2014 Jeep Patriot SUV 2WD

The active head restraint on the passenger side spontaneously deployed while parked. There was no impact leading up to this event. The head restraint appears to have failed due to a faulty plastic clip that split in half. The head restraint is at the height of my passenger's head and, if they had been seated in the chair, the deployed headrest would have hit them at the base of the skull or delivered a blow to the left or right cheekbone and eye. I took the vehicle to my nearest Jeep dealership (Rhythm Jeep in Madison, TN) and they confirmed that the clip holding the release pin in place spontaneously failed. They documented the damage and ordered a new headrest which has not yet been fulfilled (a 9-month wait so far). There were no warning signals or any other indication that the head restraint would fail. Our concern is that the driver's side head restraint will also fail and cause the driver to crash the vehicle or suffer head and neck injury.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH, the passenger’s side headrest air bag exploded without warning striking the contact’s son on the back of the head. There was no injury sustained. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

The "gate" light will come on and off and so will the all the lights in the vehicle and it will do it off and on. I am not paying to fix it. I never had a problem with it before and I've had this Jeep for almost a year. I was in a hit and run in August and my Jeep didn't do this until I got it back about a week afterwards.

I have a 2014 2.4L JEEP PATRIOT. I first noticed the problem when I was driving at 75 MPH between Mertzon Texas and Barnhart Texas, where there is no cell service unless you are on top of a hill. Then suddenly the check engine and the oil light came on and the vehicle began to lose speed no matter how much I pushed the gas peddle. The engine felt like it was running out of power and i was unable to accelerate, the engine began to stall and would not allow me to go over 15mph. The problem continued to get worse, while I pulled over and stopped, the engine would idle very heavily and sound rough. When I tried to proceed, the engine would stall, and my foot would be presing down on the gas pedalbut the car would not accelerate. Then after about a minute or the with the gas pedal down to the floor, the vehicle's rpms would jump and the it would go. But it continued the same pattern for about 15 miles, then it just died and would not start again for a few hours, but the issue was still the same, it would start but not move. Another issue is when the vehicle would be in park position and I would try to go in reverse, the engine would sound like it went into reverse, but it would not move, it would stall out and die. I have taken it to so many shops and they can not give an answer, they just say that the motor is blown. The problem is consistent with the NHS Recal-13V552000, so why does it still say that my vin in not affected when actually it is, but nothing is being done.

On 7/15, my sensor showed I needed a usual oil change. I have had no prior issues with my oil. I drove it to my brothers and there was a loud knocking sound, and my dad checked the dipstick showing zero oil in my engine. I took it down the street about 2 miles, and the engine was stalling the whole way. The engine completely failed. It wouldn’t take oil, it was completely failed. As of 11/2013, I did some research and my particular model of the vehicle has an open recall that apparently doesn’t affect my VIN, however, the recall 13v552000/N52 states that abrasive debri in the balance shaft bearing causes loss of engine oil pressure, causing the engine to stall and or fail. I’m at a loss, and it’s been open as of 11/2013.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot with Champion Spark plugs (Part Number: 318) installed in the vehicle. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph, there was a loud sound coming from the engine before the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the spark plug had imploded and damaged the engine. The contact indicated that the spark plugs were installed approximately 9 month prior to the failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

Customer Report: Initial report from customer to GSA Field Service Rep on May 18, 2021. Active head restraint deployed not due to accident. Per customer: "One employee was injured and filed a workers comp due to the head restraint inadvertently deploying." Note: Stellantis and its Special Investigations unit are involved. Consumer stated manufacture has been contacted.

I HAVE A 2014 2.4L JEEP PATRIOT. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THEN SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF POWER AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO GO OVER 20 MPH. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE WOULD IDLE VERY HEAVILY. WHEN I WENT TO PROCEED, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. MY FOOT WOULD BE PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. THEN AFTER ABOUT TWO MINUTES WITH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE'S RPMS WOULD JUMP TO 4-5 AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE IN A PARKED POSITION AND THEN PROCEEDED TO BE REVERSED, AS I WAS TURNING THE WHEEL TO BACK UP THE ENGINE STARTED SPUTTERING AND STALLED OUT. I HAD TO COMPLETELY TURN THE KEY OFF THEN BACK ON TO ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE TO REVERSE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO SO MANY SHOPS THAT CAN'T GIVE ME ANSWERS. THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT WITH THE NHS RECALL- 13V552000

WAS DRIVING 55 ON HIGHWAY AND JEEP STARTED SPUTTERING AND JUMPING. THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THROTTLE BODY SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON. LIMPED IT HOME WITH FLASHERS ON AT 30 MPH. IT WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER.

2014 JEEP PATRIOT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO ENGINE BALANCE SHAFT MODULE. *LD THE CONSUMER REFERENCED RECALL N52/13V-552. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING DUE TO LOSS OF ENGINE OIL PRESSURE. *JS

DRIVER STOOD OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE WITH IT RUNNING AND IN PARKED POSITION. A CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT GRABBED THE GEAR SHIFTER AND WAS ABLE TO SHIFT VEHICLE INTO THE DRIVE POSITION CAUSING A MINOR COLLISION.

I WAS SITTING IN MY CAR GETTING READY TO LEAVE A PARKING SPACE I BACKED OUT AND THEN I HEARD A POP I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM I LOOKED AROUND THE VEHICLE I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ONCE I GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT MY HEADREST HAD POPPED OUT I WAS NOT HIT BY ANYTHING IT JUST POPPED OUT

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS SEEM TO BE CRACKING IN THE SAME PLACE. BUT THE MOST POPULAR ISSUES IS THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT- CHECK ENGINE LIGHT(U0401)- AND THE TRACTION CONTROLF LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH AND THE CAR IS STUCK IN "LIMP MODE" AND EVERYONE IS SAYING ON JEEPS SITE THAT ITS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THEN SOME STILL HAVE PROBLEMS AFTER THAT. I SAW ONLINE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE BREAKS, THE ENGINE IN 2013, AND THE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT I GO TO ALL THE OFFICIAL SITES AND WHEN I USE MY VIN THE ONLY RECALL IS FOR THE SEATBELT. PLEASE HELP

BRAKES NEEDED REPLACED LEFT REAR ONLY AFTER 12,000 MILES,1ROTOR WAS SEVERELY CHEWED UP AND PADS,RIGHT SIDE VERY GOOD CONDITION. EVERY BUMP CAUSE PAD TO RUB AND STICK TO ROTOR.

PASSENGER SEAT ACTIVE HEAD HEADREST (AHR) DEPLOYED ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT. PLASTIC 'PIN' THAT HOLDS SPRINGS SNAPPED OFF. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, UNOCCUPIED AND PARKED IN DRIVEWAY WHEN DEPLOYED. SOUND COULD BE HEARD OUTSIDE CAR ALERTING ME TO THE DEPLOYMENT.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR HAD A ROUGHY START JUST THREE WEEKS AGO AND I WAS TOLD I HAD A BAD ALTERNATOR MY CAR STOPPED WHEN I WAS DRIVING. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN THREE WEEKS LATER AND I WAS TOLD MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT HAD A BAD THROTTLE BODY AND AGAIN MY VEHICLE STOPPED AS IT WAS IN MOTION IN TRAFFIC. THE FIRST TIME IT STOPPED I WAS ON A CITY STREET THE SECOND TIME I HADN'T EVEN CLEARED MY DRIVEWAY IT STOPPED IN THE STREET AND I WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP

WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY, SINCE THEN AND GOING FORWARD IT THROWS SAME LIGHTS ON CLUSTER EACH 1/4 MILE!!! MY VEHICLE THROWS A FEW WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER(E.T.C.AKA ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE.) THE VEHICLE STARTS TO SPUTTER AND COMPLETELY COMES TO A STALL. I PULL OVER AS SAFE AS I CAN AND TURN ENGINE OFF THEN BACK ON ONLY TO SEE NO LIGHTS EXCEPT CHECK ENGINE. TRIED TO DRIVE HOME REMAINING SHORT DISTANCE ONLY TO GET SAME LIGHTS THROWN ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THEN SPUTTERS AND STALLS OUT.

THE DRIVER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR CAUSE. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT, NO CAR OR OBJECT HIT THE CAR. WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE I NOTICED THE HEADREST HAD BEEN DEPLOYED. IT WAS POSSIBLE IT HAPPENED OVER NIGHT OR AS THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND PUT IN REVERSE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM ONLINE. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND THIS WILL APPARENTLY COST ME $800 OR MORE TO REPAIR, OR I CAN DRIVE AROUND WITH NO HEAD REST.

BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER HEAD REST BUST OPEN WHILE DRIVING - ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN HER DRIVEWAY WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE ON AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING FORWARD INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY REACH FOR THE VEHICLE DOOR HANDLE THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED AND PROCEEDED TO MOVE FORWARD DOWN, THE VEHICLE HIT A FENCE, WENT DOWN A HILL, AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT CRASHED INTO THE A TREE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GO INTO THE PASSENGER DOOR AND TURNED THE VEHICLE ENGINE OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS INSURANCE LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,486. *BF

THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT (AHR) IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SELF-DEPLOYED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED (ENGINE WAS OFF) IN THE DRIVEWAY -NO COLLISION OR EXTERNAL ACTION INVOLVED. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS UNOCCUPIED WHEN THE AHR WAS ACTIVATED. IT APPEARED THAT TWO PLASTIC TABS POSSIBLY USED TO SECURE THE DEVICE IN POSITION HAD SHEARED OFF. AS A RESULT, THE AHR COULD NOT BE PLACED BACK IN ITS ORIGINAL POSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND LOSS MOTIVE POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VICTORVILLE MOTORS (14617 CIVIC DR, VICTORVILLE, CA 92394, (760) 843-8317) HOWEVER, WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

ENGINE STALLED, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CAR RANDOMLY ACCELERATED AND DECELERATED SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS POSTS ABOUT THE ISSUES ON 2014 JEEP PATRIOT

THE PASSENGER HEAD REST POPPED PUT WHILE BEING PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY. IVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE AND NO RECALLS FOR IT. BUT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PLASTIC PIN BREAKING INSIDE OF THE HEAD REST AND IT DEPLOYING WITH OUT ANY IMPACT. NO ONE WAS SITTING THERE THANKFULLY OTHERWISE THEY WOULDA GOT WHACKED BY IT.

IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL GAS TANK BECAUSE TANK INPUT TUBE IS BLOCKED. CAN FILL ON A DROP BY DROP BASIS, BUT TAKES ALMOST HALF AN HOUR.

SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT. VEHICLE LOST POWER AND ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WOULD STALL. VEHICLE WOULD ONLY DRIVE AT VERY LOW SPEED TO GET TO SAFETY. AFTER RESTARTING, ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON, VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE BUT SOON FAILED AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MILES AND THE THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT MAY COME ON AS WELL. WAS TOO CONCERNED WITH GETTING TO SAFETY TO KNOW FOR SURE.

THE MUFFLER MELTED THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. IT ALMOST CAUGHT FIRE AFTER 2 HOURS ON THE ROAD WITH NO INDICATION. WE MANAGED TO PUSH MUFFLER DOWN AND IT STOPPED MELTING THE PLASTIC. WE STOPPED FOR GAS AND SAW THE DAMAGE. I DID NOT NOTICE THE MUFFLER WAS STUCK IN THE UPWARD POSITION BEFORE THE TRIP SO IT WAS NOT A CONCERN UNTIL WE STOPPED. WE WERE ON INTERSTATE 25 SOUTHBOUND RIGHT OUT OF ALBUQUERQUE, NM.

THE DASHBOARD STARTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE STEERING COLUMN CAUGHT FIRE AND MELTED THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD.I PARKED MY CAR AROUND 9PM AND WENT BACK OUT AROUND 11:30PM TO GET SOMETHING OUT AND FOUND MY DASHBOARD COMPLETELY MELTED. I WAS TOLD BY THE FIRE COMPANY THAT BECAUSE THE WINDOWS WERE ALL CLOSED TIGHTLY THE FIRE SMOTHERED ITSELF. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE BODY SHOP AND THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. MY CAR WAS TOTALED.

I HAVE TO PROTEST TO CALL STABILITY CONTROL TO BE SAFE DEVICE. IN OVER 120 000 MILES ON THE TIERS I REPLACED IF REMEMBER RIGHT: 6 SETS OF BREAKS SETS, 5 NEW NEW ROTORS, 2 CALIPERS BREAKS ASSEMBLE, FRONT HOUSE BREAKS LINE. DRIVING ON THE STRAIGHT HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ENGAGE THE BREAKS AT RANDOM. SOME TIME MAKING ME SEE SICK. I REMEMBER DRIVING 60 MILES AN HOUR THE BRAKES ENGAGE NEARLY PUSHED ME IN TO ANOTHER CAR. RECENTLY TRAVEL TO MOUTON REGAIN. THE BREAKS SLOWING ME DOWN. FOR NO KNOW CAUSE. I NOTICED DANGER PATER TOO. WHEN I MAKE A TURN IN THE WINDING ROAD, THE CAR IS GETTING EXTREMELY DANGERS. THE CAR BRAKING DOWN WHEN I INTEND TO ACCELERATE. THIS COLLISION OF INTEREST RESULTING IN: MY TRANSMISSION IS DOWN STEPS GOOD, THE RPM GO TO EXTREME. FIRST FROM 1,500 RACE TO 2000 THEN 3000 THEN 5000 SLOWING DOWN THE CAR. WHEN FINELY BREAKS ARE RELEASED IT KICK LIKE A MULE TRYING TO FORCE ME OF THE ROUTE. DON'T KNOW WAY ANY ONE NEED THAT TIP OF TRACTION CONTROL?. THIS IS MY SECOND VEHICLE IN THE ROW, THAT HAVE COMPUTER PROBLEM TO. RANDOM ACTION ON IN AND OUT COMPONENTS. THE LAST ONE DODGE ACCLAIM FORCED TO TRADE IN BECAUSE COMPUTER REPLACEMENT DID NOT SOLVED PROBLEM, I TESTED ABS BREAKS ON SLOW SPEED. IT WAS ONLY A TEST 10 MILES AN HOUR. I END UP I DITCH. IT WAS A WINTER SNOW. ONLY A TEST, MINER DAMAGE TO PLASTIC FENDER. IS IT PASSABLE TO RETURN TO REGULAR BREAKS, THAT WORK. THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT PROHIBIT THAT ACTION SANCTION BY STATE INSPECTION. ( NO INSPECTION CAN BE PASS WHEN WARNING LIGHT IS ON). CAN ANY WAY I CAN GET REPLACEMENT FOR: GENERIC COMPUTER? GENERIC BREAKS SYSTEM? MAYBE I CAN GET WAIVE FOR INSTALLATION OF THAT SYSTEM? I AM A INDUSTRIAL MECHANIC BY TRADE AND PASSION. CAN EASY WIRED ANY COMPONENTS I NEED. [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY VEHICLE THE CAR STUDDERS AND STOP IN TRAFFIC. WHEN TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD BY PRESSING THE GAS IT WON'T MOVE UNTIL I TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF. ONCE I RESTART THE VEHICLE IT MOVES AGAIN. THIS IS HAZARDOUS TO MY FAMILY AND SELF.

I PULLED UP IN FRONT OF A STORE TO LOAD SOME THINGS INTO MY CAR. THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND LEFT RUNNING. IT ONLY TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO LOAD THE CAR. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT, I NOTICED MY HEADREST HAD POPPED OPEN. I LOOKED IT UP ON MY PHONE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT (AHR) HAD BEEN ACTIVATED. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS, I DROVE STRAIGHT HOME AND DIDN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MONDAY NIGHT. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON SATURDAY. I AM THANKFUL THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING - IT COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

PASSENGER FRONT ACTIVE RESTRAINT HEADREST DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. THIS WAS DUE TO A BROKEN PLASTIC PIN RETAINING PIECE IN HEADREST. DEFECTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYED CAUSING PASSENGER TO BE STRUCK IN BACK OF HEAD WHILE PARKED, NO ACCIDENT OCCURED.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION WILL MAKE A LOUD WHINE AND NOT GO OVER 40 MPH . USUAL HAPPENS AFTER ABOUT 30 MIN OF DRIVING AND WILL NOT SHOW ANY CODES. THIS HAPPENS DURING ACCELERATION AND YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT BEFORE IT WILL RESUME SOMEWHAT NORMAL OPERATION .

MY VEHICLE TEND TO JUMP GEARS AND TRANSMISSION IS RUNNING HARD AND WOULD NOT GET UP TO 40 MILES A HOUR.

IVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MUTLIPLE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASING IT FROM DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HAD NO RESOLVE. ON ONE OCCASION THE JEEP HAD BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A MONTH NOW AND ALL THEY KEPT TELLING ME IS THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. CURRENT SITUATION - LAST MONTH (MARCH) I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE JEEP OVER 20 MPH. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING THIS AND I CAN'T GET ANYONE TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER IF THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE TRANSMISSION. I AM ANGRY AT THIS POINT. WE'VE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE WE PURCHASED IT NOW I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND I WORK IN HEALTHCARE. I THINK THIS MAY FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW. IT MIGHT BE TIME TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY. PLEASE HELP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 20 MPH, WITH THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

I WAS DRIVING APPROX 45 MPH WHEN I HEARD A POPPING NOISE FOLLOWED BY GRINDING NOISE WHILE IN 5TH GEAR. TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT LOOKED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION. I THEN TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO VERIFIED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT. IT WAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR, I ASKED TO TAKE PICTURES SO THAT I COULD TALK TO JEEP ABOUT HAVING A TRANSMISSION FAIL AT 103K MILES. WHILE TAKING PICTURES AND LOOKING AT THE DAMAGED TRANSMISSION, THE MECHANIC SAID " WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT YEAR IS YOUR JEEP?" I TOLD HIM IT WAS A 2014. HE SAID, "LOOK AT THIS STICKER. IT MEANS THAT THIS TRANSMISSION WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2016. SO, YOU ARE ACTUALLY ON YOUR 3RD TRANSMISSION." I WAS ABLE TO TRACK THE TRANSMISSION BY THE PART NUMBER AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS INSTALLED IN JULY 2016. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 51,477 MILES. THE ONE THAT JUST CAME OUT FAILED AT 52, 075 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO EXCEED 20 MPH WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (O'REILLY CHEVROLET 6160 E BROADWAY BLVD, TUCSON, AZ 85711 (520) 829-3876) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY CONTROL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATE 80,100. *DT*JB

WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR STREET THE CAR SEEMS THAT WANTS TO STOP AND FEEL THAT IS LOOSING POWER; THAN IT DOES LIKE A JUMPER AND KEEP GOING AND IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE DEALER SEEMS THAT DO NOT FIND ANYTHING. ALSO THE BACK DOOR OF THE CAR KEEP GETTING LOCK AND NOT ABLE TO OPEN

AFTER CONTINUED DRIVING FOR TEN MINUTES THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GARY MILLER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM 5746 PEACH ST, ERIE, PA 16509 (814) 868-3635 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A TRANSMISSION FLUSH WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 49,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING AT APPROX. 40 MPH, DASH LIGHTS CAME ON PWOER TRAIN SKID WARNING, 4WD, LIGHTNING ICON POWER DROPPED UNABLE TO GO MORE THAN 20 MPH EXTREMELY UNSAFE

WHILE RUNNING (CITY OR HIGHWAY) VEHICLE STALLS WHEN POWER REQUEST BY ACCELERATION. SEEMS LIKE A ROUGH NOISE WHEN AUTOMATIC SHIFT CHANGE, LOSING THE POWER.

THE PARTRIOT RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE TRAVELLING AT ANY SPEED. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND CAR HAS TO COAST TO A STOP. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HAVE NO CLUE AS TO HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR MANY JEEP OWNERS, NOT JUST PATRIOTS. JEEP / CHRYSLER HAS A MAJOR ISSUE AND WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR ADDRESS IT. IF THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING, THEY SHOULD BE PREPARED TO PAY FOR THEIR LACK OF ADDRESSING THIS CRITICAL ISSUE. IT TAKES LESS THAN A MINUTE TO SEARCH AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED WITH ENGINE STALLING ISSUES WITH JEEP AUTOMOBILES. I HOPE THE NHTSA WILL CONDUCT A THOROUGH REVIEW OF THESE ISSUES AND FORCE MORE ATTENTION TO BE GIVEN TO THE SERIOUS ISSUE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER AND NOW WE CAN'T LET HER DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. WE HAVE SPENT OVER $2K TRYING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR OTHER ASSISTANCE THAT JEEP CAN OR WILL OFFER.

DAUGHTER CALLED IN PANIC, JEEP WAS UNABLE TO ACCEPT FUEL WHILE PUMPING. I ADVISED HER TO TRY ANOTHER PUMP, STILL SAME PROBLEM. TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO GET 5 GALLONS OF FUEL IN JEEP FOR HER TO MAKE IT HOME. TOOK JEEP TO DEALERSHIP AND STATED THAT A SHUT OFF VALVE IN TANK HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ($1500 PARTS AND LABOR) AND DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM...WAIT WHAT, A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS? LESS THAN 50K MILES AND NEEDS A NEW TANK... DEALERSHIP SAID NOT A SAFETY ISSUE??? BEING STUCK ON I95 AT NIGHT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET GAS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE.

THE ENGINE STALLS SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING. IT ALSO HAS LOW OIL ENGINE PRESSURE. MY CAR MAKE AND MODEL WAS RECALLED, HOWEVER, MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUES RELATED TO THE RECALL.

DURING A ROAD TRIP, I WENT TO GAS UP MY JEEP AND THE PUMP WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PUT GAS IN THE CAR. I WAS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT STRANDED WITH NO GAS. I LATER WHEN TO SEVERAL OTHER GAS STATIONS SAME ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CURLER NECK WHICH WAS $180, WHEN THEY INSTALLED IT, THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE AS WELL. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY MENTIONED IT COULD BE THE FUEL TANK WHICH WAS $1200 OR THE EVAP SYSTEM WHICH IS $900 BUT THEY WEREN'T ENTIRELY SURE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS EITHER. I AM CURRENTLY USING A GAS CAN BUT THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE BECAUSE NOW IT WILL ONLY ALLOW ME TO PUT SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY.

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN HOME WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MY "LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT" CAME ON AND MY "FISH TAIL" LIGHT CAME ON THEN MY ENGINE STALLED IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT ON A BUSY ROAD. BUT I NORMALLY AM DRIVING THE INTERSTATE FOR WORK. (I WORK WITH PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, INCLUDING HAVING THEM IN MY VEHICLE.) THE CODE IS LETTING ME KNOW THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL IS BAD. I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND 2014 JEEP PATRIOTS HAVE THIS RECALL. BUT MY VIN SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT. THEREFORE I'M NOT SURE IF A DEALERSHIP WILL COVER IT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DEVASTATING ACCIDENT IF WE HAD BEEN ON A BUSY ROAD.

ANYTIME I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT JERKS AND SHUDDERS. SO I'LL BE IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY OR AT A LIGHT AND ONCE I START GOING THE JEEP WILL BE JUMPY AND NOT ACCELERATE. IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S ALMOST EVERY STOP AND I FEEL LIKE EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE WILL JUST STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A LIGHT. WHICH IS DEFINITELY IS A CONCERN BECAUSE I DRIVE WITH A 4 YEAR OLD MOST OF THE TIME. NO ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON SO THAT'S ALSO A CONCERN WHEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT'S NOT OKAY.

MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT VEHICLE STARTED TO LOOSE ENGINE POWER REALLY FAST AND STARTED TO JERK AND SLOW DOWN ON IT'S OWN BARELY ANY POWER. TWO DASH TROUBLE LIGHTS CAME ON. A ENGINE TROUBLE LIGHT AND A LIGHTING BOLT TROUBLE LIGHT BOTH CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY BARELY PULLED THE CAR INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT CLOSE BY. HAD I BEEN ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING A HIGHER SPEED AREA THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS ! I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR AFTER WAITING AND LUCKILY THERE WAS AN AUTO PARTS STORE NEARBY. UPON CHECKING THE DASH LIGHTS WITH THEIR COMPUTER UNIT IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS A FAILED THROTTLE CONTROL UNIT . AFTER IT WAS CHECKED A DAY LATER AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER IT WAS DETERMINED THE THROTTLE UNIT DID FAIL. SINCE I ONLY HAD 20K MILES BUT BEYOND THE 3 YEAR LIMIT WARRANTY THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A JEEP SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PART BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN MODIFIED FROM THE ORIGINAL. DUE TO THE MODIFICATION I HAD TO ALSO PURCHASE A NEW WIRE HARNESS EVEN THOUGH THE OLDER ONE WAS PROBABLY FINE BUT WOULDN'T FIT THE NEWER MODIFIED REPLACEMENT THROTTLE UNIT. WHEN THIS THROTTLE UNIT FAILS YOUR VEHICLE GETS NO GAS SO IT ALMOST SHUTS DOWN IMMEDIATELY ! IN CONFIDENCE I WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL DEALER MAINTENANCE PEOPLE THIS ISN'T A RARE PROBLEM, BUT THE CHRYSLERS JEEP CO. REFUSED TO ABSORB ANY LIABILITY OR PAYMENT TOWARD THIS REPLACEMENT REPAIR AFTER I CONTACTED THEM . THIS IS STRANGE THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN MODIFIED OR UPDATED .....WHY ? THE ORIGINAL UNIT IS DEFECTIVE IS MY GUESS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED ON ALL JEEP PRODUCTS BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS !

OUR 2014 JEEP PATRIOT CAME EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE AFFINITY TIRES . AT 19K MILES ALL 4 TIRES WOULD NOT PASS PA. INSPECTION AND NEEDED REPLACED. THESE TIRES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD TO ANYONE WITHOUT CONSTANT INSPECTIONS OF TREADS. EVEN FOLLOWING PROPER ROTATIONS AND AIR INFLATION REGULATIONS THEY WERE SHOT ! TOTAL JUNK AND VERY UNSAFE TIRES ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN WINTERY STATES. I REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND OF SAFER TIRES....NEVER AGAIN WILL I TRUST FIRESTONE TIRES!

WHEN DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOIT SPORT IT SUDDENLY KINDA JERKS AND WANTS TO STALL LIKE ITS CHOKING. OR NOT GETTING GAS. THIS HAPPENS ON REGULAR ROADS, AND HIGHWAYS. ESPECIALLY AFTER TURNING EVEN SLIGHTLY. EVERYTHING I HAVE READ SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS PERTAINING TO THIS. BUT WHEN I LOOK UP MY VIN. IT SAYS MY CAR HAS NO OPEN RECALLS. COULD IT BE THAT IT WAS RECALLED AND FIXED INCORRECTLY? OR HAVE U JUST NOT RECALLED MY JEEP YET? IT'S PRETTY SCARY AND ALL THE MECHANICS WHO LOOK AT IT, SAY THEY CAN'T DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BECAUSE NOTHING POPS UP WHEN THEY HOOK IT TO DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. IT IS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE. I LOVE MY CAR. BUT LATELY I FEEL NERVOUS DRIVING IT. FOR FEAR IT WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER WHILE ON BUSY HIGHWAY. SO I AVOID THEM AT ALL COST. WILL TRY TO INVEST MORE MONEY TO TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM AFTER TAX TIME, BUT THIS IS AN ISSUE I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFOR. I WROTE A DATE THIS HAPPENED IN THE DATE FIELD BECAUSE IT WAS REQUIRED. BUT IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE. AT ANY SPEED.

HAVING ISSUES WITH JEEP STALLS WHEN DRIVING. HAS COUPLE RECALLS TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS. DEALER SAID IT WAS FIXED AND STILL HAVE SAME ISSUE.

THE HORN STOPPED WORKING ON THIS CAR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AGO. I LOOKED FOR A FUSE OR RELAY AND DISCOVERED ON THE WEB THAT THIS WAS A COMMON CHRYSLER PROBLEM ACROSS ALL PRODUCTS. I REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING WHICH APPEARED TO BE IDENTIFIED AS MOST PROBABLE PROBLEM ON THE WEB; NOT SO. TWO MONTHS AGO I WENT TO THE DEALER AND SAID FOR $150 THEY WOULD IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE HORN ITSELF WORKED, WHICH I TESTED. I TOOK THE STEERING WHEEL APART ONCE AGAIN AND TRACED THE TWO OPERATIONAL HORN WIRES BACK TO THE THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED CRUISE CONTROL MODULE. FOR GRINS I WENT TO THE LOCAL SERVICE YARD AND OBTAINED SAID MODULE. REPLACED THE MODULE AND NOW THE HORN WORKS. FIRST, WHY WOULD THE HORN CIRCUIT BE SO CONVOLUTED SINCE A RELAY AND FUSE WAS THE NORM SINCE THE 1940'S. SECOND, FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, THE COMMON ITEMS NEEDED TO BE WORKING IN A CAR ARE HORN, LIGHTS, BRAKES; THESE ARE COMMON MINIMUM INSPECTION ITEMS. CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE GOOD AND REPAIR/ REPLACE CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS MAJOR FAILURE COULD HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES BECAUSE THE MINDSET OF MOST BACKYARD MECHANICS IS THAT THEY CAN FIX IT AND MANY HAVE CONCEDED FAILURE AND HAVE PUT A HORN BUTTON ON THE DASH AND WIRED TO A BETTER HORN , FUSE AND RELAY. CHECK THE WEB AND YOU CAN SEE THE MULTITUDE OF TRAFFIC ON THE CHRYSLER HORN PROBLEMS. I TRIED TO GET WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR THIS CAR WHICH COST $100 BUT I STOPPED WHEN I FOUND THAT THEY WERE NOT COMPLETE. I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER LIKE PROBABLY ALL MANUFACTURERS HAVE LET THE ELECTRONICS TAKE OVER COMMON SENSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, MALFUNCTION, AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO ACTIVE RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO CALL NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,550.

VOLTAGE LIGHT COMES ON AND JEEP GOES INTO "LIMP MODE", BASICALLY LOSES ALL POWER. COSTING $1000.00 PLUS 2 TOWING FEES TO GET FIXED. ONLY 85,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH, I'VE FOUND THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

THE HOUSING THAT HOLDS THE SEATBELT TO THE SIDE OF THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HAS COME LOOSE. THERE APPEARS TO BE A BOLT MISSING AND SOME PLASTIC HAS BROKEN OFF. THIS IS CAUSING THE HOUSING TO NOT BE SECURED TO THE SEAT.

DRIVER SIDE HEAD REST POP OPEN VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE!

WHILE DRIVING THE ESC CAME ON REDUCING MY ABILITY TO DRIVE AT NORMAL SPEEDS I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 15 - 20 MPH TO GET JEEP BACK HOME...I BOUGHT THIS USED JEEP PATRIOT 9 MONTHS AGO...WHY KEEP MAKING CAR PAYMENTS ON IT?. NO RECALL FOR THIS AS OTHERS HAVE HAD SAME ISSUE IN THEIR JEEP PATRIOTS...I HAD A BABY IN JEEP TOO...I MIGHT AS WELL LET BANK TAKE IT BACK AS I DON'T HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY OR MONEY FOR REPAIRS...

I HAVE A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT SPORT 2.0L 4CYL WUTH A CVT TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT IT USED CERTIFIED IN FEB 2018. ABOUT A MONTH INTO OWNING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO BUCK AND JERK. THE CAR SHAKES WHILE ON IDLE AND THERE IS A LOUD HELICOPTER SOUND COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR. I TOOK TO TO 3 DIFFERENT JEEP DEALER AND NOBODY COULD TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS HAPPENED AS I TURNED ON MY STREET TO GO HOME. I HAD TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND IT TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FIRING ANY CODES NOR WAS THERE ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPEND ON AUGUST 18, 2019 DRVING HOME FROM A CAMPING TRIP. I HAD 2 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WITH ME.THE CAR BUCKS AND JERKS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLS WHILE IM DRVING THE SPEED LIMIT AT 60 MPH. THANKFULLY I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT. AFTER BEING ALL SHAKEN UP, AGAIN I HAD WAITIED A FEW MINUTES AND CAR STARTED AND DROVE AS IF NOTING HAPPEND. IT WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST THINGS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO LOCAL MECHANICS AND THEY DINT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH IT. SO I AM CURRENTLY DRVING MY CAR AND WONDERING WHEN THE CAR WILL STALL AGAIN. IT STILL BUCKS AND JERKS, FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL SO I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDDLE AND THAT SEEMS TO HELP. I NO LONGER DRIVE THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AS I AM SCARED TO DEATH OF GETTING INTO A CAR ACCIDENT. I STRICTLY USE THIS CAR TO TRAVEL TO AND FROM WORK. I AM TIRED OF SENDING THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIPS AND MECHANICS WITH NO RESOLUTIONS. I WANT TO TRADE THIS CAR IN, BUT AM AFRAID FOR THE NEXT PERSON. I THINK THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD PERIOD!!

TAKATA RECALL: AS YOU DRIVE THIS VEHICLE THE ENGINE WILL SLIGHTLY STALL OUT AND HICCUP. ALSO CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO JITTER SLIGHTLY BUT NOTICEABLY SO. IT DOES IT WHETHER ITS HOT, COLD REGARDLESS. I FEEL AS IF THIS VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE ENGINE RECALL BECAUSE IT DOES STALL AND STUTTER WHILE DRIVING.

MANY, MANY TIMES THIS JEEP HAS OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING UP STEEP GRADES AND ALL POWER SHUTS DOWN THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPS.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND PARKING LOT VEHICLE STARTED TO RUN EXTREMELY ROUGH ALMOST TO THE POINT OF STALLING. BECAME VERY HARD TO DRIVE INCLUDING LOOSING STEARING AND BRAKE FUNCTION CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOOSE CONTROL AND COMING TO A STOP INTO A BUSH. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ON THE DASH AT THE TIME, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ELECTRIC SYMBOL. DEALER STATED THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS A COMMON REPAIR THEY HAD SEEN MANY TIMES. WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WHICH LEFT ME WITH A $1000 REPAIR BILL. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. CALLED UP JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WERE COMPLETELY UNWILLING TO COVER ANY COSTS OF THE REPAIR OR ADMIT THERE WAS ANY ISSUE. THANKFULLY THIS ISSUE DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT.

