE WHILE IDLING AND 3X WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. ONCE WHILE I WAS TURNING. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING QUITE A BIT TO 2011 JEEP PATRIOTS AND EVEN CAUSED A CAR TO BE TOTALLED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS.

MY 2011 JEEP PATRIOT WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MID NOVEMBER 2010. IT HAS 42,972 MILES ON IT. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES, ONE WAS WORN CLEAR DOWN ON THE INSIDE. THE TIRE SUPPLIER SAID I NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT. WHEN I WENT IN TO GET AN ALIGNMENT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO ONE BECAUSE MY BALL JOINTS NEEDED REPLACED.

IT IS BAD ENOUGH THAT I WAS TOLD NOT TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN WHICH IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER 13 DAYS! PLEASE TELL ME HOW THIS IS NORMAL WEAR & TEAR ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND HAS NEVER HAD THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ENGAGED LONGER THAN TO JUST PULL OUT OF SLICK SPOT? PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT AND RECALL THE JEEPS THAT ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE!

VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AFTER RUNNING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THISE WOULD HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED.

I WAS EXCALLERATING FROM A STOP AT A RED LIGHT THAT HAD JUST TURNED GREEN WHEN HALF WAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION MY JEEP STAULED. THE TWO VEHICLES BEHIND ME REAR ENDED EACH OTHER. I SLOWLY ROLLED TO MY RIGHT . THE ETC (LIGHTING BOLT SYMBOL) AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I REPEATED THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO START AND DRIVE A FEW FEET AT A TIME AND REMOVE BATTERY TERMINALS AND CLEAN THEM. THE RPM WOULD DROP VERY FAST AND ENGINE WOULD CUT OUT WHILE IN MOTION . THIS WAS ON VERY BUSY RURAL STREETS. IT SEEM TO HAPPEN DURING ECCELERATION. I MANAGED THE TO MAKE IT HOME BY DRIVING VERY SLOW AND TRYING TO KEEP RPMS AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. AT TIMES THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START UNTIL I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY THEN RECONNECTED. HAVE A NEW BATTERY, PCV VALVE, AND SAME ISSUES. I BELIEVE THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLIES ON THESE VEHICLES ARE FAULTY AND SUFFER FROM ENGINEERING DESIGN AND WEAK INTERNAL PARTS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE WILL START TO WHINE AND THEN LOSE POWER. SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WILL COME ON AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. HAD TO PULL OVER 10 TIMES DURING A TRIP THAT WAS 141 MILES . ONLY 2 OCCUPANTS IN THE CAR WITH NO BAGGAGE OR TOWING. DEFINITELY WAS NOT OVERLOADED AND SPEEDS WERE AROUND 65 MPH THE ENTIRE TRIP. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR ANYMORE AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY TRAVEL CAR!

TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO GET A WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END CHECKED. WAS TOLD BY TECHNICIAN THAT THE BALL JOINTS ON BOTH SIDE ARE WORN OUT. HE SAID IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO POOR QUALITY COMPONENTS. FROM READING COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE. IT IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE CONTACTED AN ATTORNEY AND WILL PROCEED. *JS

AT IDLE AND WHILE DRIVING, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) LIGHT BLINKS INTERMITTENTLY AND I LOSE POWER. AFTER ABOUT 4 DAYS OF THIS HAPPENING, NOT ONLY DID THE ETC LIGHT COME ON, BUT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE 4X4 LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHTS, AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE JEEP RAN REALLY ROUGH AT IDLE. I TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED JEEP DEALER TO BE TOLD THAT I NEED THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED FOR $591. THE MILEAGE ON MY JEEP IS APPROXIMATELY 51,000.

THE TRANSMISSION FREQUENTLY OVERHEATS ON TRIPS OVER 1 HOURS OR WHERE HIGHWAY SPEED LIMITS ARE HIGHER THAN 70 MPH. THERE IS A FIELD FOR THE DATE OF WHEN THIS HAPPENED BELOW; HOWEVER, IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD AND LET IT SET FOR ABOUT 15 TO 20 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN CONTINUE THE TRIP.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE JUST DIES FOR NO REASON. AFTER A WHILE IT STARTS BACK UP WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE TIME I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC. A COUPLE DAYS AGO IT STALLED WHILE ON THE FWY WITH MY 3 YR OLD SON ALMOST RESULTING IN DISASTER. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ABOUT 6 MONTHS.

"DEATH WOBBLE". I EXPERIENCED THIS ON A SHORT TWO HOUR TRIP WHERE I COULDN'T CONTROL THE CARD. EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP OR TIRED TO TURN THE CAR WAS HARD TO STEER. THIS JEEP HAS ON 40K ON IT AND IS 4 YEARS OLD. I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY AND GENUINELY FEARED FOR MY LIFE. I WAS OVER HALFWAY TO MY DESTINATION SO I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TOOK THE BACK ROADS WITH MY HAZARDS ON AND WENT SLOW. THE FACT THAT JEEP IS UNWILLING TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS UPSETTING. BUT WHAT IS MORE UPSETTING IS HOW THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH REGARDS TO THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND NOT JUST WITH THE PATRIOT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. I HAVE NO FAITH IN THE COMPANY NOW AND DO NOT TRUST THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY TO THE MAIN ROAD THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY INDICATOR AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON THEN WENT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE ROAD TO GET ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR WENT TO A LIMP MODE. I HAD NO THROTTLE TO GET ON THE FREEWAY AND LIMPED BACK HOME. OUR MECHANIC COULD NOT GET THE SCANNER TO DUPLICATE THE LIGHTS.. SINCE THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE, HE RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY PART #4891735AC DUE TO HIGH RATE FAILURE AT A COST OF $533 PARTS AND LABOR TO US. AFTER READING OF MANY COMPLAINTS WE FEEL THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE SAFETY OF OCCUPANTS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY DEPENDABLE UP UNTIL NOW, MY 3RD YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. THE CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL AND HAS NEVER SHOWN ANY INDICATION OF PROBLEMS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY A FEW WEEKS AGO GOING ABOUT 65MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DIED IN TRAFFIC. ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE WAS COASTING. I TRIED TO MOVE OVER AS I WAS IN THE FAST LANE WITH NO SHOULDER AVAILABLE DUE TO ROAD WORK. I GOT OVER TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE BUT THERE WAS ALSO NO SHOULDER THERE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO DUCK INTO A WORK AREA THAT HAD A SMALL OPENING(I TOOK OUT A COUPLE CONES THOUGH). AS I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE ONCE IN THE CLOSED WORK AREA OFF THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY I LOST POWER STEERING AND THE ABILITY TO BRAKE. THE CAR WOULD START AGAIN BUT NOT ACCELERATE AND WOULD DIE AGAIN WHEN I TRIED. WE LEFT THE CAR AND CAME BACK 2 HOURS LATER WITH THE SAME ISSUES. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR 3-4 HOURS IT RAN PERFECTLY FINE. TWO DAYS LATER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS GOING ANYWHERE FROM 25-40MPH. I HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT AND IT DID NOT PUT OUT ANY CODES THUS THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO HELP ME. I TOOK THE CAR HOME AGAIN BUT NOW EVERY SINGLE TIME THE CAR RUNS LONG ENOUGH TO REACH NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE IT DIES WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD! THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON BEFOREHAND, AND AFTER THE CAR HAS DIED IT SOMETIMES WILL FLASH THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT OR ALL OF THE LIGHTS WILL BRIEFLY FLASH AND THEN GO OFF. MY CAR IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT I BELIEVE THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND I EVEN SAW AN INVESTIGATION OPENED IN 2012. WHAT WERE THE RESULTS OF THAT INVESTIGATION? I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND THEM ANYWHERE PROBABLY INDICATING THAT NOTHING EVER CAME OF IT. I WILL BE CONTACTING JEEP AS WELL AS CARMAX WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING AND I WAS COMING TO A STOP WHEN MY SERIOUS XM RADIO CUT OUT, THE NEXT THING THAT WENT OUT WAS MY DASH LIGHT AND MY CAR SURGED AND SHUT OFF. NOTHING WAS WORKING AFTER THAT MY FOUR WAYS DIDNT WORK AND MY CAR WOULDNT TURN OVER OR START MY GEAR SHIFTER WASNT RESPONDING TO ANY SHIFTS AND MY GAS WOULDNT WORK EITHER SO I WAS ROLLING BACKWARD. AFTER ABOUT 10 I UNLOCKED MY DOORS AND EVERYTHING CLICKED BACK ON AND STARTED TO WORK AGAIN.