WIFE AND DAUGHTER WAS IN A 8CAR ACCIDENT AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF HIT FROM THE BACK AND PUSHED INTO OTHER CARS AND NONE OF AIRBAGS WENT OFF .BOTH OF THEM WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND WE SPENT ALL DAY IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

CAR LOOSE ACELERATION ,STALL AND A LIGTH CAME ON IN DASH BOARD ON A CITY ST

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY THE RPM'S WILL DROP DOWN TO 0 AND WITHIN 1-3 SECONDS IT POPS BACK UP TO NORMAL RANGE. SOMETIMES IT KILLS WHILE DRIVING. UNKNOWN REASON. HAVE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COILS HOPING TO FIND THE CAUSE.

THROTTLE TRACK AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND OFF. CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE NO MORE THAN 30 RPM WHEN IT HAPPENS IT MAY ALSO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WHEN FOOT ON BREAK .

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT BEGAN TO GO OFF. RPMS WERE RUNNING HIGHER THAN NORMAL. AFTER THE SENSOR TRIGGERED TWICE, NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN RMPS RUNNING HIGH. 5 DAYS AFTER THE INITIAL WARNING LIGHT, UPON STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND RESUMING ACCELERATION, CHECK ENGINE CAME ON, THEN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, THEN TRACTION CONTROL. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE CAR HAD TO DECELERATE OR STOP AND THE RPMS DROPPED BELOW 1. AT ONE POINT, IT STALLED. I HAD TO PULL OVER, STOP THE CAR AND RESTART IT. IF YOU WERE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH CONTINUOUS GAS THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSTIC REPAIR IS THE THROTTLE BODY HOUSING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

AFTER BEING PARKED FOR THREE OR FOUR DAYS, I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND HEADREST FELT WRONG. WAS NOT DRIVING YET. JUST SITTING IN SEAT. A QUICK INSPECTION SHOWED THAT THE DRIVER'S HEADREST HAD SPONTANEOUSLY ACTIVATED WHILE PARKED, LEAVING IT SPLIT IN TWO PIECES. THE VEHICLE, OF COURSE, IS FIVE YEARS AND ONE MONTH OLD, SO OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS WILL BE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR OF THIS MANDATORY SAFETY EQUIPMENT THAT IS DEFECTIVE. ALSO DANGEROUS IF IT HAD DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING IN SEAT. SHOULDN'T THIS BE SUBJECT TO AN INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLE RECALL?

I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY THROTTLE BODY UNIT ON THIS CAR AT 75,000 MILES. THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. 3 LIGHTS CAME ON: THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR (CHECK ENGINE), AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. MY CAR COULD NOT SURPASS 30 MPH WHICH WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR WAS JERKY AND WOULD JERK FORWARD EVEN WHEN BRAKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING/KNOWN ISSUE. I BELIEVE A RECALL OF THIS SPECIFIC PART IS NEEDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THE FUEL SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ECM SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANSONE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (100, 90 US-1, AVENEL, NJ 07001, (732) 815-2424) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,299. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE SPEED SUDDENLY REDUCED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HEARN STEIN JEEP (215 WEST EMMITT AVE, WAVERLY, OH) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

WOW, JUST WOW!! ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. MINE IS AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP GETTING A NEW THROTTLE BODY KIT. (600$$)....I AM NOT SURE IF I EVER WANT TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. LOST POWER AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON IN S CURVES ON A RURAL ROAD...HAD TO CREEP AT 10 MILES AND HOUR HOPING TO GET OFF THE ROAD. NO RECALLS ARE CRAZY CONSIDERING ALL THE COMPLAINTS.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT IT HAS 20,456 MILES. THE LAST SIX MONTH I HAVE HAD REPAIRS ON FUEL TANK, FIRST ONE LAST ABOUT 3 MONTH THE LAST ONE DON IN JULY 2019 LASTED 2 DAYS. I CAN'T FILL MY TANK. IT WILL PUT A LITTLE GAS IN AND THEN CUT OFF. THESE REPAIRS HAVE COST ME 125.OO EA TIME . THIS WOULD BE OK IF IT WORKED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH AIR CONDITION RUNNING. I HEAR AN ELECTRICAL SOUND THAT REMINDS ME OF A REMOTE CONTROL CAR. MY JEEP THEN PROCEEDS TO OVERHEAT AND STALLS WHILE I'M DRIVING . I HAVE TO SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 15-20 MINUTES THEN TRY TO DRIVE AGAIN . THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES MOST RECENTLY MEMORIAL WEEKEND 2019. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG

EVERY SUMMER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR THE CVT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVE 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. SEVERAL TIMES MY VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER AND IM FORCED TO THE ROADSIDE TO WAIT UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. IT HAPPENED TO ME IN CHICAGO ONCE WHERE THERE IS NO SHOULDER TO THE THRUWAY AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE KILLED. IVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD NO RESOLVE. THE CAR HAS CURRENTLY BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND IVE ALSO BEEN DEALING WITH JEEP CUSTOMER CAR AND ALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME IS THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IM LOST AT THIS POINT. I THINK THIS MAY FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW BUT JEEP WILL NOT WORK ON ANYTHING WITH ME. PLEASE HELP

ENGINE STARTED TO OVERHEAT AFTER A WEEKEND DRIVE. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AS WE WERE PARKING. TOOK IT IN TO GET COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACED, COOLANT FLUSH, AND THERMOSTATS REPLACED. COME TO FIND OUT THE HEAD GASKET BLEW AND DAMAGED THE PISTON RINGS. I NEED A NEW ENGINE! THERE WAS NO WARNING OF HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURES UNTIL 5 SECONDS BEFORE WE PARKED! CAR WAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED. THE ENGINE HAD 79,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE SPORADICALLY. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER, WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES, AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL THROTTLE INDICATOR AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GREENWAY MOTORS (300 BEDFORD RD, MORRIS, IL 60450, (815) 942-3400) WHERE IT UNDERWENT SEVERAL UNKNOWN REPAIRS, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DISCLOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,625.

JEEP WAS SKIPPING WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN, IT WAS JUST MOVE SLOWLY. I BROUGHT IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST , HE TOOK IT OUT OF MY CAR FOR DIAGNOSTIC BECAUSE HE CLAIMED HE COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM BY DRIVING OR COMPUTER. CHARGED $840 AND STATED THE TRANSMISSION COULD NOT BE REPAIRED IT HAD TO BE REBUILT. I COULD NOT AFFORD THE PRICE QUOTED. THEY PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN MY TRUNK.

I WENT TO START MY CAR AND THERE WAS NO POWER EVEN WITH A JUMP. AFTER REPLACING THE STARTER, BATTERY, RELAYS, EGINITION SWITCH, THERMOSTATS, ALTER ALTERNATOR AND THROTTLE BODY THE ISSUE CONTINUED. ON THE HWY THE TEMP LIGHT COMES ON AND HAS ISSUES ACCELERATING AND WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT CLICK SEEMS LIKE IT'S NOT GOING TO START AND FINALLY DOES. THE BATTERY LIGHT STAYS ON. AND JUST OVER ALL JERKY AND LIGHTS DIM.

MY CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD. DURING HIGHWAY DRIVES (1-2 HOURS), THE ENGINE STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND IS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE.

THE ROLL-OVER CHECK VALVE IN THE GAS TANK BECOMES STUCK OPEN AND THE GAS TANK WILL NOT FILL. IF THE CAR ROLLS OVER, ALL THE GAS WOULD SPILL OUT. THE ONLY FIX ACCORDING TO JEEP IS FOR ME TO PAY $1600 FOR A NEW GAS TANK FOR A PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS WITH NORMAL USE OF THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY DECELERATED TO 10 MPH AND EXPERIENCED AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER. AFTER THE DECELERATION OCCURRED, THE CHECK ENGINE, TRACTION, AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LINDSAY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (8100 CENTREVILLE RD, MANASSAS, VA 20111, (888) 241-6888) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS SAME PART HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

I ACCELERATED UP TO 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET AND THEN COASTED UP TO TRAFFIC AND WAS SLOWING DOWN, AT THE LIGHT AND MY CAR ALL THE SUDDEN TURNED ON 3 LIGHTS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TROTTLE POSITION LIGHT. I STOPPED MY CAR AT THE LIGHT AND ONCE I DID THE CAR JERKED FORWARD SENDING ME INTO THE INTERSECTION. LUCKY NO ONE WAS COMING BUT I ENDED UP HAVING TO RUN THE RED LIGHT BECAUSE MY CAR JERK FORWARD AGAIN AND ONCE I GAVE IT GAS IT ONLY GOT WORSE. I PULLED OFF INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED MY CAR ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES TO RESET THE COMPUTER. IT FINALLY DID AFTER TURNING IT ON AND OFF FIVE TIMES. ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. SO I TRIED TO DRIVE IT TO WORK AND ONCE I DROVE DOWN THE CITY ROAD A LITTLE WAYS (MAYBE A MILE). THE CAR JERKED AND ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT UP AND THEN DOWNSHIFTED AND MY ENGINE THEN REVED TO FIVE THOUSAND RPM. AND ALL THE LIGHTS TURNED BACK ON AND MY CAR JERK VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH. THE RPM'S STAYED AT THREE TO FOUR THOUSAND REVING MY ENGINE NEEDLESSLY. I FINALLY PULLED OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A SHOP. THE JEEP CERTIFIED MECHANIC REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE HEARD OF A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE

BOUGHT WITH 33000 MILES. THE BRAKES MAKE LOUD NOISE WHEN BACKING UP FIRST DRIVE OF THE DAY.

2014 JEEP PATRIOT IS STALLING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY UPHILL. IT IS ALSO STALLING AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATING AGAIN. WHILE GOING UPHILL RECENTLY THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED TO CLIMB UPHILL. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE HAS NOT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT YET. THIS MOSTLY HAPPENS ON CITY STREET HOWEVER WHEN GETTING ONTO THE ON RAMP IT SPUTTERS TO ACCELERATE SOMETIMES AND ALSO IF TRAFFIC COMES TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY AND I TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. I HAVE COMPLETED REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR SO THIS HAS COME OUT OF NOWHERE. I SEE PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE WHICH COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL BUT I'M NOT SURE IF MY VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THIS RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY ON A SIDE STREET NEAR A PARK. I MADE A U-TURN AND AS I FINISHED COMING OUT OF THE TURN, MY VEHICLE ENGINE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF OF THE ROAD. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.

MY JEEP PATRIOT IS 5 YEARS OLD AND ALREADY I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY GO BAD, STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH JERKED ME AND MY PASSENGER, HAD IT REPLACED ALSO THE ABS MODULE CONTROL WHICH ALSO GAVE OUT 2 MONTHS LATER WHILE I WAS DRIVING, VERY DANGEROUS, CAR STILL NOT RUNNING GOOD!! CAR SAT FOR 3 MONTHS AFTER INCIDENT

MY CAR ISN'T EVEN 5 YEARS OLD AND THE LIGHTENING BOLT COMES ON AND MY CAR SLOWS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. IT TAKES AT LEAST TWO TRIES TO TURN THE CAR ON BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STARTS AND NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE LIGHTENING BOLT COMES ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WILL JERK AND WON'T GO MORE THAN 35 AND WON'T RESPOND TO ACCELERATING. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE AND SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING WITH A CAR LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD.

5 / 6 MONTHS BACK COLD DAY --2 F TEMP ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME FOR 2 MIN AND THEN NEVER CAME BACK TILL THIS WEEK MONDAY 3 & TUESDAY 4, 2019 . WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MILES ON HIGHWAY 6 FROM HOME TO OFFICE . CERTAINLY ENGINE LOST POWER I WAS WORRIED CAN HIT OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD . I MY JEEP ON 1/3/2015 HAVE ONLY 20217 MILES . THEN YESTERDAY I TOOK MY BAXTER JEEP DEALER 17950 BURT STREET OMAHA NE 68118 .. THEY DID COVER MY REPAIR AND PARTS REPLACEMENT COST UNDER JEEP WARRANTY . THEY CHARGE MY $ 716. 63 BAXTER REPLACED CPC 68420395AB T/BODY -KIT & 4884551AA GASKET -THROTTLE BODY $631.31 PLUS TAX TOTAL $ 716.63 THEY CHARGED FROM ME. I FEEL JEEP SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR RECALL AND MY EXPENSES PLEASE BE GIVEN BACK TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AS THIS WAS NOT MY MISTAKE . ITS JEEP COMPANY SHOULD MAKE ASSURE THIS JEEP NOT HAVE THIS DEFECTIVE AGAIN IN ANY OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. EVERY MUST BE SAFE WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD . I CAN NOT TAKE THAT RICK FOR MY LIFE AND LIFE OTHER DRIVER WHILE DRIVING . PLEASE RECALL ALL JEEP AS OF MY MODEL . AND CHECK THESE DEFECT FREE UNDER RECALL SYSTEM.

MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. WHEN ON THE FREEWAY IT WILL RANDOMLY LOSE ACCELERATION AT 60 MILES/HR AND THE POWER WILL DROP DOWN TO 40 CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY VEHICLE. I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND AS I BEGAN TO TAKE OFF THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 OR 10 MILES/HR AND I WOULD HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART. ONCE I HAVE RESTARTED MY VEHICLE IT WILL START AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY SEMI TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY AND SEVERAL OTHER SEVERAL TIMES WITH KIDS AND OTHERS FAMILY MEMBERS IN MY VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS TO NOT ONLY MY SELF, BUT ANYONE ON THE ROAD WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN MY AUTOMOBILE TO THE SHOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE IT ON DEMAND. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SITUATION AND I ONLY PRAY THAT SOMEONE WITH A MORE AUTHORITY WILL TAKE A STANCE AND GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. MEANWHILE, I AM HAVING TO SPEND UNNECESSARY MONEY ON RENTAL CARS, WHILE PAYING A CAR NOTE. THIS IS UNHEARD OF AND I AM PRAYING THAT A LIFE WILL NOT BE LOST DUE TO THIS PROBLEM NOT BEING RESOLVED! MY DATE BELOW IS GIVE OR TAKE BECAUSE I CAN REMEMBER EACH TIME THIS JEEP HAS ACTED UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE.

WHEN TURNING ON A HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP IT . I ALMOST HIT A TREE THE VEHICLE SLOWED AFTER HITTING THE ISLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED HAD IT REPLACED THE VEHICLE HAS 35000 MILES ON IT VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION

PCM NEEDING TO BE 'UPDATED' AND NOW MY CAR IS STOPPING WHILE DRIVING. THE BATTERY, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ENGINE LIGHT ALL WENT OFF AT THE SAME TIME AND STOPPED MY CAR. LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 20MPH. HOW DANGEROUS!! READ ONLINE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND JEEP HASN'T MADE THIS A RECALL YET? WHAT A SHAME. PATHETIC. HAPPENED 5/17/19 THOUGH THIS FILE ISN'T ACCEPTING 2019 DATES..???

WHEN I WAS STOPPING ARE RED LIGHT WITH FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE CAR ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN. IF I HAD NOT PRESSED BRAKE HARDER I WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT.

ENGINE THROTTLE COMPONENT LIGHT CAME ON GOING APPR. 45 MPH. IDLING WHILE DRIVING. PATRIOT AT 85,000 MILES.

MY ENGINE HAD BEEN ON FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING THE RED FLASH LIGHT CAME ON WHICH WHEN I READ MY MANUAL, IT'S MY ETC. MY JEEP STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED MY JEEP OFF AND READ MY MANUAL. IT STATED I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND GET IT SERVICE. I DROVE IT HOME. AS I READ THE COMPLAINTS ON HERE FOR THE SAME THING, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL OR SHOULD BE NOW, BECAUSE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IF IT ACCELERATES ON IT'S ON AND CAN'T STOP.

MY DAUGHTER WAS GOING 30 MPH IN HER JEEP OVER A BRIDGE. THE CAR INFRONT OF HER STOPPED SUDDENLY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP DUE TO ICE AND HIT THE CAR INFRONT OF HER.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ESPECIALLY WHEN GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY CAR JUMPS AND WILL NOT GO. RED LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL COMES ON THE DASHBOARD. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. ALSO SEEMS TO BE GETTING A LOT WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STARTED LOSING ACCELERATION AND POWER. THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO SUGGESTED THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ZEIGLER CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (3939 STADIUM DR, KALAMAZOO, MI 49008, (269) 743-4142) WHERE IT TOOK SEVERAL DAYS TO BE SERVICED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE ENGINE CONTAINED DEBRIS, WHICH CAUSED IT TO SEIZE. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER REGARDING THE NEXT STEPS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,100.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT, THE CAR STARTED LOSING POWER WHILE ACCELERATING UPHILL, IT ALSO VEERED OFF THE ROAD, LIKE IT WAS STEERING ITSELF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A RED LIGHTNING BOLT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THANKFULLY I WASN'T FAR FROM MY MECHANIC AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO MY MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A THROTTLE BODY. THIS COULD BE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SPEED SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. MOMENTS LATER, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRIENDSHIP CHRYSLER JEEP (2638 W. STATE ST, BRISTOL, TN) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE THROTTLE SYSTEM WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

JEEP STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERANT SPEEDS WITH OUT WARNING. MY JEEP HAS DONE THIS MANEY TIMES WETHER GOING 60 OR 40 ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN A SMALL TOWN. HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT IT THEY HAD IT FOR A HOUR AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT .HAS DONE IT SINCE THEN MENY TIMES.

I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE. THE THROTTLE LIGHTNING BOLT FLASHES, CAR WONT SHIFT OR DO MORE THAN 35. IT WONT RESPOND TO ACCELERATING. IT JERKS ALL OVER THE PLACE WHEN AT A LOW SPEED. I WENT OFF OF THE ROAD IN THE SNOW BUT WAS OK. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT KICKED INTO A LOWER GEAR, JERKED AND THE CAR SLID. YOU ARE GOING TO GET PEOPLE KILLED IGNORING THIS AND NOW HERE IS WRITTEN PROOF THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. DO HEAR THAT, CHRYSLER? BECAUSE YOURE ABOUT TO.

I WAS DRIVING 60MPH AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT KICK ON. JEEP DROPS DOWN TO 40 MPH AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE, GOING UPHILL IT DROPS TO ABOUT 20 MPH. IF YOU GO TO STOP WHEN THESE LIGHTS ARE ON THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD AND IT HARD IDLES. THROWS CODES OF ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MALFUNCTION. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND DEALER RECOMMENDS NOT DRIVING IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

SAME COMPLAIN AS EVERYONE ELSE. MY JEEP PATRIOT 2014 SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTED JERKING WHILE DRIVING NOT ALLOWING ME TO ACCELERATE. THREE LIGHTS CAME ON THE THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT, ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY MY SELF AND I WANT MY DANG RECALL OR A LAWSUIT FILED BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND LIFES ARE INVOLVED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACING AFTER SUDDENLY LOSING POWER TO THE VEHICLE. THE RED LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE. SIMPLE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, YET JEEP WANTS OVER $800 TO REPLACE IT. THIS IS TRULY DECEPTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED ON ALL VEHICLES WITHOUT COST PARTICULARLY GIVEN HOW DANGEROUS OF A SITUATION IT CREATES WITHOUT ADVANCED WARNING.

WHEN DRIVING, CAR WILL SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN, AND THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT WILL COME ON AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. IT WILL BE FINE FOR A COUPLE DAYS, AND THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE ISSUE WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS TO WHERE I LOSE CONTROL IS UNKNOWN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE, AND HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I SEE A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I ONLY HAVE 51,000 MILES ON MY CAR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

I'VE HAD 3 FUEL PUMPS REPLACED AND COUNTLESS TIMES MY CAR HASN'T STARTED JUST BECAUSE LIKE NOW, WHICH BROUGHT ME HERE. THIS NEEDS A RECALL IMMEDIATELY BUT EVERY TIME I LOOK THERE ISN'T ONE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2014 AND IT STILL ONLY HAS 45,539 MILES ON IT. A WEEK AGO I STARTED MY CAR & THEN IT TURNED OFF. LUCKILY I WAS AT I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY SO WITH ALL OF THIS WE NEED A RECALL.

I HAVE A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE THAT HAS 48100 MILES ON IT . ITS WAS FINE UP UNTIL KNOW WHERE IT WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING AND SHUT DOWN AND THE STABILITY LIGHT WOULD COME ON . I WOULD PULL OVER AND THE CAR WOULD RESTART . IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT AND ITS SCARY NOT TO KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN . SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED . JEEP SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THE CARS AND FIX THE PROBLEM . THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING A CORNER AND ON STREETS AND THEN WENT TO STALL OUT ON A HIGHWAY.

MY JEEP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS NOW HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. THE MOMENTS I'M IN TRAFFIC ARE LUCKY, BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, I LOST MY S@$T. I WAS IN A VERY SCARY SITUATION AND EXTREMELY LUCKY TO HAVE HAD PULLED AWAY WITHOUT BEING OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I'M IN TRAFFIC, AT SLOW MOVING SPEEDS, AND ON THE FREEWAY, INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT WILL KICK BACK ON BEFORE I HAVE TO PULL OFF. BUT ALWAYS IN TRAFFIC IF IT HAPPENS IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. NO REAL PATTERN AT ALL, JUST RANDOM.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE A RED LIGHNING BOLT APPEARS ON MY DASH THAN I AM UNABLE TO GAS THE VEHICLE. THAN THE LIGHT TURNS OFF AND THE CAR IS NORMAL UNTIL IT NEEDS TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THAN THE PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AGAIN. THE LIGHT IS NOT ON LONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO USE A CODE READER TO BE ABLE TO FIND OUT THE ISSUR AT HAND. IF IT IS A SENOR OR SOMETHING WITH THE THROTTLE OR BOTH. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE BUT ONLY ONCE THIS TIME IT HAS BEEN A CONTINOUS ON AND OFF SITUATION THAT I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE COMFORTABLY.

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, AND THE ELECTRICAL INDICATOR CAME ON AS WELL AS POWER REDUCED DOWN TO 25-30 MILES PER HOUR DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR. DROVE CAR ON SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY UNTIL CLOSEST EXIT FOR SAFETY. TOWED VEHICAL TO MECHANIC, AND THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED.

I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING MY DEALERSHIP SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED ON MY VEHICLE SINCE 2017. EVERY TIME I CALL I AM ADVISED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX MY VEHICLE, TO CALL BACK. WELL IT HAS BEEN ALMOST TWO YEARS AND I AM STILL TRYING TO HAVE THIS RECALLED ISSUE FIXED. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DECEMBER OF 2017 WHERE MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

TKATA RECALL. I OWN A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WHICH STARTED JUST A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT NEW. THE FIRST ISSUE WAS THE TRANSMISSION HOSE CAME OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL AND I WAS NEARLY UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR TO GET PULLED OVER. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE HOSE CLAMP, FILLED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RELEASED IT BACK TO ME. HAD I KNOWN WHAT HELL I WOULD BE DEALING WITH AFTERWARDS I WOULD HAVE NEVER BROUGHT IT BACK HOME. I NOW HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES (I BELIEVE). THE CAR WILL OVERHEAT WITHIN MINUTES OF DRIVING IT. I HAVE NO HEAT. THE ETC LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW A CONSTANT. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO MANY TIMES TO COUNT NOW AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. JEEP HAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE AND STATES THAT THERE ARE NO OTHER ISSUES LIKE MINE, BUT WHEN I LOOK AT BLOGS THERE ARE THOUSANDS. I FEEL DOOPED BY JEEP. THIS COMPLAINT IS MY LAST RESORT BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE THIS CAR BUT THE AMOUNT I OWE AND BEING THAT THIS CAR IS OF ZERO VALUE DUE TO ALL OF THE ISSUES, IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TRADE IN. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF, AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEITH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM ABERDEEN (910-944-7115, LOCATED AT 11049 US-15, ABERDEEN, NC 28315) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

OUR JEEP STARTED TO RANDOMLY STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING. WE PULLED THE CODE AND SAYS WE NEED TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER.

REMOVE AND REPLACE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY DUE TO FAULTY CHECK VALVE CAUSING ENABILITY TO FILL TANK WITHOUT CLICKING OFF AND SPITTING FUEL BACK AT YOU. NO EMISSIONS CODE.

THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT HAS FAILED. THE STEEL PIN WHICH HOLDS THE RESTRAINT IN THE CLOSED/SET POSITION TORE THROUGH THE PLASTIC THAT IS DESIGNED TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. THE SYSTEM HAS NOT DEPLOYED, BUT HAS RELEASED BECAUSE OF A MATERIAL FAILURE, AND CAN NOT BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, UNOCCUPIED, PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, ENGINE OFF, AND THE KEY IN THE HOUSE. HAD I BEEN DRIVING WHEN THE PLASTIC FAILED, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE GETTING RANDOMLY PUNCHED IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHILE MOVING DOWN THE ROAD, CREATING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED THE PASSENGER SEAT COULD HAVE THE SAME FAILURE AND INJURE MY WIFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, AN UNUSUAL NOISE WAS HEARD AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE ACTIVE HEAD REST ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FRACTURED AND ACTIVATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROBERT LOEHR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM SRT AND FIAT (770-382-5885, LOCATED AT 567 E MAIN ST, CARTERSVILLE, GA 30121) WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THE VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,002.

ALREADY ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 70 MPH, I NOTICED THAT IT WAS HARDER TO ACCELERATE. I WAS PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND MY JEEP WAS NOT PICKING UP ANY SPEED. THE TACHOMETER WAS PUSHING THE LINE IN READ BETWEEN 7 & 8 AS I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE. COUPLE DAYS LATER DRIVING IN TOWN, IT DID IT AGAIN ONLY IT TOOK AWHILE TO ACCELERATE AND GET TO 30-40 MPH. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO AUTO-ZONE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. THEY TOLD ME TO UNPLUG THE BATTERY AND HAVE IT SIT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS TO SEE IF THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME OFF. WEEK LATER I'M STILL STUCK WITHOUT MY VEHICLE. REPORTED IT TO MOPAR AND THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT FIXED. MY JEEP ONLY HAS UNDER 90K MILES ON IT. I'M HOPING THIS ISSUE BECOMES A RECALL BEING THAT THE STORIES HAVE BEGUN TO SURFACE LATE NOVEMBER 2018.

WHILE DRIVING, THROTTLE SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT. TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND ENGINE BEGINS TO FLUTTER TO WHERE IT WANTS TO STALL. HAVE TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE JEEP OFF AND ATTEMPT TO REGAIN POWER, TO WHICH THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ON 50-60 MILES AN HOUR . PROBLEM ACCELERATING OVER 60 MILES WITHOUT A LOUD NOISE. THE NOISE ROSE SO LOUD I THOUGHT I HAD A HOLE IN THE EXHAUST PIPE. OF CORSS THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE ANY KNOWEDGE OF WHATS GOING ON BUT I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE JEEP COMPLAINT CITE. TOOK MY CARE IN TO A MUFFLER REPAIR SHOP THINKING I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE EXHAUST AND IT TURNS OUT THERE MAY BE SOMETHING WRO G WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T EVEN HAVE 46,000 MILES ON MY CAR YET. PLEASE ORDER A RECALL ON THIS MATTER. DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY. THANKS

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.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR BEGAN JERKING AND THE THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND MY CAR LOST POWER UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS CAR, THE FIRST TIME BEING 1 YEAR PRIOR COMING DOWN A MOUNTAIN. IT WAS FIXED AND NOW HERE I AM AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM!

MY CAR IS NOT STARTING. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS YEAR THAT I HAD TO BRING IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE RED BOLT GOES ON LAST TWO TIMES AND I WAS ON THE ROAD DRIVING AND IT SLOWED DOWN. THIS TIME IT WON'T WORK. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP TWICE ALREADY AND IT'S LESS THAN TWO MONTHS APART. THIRD TIME HAPPENING NOW.

JEEP SLOWED DOWN TO 20 MPH ENGINE LIGHT, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WAS ON INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME .PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED JEEP AND WENT ON VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ROUGH LIGHTS STILL ON GOT TO EXIT . AND WENT TO AUTO STORE THEY CHECKED THE CODES AND TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THROTTLE BODY AND GASKET AND THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED COST OF 490.43 THE DEALER AUTO STORE CODE MACHINE READ INVALID DATA RECEIVED FROM ENGINE CONTROL MODULE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE A. COMFIMED

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN 2014 JEEP PATRIOT THE BOLT LIGHT(ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) CAME ON AND I LOST VEHICLE SPEED RAPIDLY ALMOST AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT SEEMED FINE BUT NOW IT JUST BLINKS ON OCCASION AND I LOSE SPEED WHEN IT COMES ON. I WONT TRAVEL ON HIGHWAY ANYMORE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. I TOOK VEHICLE TO AUTO SHOP AND THEY SAID I NEED A NEW ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT. ITS DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELLING BECAUSE YOU JUST SUDDENLY LOSE SPEED.

AS I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD DISPLAY THE ETC AND MALFUNCTION MIL LIGHTS ON DASH AND ABRUPTLY STOP RUNNING ! THIS HAPPENED MORE THAN 7 TIMES WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. I WAS ALMOST KILLED WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING 60ISH MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO COAST OVER. AFTER GETTING CAR TOWED TO JEEP DEALER, I SAW OTHER PATRIOTS THERE EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEM. I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 30K MILES YET HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE TOTALLING OVER $850. NOW, A FEW MONTHS LATER AND LESS THAN 150 MILES DRIVEN, I HAD MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSE ALL POWER AS I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC. I AM PETRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS DEATH TRAP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR WHEELS AND THE REAR ROTORS WERE EXTREMELY HOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DICK POE CHRYSLER/JEEP (6501 MONTANA AVE, EL PASO, TX 79925) ON TWO OCCASIONS AND THEY REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RE-ENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. WITHOUT WARNING, THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UP A HILL. THE CONTACT HAD TO FORCEFULLY DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DEACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AT ABOUT 30 MPH MY ETC LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR STARTS TO SLOW AND WILL NOT LET ME ACCELERATE. ALSO AS SOON AS I STOP AND START TO GO MY CAR MOVES VERY SLOWLY ABOUT 10MPH AND SOMETIMES THE ETC LIGHT AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 15/20MPH AT ALL UNTIL I STOP AND TRY TO GO AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT'S SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO STOP AND SHUT OFF MY CAR AND START IT AGAIN FOR IT TO FIX ITSELF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING ACROSS THE ROAD OR TURNING WHEN OTHER CARS ARE COMING. NEVER MIND HOW DANG IT IS IF IT IS TO HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH I HAVE AVOIDED SINCE I DON'T FEEL LIKE DYING ANYTIME SOON. EVERYTHING I READ ON THE INTERNET IS SAYING THAT IT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE 2014 JEEP PATRIOTS. THIS IS HONESTLY SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE SERIOUSLY HURT AND AT NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. I'VE ALSO READ ABOUT A RECALL ON AN ENGINE PART FROM 2013 IN THE 2014 PATRIOTS WITH A 2.4L ENGINE AND I AM JUST WONDERING WHY WHEN I LOOK UP RECALLS FOR MY CAR THAT SPECIFIC ONE DOES NOT SHOW UP. IF SOMETHING IS WRONG AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 1 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

TAKATA RECALL THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED 3 MONTHS APART. TODAY I WAS GOING 45 MPH DRIVING FOR 3 MINUTES AND MY TRACK LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT, AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST PRESSURE IN THE ACCELERATION AND COULD ONLY MOVE 20 MPH. I PULLED OVER TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON, THEN IT WORKED LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. THIS ALSO HAS HAPPENED 3 MONTHS AGO ON THE BYPASS GOING 70 MPH AND I HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DIE. SO WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO LET IT COOL DOWN AND ALL THE LIGHTS WENT AWAY AND RAN AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. VERY SCARY.

WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AND CITY STREETS THE WHOLE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WITH ALL THE WARNING SYMBOLS. EVERYTHING IN THE DASHBOARD INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMOTER RESETS TO ZERO LIGHTS UP AND THEN GOES OFF AND ON FOR A COUPLE OF MILES. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR SYSTEM IS TRYING TO CLICK ON AND OFF OR READJUST. I THEN AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 40MPH WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS, CITY STREETS AND TURNING. THE TRACTION LIGHT IS ON ALTHOUGH I DO NOT MANUALLY HAVE IT ON AND SPUTTERS WHEN TURNING ON CITY STREETS AND GRINDS GEARS AND GETS STUCK NOT ALLOWING ME TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 20MPH. AFTER RECEIVING A DIAGNOSTICS FROM A JEEP DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT THE ABOVE STATED ISSUES COULD BE RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY SYSTEM. THE ISSUES ARE STILL OCCURING AFTER MULPTILE MECHANIC CHECKS.

VEHICLE SPUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING AS IF LOSING OIL PRESSURE. IT'S SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO NOT WANT TO TURN OR PULLOUT INTO TRAFFIC UNLESS THERE IS A LARGE AND SAFE DISTANCE BETWEEN OTHER VEHICLES FROM FEAR OF STALLING OR JUST NOT ACCELERATING FAST ENOUGH.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DOING 65 AND THE JERKED HARD AND THE POWER OF THE CAR DROPED DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET INTO A CRASH WITH CARS BEHIND ME A RED LIGHING BOLT LITE UP ON THE DASH AS THIS WAS HAPPENING AND AT THAT SAME TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IF I PRESSED ON THE GAS NOTHING BUT RPM WENT UP AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH THE LIGHTS STOPPED AND THE CAR WENT BACK TO NORMAL BARELY MAKING IT HOME SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN IT'S THE ETC LIGHT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ESC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ALL COME ON AND YOU LOSE POWER TO ACELRATE.