REAR SUB FRAME THAT ATTACHES TO THE UNI BODY RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH AT A CROSS MEMBER. THIS SUB FRAME IS WHAT MOUNTS THE ENTIRE REAR SUSPENSION AND DRIVE LINE TO THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AUG. 2011 AND HAS 98.000MILES ON IT. ALSO HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH WHEEL BEARINGS. NOT INCLUDING THE FACTORY SET, WE HAD TO REPLACE THE WHEEL BEARINGS (ALL 4) 3 TIMES. NO ACCIDENTS/INJURIES WERE CAUSED BY THESE BECAUSE THEY WERE REPAIRED PRIOR TO THEM GETTING TO BAD. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION. SUBSTANDARD STEEL FOR CROSS MEMBERS AND WHEEL BEARING ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES ARE KNOWN AT CHRYSLER/JEEP, WHEN I ORDERED THE WHEEL BEARINGS STAFF WORKING PARTS COUNTER JOKED ABOUT ANOTHER ONE SOLD. WHEN I CALLED THE SALESMEN ABOUT THE CROSS MEMBER ISSUE I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS KNOWN AND THEY REPLACED SEVERAL RECENTLY AT OWNERS EXPENSE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE RECALL/WARRANTY EXTENSION WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN, SO KEEP MY RECEIPT FOR REIMBURSEMENT PURPOSES. THERE ARE ALSO NUMEROUS FACTORY RECALLS OR WARRANTY EXTENSIONS ON CHRYSLER/JEEP PRODUCTS DO TO THESE ISSUES.

I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD MY FRONT LOWER BALL JOINTS ARE BAD AND IF NOT REPLACED I COULD NOT HAVE MY STATE INSPECTION DONE. I ONLY HAVE 16, 499 MILES ON MY JEEP. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. I HAVE READ THAT THE OEM PARTS ARE ALL DEFECTIVE. I WANT CHRYSLER TO HELP PAY THE COSTS. I WAS QUOTED AROUND $675 WITH LABOR.

WHILE DRIVING UP A LONG HIGHWAY HILL ON A VERY HOT DAY, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING A HIGH PITCHED WHINING SOUND. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO SEE IF I COULD SEE ANYTHING LEAKING ETC. AFTER FINDING NOTHING OBVIOUS I REENTERED TRAFFIC AND IT WAS FINE UNTIL WE HIT THE NEXT HILL, AND THE WHINING STARTED AGAIN. ON THE DOWNSIDE OF THE HILL THE SOUND WENT AWAY. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW COMPLAINTS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING CAUSING THE SAME ISSUE. THE RIDE HOME WAS AT NIGHT AND AFTER I DROPPED OFF MY PASSENGERS AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS. SINCE THAT TIME I'VE NOTICED OCCASIONAL "BUCKING" WHEN DRIVING ON FLAT SMOOTH HIGHWAY. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL DEALER TO CHECK THIS OUT. I EXPLAINED BOTH THE BUCKING AND THE WHINING, BUT THEY DIDN'T SEEM TOO CONCERNED. THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND JEEP IS NOT ADMITTING TO IT. THERE ARE MANY INDICATIONS ONLINE AND ON THIS SITE... I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON WARM DAYS.

I'M LUCKY I WASN'T DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR A FAST ROAD AS MY JEEP JUST DECIDED TO STOP RESPONDING TO THE GAS PEDAL DUE TO A FAULTY TIPM AND SLOWED DOWN TO A CRAWL. THE FLATBED OPERATOR WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE.

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR OUR DAUGHTER WHO TURNED (16) NOV 2014. MOST OF THE DRIVING TOOK PLACE ON LOCAL ROADS WITH SHORT-TERM HIGHWAY MILES..(10-15 MINS). THE FIRST INSTANCE OCCURRED ON JULY 4TH, DRIVING TO RELATIVES FOR A BBQ & FIREWORKS, OUR FAMILY TOOK (2) CARS, MY DAUGHTER HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 40 MINS @ 75MPH, WHEN THE CAR STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE AND THE TEMP LITE APPEARED ON HER DASHBOARD. SHE SAID THE CAR WAS BOGGING DOWN SO SHE PULLED OVER AND CALLED US. SHE WAITED 10 MINS THEN CONTINUED THE ADDITIONAL 15MIN DRIVE WITHOUT ISSUE. WE TOOK THE CAR INTO OUR AUTO REPAIR SHOP, WHERE THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING WAS REPLACED, AS THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE/POWERTRAIN, FLUIDS WERE FINE. TOTAL COST WITH LABOR AND MATERIALS $260.14. THE 2ND INSTANCE OCCURRED ON SEPT 18 (TODAY), DRIVING TO VISIT A FRIEND, MAINLY HIGHWAY MILES, 75-80 MPH. SHE CALLED AFTER (1.5) HOURS, STATING THAT THE TEMP LIGHT APPEARED AND THE CAR WAS MAKING WHINING NOISES. SHE SAID THE CAR WAS NOT REACTING RIGHT AND FELT IT WAS GOING TO STALL. WHEN SHE PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL IT WOULD NOT REACT. SHE PULLED OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION TURNING OFF THE ENGINE FOR ABOUT (10) MINUTES. SHE STARTED THE CAR AND FINISHED THE LAST 1/2 HR OF EXPRESSWAY MILES, STAYING WELL UNDER 70 MPH, WITH NO ISSUES. THE CONCERN IS THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURS DURING HIGHWAY TRAVELING OVER 70 MPH CONSISTANTLY OVER (1) HOUR. POSING A SAFETY RISK OF STALLING OR NOT BOGGING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR WILL BE TAKEN TO COLLEGE IN THE SPRING 2016, 2-3 HOURS AWAY WHERE SHE WILL BE DOING REGULAR HIGHWAY DRIVING AND GETTING TO THE DESTINATION SAFETLY IS ALL THAT MATTERS.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, AT AROUND 55-60 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITH NO POWER TO ACCELERATE FURTHER OR EXIT ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I COASTED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE OFF THE SIDE ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER STOPPING, THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO RESTART RESULTED IN STILL NO ACCELERATION ALTHOUGH ENGINE STARTED. THE SECOND ATTEMPT TO RESTART WAS SUCCESSFUL AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT FULL SPEED TO THE NEXT EXIT. VERY FRIGHTENING. I'VE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE STALL ON THE INTERSTATE BEFORE.

WE BOUGHT CAR IN AUG 2013 WITH 26K ON IT. RIGHT AT ABOUT 30K I STARTED TO HEAR A THUMPING SOUND IN THE FRONT END. TURNS OUT THE BALL JOINTS AND LOWER CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY NEEDED REPLACEMENT. JUST HIT 40K AND THE OTHER SIDE WENT. GLAD I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH I THOUGHT WAS PRICEY AT THE TIME. THIS JEEP IS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. NOT LIKE THE JEEP CHEROKEES FROM THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHICH FAMILY MEMBERS FOUND TO BE DEPENDABLE.

ON THURSDAY AUG. 20, 2015 I STARTED THE JEEP TO HEAD OUT FOR ERRAND DUTIES WHEN IT WOULDN'T START. I TRIED A AGAIN ABOUT TEN MINUTES LATER AND IT STARTED. LATER THAT AFTERNOON I WAS DRIVING ON US1 IN LEVITTOWN, PA WHEN THE JEEP STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PARTIALLY TURN MY CAR TOWARDS A DRIVE THAT LED TO A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT WHEN NO LONGER IT COULD MOVE. THE BACK END OF THE JEEP WAS HINDERING TRAFFIC AND CARS WERE HONKING AWAY BUT I COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR ANY FURTHER. IT JUST STOPPED RIGHT THERE. FORTUNATELY, I FLAGGED DOWN A POLICE OFFICER FROM FALLS TOWNSHIP AND HE CAME RIGHT OVER TO HELP ME WHEN HE NOTICED MY PREDICAMENT. EITHER HE CALLED IN FOR HELP BECAUSE I DISCOVERED ANOTHER POLICE OFFICE DIRECTING TRAFFIC AWAY FROM THE JEEP. WE MANAGED SOMEHOW TO GET THE CAR STARTED AND IT BEGAN TO MOVE. I WAS ASKED TO DRIVE IT TO A PARKING SPACE WHERE A MAINTENANCE MAN, ALONG WITH THE OFFICER TIGHTENED THE BOLTS ON MY BATTERY. THEN I FOLLOWED THE OFFICER TO A SERVICE STATION WHERE ANOTHER MECHANIC TIGHTENED THE BOLTS, TOO. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED I GET TO A SERVICE STATION TO SOLVE WHAT HAPPENED. I TOOK MY JEEP TO MY MECHANIC FOR A SCHEDULED INSPECTION ON AUG.24, IF I'M CORRECT. THE BATTERY PASSED INSPECTION BUT THE EMISSION FAILED THE TEST. NOW I'M DRIVING WITHOUT INSPECTION STICKERS AND PROPER PAPERS FOR THE POLICE IF I SHOULD GET STOPPED. MEANWHILE I CONTACTED REEDMANTOLL IN LANGHORNE, PA TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO GET THIS FIXED. I'M WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. NOW, I'M DEATHLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE JEEP FOR FEAR I'D BE DRIVING AND IT STOPS WHILE DOING SO. I'VE OWNED THIS JEEP FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE ALL OF THIS HAPPENED AND RARELY GO OUT AT ALL DUE TO MY FEAR OF CAUSING A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT INJURING, OR KILLING, INNOCENT PEOPLE.

JEEP PATRIOT 2011 IS STALLING RANDOMLY AT EVERY SPEED LEVEL. RESTARTING SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY POSSIBLE SOMETIMES AFTER A 1 HOUR WAITING PERIOD .

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN (UNDER 40 MPH), LESS THAN HALF A MILE FROM DEPARTURE FROM MY HOUSE, THE ENGINE CUT OUT. LOST ENGINE POWER AND POWER STEERING. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT AND THE OIL TEMP LIGHT BOTH CAME ON. WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR TO A SIDE STREET, TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE, AND THEN BACK ON. UPON TURNING ON WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME TO SWITCH VEHICLES. LESS THAN TWO MONTHS LATER THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED. ENGINE POWER AND POWER STEERING WERE LOST.

GOOD MORNING, I WAS TRAVELING ON MY 2011 JEEP PATRIOT FOR THE FIRST TIME ON OUR WAY FROM SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA TO PEORIA, ARIZONA WHEN ABOUT 100 MILES MY CAR HAD TRANSMISSION OIL HOT WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASH.(WAS NOT PULLING ANYTHING) I PULLED OVER CAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE OWNERS MANUAL SAYS TO DO, I DID EXACTLY WHAT IT INSTRUCTED TO DO. THE LIGHT TURNED OFF, AND I CONTINUED WITH MY TRIP. THIS HAPPENED TWICE, BUT 45 MIN LATER MY ENGINE TURNED OFF WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. I DID NOT GET ANY WARNING ON MY DASH, I JUST COULD NOT SPEED UP. ALL ELECTRICAL WAS STILL WORKING AS IF THE CAR ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I HAD TO STIR THE CAR FROM THE THIRD OUTSIDE LANE TO THE EMERGENCY RIGHT EMERGENCY LANE WITH NO POWER STEERING. ONCE I MANAGED TO DO THAT. MY CAR ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN ON. I HAD TO CALL FOR ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND STAY ON THE 116 DEGREE WEATHER FOR TWO HOURS FOR A TOW TUCK. ONCE ALL THAT HAPPENED, THEY DROPPED THE CAR TO A JEEP DEALER. BUT THE DEALER WAS CLOSED. THE NEXT DAY, THE LOOKED AT THE CAR, AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENED FOR TWO DAYS. I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER WITH NOTHING DONE TO IT. I LOOKED THE PROBLEM UP IN MANY JEEP BLOGS AND IT SEEMS THIS CAR CANT BE USED ON LONG TRIPS CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS. IM IN THE MILITARY AND MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR. I WISH I KNEW THIS WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE DEALER. I'M GOING TO TRADE THIS CAR IN FOR A DIFFERENT MAKE TODAY CAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. HOPE YOU CAN LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AND HELP ALL JEEP PATRIOTS DRIVERS. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN THEM MATTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, A VEHICLE CAME ACROSS FROM THE OPPOSITE LANE AND CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS FAILED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES AND REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WITH THE DIAGNOSES UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHILE MANISTEE TIRE WAS CHECKING THE ALIGNMENT FOLLOWING THE PURCHASE OF NEW TIRES, THE LEFT FRONT BALL-JOINT WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. TIME TO REQUIRE THAT SUSPENSION PARTS BE GREASEABLE.