I'VE HAD 2 NEW 2014 JEEP PATRIOTS, AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL HAS FAILED ON BOTH WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 65MPH, LEAVING CARS WITH NO ENGINE POWER OR POWER STEERING. SOMEBODY WILL DIE ONE DAY IN THIS CAR. I JUNKED THE FIRST ONE AFTER REPAIRING THE ETC, AND NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE 2ND ONE. PLEASE GOOGLE THE SUBJECT AND SEE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS W/SAME ISSUE. JEEP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP LEVEL, AND WILL NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE ON 2 NEW 015 PATRIOTS PURCHASED FROM THE SAME DEALER IN MARIETTA, GA. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY DEFECTIVE IN THESE ETCS, AND I AM LUCKY MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE THEMSELVES OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT GETTING MAIMED OR KILLED. JEEP NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, AND RECALL ON THIS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE.

TAMARA RECALL TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT THROTTLE BODY WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH I LOOKED UP ON THE JEEP FORUM AND THEIR IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE WITH THE SAME ISSUES ALOT OF THEM CAUSED RECKS FROM THROTTLE BODY ISSUES, WHAT HAPPEN WAS I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND THEN MY ETC LIGHT AND CHECK ENGEINE LIGHT CAME ON BLINKING AND THEN WITH MY FOOT COMPLETLY ON THE BREAK AND I JUST GOT NEW BREAKS DONE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO , MY JEEP STARTED TO REV AND THE RPMS WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE RED AND MY JEEP WAS OFF BUCKING AND WENT STRAIGHT AHEAD WHILE MY FOOT IS STILL ON THE BREAK I WAS COMPLETELY NOT IN CONTROL OF MY JEEP AND I WAS HEADING RIGHT INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE I SLAMMED ON MY HORN AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND THE OTHER PERSON SLAMMED ON THEIR BREAKS, I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT WPULDNT GO OVER 20 MPH AFTER THAT AND TURN MY JEEP OFF AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND SENT IT TO THE SHOP , AND THEY CALLED ME SAYING IT WAS THROTTLE CONTROL BODY WENT OUT AND SAYING ITS GOING TO BE LIKE 600 DOLLARS TO FIX. IT WAS THE MOST SCARIEST AND DANGEROUS THING I'VE EVER SEEN HAPPEN WITH VEHICLES. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SEEMED LIKE THEY UNDERSTOOD THIS HAS BEEN A PROMBLEM AND THEY JUST DID NOT CARE THE BELOW PICTURES ARE JUST SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT WENT THRU THE SAME THING ITS CALLED JEEP FORUM. THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN

WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED OR IDLING AT A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I MUST PUT MY CAR IN PARK, SHUT THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF, THEN RESTART, SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON CITY STREET, HIGHWAYS, WHILE TURNING AND WHILE STOPPED, IT HAS BECOME UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE TO DRIVE. I AM STILL UNAWARE OF WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL COMPONENTS ON THE VEHICLE THAT I THINK COULD HAVE BEEN LINKED: BATTERY, THROTTLE BODY, SPARK PLUGS, CAM SENSORS, RUNNER VALVE, AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NONE OF THESE REPLACEMENTS HAS FIXED THIS ISSUE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH JEEP (N52) AND WHEN I CALLED TO TELL THEM MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THIS ISSUE THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY WOULD MAKE A NOTE, AND THEY COULD NOT AUTHORIZE A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I ASKED THEM IF I TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY FOUND THIS TO BE THE ISSUE COULD THEY ISSUE THEY RECALL THEN THEY TOLD ME NO AND IT WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT OF MY OWN EXPENSES.

MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT JUST EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. IT HAS 91,000 MILES ON IT, BUT HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTENANCED. THE INPUT SHAFT BEARING STARTED MAKING GRINDING AND WHINING NOISES WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS LET OUT WHILE PARKED AND DRIVING. SOON HAD TROUBLES SHIFTING AND MY TRANSMISSION NOT WANTING TO GO INTO GEAR. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR A REMEDY AND NOTICED THOUSAND OF COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS SAME ISSUE INVOLVING MOST JEEP VEHICLES. ONE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 31,000 MILES WHEN THEIR TRANSMISSION FAILED. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE AUTOMOTIVE SHOP. THEY STATED THAT I HAVE 3 OPTIONS WHICH INCLUDE REBUILD MY CURRENT TRANSMISSION (WHICH MAY BE A TOTAL LOSS) , BUY A USED TRAMSMISSION ( NO GUARANTEE OF WHEN ANOTHER FAILURE WILL OCCUR), OR BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION FROM THE DEALERSHIP (NO GUARANTEE OF WHEN FAILURE WILL OCCUR). THE AUTOMOTIVE SHOP STATED THAT THERE IS A PARTS SHORTAGE DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE PARTS TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION AND ALSO LACK OF USED TRANSMISSIONS DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 1 YEAR AGO AND WILL HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS TO FIX IT DUE TO A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE AUTOMOTIVE COMMUNITY WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE OF WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THE OWNER OF MY LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE SHOP TOLD ME TO SELL IT BECAUSE OF THE KNOWN TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I SAVED MONEY TO BUY THIS JEEP WITH CASH AND DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO CONTINUALLY REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS IN IT. BIG PROBLEM FOR JEEP AND QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCTS. BIGGER PROBLEM FOR THE OWNERS THAT ARE PAYING THOUSANDS TO FIX THEIR VEHICLES. THEIR TRANSMISSIOMS SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO NOT MODEL SPECIFIC. ALL JEEP MODELS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ALREADY.

THROTTLE BODY HOUSING FAILURE: WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON AN INTERSTATE WITH SPEED LIMIT OF 60MPH, VEHICLE WOULD DECELERATE FROM 50MPH DOWN TO 20MPH AND WOULD NOT SPEED UP REGARDLESS OF HOW I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. THE ESC, ETC, AND MIL INDICATORS BEGAN TO FLASH AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SPEED ABOVE 20-30MPH. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS NEEDING A REPLACEMENT THROTTLE BODY HOUSING AT A COST OF $880 FOR THAT REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF A LEAKING COOLANT / RADIATOR HOSE.

BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS (AHR) WERE TRIGGERED IN JULY 2018 WITHOUT MY CAR SUFFERING AN IMPACT. IN BOTH CASES, THE CAR WAS PARKED LIKE USUAL AT MY HOUSE OVERNIGHT AND I FOUND THE HEADRESTS TRIGGERED IN THE MORNING. I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS, THERE IS NO IMPACT DAMAGE, AND THE CAR WAS NOT IN MOTION WHEN THEY TRIGGERED. I WAS UNABLE TO RESET THEM PER THE MANUAL, SO I BROUGHT IT TO MY JEEP DEALERSHIP ON AUGUST 8TH AND MY SERVICE REP SAID HE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG. HE LATER CALLED TO QUOTE ME ABOUT $1,400 TO REPLACE BOTH HEADRESTS AND HE TOLD ME I WOULD PROBABLY WANT TO SKIP REPLACING THEM; TO KEEP THEM AS-IS TO AVOID THE COSTS. AT NO TIME WAS IT EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY FEATURE WITH A BROKEN PIECE. WHEN I SEARCHED ONLINE FOR REPLACEMENT HEADRESTS, I WAS ABLE TO LEARN THAT THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT MALFUNCTIONED AND HAS AFFECTED OTHER DRIVERS. THIS MALFUNCTION POSES A RISK TO DRIVERS IF IT HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION (I WAS LUCKY). A SMALL PIECE IN THE HEADREST IS ALSO BREAKING, PREVENTING THE RESTRAINTS FROM BEING RESET AND COSTING OWNERS THE HIGH PRICE OF REPLACING THE HEADRESTS. I, LIKE MANY, AM NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR THIS LARGE COST, WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED BY JEEP GIVEN ITS SERIOUSNESS AND FREQUENCY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT MY JEEP DEALERSHIP ACTUALLY SUGGESTED THAT I KEEP MY HEADRESTS AS THEY ARE, ALLOWING ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THIS SAFETY RESTRAINT ACTIVATED, WHICH CAN DO MORE HARM SHOULD I BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY ALSO FAILED TO EXPLAIN OR PROPERLY EDUCATE ME ABOUT THE AHR'S AND THE REASON THEY COULD NOT BE RESET. THEIR OMISSION OF THESE FACTS COUPLED WITH THE SAFETY CONCERNS REGARDING THIS SAFETY FEATURE MALFUNCTION CAN PUT OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. ALSO, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RENTSCHLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (255 N WALNUT ST, SLATINGTON, PA 18080, (610) 767-1171) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY JEEP PATRIOT SHIFTS HARD WHEN GOING UP HILLS OR SHIFTING.

WAS NEVER PROPERLY NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL. IT WAS POSTED SEPT. 13, 2016. IT IS NOW SEPT. 16, 2018

WATER LEAK UNDER DASH BOARD,WHEN AIR CONDITIONER ON.

WHILE I WAS IN DRIVING, THE ENGINE WOULD DECELERATE AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATORS WOULD APPEAR ON DASH. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND WAS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I COULD NOT MAKE IT GO OVER 20MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANIC AND THEY SAY THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IVE HAD THAT REPLACED SBOUT 2 YRS AGO...

I HAVE SPENT OVER $1500 ON REPAIR OF AN ELECTRICAL THROTTLE BODY AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND I STILL HAVE ENGINE STALLING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE CARS SLOWS ON ITS OWN I CAN'T DRIVE MORE THAN 20MPH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE SLIP INDICATOR, CHECK ENGINE, AND THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER; HOWEVER, AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CAME TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE, RESET THE VEHICLE, AND CHANGED THE OIL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED A WEEK LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V552000 (ENGINE). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE AND IN MOTION, THE ENGINE WOULD DECELERATE AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATORS WOULD APPEAR ON DASH. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE OR STATE HIGHWAYS. CHECKING NUMEROUS WEBSITES, IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEPS AND THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL AND MANUFACTURER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AT NIGHT, THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT MALFUNCTIONED. UPON COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE SEAT BELT GRADUALLY TIGHTENED AROUND THE CHILD. THE CONTACT MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO LOOSEN THE SEAT BELT AND HAD TO CUT IT TO REMOVE THE CHILD FROM THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,872.

LOSS OF POWER UPON ACCELERATION. DIAGNOSTIC REVEALED DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. MECHANIC SAYS IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2014 JEEP PATRIOT AND THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED MANY ON THIS VEHICLE

TOTAL CONTROL POWER MODULE (TIPM) FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD JEEP PATRIOTS LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING, THE MOST OF THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. WHEN PULLING OVER THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST ASSISTED BRAKING AND POWER STEERING. ONCE STOPPED TURNED THE KEY OFF AND REGAINED COMPOSURE. AFTER IT SAT FOR A FEW SECOND THE JEEP STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AND WAS FINE. TOOK THE JEEP TO A LOCAL STORE TO HAVE THE STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM CHECKED AND WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS OPERATING WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS. SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE REPEAT OCCURRENCES AND NOW THE JEEP HAS TO BE JUMP STARTED IF YOU WANT IT TO RUN. THE JEEP WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A BAD TIPM TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER UNIT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THUS MY VEHICLE IS NOW PARKED. THIS IS THE FIRST JEEP THAT I HAVE OWNED BUT DO NOT THINK THEIR WILL BE ANOTHER BEINGS THAT DODGE IS NOT WANTING TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY AND CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR HAS AROUND 35,000 MILES ON IT. THE PAST FEW DAYS IN THE MORNING, WHEN I START MY CAR, IT STARTS BUT THEN HESITATES. IT WILL HESITATE FOR AROUND 20 SECONDS. THE CAR WAS IN PARK, IN A DRIVEWAY OF A HOUSE. I THINK IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.

MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND HAS HESITATION AFTER ACCELERATION AT A STOP SIGNAL OR SIGN. I USE "PREMIUM" GAS, THINKING THAT REGULAR GAS WAS THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN 2 SEPARATE ACCIDENTS, ONE RECENT SITUATION ON 8/13/2018 WHEN MY PATRIOT "HESITATED" AFTER TURNING ONTO A ROAD WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO "HARD BRAKE" TO NOT HIT ME, AS WELL AS THE DRIVER BEHIND HIM. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND DO NOT FEEL THIS IS A SAFE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC.

THE VEHICLE STARTS TO REV UP REALLY HIGH AND THEN BEGINS TO PUT ALONE TURN IT OFF THE LIGHT GOES OUT THE FIVE MINUTES INTO DRIVING AND COMES BACK ON AND ALMOST CUTS OFF IN MID TRAFFIC

WHEN I AM DRIVING, THE VEHICHLE SHUTS OFF AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. WE NEARLY GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO PULL OVER.

DRIVING MY NRKMAL ROUTE TO TAKE MY SON TO HIS SUMMER PROGRAM.(CITY STREET, 24MPH SPEED LIMIT) ON ARRIVAL, ONLY DRIVING 3 MILES FROM MY HOME, MY RPMS WERE WELL OVER 2000 AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR BEGAN STO SHAKE. THE ENGINE LIGHT, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT, AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COME ON. I PULLED OVER THE THE NEAREST GAS STATION. TURNED CAR OFF AND BACK IN AGAIN. RPMS OVER 2500. THEY DIED DOWN AFTER 2 MIN. ALL LIGHTS STILL FLASHING. GOT IT TO SOMEWHERE YO HAVE CODES READ. "HIGH AIRFLOW VACUUM LEAK". NURSED IT HOME,.COULD NOT GO OVER 20MP. ANYTHING OVER 20MPH THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY. RPMS WERE OVER 2000. ALL OF THIS DRIVING WAS KN CITY STREETS WITH SPEED LIMITS NOT GOING OVER 35MPH. WE TRIED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY TODAY. STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. JEEP ON NEUTRAL (MANUAL TRANNY) RPMS OVER 2000 STILL.

I HAVE A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT WITH ABOUT 33,474 MILES WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. I WAS DRIVING GOING HOME IN A BUSY STREET IN LOS ANGELES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) (SEE PHOTOS) LIGHT SHOWED UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND I STOPPED BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED RED. I HAD 3 PASSENGERS WITH ME AND THEY WERE TRYING TO GOOGLE WHAT THE DASHBOARD LIGHT MEANS. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I STARTED TO DRIVE BUT THE ENGINE WAS STALLING, AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO DRIVE, NO POWER. SO I PARKED AT THE CURB, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND WAITED FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN TURNED THE IGNITION ON AGAIN. THE ESC DISAPPEARED FROM THE DASHBOARD BUT THE MIL REMAINED LIT UP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME AND THE NEXT DAY, TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT'S WORKING FINE NOW. I NOTICED THE DIFFERENCE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE AND AFTER THE THROTTLE WAS CHANGED. I AM REPORTING THIS TO YOU BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD NEWS AND GOT A LETTER FROM A LAW FIRM INFORMING ME OF A NUMBER OF MECHANICAL DEFECTS REPORTED ABOUT THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT, I AM TOO LATE TO BRING IT TO A JEEP DEALER FOR REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

MY HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT EXPERIENCING COLLISION. THE HEADREST IS TO DEPLOY IN A FRONT OR REAR COLLISION. MY HEADREST DEPLOYED AS I WAS DRIVING. THE PIECES INSIDE THE HEADREST ARE BROKEN AND HAVE BEEN DEEMED A DEFECTIVE PIECE BY MY LOCAL DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, SHOOK, AND TREMBLED. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE AND TRACTION INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

EVER SINCE BUYING MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN FAULTY. IF I DRIVE OVER A BUMPY ROAD AND SLOWLY PRESS ON MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN IT BECOMES VERY FAULTY AND THE PEDAL FEELS AS IF I AM BREAKING THROUGH THE GROUND. I HAVE TO QUICKLY RELEASE, WAIT TILL I AM ON FLAT GROUND AND PRESS ON THE BRAKES AGAIN TO HAVE A BETTER GRIP ON BRAKING. THIS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I HAD TO BRAKE ABRUPTLY. THE CAR OVERALL IS FINE, IT'S JUST THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN ACTING UP SINCE THE BEGINNING. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M ON THE FREEWAY OR IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, I ALWAYS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAPPENS. THE JEEP HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION BUT I DON'T THINK THAT SHOULD MATTER BECAUSE MY ROOMMATE HAS THE SAME EXACT CAR BUT AN AUTOMATIC AND SHE HAS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH HER CAR AS WELL. CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL, ENGINE LIGHT AND LIGTENING BOLT LIGHT CAME ON. MY JEEP WOULD NO GO ABOVE 30 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD JUST LEFT MY SISTERS AND ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK TO HER PLACE. MY JEEP HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE ALMOST DAILY AND THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS.