I AM WRITING TO SEE WHAT RECALLS DO THE SEATBELTS HAVE IN JEEP PATRIOT. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT UNCLICKS ON ITS ON. THIS MATTER IS SERIOUS

SAFETY RECALL N01 / NHTSA 13V-233 REPROGRAM OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE THIS JEEP PATRIOT PASSENGER SEATBELT UNLOCKS ITSELF. WHEN THERE IS PRESSURED APPLIED TO BELT AND IT UNLOCKS. IT SCARES ME BECAUSE AT TIMES I HAVE PASSENGERS SUCH AS MY DAUGHTER AND IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO HER OR ANYONE ELSE THAT IS RIDING IN MY CAR I DONT HAVE A CLUE TO WHAT I WOULD DO.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM LIGHT TURNED ON, THEN THE ANTI-SKID LIGHT TURNED ON, THEN VEHICLE ENGAGED IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE ON ITS ONE. REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL LOCKED UP AND VEHICLE SWERVED TO THE RIGHT OFF THE ROAD.

ON APPROXIMATELY 9/4/2014 WE WERE TRAVELING ON CA HWY 15 IN THE BAKER CA AREA, TEMP WAS APPROX. 95 DEG. AND WE WERE GOING UP HILL. ABOUT HALF WAY UP, THE TRANSMISSION TEMP. LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOOSE POWER AND SLOW DOWN. AS WE PULLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WE CONTINUED TO THE TOP AND STARTED DOWN THE GRADE, ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE VEHICLE RAN NORMAL. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT THE ONLY THING THEY COULD TRY WAS TO REPLACE THE COOLER BYPASS VALVE WHICH THEY DID. ON APPROXIMATELY 6/5/15 AND APPROXIMATELY THE SAME AREA THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED. ON 6/15/15 WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS A CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE A THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO CALLED THE MAIN SERVICE HOTLINE FOR JEEP AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING.

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING TROUBLES STARTING. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO EVEN TURN OVER. THE HORN GOES OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. THE MOON ROOF OPENS AND CLOSES AT RANDOM TIMES. THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK(EVEN AFTER NEW BULBS ARE PUT IN). THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT ALWAYS WORK.

WHILE DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT IS DYING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS COME ON. THE TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, AND 4WD LIGHTS. THE CAR CLEARS UP IN A MATTER OF SECONDS AND RUNS ALLRIGHT AFTER THAT. HOWEVER IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES THIS COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. WHERE I WAS IT DIDN'T MATTER BUT IF YOU WERE IN TRAFFIC OR PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF A VEHICLE AND DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TIME, IT COULD MATTER VERY MUCH. ALL 4 OF THE WHEEL SENSORS HAVE GONE BAD AND NOW I'M ON THE 5TH ONE. THEY ARE NOT ALL THE SAME AND NOT EVERYTIME DO THEY CAUSE A HESITATION BUT SOMETIMES THEY DO AND TWICE THE CAR ALMOST WENT DEAD. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED.

WHILE TURNING RIGHT AND ENTERING A HIGHWAY USING A 270 DEGREE ON RAMP, THE CARS STEERING BECAME UNSTABLE AND SUDDENLY TIGHTENED IT'S TURNING CIRCLE AND LUNGED FARTHER TO THE RIGHT. INSPECTION HAS REVEALED THAT THE LOWER LEFT ( DRIVERS SIDE ) HAS WORN OUT AFTER ONLY 42,000 MILES. A SEARCH ONLINE REVEALED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP PATRIOT AND COMPASS AND IT IS TRACEABLE TO A BAD BATCH OF BALL JOINTS. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/JEEP/PATRIOT/2011/FRONT-SUSPENSION-CONTROL-ARM-PROBLEMS.PHP HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/JEEP/PATRIOT/FRONT-SUSPENSION-CONTROL-ARM-PROBLEMS.PHP. *TR

TOOK MY CAR INTO MECHANIC FOR FOUR NEW TIRES. AT THAT TIME WAS TOLD BY THEM THAT LOWER BALL JOINTS SHOWED SIGNS OF ABNORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THEY RECOMMENDED FIXING. AS I DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO GET IT INTO THE SHOP AT THAT POINT, I WAITED. TOOK CAR IN FOR STATE MANDATED ANNUAL INSPECTION AND IT FAILED - AT 38000 MILES. NOT ONLY THAT BUT CAR NEEDED ANOTHER NEW TIRE BECAUSE BALL JOINT HAD AFFECTED THE NEW TIRES I JUST BOUGHT. MECHANIC STATED THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING IN A CAR THAT'S BARELY 4 YEARS OLD. I DO NOT DO ANY OFF ROAD DRIVING - JUST NORMAL ABOUT TOWN AND SOME MINIMAL HIGHWAY. I AM THE ONLY OWNER - BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A DEFECT THAT OUGHT TO BE ADDRESSED. I SEE A LOT OF CONVERSATION ON THE WEB ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HOPE THEY DECIDE TO RECALL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IN OUR 2011 JEEP PATRIOT THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF WITH OUT WARNING, TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. WE MANAGED TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT ON THE EMERGENCY 4 WAY FLASHERS AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. WE ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR IT JUST KEPT TRYING TO TURN OVER, WE COULDN'T EVEN GET IT OUT OF PARK TO TRY AND START IT IN NEUTRAL. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE 2011 JEEP PATRIOTS REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE. I THINK ITS TIME FOR A RECALL BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY AND SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

I WAS ON A SHORT TRIP WHEN A CAR BEHIND ME FRANTICALLY WAVED ME TO STOP AND INFORMED ME THAT MY JEEP WAS ON FIRE. THE EXHAUST BURNT A WHOLE THROUGH THE REAR BUMPER AND MELTED THE BUMPER. I HAD NO INDICATION THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH, MY CAR STALLED. I ROLLED TO THE SHOULDER WITH THE RESIDUAL MOMENTUM. AFTER WAITING 3-5 MINUTES THE CAR WAS ABLE TO TURN OVER. I DROVE THE CAR UNTIL I COULD GET A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER; DURING THAT TIME THE CAR CONTINUED TO STALL RANDOMLY. TWO DAYS BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT, MY CAR STALLED TO THE POINT WHERE IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I FIRST TOWED THE CAR HOME, THE FOLLOWING MORNING TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR 4 DAYS AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR DETECT THE ORIGIN OF THE MALFUNCTION. SINCE HAVING THE CAR IN MY POSSESSION , I HAVE HAD THE CAR STALL EACH DAY IN USE. THIS CAR HAS PROVEN TO UNPREDICTABLE BUT MOST OF ALL UNSAFE. *JS

WHILE TRAVELING AT BOTH HIGHWAY AND RESIDENTIAL SPEEDS MY JEEP PATRIOT WILL SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING , LOSE POWER . THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS AT ~85,000 AND NOW OCCURS EVERY 50 MILES OR SO. ENGINE SHUT DOWN IS RANDOM WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS RESULTED IN NEAR COLLISIONS, AS I STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE MOVING TRAFFIC LANE. ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AFTER OCCURRENCE AND REMAIN ON UNTIL CAR HAS SET FOR THE NIGHT. ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS DO NOT APPEAR TO EXPLAIN PROBLEM PER REPAIR CENTER REPORT. *TR

SUNROOF LEAKS AFTER SNOWFALL; AS IT MELTS, WATER COLLECTS IN THE DOME LIGHT AND POURS OUT LIKE A WATERFALL WHILE DRIVING. NO ELECTRICAL ISSUES YET, BUT TWO OCCURRENCES SO FAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER CAR ON A DAY AFTER IT HAD RAINED. AS SHE STARTED TO TAKE OFF, WATER STARTED POURING OUT OF THE OVERHEAD INTERIOR LIGHT AND ALSO THE FRONT INTERIOR LIGHT. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AFTER A RAIN. THE RAINS COMES DOWN FROM THE SUNROOF SOMEHOW AND SETTLES IN THE UPPER INTERIOR LIGHTING SYSTEM. IT IS ENOUGH WATER TO SOAK ANY PERSON(S) IN THE FRONT SEAT(S) OR COMPLETELY SOAK A SMALL TOWEL. *TR

THE SUNROOF DRAIN TUBES FREEZE CAUSING THE SUNROOF RESERVOIR TO FILL WITH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WATER. ANY VEHICLE MOVEMENT CAUSES THE WATER TO LEAVE THE RESERVOIR AND POUR DOWN THROUGH THE DOME LIGHT ONTO THE CONSOLE, RADIO, AND GEAR SHIFT CONTROL. *TR

A YEAR AGO, I BROUGHT MY 2011 JEEP PATRIOT TO A CAR WASH. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED, HOWEVER WHILE GOING THROUGH THE CAR WASH, WATER STARTED POURING THROUGH THE SUNROOF AND THE LIGHT FIXTURES, INSTANTLY CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND DAMAGING THE ROOF LINER AND THE CAR STEREO. I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP. THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR TWO DAYS AND CALLED ME TO EXPLAIN THAT "THE CAR HAD DRIED OUT SO YOU CAN COME PICK IT UP." I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS HESITANT TO PICK THE CAR UP BECAUSE THERE WOULD SURELY BE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE THAT WOULD NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED I PICKED UP MY CAR THE STEREO AND LIGHTS STILL DID NOT WORK. FRUSTRATED, I CALLED THE JEEP CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE. THE REPRESENTATIVE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT JEEPS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE TAKEN INTO CAR WASHES. I ASKED HER HOW JEEP CAN MANUFACTURE OFF-ROAD VEHICLES THAT CANNOT BE WASHED. SHE REPLIED THAT I COULD GET A BUCKET AND HAND WASH MY VEHICLE.I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO AN OUT-OF-STATE DEALERSHIP .THEY HAD IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND CALLED TO TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND I COULD PICK IT UP. ONCE AGAIN, I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHTS AND STEREO STILL DID NOT WORK. OUT OF FRUSTRATION, I GAVE UP ON THE ISSUE FOR AWHILE UNTIL I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WATER STARTED POURING THROUGH THE SUNROOF AND FIXTURES ONCE AGAIN- DISTRACTING MY DRIVING BECAUSE WATER IS POURING EVERYWHERE. I PROMPTLY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE BACK IN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME THEY FOUND A PIECE OF PAINTER'S TAPE IN THE SUNROOF FROM SOME RECENT PAINTING TO MY CAR I HAD DONE. I APPROACHED THE PAINT SHOP WITH NO REPLY. TODAY, THE CAR STARTED LEAKING THROUGH THE SUNROOF AND FIXTURES CAUSING WATER TO STREAM DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD, LIMITING MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. MY CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED BECAUSE JEEP IS UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE MOVED UP AND DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A HEART ATTACK AND CRASHED INTO A HOUSE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED FRACTURED RIBS AND AN INJURED SPINE AND NOSE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTIFICATION. THE VIN PROVIDED WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

BALL JOINTS/CONTROL ARM BAD AT ONLY 41,000 MILES. TOOK CAR FOR INSPECTION AND IT FAILED BECAUSE OF THIS. TECHNICIAN SAID THESE PARTS SHOULD HAVE NEVER FAILED AT 3 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 41,000 MILES. OF COURSE OUT OF WARRANTY BUT FROM WHAT I AM FINDING OUT, WARRANTY WOULDN'T COVER THESE ANYWAYS. I WONDER IF THESE PARTS WERE EVEN TESTED AS THEY SHOULD LAST LONGER, SO SEEMS TO ME THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR

CAR STALLED WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. NO WARNING. PROBLEM CONTINUES, DEALER WILL NOT FIX. SAYS HE CAN'T FIND CAUSE OF STALLING. HOWEVER, NHTSA AND US GOV. REGULATORY AGENCY HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS INCLUDING ONE WHO HAD HIS JEEP TOTALED BY ANOTHER CAR REAR ENDING HIS VEHICLE WHEN THE JEEP STALLED. I AM NOT SAFE IN THIS CAR. I NEED HELP HAVING JEEP STEP UP TO FIX THIS TRANSMISSION WHICH IS CLEARLY FAILING. JEEP IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP PATRIOT BUT UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL, THOSE OF US WHO BOUGHT THIS CAR IN GOOD FAITH HAVE BEEN HUNG OUT TO DRY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WAS TOWED TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

WHILE GOING ABOUT 75 MPH, COMING BACK FROM CALIFORNIA, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO START MAKING A DIFFERENT WHINING TYPE SOUND AND THEN THE LIGHT TELLING ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND LET IT SIT FOR 10 MINUTES WHILE IDLING , WHICH THE OWNER MANUAL SUGGESTED,. THE LIGHT THEN WENT OFF AND WE PROCEEDED HOME WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. IT WAS REALLY STRANGE THOUGH WHEN YOU ARE IN A LARGE GROUP OF VEHICLE'S AND YOU SUDDENLY LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE; DEFINITELY A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE OUT ON THE ROAD.. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2011 JEEP PATRIOT FROM KRAFT NISSAN NOVEMBER 16, 2013. WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED IT THEY PRINTED OUT THE VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT SHOWING THAT THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENTS AND THAT THERE WAS ONLY ONE PREVIOUS OWNER. SINCE MY PURCHASE I COMPLIED WITH EVERY SCHEDULED SERVICING AND HADN'T HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS. WELL, JULY 15, 2014, AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING LIGHT LIT UP SO I DROVE TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION AND IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND THE OPERATOR INSTRUCTED ME TO LET THE CAR COOL OFF BEFORE STARTING IT BACK UP TO CONTINUE WITH MY JOURNEY. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF, I BEGAN TO DRIVE AGAIN AND I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED KRAFT NISSAN TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET MY VEHICLE INSPECTED. MY APPOINTMENT WAS FOR JULY 17, 2014, AND I LEFT MY CAR THERE WITH THEM FOR 10 HOURS, FINALLY I CALLED THEM AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS DIRTY AND THAT I NEEDED TO GET IT FLUSHED AND THE PRICE WOULD BE OVER $500. I DECLINED THE SERVICE BECAUSE THE PRICE SEEMED TO BE A BIT STEEP, AND I BEGAN TO CALL AROUND TO FIND A BETTER PRICE, MEANWHILE, I WAS CHARGED A $95 SERVICING FEE EVEN THOUGH THAT SERVICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AS I STATED BEFORE, I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH MY AUTOMOBILE, WELL, JULY 18, 2014 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT UP AND HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE. IT IS NOW SUNDAY, JULY 20, 2014 AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I AM PLANNING ON TAKING MY AUTOMOBILE BACK IN TO KRAFT NISSAN TO SEE EXACTLY WHY MY 'CHECK ENGINE' HAS BEEN ON SINCE MY VISIT WITH THEM. *TR