THE DASH LIGHTS OF A LIGHTING BOLT AND TRACTION CONTROL COME ON. THE JEEP STARTS LURCHING AND SPUTTERING. THE MAX SPEED GOES TO ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOURS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES AND THE DEALERS CAN'T TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG, NO CODES APPEAR. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT CAN'T BE DRIVEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MILLER'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (48 KELLY ISLAND RD, MARTINSBURG, WV 25401, 304-263-8821) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

SAFETY HEADREST FAILURE. AHR (ACTIVE HEADREST RESTRAINT) FAILURE. WAS DRIVING AT 25MPH, PASSENGER HEADREST EXPLODED CAUSING LOUD NOISE AND DISTRACTED MY DRIVING. PULLED OVER TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE AND FOUND THE PASSENGER HEADREST WAS DEPLOYED. THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT IS INTENDED TO ENGAGE DURING A COLLISION. I WAS NEVER INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN THIS VEHICLE. JEEP HAS BEEN CONTACTED REGARDING THIS ISSUE WITH LITTLE RESOLUTION. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES, BASIC SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT THIS POINT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE CONTACT INCREASED THE AIR CONDITIONER TEMPERATURE AND THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY STARTED TO DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE'S TEMPERATURE GAUGE ALSO INCREASED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, POWERED OFF THE ENGINE, AND WAITED A WHILE BEFORE RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT CALLED JT'S DODGELAND AND FIAT OF COLUMBIA AT (803) 799-1900 (LOCATED AT 190 GREYSTONE BLVD, COLUMBIA, SC 29210) AND WAS INFORMED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,999.

ALL SUDDEN THE ENIGINE EXCELL . WOULD NOT STOP. CAUSING ME TO CRASH THOUGH A METAL FENCE. I WAS BACKING UP INTO A PARKING SPOT..

MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT WILL NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT HAVING HESITATION. THE VEHICLE HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS WHETHER YOU ARE MOVING OR STOPPED, IT ALMOST STALLS AND THEN HAS TO RESET IT SELF TO GO ABOVE 30MPH. THE ETC LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN DISAPPEARS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ALL WEEK. SEEING HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE ON THIS SITE AND OTHERS, THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND SCARY SITUATION FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD TO SLOW AND/OR STOP WHILE YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCELERATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER IN A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED RANDOMLY ON A DAILY BASIS EVER SINCE JUNE 2, 2018. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,660.

CAR HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES. ISSUE HAS BEEN RECURRENT SINCE PURCHASING-- NOW, ITS TO THE POINT THAT WE ARE TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE DEATH TRAP. CAR ENGINE DIES WHILE DRIVING AND VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER. CHECK ENGINE AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ON. NOW, THE PROBLEM OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY. THERE'S NO WARNING PRIOR TO CAR COMPLETELY DYING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST GETTING US KILLED. IT ALSO OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING DOWN SIDE SIDES/MAIN ROADS SINCE WE NOW FEAR DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY PEOPLE WILL BE KILLED BY THIS - IF THEY HAVEN'T BEEN SO FAR

TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT LIGHT CAME ON. WHINING NOISE FROM TRANSMISSION. LOSS OF ACCELERATION ON HIGH WAY.

I AM WRITING IN REGARDS TO AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH MY JEEP PATRIOT THAT UPON FURTHER RESEARCH SEEMS TO BE PLAGUING MANY PATRIOT OWNERS AS WELL WITH NO SOLUTION. RANDOMLY MY VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WOULD LIGHT. WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN I WOULD LOSE THE POWER TO ACCELERATE AND WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. ONCE RESTARTED THE PROBLEM WOULD NO LONGER BE THERE AS IF IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. SOMETIMES THE 4WD AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD IGNITE DURING THESE EPISODES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS, BUT NOTHING POPPED ON THEIR END AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ONLY WAY FOR THEM TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG IS IF IT HAPPENS WHEN THEY HAVE IT. BEING THERE CAN BE A WEEK OR MORE BETWEEN EPISODES THIS ISN'T FEASIBLE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER BEING IT'S DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. JUST TWO WEEKS AGO MY VEHICLE HAD THIS EPISODE OCCUR WHILE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. THANKFULLY I MANAGED TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT BEING A PREGNANT MOTHER DRIVING HER TODDLER AROUND THIS SITUATION COULD OF COST US OUR LIVES. TONIGHT MY CAR DID THE SAME AND I NEARLY GOT HIT BECAUSE I LOST ACCELERATION SUDDENLY ON A 55MPH ROAD. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A SAFE PLACE BUT NOW MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE AND WILL HAVE TO BE TOWED TO BE FIXED. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 72000 MILES ON IT .

A LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR STARTS SLOWING DOWN SO YOU MUST PULL OVER UNTIL THE LIGHT GOES OUT, BUT IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN. IT IS SO DANGEROUS TO BE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE CAR MANY TIMES AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY. IT IS LIKE OWNING A GOLF CART. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL!

JUST 15,983 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN DRIVING AND ACCELERATING THE ENGINE LOSES POWER AND THE LIGHTENING BOLT COMES ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. IT LOSES POWER IN TRAFFIC. AT 70 MPH. ALL OF THIS. IT APPEARS TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY. LOOKING AROUND THE INTERNET, IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. RIDICULOUS AT JUST 15,983 MILES

THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH AND THE TOP SPEED IS 20-25 MPH. MY JEEP HAS DONE THIS 5 TIMES. A REST HAS WORKED 3 TIMES AND HAS NOT THESE LAST TWO TIMES.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT FLICKED ON AND OFF ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE ACCELERATING. VEHICLE SEEMED TO REV UP AND ALMOST BOTTOM OUT. DIAGNOSED BY INDEPENDENT SERVICE SHOP AS FAULTY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE. REPAIR COST WAS APPROXIMATELY $742.

2014 JEEP PATRIOT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ONE DEALER THAT CLAIMED THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT IT HAD NOT ACTUALLY BEEN COMPLETED THE CONSUMER TO THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE THEY COMPLETED THE RECALL REPAIR. *JS

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR WENT OUT. GAS PEDDLE STOPPED WORKING AND VEHICLE SHAKING/STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHILE TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. APPROX 79,000. COST OVER $800 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE INTAKE MANIFOLD LAST SUMMER.

TAKATA RECALL I TOOK MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT INTO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER FOR REPAIR OF THE S61 TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP BEING REPAIRED, THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THE NEWLY INSTALLED PART MALFUNCTIONED AND THOUGHT THE CAR HAD ROLLED OVER, AND DEPLOYED ALL AIRBAGS IN THE CAR. THIS DESTROYED THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR, INCLUDING THE ROOF, SEATS, FRONT CONSOLE, STEERING WHEEL, AND SEAT BELTS. THE MANAGER MENTIONED THEY WOULD FIX THE DAMAGE. HOWEVER, THE CAR WAS SUBMITTED FOR THE REPAIR ON APRIL 12, 2018, AND AS OF MAY 14, 2018 THEY HAVE NOT REMOVED THE OLD AIRBAGS, OR INSTALLED ANY NEW AIRBAGS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. IF THE NEWLY INSTALLED PART USED TO FIX THE RECALL HAD MALFUNCTIONED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN USE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT. THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IF AND WHEN THE PART WAS GOING TO MALFUNCTION. I NOW HAVE MY CONCERNS REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE, THE RELIABILITY OF THE RECALLED PART, AND THE SAFETY OF ANY NEWLY INSTALLED TAKATA AIRBAGS. THERE IS PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE JEEP SERVICE CENTER FOR NOT REPAIRING THEIR ERROR FOR GREATER THAN 5 WEEKS AFTER THE DAMAGED OCCURRED, FOR REDUCING THE VALUE OF MY CAR, AND FOR USING FAULTY EQUIPMENT IN THEIR REPAIR. THERE IS ALSO PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG COMPANY FOR PROVIDING A FAULTY AIRBAG AND FAULTY REPAIR PART FOR THE S61 RECALL. THIS NEGLIGENCE COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL.

THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN LESS THEN A 6 MONTHS PERIOD. I WOULD BE DRIVING THEN OUT OF NO WHERE MY VEHICLE JERKS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN NOT ACCELERATE PAST 20 MPH. I HAVE TO MANAGE TO PULL TO THE SIDE SOMEWHERE TO RESTART MY CAR SO IT WILL DRIVE SOMEWHAT NORMALLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. ONE ERROR CODE SAID THERE WAS A LEAKING HOSE BUT THEY FOUND NOTHING LEAKING AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. *TT *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START FROM A STATIONARY POSITION INCLUDING ANY ELECTRICAL EXCEPT FOR "NO BUS" ON THE DASHBOARD. THIS BEGAN AROUND 34,500 MILES IN AUGUST 2016. I TOOK MY VEHICLE THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE. I RETURNED IN DECEMBER TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. IN FEBRUARY OF 2017 I WAS ABLE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS BUT STILL NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME BUT THE ONLY TEMPORARY SOLUTION IS TO DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT THE BATTERY, WHICH WAS WHAT I USED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. IN JANUARY OF 2018 I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED. THE FINAL SOLUTION WAS THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE WAS REPLACED.

ON THE MORNING OF 4/1/18 I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHEN MY CAR LOST CONTROL AND HIT A TREE GOING BETWEEN 20-30MPH. IT WAS A HEAD ON COLLISION WHERE MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SEAT BELT DID NOT TENSE DURING OR AFTER THE COLLISION. AS SUCH, I RECEIVED A LARGE LACERATION TO MY FOREHEAD WHEN IT HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS MAKING A SLIGHT LEFT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION NEAR A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND THE ROAD WAS SLICK FROM A SLIGHT RAIN THAT WAS HAPPENING. I HAD SKIDDED OUT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND BEFORE I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING I WAS COLLIDING WITH THE TREE IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WERE NO OTHER PARTIES INVOLVED.

THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED! NOT SAFE. MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD SON WHEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND CLUNKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I PULLED OVER THINKING I HAD A FLAT TIRE BUT DID NOT. WENT TO MECHANIC, WHERE THEY REPLACED FAULTY SWAY BAR AND ALSO INSTALLED AN EXHAUST SPRING BOLT KIT THAT WAS NEVER INSTALLED TO BEGIN WITH. GET THE CAR BACK TO NOT ONLY HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AGAIN ALONG WITH ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION SEEMING TO SLIP. I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT- AGAIN WITH MY SON IN THE CAR, WHILE BREAKING- THE CAR JUMPS RPM AND ALMOST RAN INTO CAR IN FRONT OF ME. ALSO ON CRUISE CONTROL THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP REV'N THE ENGINE. IT WAS STUCK OVER 4 RPM. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SAFETY BUT IT IS FAR FROM SAFE. THERE WAS AN AIRBAG RECALL BUT WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IT WAS MARKED AS A SEAT BELT RECALL. I WOULD OF STEERED CLEAR IF I KNEW ABOUT AIRBAG BUT NOW I KNOW AIRBAG MAY NOT WORK IN CRASH OR WILL DEPLOY RANDOMLY EVEN IF IT WAS FIXED IT'S NOT A LEGIT FIX DUE TO ELECTRICAL?! ALSO I BELIEVE THE RECALL ON 2.4 ENGINES SHOULD ALSO BE LOOKED INTO FOR MORE POSSIBLE CARS AFFECTED. MY CAR FOLLOWS SAME PROBLEMS AS THOSE RECALLED AND SAME ENGINE BUT MINES NOT RECALLED. THIS CAR CLUNKS IN AND OUT OF DRIVEWAYS. IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL FALL APART. THE WEATHER STRIPING IS POOR ALLOWING WATER TO GET IN CAUSING MOLDY SMELL. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ACCUMULATE WATER. THERE SEEM TO BE SIGNS OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS HOWEVER MECHANIC CAN'T SEE IT. CAN'T CHARGE PHONE AN LISTEN TO RADIO UNLESS YOU LIKE STATIC! SAME WITH AUX CORD, JUST STOPPED WORKING. ASIDE FROM LOOKING NICE- CRYSLER DID A TERRIBLE JOB WITH THIS PARTICULAR PATRIOT. POORLY BUILT, NOT WORTH THE MONEY. THEY RATHER HAVE PEOPLE DIE OR GET SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE LOOKING INTO RECALLING IT RIGHT? MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT HAVE BEEN MADE AND CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP.

THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MUST BE REPLACED.-I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED TO HAVE THIS REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE YET!! I CALL JEEP AND APPARENTLY THE RECALL IS INCOMPLETE?! HOW COME JEEP IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS. I AM CONCERNED FOR THOSE WHO RIDE IN THIS CAR. WHAT DO I DO? I WAS ASSURED WHEN I BOUGHT THE JEEP ~1YR AGO FROM THE DEALER THAT THE RECALL WOULD BE HANDLED WITHIN A FEW MONTHS.

THE ROLL OVER CHECK VALVE INSIDE THE GAS TANK GETS STUCK. IF IT STICKS UP IT PREVENTS GAS TANK VENTING. IF IT STICKS DOWN IT ALLOWS GAS TO FLOW FROM THE VENT IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO ROLL OVER. MINE STUCK UP. WHEN I DISECTED THE TANK I HAD TO PRY THE CHECK VALVE OUT. ONCE I GOT IT OUT I FOUND IT MOVES FREELY THROUGH 270 DEGREES, BUT IF YOU ROTATE IT THROUGH THE OTHER 90 DEGREES IT GETS STUCK.

FUEL TANK WILL NOT ACCEPT GAS. ON MOST GAS PUMPS THE FUEL CLICKS OFF EVERY O.25 GALLON. THE ONLY WAY TO FILL THE TANK IS TO BARELY OPEN THE FUEL NOZZLE, SO THE TANK FILLS VERY SLOWLY. TROUBLE WITH THAT IS THE FUEL DOESN'T SHUT OFF AT ALL. I JUST FILL THE TANK UNTIL IT SPILLS OUT. JEEP WANTS OVER $1,600 TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. I CAN SPILL A LOT OF GAS FOR THAT PRICE!

VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE DUE TO FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. PER RESEARCH AND MECHANICS STATEMENT THERE IS KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE CHEAP, POOR MADE THROTTLE BODY IN THIS VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2014 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE FROM MARSHALL DODGE IN CRITTENDEN (WHICH SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER PURCHASING!) WAS A GREAT CAR FOR THE FIRST LITTLE BIT. I CAN NO LONGER DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE. AT INTERSTATE SPEED (65-70 MPH) THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO MAKE A SQUEAL NOISE AND WITHIN FIVE MINUTES I AM PLAYING LEAP FROG TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AT MAX SPEED OF (20 MPH) AND THE VEHICLE IS VERY JERKY. WHEN IT DOES THIS ALL FLUIDS IN THE CAR ARE FINE, GIVE IT ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND THE CAR WILL ACT NORMAL, BUT I CANNOT TRUST IT TO GET BACK ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO YEARS. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEIR USELESS EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOTHING GETS DONE! I HAVE CONTINUALLY BEEN TOLD THEY CANNOT FIND ANY SIGNS VIA COMPUTER IT HAS DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS OR AFTER KEEPING IT FOR TWO WEEKS DRIVING IT AND LOOKING IT OVER IT HAS NO REASON TO. IT IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY AND AM FRUSTRATED I CAN TRUST MY ORIGINAL VEHICLE (THANKFULLY I DIDN'T TRADE IT IN TO THAT CROOKED DEALERSHIP) THAT HAS ALMOST 200,000 MILES ON IT, A 2004 SCION TC, MORE THAN A VEHICLE I BOUGHT BRAND NEW THAT STARTED BECOMING UNRELIABLE WITH 36,000 MILES ON IT. I FEEL LIKE I BOUGHT A LEMON AND THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO FIX IT. THIS VEHICLE CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO GET TO A TO B AND I FEEL LIKE I AM GETTING SCREWED BY MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND JEEP. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS, THE MORE I RESEARCH THE MORE COMMON IT IS; OR JEEP SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE THESE VEHICLES RIGHT, BECAUSE THEY ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE! IF IT IS NEVER MADE RIGHT YOU CAN BET I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT AND I WILL BE SURE LET MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS KNOW JUST HOW DANGEROUS THEY ARE!

LEAKS WATER FROM OUT OF LIGHT IN REAR HATCH AREA DURING AND AFTER IT RAINS

DRIVING ON A 55MPH HIGHWAY AT 55MPH AND ACCELERATION DISCONTINUED . I NOTICED ETC WARNING LIGHT WAS ON , CAR WOULD NOT THROTTLE PROPERLY I PULLED OFF ROAD ONTO EMERGENCY LANE. I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BUT FORTUNATELY WAS NOT. LOOKED IN MANUAL, RETURNED HOME WITHIN 6 MILES AT ABOUT 30MPH ON 55MPH ROAD . CALLED CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO LESS THAN 60,000 MILES IT COULD BE TOWED THERE FREE. THEY STATED I NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY BUT NOT UNDER WARRANTY. WHY WOULD A MAJOR PART NEED REPLACED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE.