WAS DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT SUNDAY AFTERNOON. CAR WAS RUNNING WITH NO PROBLEMS AND SUDDENLY ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. ELECTRONICS WERE STILL RUNNING. TRIED TO TURN ENGINE BACK ON, ENGINE ATTEMPTED TO CRANK BUT DID NOT SUCCESSFULLY TURN ON. TRIED TWICE WITH NO SUCCESS. WAITED 10 MINUTES AND IT TURNED ON WITH NO PROBLEM. DROVE DOWN A LITTLE FURTHER AND IT STALLED AGAIN, WITH ELECTRONICS STILL ON. MANAGED TO TURN ENGINE BACK ON RIGHT AWAY, BUT I WAS TOO WORRIED TO DRIVE IT. TOWED IT BACK HOME. CODE P0335 WAS INDICATED WHEN SCANNED. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED ENGINES OF 2011 JEEP PATRIOT TEND TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING . THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, IT OCCURRED TWICE IN ONE DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE DEALER TO UPDATE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL AND POWER TRAIN MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,001. UPDATED 08/28/14*LJ UPDATED 09/4/2014 *JS

WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 3 HRS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND IN 108 DEGREE WEATHER, THE MOTOR SHUT DOWN. IF FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL. NO LIGHTS, NO WARNINGS, AND OVER 1/4 TANK OF FUEL. AFTER STOPPING ON THE SHOULDER THE MOTOR WOULD TURN OVER, BUT NOT START, MADE ME THINK THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD. 5 MINUTES LATER IT STARTED, BUT WHEN THE THROTTLE WAS PRESSED IT DIED AGAIN. ANOTHER 15 MINUTES OF SITTING THE VEHICLE STARTED, BUT FELT "SLUGGISH". I STARTED MOVING SLOWLY DOWN THE SHOULDER, AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO RESPOND NORMALLY, AND FINISHED THE LAST HOUR OF THE DRIVE WITHOUT INCIDENT. *TR

DRIVER'S POWER DOOR LOCK STOPPED FUNCTIONING. IT IS SOLELY THE DRIVER'S DOOR. ALL OTHER POWER DOOR LOCKS FUNCTION APPROPRIATELY. THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN THE MINIMUM THRESHOLD SPEED IS REACHED. IT ALSO DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK/UNLOCK WITH A KEY FOB. POWER DOOR LOCKS WERE CREATED TO ENHANCE DRIVER SAFETY, SO THE FACT THAT THIS STOPPED FUNCTIONING ON A VEHICLE LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING. A SEARCH OF WEB SITES SUGGESTS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE JEEPS, BUT THE DEALER REPORTS NO RECALLS NOR SERVICE BULLETINS. *TR

WHEN THE WEATHER TURNED COLD THE TIRE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON. I ASKED AT THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID IT IS SO COLD OUT THAT YOU LOSE A BIT OF PRESSURE AND ONCE THE WEATHER TURNS WARM THE LIGHT WILL TURN OFF. THE WEATHER IS NOW IN THE 50-60 DEGREE RANGE AND I JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE WITH TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE NOW I THINK IT IS A BAD SENSOR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF I IGNORE IT AND THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM I COULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF LOW TIRE PRESSURE WHICH COULD RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH AND THAT WOULD FOLLOW A MAJOR LAWSUIT BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW AND I NOTICE THAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. *TR

REAR WINDOW EXPLODED WHEN DOOR WAS SHUT. *TR

I LIVE IN WI AND I HAVE ALL MY LIFE. IN FEBRUARY, HERE IN WI, NO DOUBT IT'S BEEN COLD. MY WINDSHIELD WAS FINE THAT NIGHT. IN THE MORNING, MY WINDSHIELD AND TOP OF THE JEEP WAS COVERED IN SNOW. SO AS USUAL, WHEN IT'S COLD, I WENT TO START MY JEEP AND LET IT HEAT UP, AS USUAL I PUT ON DEFROST AND WENT BACK INTO THE HOUSE. I CAME BACK OUTSIDE ABOUT 10 MINS LATER TO SCRAPE OFF THE SNOW, WENT BACK IN GOT MY SON, WE GOT INTO THE JEEP, READY TO GO AND WE NOTICED (I DO HAVE PICTURES) I HAD A CRACK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD THAT RAN FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE, HORIZONTAL TO DRIVERSIDE. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD IT LOOKED LIKE A COMMON CRACK DUE TO THE COLD. OKAY, FINE, I LIVE IN WI, IT'S COLD, BUT I HAVE HAD BEATERS OF CARS UNTIL I WAS OUT OF COLLEGE AND I NEVER ONCE HAVE HAD A WINDSHIELD BREAK DUE TO THE COLD. I READ ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS WEB SITE WERE THE BACK WINDSHIELD JUST BLEW OUT. MY INSURANCE WILL COVER, BUT IT HAS A DEDUCTIBLE AND I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD COVER IT AND I ALSO FEEL THEY SHOULD BUT A LITTLE QUALITY FOR SAFETY PURPOSES INTO THE VEHICLES THEY ARE MAKING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN WAUSAU, MY JEEP STOPPED, I ACCELERATED-NOTHING. I HAD CARS BEHIND ME HONKING AND THE ONE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME WAS COMING UP FAST, I STEERED TO THE RIGHT AND MANAGED TO MAKE IT INTO A SNOWBANK. I TURNED MY CAR OFF, RESTARTED IT. SAT FOR ABOUT 10 MINS WITH HAZARDS ON AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK HOME TO EAU CLAIRE. IN FEBRUARY I REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION. MY TRANSMISSION NEVER WENT OUT. MY VEHICLE WOULD JUST GET STUCK IN REVERSE, I'D HAVE TO PUT IN DRIVE, BACK TO REVERSE, THEN TO DRIVE AGAIN TO GO. IN ADDITION I HAD TWO MORE EPISODES, ONE WITH MY TWELVE YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME WHERE IT JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING. SO I HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION IN. I HAVE ALSO FILED A SEPARATE COMPLAINT REGARDING TREAD WEAR ON NOW TIRES, BUT IT'S A FEW WEEKS LATER AND SOMETHING STILL ISN'T RIGHT. I'M NOT GETTING STUCK IN REVERSE ANYMORE, IT'S ONLY BEEN A MONTH, BUT I HAVEN'T HAD THE JEEP STOP, BUT IT FEEL LIKE THE (EXCUSE MY LACK OF MECHANICAL [XXX]) FUEL ISN'T GETTING TO WEAR IT NEEDS TO GO FAST ENOUGH BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T ACCELERATE (IT'S BEEN OVER 30 DEGREES ALL WEEK, IT'S NOT DUE TO NOT HAVING THE CAR WARM UP). THEN WHEN IT DOES CHOOSE TO ACCELERATE IT "JUMPS" TO IT. OVERALL IT'S JUST NOISY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

IN 2012 WE HAD A NAIL THROUGH THE TIRE OF THE 2011 JEEP PATRIOT THAT WE BOUGHT NEW. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO TIRES PLUS TO HAVE THE TIRE REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T LEGALLY REPLACE JUST ONE TIRE. THE TREAD WEAR WAS SO AWFUL; UNEVEN, DIFFERENT TREAD VARIANCES, THEY COULDN'T MATCH ONE USED TIRE. HOW WOULD THEY PICK WHAT TIRE TO MATCH IT UP TOO. WE ENDED UP WITH 4 NEW TIRES, WE WERE ALSO TOLD AT THE TIME THE UNEVEN TREAD WAS DOING DAMAGE TO SHOCKS AND STRUTS. A YEAR LATER WE TOOK IT IN FOR NEW BREAK PADS AND ROTATION, AGAIN, EVEN WITH THESE "NEW" TIRES WE WERE TOLD TREAD WAS SO UNEVEN, IT WOULD BE LOUD, BE CAREFUL, EXCRETA. I TOOK THE JEEP INTO A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL 10/2013 "N01 RECALL" SINCE I HAD IN THERE I ALSO OPTED TO GET TRANSMISSION SERVICE/FILTER, THEY TOO TALKED TO ME ABOUT MY TIRE WEAR. 11/2013ISH MY HUSBAND, STATIONED IN HI PURCHASES A NEW JEEP AS WELL. NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH TWO OF THESE...2/2014 I FIND OUT THE VEHICLE HE PURCHASE (NOT HIS, BUT OTHERS WITH SAME YR/MAKE/MODEL ARE ALREADY BEING RECALLED. THEN MY TRANSMISSION GOES OUT! A JEEP, WE HAVE JUST OWNED, HIGHER MILES ALL FROM HWY 94 FROM MY HUSBAND COMPUTE WHEN HE LIVED IN WI TO FORTMCCOY...STRAIGHT SHOT...65MH THE WHOLE WAY. IN ADDITION THEY FIX SWAY BAR LINK, ARM CONTROL AND TELL ME NOISE THAT STILL EXISTS COULD BE WHEEL BEARING, MY ALIGNMENT WAS SO OFF, THEY KEPT IT AN EXTRA DAY. SO I'M 5K INTO MY VEHICLE I OWED 3 YEARS, THE WHEEL BEARING, ALIGNMENT, SWAY BAR, ARM CONTROL, SHOCKS, STRUTS ALL I BELIEVE TO WHATEVER (I WISH I NEW) WAS CAUSING THE UNEVEN TREAD WEAR. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG! TRANSMISSION DIFFERENT ISSUE...OR IS IT? I HAVE BEEN TOLD AS MENTIONED ABOVE THEY COULDN'T "LEGALLY" REPLACE JUST ONE TIRE...THEN HOW FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS CAN JEEP LEGALLY LET ME DRIVE MY 4 KIDS IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS OBVIOUS PROBLEMS. YES, I'VE CALLED DEALERSHIP, HOME OFFICE AND BBB. *TR

I HAVE A 2011 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE THAT BEGAN HAVING A ROUGH RIDE AND RATTLE NOISE IN THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL AREA IN OCTOBER 2013. IN DECEMBER 2013 THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED WITH 42,000 MILES AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM NEEDED REPLACING BECAUSE OF A BAD BALL JOINT. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND DISCOVERED NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON JEEP FORUMS INDICATING IT HAS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR JEEP FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS DUE TO POOR QUALITY PARTS BUT JEEP REFUSES TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. I TOOK THE JEEP TO MY DEALERSHIP, GOLLING CHRYSLER JEEP IN BLOOMFIELD, MI. THEY ADMITTED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, RECALL OR TSB. I ENDED UP REPLACING THE PART FOR $300 AT A REPAIR SHOP. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE THAT JEEP REFUSES TO COVER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON 12/03/13 I WAS AT AN INTERSECTIONS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AND TURN IN TO TRAFFIC ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, ALMOST GOT HIT. CAR CONTINUED TO HESITATE AS I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN. CAR SLOWLY ACCELERATED BUT WOULD NOT GO MORE THAN 40 MPHS. CAR CONTINUED TO PULL AND HESITATED AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET IT THE SHOP. MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND ALMOST GET IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO TRAFFIC. *TR

BALL JOINTS ARE WORN AND NEED REPLACEMENT AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES. VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY AND AROUND TOWN. NO OFF-ROADING. LOOKING AT JEEP PATRIOT FORUM ON-LINE THIS APPEARS TO BE PRETTY TYPICAL. PERHAPS A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE SO THAT JEEP CAN PUT IN PARTS THAT ARE DURABLE AND SAFE. *TR

AFTER HEARING A NOISE IN MY EXHAUST SYSTEM, I CHECKED UNDER THE CAR AND FOUND MY MUFFLER LOCKED UP ABOUT 2 TO 3 INCHES WITH THE EXHAUST PIPE POINTING DIRECTLY AT THE BACK OF MY PLASTIC BUMPER. MY BUMPER WAS DISTORTED AND MELTING. I CAUGHT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE A FIRE STARTED BUT AM CONFIDENT THIS WOULD HAVE IGNITED. I THEN REACHED UP AND PULLED WITH A LITTLE FORCE DOWN ON THE MUFFLER AND IT SNAPPED BACK INTO THE CORRECT POSITION. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE JUST THE DAMAGE TO THE MELTED BUMPER. I WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND SHOWED THE SERVICE MANAGER THE PROBLEM. HE TOOK PICTURES AND CONTACTED CHRYSLER. AFTER WAITING ALMOST TWO WEEKS, THE SERVICE MANAGER CONTACTED ME AND TOLD ME CHRYSLER WOULD REPAIR MY BUMPER AS A COURTESY. I ASKED HIM IF THEY WERE GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE MUFFLER/HANGER BUT THEY REFUSED. I AM NOW DOING WHAT I CAN TO INFORM PEOPLE OF THE PROBLEM AND TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED.