SO FOR THE LAST MONTH OR TWO MY WIFE 2014 JEEP PATRIOT HAS HAD THE ECT LIGHT COME ON ALONG WITH OTHERS WITH T LIKE THE TC AND CHECK ENGINE AND WHATS HAPPENING IS ITS BASICALLY LOSING POWER RANDOMLY AND WHEN IT START IT DOESN'T GO AWAY YOU CAN EVEN GET THE VEHICLE OVER 10 MPH I PERSONALLY HAVE READY A BUNCH OF THESE SAME COMPLAINTS ON HERE AND OTHER FORUM AND THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD THEIR IS A ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY.

TAKATA RECALL- 3 DASH LIGHTS ON ETC, MIL, AND ESC ACTIVATIONAL MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT ON- CAR MAKES SPUTTERING LOUD NOISE AND STALLS/TURNS OFF QUICKLY AFTER STARTING. CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND IS JERKING/HARD TO PRESS BREAKS. FEELS DANGEROUS LIKE CAR IS GOING TO SHUT OFF AT ANY MOMENT. THIS STARTED LAST NIGHT WHEN 3 LIGHTS APPEARED ON DASH BUT CAR SOUNDED NORMAL. SHORTLY AFTER IT SHUT OFF AND HAS GONE DECREASINGLY DOWN HILL.THIS SOUNDS LIKE A RECALL ISSUED FOR JEEP PATRIOTS BUT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN NUMBER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE SPEED INDEPENDENTLY DECREASED TO 20 MPH. THE ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR AND IT RESTARTED ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE EXISTING COMPLAINTS FOR THE FAILURE, BUT THERE WAS NO CURRENT RECALL AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, BOTH SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. PARKER MCGILL CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF STARKVILLE, MISSISSIPPI (105 PARK MCGILL DRIVE, 39759) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

RECEIVED NOTICE THAT MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT HAS TAKATA AIRBAGS AND WAS RECALLED. I TOOK THE CAR INTO MCINRNEYS CHRYSLER JEEP AND THEY TOLD ME CHRYSLER WOULD CONTACT ME. IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR AND NO COMMUNICATION, NO LETTERS, NO CALLS

TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT THE JEEP PATRIOT 2014 FROM A DEALER ON 7/17/2017. I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE FOR A POTENTIALLY FATAL FLAW IN THE AIRBAGS. I HAD NO IDEA THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL UNTIL I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL LAST WEEK. I HAVE CONTACTED MY MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS AND THEY HAVE ORDERED THE PARTS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THEY KNOWINGLY SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A CRIMINAL ACT AND IT WOULD BE IF I AM INJURED OR KILLED DRIVING IT UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE MADE.

LESLIE, A SERVICE ADVISOR AT ABSHER ARNOLD MOTORS LOCATED IN MARION, ILLINOIS REFUSED TO PERFORM A SAFETY RECALL REPAIR ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. SHE STATED THEY COULD NOT GET THE PART AND THAT THE PART WAS BEING 'RATIONED OUT.' THIS WENT ON OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT THREE WEEKS. UPON CONTACTING ANOTHER AREA DEALERSHIP (WEEKS IN WEST FRANKFORT) THEY HAD THE PART IN TWO DAYS AND PERFORMED THE RECALL REPAIR THE NEXT DAY. I FEEL THIS MATTER SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO SO THAT OTHERS AREN'T PROVIDED WITH THIS TYPE OF SERVICE AND FALSE INFORMATION. THANK YOU.

WHILE PARKED AND IDLING, ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS STARTED MALFUNCTIONING - INDICATOR LIGHTS, WIPERS, BRAKE BOOSTER, RADIO - ALL TURNED ON WITH OR WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. SMOKE BEGAN TO POUR FROM THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, WHICH THEN BRIEFLY STARED ON FIRE. ONLY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY ALLOWED THE MODULE TO COOL DOWN AND STOP SMOKING.

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 10/13/16. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I WENT AROUND A TURN IT SEEMED LIKE MY BRAKES WERE LOCKING UP OR SOMETHING, I STARTED SWERVING AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY AND I EVENTUALLY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND ENDED UP ROLLING THE VEHICLE TWICE BEFORE LANDING DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. MY CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I ESTIMATE THAT I WAS GOING AT A RATE OF AROUND 45-50 MILES PER HOUR. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. AT A HIGH SPEED IMPACT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF. I SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES, AND I STILL HAVE PAIN IN BOTH MY KNEES.

BRAKES NEEDED REPLACED LEFT SIDE ONLY AT 30,000 MILES,1ROTOR AND PADS,RIGHT SIDE VERY GOOD CONDITION

THERE IS RECALL TO REPLACE THE OCCUPANT RESTRAIN CONTROLLER ON MY CAR HOWEVER WHEN I CALL THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND GET IT REPLACED I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER HAS PUT A HOLD ON THE MEASURE AS A SOLUTION BECAUSE REPLACING THE PART MAY DO MORE DAMAGE THAN IT ALREADY DOES AND THAT FOR NOW THEY WERE JUST TAKING NAMES DOWN AND WILL CALL BACK ONCE THE COMPANY HAS A BETTER SOLUTION. I HOWEVER HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THAT PRESSURE TO HOLD THE SEAT BELT IN DOES NOT STAY AND TENSIONER OPENS RANDOMLY.

2014 JEEP PATRIOT STALLS OUT ON ME. TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 30MPH TO 55 MPH. PROBLEM INITIALLY STARTED IN EARLY 2016. DRIVING AT SPEED OF 55 MPH, CAR WILL START TO VIBRATE, THE ENGINE AND THE ETC (ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL) LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE ENGINE WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND STALL OUT. THE LAST STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING OCCURRED 09/07/17. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE ROAD AFTER BEING ON THE SHOULDER, THE CAR WILL LUNGE FORWARD AND AGAIN STALL OUT. AFTER 5-7 ATTEMPTS AND NEARLY BEING HIT EACH TIME I TRY TO GET ON THE MAIN ROAD, THE PATRIOT WILL FINALLY GET ME STRAIGHT HOME. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING EVERY 3-4 MONTH OCCURRENCE FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY TELL ME THEY KNOW OF NO SUCH COMPLAINTS OCCURRING. THIS VEHICLE MUST BE RECALLED, IT IS A DEATHTRAP! I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY PATRIOT BUT SEEING AS I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION FOR TRANSPORTATION, I HAVE TO SAY A PRAYER AND DRIVE IT TO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT PULLING AWAY FROM MY DRIVEWAY AFTER BACKING OUT, TURNING THE CORNER AT THE END OF MY STREET AND WHILE DRIVING IT ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AT 55 MPH AND ALWAYS IN MOTION. NEXT TIME IT DOES HAPPEN, SINCE IT ALWAYS OCCURS MORE THAN ONCE, I WILL RECORD IT AND SEND IT TO THE NHTSA. I'VE BEEN READING MANY DIFFERENT MESSAGE BOARDS ACROSS THE INTERNET THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR VEHICLES BOUGHT BACK OR REPLACED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!

MY JEEP KEEPS STALLING AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE JEEP WAS BEING DRIVEN WHEN THIS HAPPENS.AND STOPPED.

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ONE, THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING AND LOST POWER. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR, IT STARTED NORMALLY BUT MOMENTS LATER THE LIGHTS ALL CAM BACK AND THE JEEP STARTING SHAKING. THEN TWO DAYS OF NORMAL DRIVING AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND COMPLAINTS DATING BACK TO 2008.

THE UNIVERSAL JOINT HOLDING THE SIDE MIRROR BROKE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE WITHIN ~1 MONTH OF EACH OTHER. THE SAME COMPONENT FAILED IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY IN BOTH INSTANCES. IN BOTH CASES, THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED AT THE END OF A WORK DAY (~5PM) AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE FOR THE ENTIRE WORK DAY. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED PRIOR TO ENTERING OR EVEN TOUCHING THE VEHICLE. THE MIRROR WAS LOOSE AND POINTING MORE TOWARD THE GROUND THAN NORMAL. UPON ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST THE MIRROR INTO THE CORRECT POSITION, IT WAS FOUND TO BE LOOSE AND DETACHED. THE BROKEN PIECE IS MADE OF PLASTIC. IT HAS A HEMISPHERE WITH 3 PRONGS STICKING OUT OF IT. THE 3 PRONGS HAVE GROOVES IN THEM THAT ENGAGE WITH TABS ON A SPACIAL WASHER. THE WASHER PUSHES ON A SPRING. ONE OF THE PRONGS IS BROKEN AT THE TOP OF THE GROOVE WHICH IS ENGAGED WITH THE WASHER. IT APPEARS THAT THE PLASTIC IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE SPRING LOAD, BUT THERE MAY ALSO BE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS DUE TO STRESS CONCENTRATIONS IN THE GROOVE OR FROM THE SHARP EDGES OF THE WASHER. HERE IS MY BEST INTERPRETATION OF THE TEXT ON THE STICKER ON THE ASSEMBLY. ORIGINAL TORQUE 1.0-2.0 19-459000-000 LOT. NO 04314 SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS SEEMS TO BE LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN ON THE ON RAMP ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE , IT JUST FEELS LIKE ITS ALMOST RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND RPM'S WILL GO UP TO 5-6 .I AM ALMOST AFRAID OF BEING RAN OVER WHEN ACCELERATING DURING ANY SITUATION. ALSO MY BRAKES FROM DAY ONE HAVE ALWAYS SQUEEKED... I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED , THEY HAVE CLEANED AND DAYS LATER THE SAME THINK. AND THE DRUMS ON REAR ARE EVEN WORSE, MORE OF A GRINDING SOUND, BUT ALSO I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY ARE FINE. THIS NOISE IS NOT NORMAL . I HAVE ALSO HAD A FEW INCIDENTS WHERE SAY SITTING IN TRAFFIC WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT WILL SWITCH FROM MANUAL TO STANDARD. IT WILL BE IN DRIVE THEN I WILL LOOK AND IT WILL BE IN D 1. I HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH THE SHIFTER OVER TO GO BACK TO NORMAL DRIVE.

MY JEEP PATRIOT STARTING HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES ABOUT A MONTH AGO. WHILE DRIVING, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I AM TURNING OR DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS BEING CUT OFF FROM THE FUEL AND GETS JERKY. NOW THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN GO OUT. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS DOING 25MPH OR ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 60MPH. I DRIVE MY TWO DAUGHTERS AROUND AND CANNOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE TO BE SAFE. WE HAVE TRIED LOOKING INTO FIXING IT AND NO ONE CAN TELL US WHAT IS WRONG. EVERY FORUM WE HAVE GONE TO TELLS US THAT THEY HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS AS WELL AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS TO COMPLETELY GO OUT WITH RISK OF AN ACCIDENT. SOME HAVE STATED THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO TOW THEIR VEHICLE HOME BECAUSE IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THERE IS NO ACTUAL ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM AND THE PARTS ARE A MAYBE FOR A FIX. WHICH DO WE FIX FIRST? THE CHEAPEST OR BOTH? ALSO, SOME OF THE PARTS ARE ONLY FACTORY DIRECT ORDERING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND GET A RECALL STARTED!! I AM GETTING AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND I CAN'T KEEP PUTTING MONEY INTO SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T FIX IT!! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A MONTH!

I RECEIVED THIS RECALL NOTICE IN LATE OCT/NOV 2016. THE DAY I RECEIVED IT, I CALLED THE NUMBER LISTED AND WAS PUT ON A WAITING LIST TO LET ME KNOW WHEN THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE THE WEEK OF 8/21/17 FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON. I CALLED MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE RECALL NOTICE A SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THIS MORNING I GO TO DROP OFF MY JEEP AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND THAT THEY WOULD PUT ME ON A LIST. THIS RECALL IS JUST SHY OF A YEAR OLD NOW. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY NOW. NO ONE HAS EVER CALLED ME ABOUT THIS PART BECOMING AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED.

ONE MORNING I TRIED TO TURN ON MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. GOT A FRIEND TO COME OUT TO TRY AND JUMP START IT AND AFTER ABOUT 30 MIN IT WAS SUCCESSFUL. TWO DAYS LATER I HAD THE SAME ISSUE. TRIED TO JUMP THE CAR AGAIN WITH NO SUCCESS. REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT DID NOT HELP. ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONEMTS INSIDE THE CAR (RADIO,LIGHTS,ECT) WERE STILL FUNCTIONAL BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT START OR EVEN MAKE A SOUND LIKE IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO START. JEEP WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE AFTER 1.5 WEEKS OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I THEN TOWED IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND HE STATED THAT HE DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. HE REMOVED THE PLASTIC COVERINGS OVER THE ENGINE AND STATED THEY ARE JUST FOR LOOKS AND DONT NEED TO BE THERE AND CLEANED SOME WIRES NEAR THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL WELL AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START. LATER WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP STARTED TO ACT STRANGE. RANDOMLY ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WOULD TURN ON, THE GUAGES WENT ALL THE WAY TO ZERO THEN BACK UP TO NORMAL THE RADIO WOULD SHUT OFF AND TURN BACK ON AND THE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL. LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED EXCEPT THIS TIME THE LIGHTS STAYED ON ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I THEN WOULD HAVE TO PULL MY JEEP TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURN IT OFF LET IT SET FOR A LITTLE THEN IT WOULD START BACK UP FINE. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A COUPLE WEEKS. WHEN IT WASNT HAPPENING AND I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AROUND NORMALLY THE CHECK BATTERY LIGHT WOULD ALWAYS TURN ON AFTER ABOUT 5 TO 10 MIN AFTER DRIVIMG THE VEHICLE. OCCASIONALLY THE CHECK OIL LIGHT WILL ALSO TURN ON. I HAVE STILL FOUMD MP SOLUTION TO THESE PROBLEMS AMD IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. IT MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE TO DROVE ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN CONGESTED AREAS DUE TO VEHICLE RANDOMLY NOT WORKING.

TAKATA RECALL - NHTSA RECALL #16V-668 - THE RECALL DATE ON THIS WAS 9/13/16 AND THEY ARE STILL NOT OFFERING A REMEDY. ONE YEAR IS WAY TOO LONG TO WAIT FOR A SAFETY RECALL INVOLVING SEATBELTS AND AIRBAGS.

WCM/SCREEM MODULE. CAR WOULD NOT START. WAITED AND HOUR THEN IT STARTED. CAR IS LEAVING ME STRANDED. I HAD JUST TURN VEHICLE OF TO DROP A O PACKAGE AND CAR WOULD NOT START. CALLED TOW TRUCK AND WHILE WAITING TIRED SEVERAL TIMES. COULD SEE I HAD EL ECTRICITY SO IT WAS NOT BATTERY. BUT STARTED WOULD NOT CRANK. AFTER AN HOUR IF CLICKING REMOTE KEY LOCKS ON AND OFF AND TRYING TO START VEHICLE IT CRANKED. READ ON LINE THIS WCM/SCREEM ISSUE, BUT SEE NO RECALLS ON FIXING IT. IT'S A PROBLEM IF YOU ARE NOT IN A SAFE AREA AND CAN'T START CAR.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT RECEIVED AN INTERIM NOTIFICATION, BUT WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SECOND LETTER TO DETERMINE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE SUPPLIED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN AS TO WHEN THE DEALER MAY RECEIVE THE PART AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO SECURE AND WAS LOOSELY CONNECTED. THE DEALER (AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM HOUSTON, 1515 S LOOP W, HOUSTON, TX 77054, (713) 489-7825) FAILED TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR APPOINTMENT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

IT HAS BEEN 11 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL. I CONTACTED JEEP - THERE STILL ISN'T A FIX. AIR BAGS & SEAT BELTS THAT DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY ARE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER IS A NEW DRIVER & I'M SCARED TO LET HER DRIVE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SAFETY & IT IS NOT SAFE. I FEEL LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION - IT'S NOW RATTLING UNDER THE FRONT TIRE.

SAFETY RECALL ISSUED SEPTEMBER 13, 2016 (FCA RECALL #S61 | NHTSA RECALL #16V-668). AS OF JULY 27, 2017 THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ISSUE. VEHICLE EXHIBITED UNEXPECTED AND UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION.

AT 27,900 MILES THE PLASTIC GEARS IN THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED, CAUSING AN UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND CLIMBING A HILL. I DID MY RESEARCH AND LEARNED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS EXISTED SINCE 2007 WITH NO PERMANENT SOLUTION. THIS MANIFESTS ITSELF AS AN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER UNTIL THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT COMES ON AT WHICH POINT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THERE IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO BY MOTOR CITY MECHANIC ON YOUTUBE THAT EXPLAINS THIS ISSUE IN DETAIL. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ONE OF THESE FAILS AT SPEED AND SOMEONE IS KILLED.

I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIME TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRED. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO SALUTATION TO THE RECALL AS OF YET. I THINK THEY SHOULD REPLACE THIS JEEP WITH AN UP GRADED JEEP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OR BUY IT BACK. THE SET BELT BECOME LOCK AND CHOKES YOU GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOU HAVE TO RELEASE THE BELT AND RE SET IT SO YOU ARE NOT BEING CHOKED.