I PURCHASED MY 2011 JEEP PATRIOT IN MARCH 2011 AND ONE DAY IT SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 50-55 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR HAD BEEN TRAVELING ON THE ROAD FOR ONLY 5 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, WITH NO STOPS OR PROBLEMS. I WAS MEETING MY HUSBAND FOR LUNCH AND THE CAR JUST STALLED AND I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE. I WAS IN SHOCK BECAUSE THE WERE CARS BEHIND ME AND I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED AND HE ASKED ME DID I HIT A BUMP WRONG THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE AND I SAID NO. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY DEALER AND LEFT A MESSAGE. THE SERVICE CENTER CALLED BACK AND I GAVE THEM DETAILS. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS AND ALLOW THEM TO DRIVE IT, BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. SO THEY TOLD ME THAT IF IT GAVE ME ANY OTHER ISSUES TO GIVE THEM A CALL. A FEW MONTHS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING, AGAIN WHEN I FIRST TOOK OFF LEAVING MY HOME. AT THIS POINT I WAS ASSUMING IT WAS SOMETHING I WAS DOING OR HITTING A BUMP WRONG. SO I CALLED THEM AND GAVE ANOTHER NOTICE TO THE DEALER. SAME DAY THE WINDOWS STARTED TO GO DOWN BY THEMSELVES. AGAIN, I THOUGHT I TOUCHED THE SWITCH WRONG AND CAUSE THE WINDOW TO ROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN BUT IT NOT ONLY DID IT TO MY WINDOW THE PASSENGER WINDOW DID THE SAME. SO DURING THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I TOLD THEM TO CHECK EVERYTHING OUT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS DOING WEIRD STUFF. NEVER SAW ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. NO PUTTING OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW AND WE HAVE ONLY DEALT WITH THE WINDOWS GOING DOWN BY THEMSELVES, BUT THE CAR ISN'T TURNING OFF..THANK GOD! MY FATHER IN LAW BROUGHT THE RECALL ISSUE TO OUR ATTENTION AND WANTED US TO CONTACT THE DEALER BECAUSE WE HAVE TWO YOUNG KIDS. WE TRAVEL ALOT AND WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE WE DECIDE TO TRAVEL FOR THE HOLIDAYS. *TR

THE ENGINE STALLED AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. STALLING OCCURS MORE OFTEN WHEN I HAVE BEEN IN TRAFFIC FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP IN TRAFFIC THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE HAS CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE CENTER WAS TOLD ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIMED THAT IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED AND THE ISSUE STOPPED FOR A BIT.

MY 2011 JEEP PATRIOT (LIMITED, TRAIL RATED) SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 70-75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR HAD BEEN TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE/HIGHWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, WITH NO STOPS OR PROBLEMS. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN THE PASSING LANE, NOTICED THAT THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DESPITE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. HE MANAGED TO MERGE THROUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE HAD COMPLETELY DIED BEFORE HE CAME TO A STOP. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. NO SPUTTERING OR SHUDDERING OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE CAR HAD OVERHEATED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ANYTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW. HE DID HAVE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE AT THE TIME. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER THE INCIDENT. (HE TRIED TO RESTART SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE 30-45 MINUTES IT TOOK FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE, IT WOULD TRY TO START (IT WOULD TURN OVER?) BUT WOULD NOT ACTUALLY START) ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE NOTED TWICE THE CAR TOOK SLIGHTLY LONGER TO START AFTER SITTING IN THE SUN ALL DAY, BUT THIS IS REALLY A NON "ISSUE" SINCE IT HAS ALWAYS STARTED. IT JUST TOOK MAYBE .5 SECONDS LONGER THAN NORMAL ON TWO OCCASIONS. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE START TIME IS RELATED, AT ALL, TO THIS STALLING INCIDENT. THIS CAR IS LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD, AND HAS ALMOST 18,000 MILES ON IT. THIS EVENT COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THANKFULLY, THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE CAR WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURRED. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE TOMORROW. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON NB I-5 IN A 2005 SUBARU. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WAS THIS 2011 JEEP PATRIOT THAT I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT. WE WERE DRIVING APPROX. 65MPH. I WAS NOT TAILGATTING! THE JEEP PATRIOT'S POWER DIED. THE DRIVER THOUGHT SHE WAS NOT GETTING GAS AND KEPT HITTING THE GAS PEDAL. SHE NEVER HIT THE BRAKE. I DID NOT SEE A BRAKE LIGHT AND IT TOOK ME A COUPLE SECONDS TO REALIZE SHE HAD SLOWED, THEN STOPPED (THAT IS WHY I PUT SHE WAS GOING APPROX. 30MPH). RESEARCH SHOWS IT TAKES 2-1/2 TIME LONGER TO BRAKE IF YOU DO NOT SEE BRAKE LIGHTS. SHE DID NOT PULL OVER TO THE MEDIAN. NEEDLESS TO SAY, BY THE TIME I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES, I HIT HER. I WAS STILL GOING ABOUT 55MPH. MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY 85 YEAR OLD MOTHER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. I WAS ALSO INJURED BUT WAS ABLE TO RECOVER IN A MATTER OF 6-8 WEEKS. AS I RESEARCH THIS VEHICLE, I FIND THAT NOT ONLY THE 2011 PATRIOT HAS THIS PROBLEM, BUT SO DOES THE 2012 PATRIOT. WHEN IS JEEP GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY JEEP MECHANICS KNOW THIS PROBLEM OCCURS BUT DO NOT KNOW WHY. BTW, THIS WAS A RENTAL VEHICLE FOR THE DRIVER OF THE PATRIOT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING MY RADIO WENT OFF AND ON AND SCREEN TURNED BLACK. I DROVE A LITTLE FURTHER TO FIND A PLACE TO PULL OFF WHEN MY DASH BOARD LITE UP WITH EVERYTHING MALFUNCTIONING LIGHT AND THEN WENT BLACK. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE ALRIGHT. AS I CONTINUED ON TO WORK THE RADIO STARTED GOING ON AND OFF AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH THE WATER LEAK AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AS OF YET. I AM THINKING THAT MAYBE DUE TO THE WATER LEAK FROM THE DOME LIGHTS AND FIRE WALL MAY HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE ELECTRICAL AREA. PLEASE YOU REALLY NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE. I HAVE MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE REGULARLY INCLUDING MY 2 YEAR OLD GRANDSON AND 10 MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER. THEY ARE MY LIFE AND I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO THEM. *TR

WATER IN DOME LIGHTS, UNKNOWN SOURCE & I BELIEVE IT IS LIKELY THERE IS WATER THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR. *TR

2011 JEEP PATRIOT DIES RANDOMLY. IT DIES GOING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 OR IT CAN DIE GOING DOWN THE DRIVE WAY. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AND PUT APPROXIMATELY 400 MILES ON IT AND IT DIED SEVEN TIMES.

CONTINUED FAILURE OF TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM IN 2011 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE 4X4. OUR BRAND NEW 2011 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE 4X4 HAS EXPERIENCED CONTINUED FAILURE OF THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS IT THE TPMS LIGHT HAS ACTIVATED INDICATING A LOW TIME PRESSURE ISSUE IN THE TIRES. EACH TIME THE TIRE PRESSURE IS CHECKED AND DETERMINED TO BE CORRECT. WE HAVE NOW TAKEN THIS JEEP TO OUR LOCAL DEALER, SPORT DURST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP, ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THIS ISSUE. THE MOST RECENT TIME WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TPMS WAS SET TO THE INCORRECT PRESSURE AND WAS SET CORRECTLY. DESPITE THIS, THE TPMS LIGHT HAS COME ON ONCE AGAIN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE AS A MALFUNCTIONING TPMS WILL RESULT IN JEEP OWNERS IGNORING THE LIGHT. THIS COULD RESULT IN COMPLACENCY WHEN THERE COULD, IN FACT, BE A REAL TIRE PRESSURE PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES ATTENTION. *TR