LOST POWER WHEN MOVING AWAY FROM A SIGNAL LIGHT AND MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE SLOWLY. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND US. PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND THE VEHICLE SEEMED OK AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME ABOUT 10 MILES. VERY SCARY! ONLY 7,400 MILES ON VEHICLE.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT FAULTY AIRBAG/SEATBELT PRETENSIONER. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE NO FIX YET BUT IT'S A BIG DEAL TO ME BECAUSE THIS AFFECTS SAFETY DEVICES AND POTENTIALLY MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. I HAD TO HARD BRAKE THE OTHER DAY AND MY SON'S SEAT BELT DIDN'T LOCK AND HE FELL OVER IN HIS BOOSTER SEAT

2014 JEEP PATRIOT: SUMMARY: THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES. SAFETY RISK: THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN SUCH CRASH EVENTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH. REMEDY: THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MUST BE REPLACED. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE MANUFACTURER NOTES: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE THIS RECALL WAS PUT OUT ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2016 IT IS NOW JULY 11, 2017. CLEARLY SAFTEY IS NOT OF CONCERN 10 MONTHS LATER WITH NO ACTION TAKEN. PARTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE IN JUNE 2017

OVER PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, VEHICLE HAD ISSUES OF START/NO START. BEING FRUSTRATED, I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER ON 7/3/17. DEALER REPLACED THE TIPM SAME DAY. ON JULY 4TH VEHICLE STILL EXPERIENCE START/NO START. RETURNED THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON 7/6/17 AND I AM AWAITING RESULTS FROM DEALER REGARDING THE ISSUE. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER CHRYSLER IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TIPM AND EXCESSIVE HEAT ON ENGINE SEEMS TO PLAY A MAJOR FACTOR IN THE FAILURE OF THE TIPM.

HAVE CONTACTED FICA ABOUT RECALL,THEY SAY MY CAR IS IN CHINA. I LIVE IN BELOIT, WI.VERY RUDE REPRESENTATIVE.

WHEN VEHICLE OPERATES IN MOUNTAINOUS HIGHWAYS REQUIRING 3000-3500 RPM FOR CONTINUOUS LONG GRADE, OR A SERIES OF SMALLER GRADES WHICH HEAT THE TRANSMISSION. THE COMPUTER IS AUTOMATICALLY PROGRAMED TO SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE . THIS OCCURS WITHOUT REGARDS TRAFFIC, ROAD CONDITIONS OR SAFETY. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE LAST YEAR AND HAVE RECORDED 55 SEPARATE OCCASIONS OF SUCH OPERATING HAZARDS. THIS ACTIVITY LEAVES THE STRANDED VEHICLE AT THE EDGE OF THE ROADWAY FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME AS TRAFFIC FLIES BY AT EXCESS OF 65 MPH OR HIGHER. THE STRANDED VEHICLE REPRESENTS A HAZARD TO BOTH THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE VEHICLES IN TRANSIT NEARBY. THESE STOPS FOR THE VEHICLE CAN BE AS LONG AS THIRTY MINUTES FOR COOL DOWN. THE DANGERS POSED BY THIS ACTIVITY ARE GREATLY ENHANCED WHEN THIS OCCURS AT NIGHT. TRAFFIC STOPPED WITH LIGHTS AT ROADS EDGE ARE OFTEN CONFUSED WITH A MOVING VEHICLE AND DRIVERS PLOW INTO THE REAR OF THE STRANDED VEHICLE UNKNOWING IT IS AT A DEAD STOP. THESE COMPUTER GENERATED STOPS ARE INHERENTLY DANGEROUS. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE AN UNABLE TO MAKE THE DRIVE LINE MODIFICATIONS THAT WOULD ELIMINATE THE DANGERS POSED BY THIS DEFECT IN ENGINEERING. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT MADE AWARE TO THE MANUFACTURER IN TESTING TRIALS OF THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS LEMON!!!

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, THE TRANSMISSION WILL OVERHEAT, INDICATED BY A HIGH PITCH WINE AND THEN A WARNING LIGHT WHILE AT FREEWAY SPEED. ON MY VEHICLE IT DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER WHAT THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS. THIS THEN INVOLVES ME SITTING AT THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. DEALERS DO NOT OR WILL NOT SAY THERE IS A PROBLEM AFTER CHECKING THE DIAGNOSTICS, WHEN IT IS PLAINLY EVIDENT BASED ON A WEALTH OF INTERNET SITES TIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION, PARTICULARLY IN A JEEP PATRIOT. THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENT OCCURRENCES AS TIME GOES ON. MY ISSUES STARTED AT 2500 MILES, I AM AT 86,500 NOW. I CAN SAY THAT THE ISSUE HAS NEVER STARTED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, ONLY HAPPENS AT 60+ WITH AS LOW AS 2500 RPM INDICATED ON THE TACHOMETER.

ATLANTA RECALL: NO REPLACEMENT IN SIGHT RECALL SEPTEMBER 13, 2016. HOW SAFE IS THIS VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY. TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 30,000.

WE ARE CURRENTLY IN OUR 4TH STAY AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE MAY 2016 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND/OR ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR WILL DING AND LIGHT UP CAUSING THE WHEELS TO LOSE POWER (IT IS LIKE YOU ARE IN NEUTRAL), THE BRAKES TO BECOME HARD (YOU CAN'T DEPRESS THEM), AND THE STEERING BECOMES TIGHT. THE THREE PREVIOUS TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP (GRIFFIN DODGE TIFTON GA), WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED THE STABILITY CONTROL SENSOR, THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET, WIRING HARNESS TO THE TRANSMISSION, AND MOST RECENTLY THE CPU (FEB 2017).

MY VEHICLE WAS ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016 AND A REMEDY HAS YET TO BE OFFERED ON THE ISSUE AND IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 10 MONTHS. I ASSUMED SAFETY WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING THEY ADDRESSED IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER.

MY 2014 PATRIOT IS A 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH A 2.4 L ENGINE. IT HAS JUST UNDER 54000 MILES AND HAS RECENTLY (WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS) STARTED STALLING WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY NOT SUPER SERIOUSLY TO THE POINT OF LOSING ALL POWER AND BEING STRANDED, BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE. THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING IT DUE TO NO SENSOR OR WARNING LIGHTS, THEN ONE DAY FOR A SPLIT SECOND THE ETC LIGHT FLASHED. IT'S NEVER FLASHED SINCE AND THE CAR WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING WHEN MY BOYFRIEND DROVE IT. LAST WEEK WHILE STOPPED, WAITING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON DRY PAVEMENT MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED. FINALLY LAST WEEK AS WELL MY BOYFRIEND FELT IT STARTED TEMPORARILY WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, ON THE FREEWAY. NOW IT HAS STARTED NOT STARTING. ALL ELECTRICAL WILL WORK, BUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AS FAR AS ENGINE. IT HAD ONLY DONE THAT COUPLE TIMES, NOW, TODAY IT DID IT FOUR TIMES IN 4 HOURS. THE FIFTH TIME IT STARTED TO TURN OVER, THEN DIED MID-TURNOVER AND WOULDN'T START AGAIN. IT SAYS THERE WAS ORIGINALLY A RECALL ON THIS AND A COUPLE OTHER YEARS PATRIOT, COMPASS AND SOME OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS. NOT SURE IF MINE WAS FIXED OR NOT NOW DUE TO THE PROBLEM ARISING AT THIS POINT IN TIME. I'VE ONLY HAD THE JEEP SINCE MAY 2015. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND I'LL BE TAKING IT IN HOPEFULLY NEXT WEEK BUT I HAVE A DEDUCTIBLE. 'IF' MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY COVERS IT, I'LL HAVE RENTAL COVERAGE WHICH IS BETTER THAN SOME OTHER PEOPLE'S STORIES I'VE READ. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING MORE RECENT ISSUES? MOST OF WHAT I'VE READ WAS FROM LAST YEAR SOMETIME. I'VE ALSO READ THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS BEING A MORE CURRENT ISSUE AND REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY JEEP WILL GO OFF CONSTANTLY AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER THEM. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL ALSO TURN ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES PERIODICALLY WITH NO WARNING OR ABILITY TO CONTROL THEM. WHEN IT RAINS MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND HEADLIGHTS ARE UNPREDICTABLE AND I CAN NOT DRIVE SAFELY. I BELIEVE THESE ISSUES MAY BE IN CONNECTION TO THE RECENT NHTSA RECALL #16V-668 MANUFACTURER RECALL #S61. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE JULY OF 2016 AND HAPPENS WHENEVER MY CAR IS TURNED ON. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, CHRYSLER AUTOMOTIVE HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE SITUATION.

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016 JEEP DISCOVERED A SERIOUS, POSSIBLY FATAL RISK POTENTIAL ASSOCIATED WITH A SENSOR INVOLVED IN RESTRAINING SEAT BELTS AND DEPLOYING AIR BAGS "UNDER CERTAIN IMPACT CONDITIONS". AS AN OWNER, I WAS NOT APPRISED OF THIS RISK UNTIL JUNE 20, 2017. THEN, WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF A REPAIR TO CORRECT THIS LEMON I WAS "INFORMED", "ADVISED" THERE WAS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE AND SUCH REPAIR(S) MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR SIX MONTHS. I WAS GIVEN A VAGUE ESTIMATE, AND VAGUE "ASSURANCE" I WOULD BE APPRISED OF REPAIR AVAILABILITY WHEN READY. I ASKED, "SHOULD I BEE DRIVING THIS FLAW?" THEY HAD NO SPECIFIC GUIDANCE. SERIOUSLY? ACCORDINFLY, I AM INVOKING "LEMON LAW" AND DEMANDING FULL LIQUIDATION OF MY EXISTING AUTO LOAN AT JEEP'S EXPENSE. IF THEY DO NOT OBLIGE, I SHALL SEEK CIVIL SUIT DAMAGES BY JURY TRIAL FOR ADDED EMOTIONAL PAIN AND SUFFERING COUPLED WITH THEIR FAILURE TO FULLY-DISCLOSE POTENTIAL FATAL FLAW FOR OVER SIX MONTHS TO JEEP OWNERS. I EXPECT THE NHTSA TO MANAGE THIS CLAIM. PERIOD. WHAT A MESS. WHAT COUNTRY IS THIS? IS ANYONE WATCHING AND PROTECTING CONSUMERS? I EXPECT THE NHTSA TO FORCE JEEP TO IMMEDIATELY UNDERTAKE A FULL BUYBACK PROGRAM NO LATER THAN JULY 1, 2017. PERIOD.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE LOCAL DEALER (THOMAS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 9604 INDIANAPOLIS BLVD, HIGHLAND, IN 46322; (219) 924-6100) CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 2-3 HOURS, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AND THE CAR SPEED IS FORCED DOWN TO ABOUT 35-40 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN VEHICLES ARE TRAVELING BEHIND ME AND THE CAR IS EFFECTIVELY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. WHILE THE VEHICLE MAY BE OPERATING AS DESIGNED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS, IT SHOULDN'T OVERHEAT AFTER 2-3 HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. I AM NOT HAULING HEAVY CARGO OR EXCEEDING THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS.

THIS RECALL HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS INCREASING RISK OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF CERTAIN CRASHES, HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL NOT A REMEDY FROM THE DEALER. THE ORIGINAL RECALL DATE IS SEPTEMBER 2016, SO IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR. I FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE IMPERATIVE THAT A REMEDY IS PROVIDED IN A TIMELY FASHION TO PREVENT THE NEED TO PROVIDE A RECOUNT OF AN INJURY DUE TO A CRASH. NEARLY A YEAR SEEMS EXTENSIVE FOR PROVIDING A SUITABLE RESOLUTION TO AN ISSUE.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL S61/NHTSA 16V-668 NOTICE WAS RECEIVED FROM FCA ON 11/15/2016. AS OF 6/16/2017, THE RECALL STATUS IS: INCOMPLETE BUT REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. IT DOES NOT SEEM REASONABLE THAT AN IMPORTANT SAFETY DEFECT HAS GONE SO LONG WITHOUT A FIX BY THE COMPANY. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RISK IS: SAFETY DEFECT/NON COMPLIANCE DESCRIPTION AND SAFETY RISK: THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES. THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN SUCH CRASH EVENTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH. REPAIR DESCRIPTION: THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MUST BE REPLACED. FCA NEEDS TO EITHER PROVIDE FIXES VERY SOON, OR REPLACE THE VEHICLES.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND WENT TO THE WEBSITE TO SIGN UP FOR NOTIFICATION WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IT'S BEEN 8 MONTHS OR SO SINCE THE NOTICE AND STILL NO REPAIR. HOW LONG WILL THIS BE ALLOWED TO GO ON? I WANTED TO GIVE THIS CAR TO MY 16-YEAR-OLD SON BUT CAN'T DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

FIRST - OIL IS CHANGED ON TIME AND SPARK PLUGS WITH COILS WERE REPLACED. MAINTENANCE IS DONE ON THE CAR. APPROXIMATELY AT AROUND 58K MILES, THE CAR BEGAN TO "SKIP" WHEN ACCELERATING WHEN IT REACHES OVER 20 MPH AND REACHING BETWEEN 3-4 RPM. THIS WAS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE. TODAY AT 60K MILES, THE CAR ON CRUISE CONTROL, ON A SMALL INCLINE IN THE ROAD, CAME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP (FROM 65 MPH) AND THEN ACCELERATED AS IF I STOMPED ON THE GAS - REACHING ALMOST 5 RPM BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE LIGHTS FLASHED BRIEFLY ON THE DASH BOARD BUT NO ERROR MESSAGES REMAINED LIGHT. I CALLED A REPUTABLE REPAIR GUY AND WITHOUT ERROR LIGHTS THERE ISN'T MUCH ANYONE CAN TELL YOU. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER THREADS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NOTHING BEING DONE BY CHRYSLER DUE TO THE LIMITED NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS. MY INCIDENT TODAY OCCURRED DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND I COULD VERY WELL HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED OR REAR-ENDED SOMEONE ELSE. WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING BUT AM VERY CONCERNED AS I WORK OVER 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOME. ALSO VERIFIED NO RECALLS BY CALLING 1-800-247-9753 FOR THIS ISSUE.

SOMEONE IN A 3/4 TON WORK VAN RAN THROUGH A STOP LIGHT AND PLOWED IN TO THE RIGHT PASSENGER FRONT / SIDE OF MY JEEP WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WE WERE ON THE CITY STREETS.. THE IMPACT WAS SO GREAT THAT WHILE MAKING THE LEFT TURN AND BEING HIT SO HARD MY WIFE AND I WENT THROUGH A PIZZA SHOP HEAD ON. NONE OF THE 8 AIR BAGS IN MY JEEP WENT OFF. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE JEEPS AIR BAGS FOR WHICH I DID GET A HOLD OF THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL IS STILL OPEN AND NO THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX AT THIS TIME. NOW READING THE JEEPS FACTORY USER GUIDE THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF. THE JEEP DOES HAVE SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE AIR BAGS AND FROM READING THE FACTORY USER GUIDE IT STATES THAT THIS VEHICLE MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH SUPPLEMENTAL SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE AIR BAGS TO PROVIDE ENHANCED PROTECTION TO HELP PROTECT AN OCCUPANT DURING A SIDE IMPACT. IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD HAVE GONE OFF MY WIFE WOULDN'T HAVE GOT SO HURT. SHE NOW HAS A RIGHT CERVICAL STRAIN, LUMBAR CONTUSION, AND A RIGHT CLAVICLE FRACTURE. ALSO WITH THE HEAD ON COLLISION INTO THE BUILDING THE FRONT AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF THEY DID NOT.

I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION LAST YEAR ABOUT A RECALL & A REMEDY STILL HASN'T BEEN OFFERED. MY DAUGHTER IS NOW SOMETIMES DRIVES MY CAR AND I AM TERRIFIED. I KEEP BEING TOLD A SOLUTION WILL BE HERE NEXT MONTH, BUT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

S61 RECALL IN EFFECT SINCE SEPTEMBER 2016 (9 MONTHS). NO REMEDY HAS BEEN ISSUED AT THIS POINT. I HAVE BEEN IN A RENTAL FOR 15 WEEKS AND DEALING WITH OUT OF POCKET COSTS WHILE I WAIT ON REIMBURSEMENT. THIS HAS BECOME A HUGE HASSLE WITH NO END IN SIGHT. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS RECALLED VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE THAT I HAVE WORKING SAFETY DEVICES PROTECTING MY FAMILY AND I. JEEP NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE THESE VEHICLES BACK. I AM UNABLE TO TRADE IT IN ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN A JEEP DUE TO THE RECALL. THEY HAVE NOT OFFERED ANY TYPE OF REPLACEMENT AT THIS POINT, OTHER THAN THE HASSLE OF A LONG TERM RENTAL THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR UP FRONT AND WAIT ON REIMBURSEMENT.

ELECTRIC LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT TURN ON AND THE ENGINE IS ROUGH IDLING. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE OR BRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOME PRESSURIZED AND WILL NOT RESPOND OR DEPRESS.

WAS DRIVING ON I 95 SOUTH AND THE ENGINE JUST STARTER TO HESITATE AND QUIT FOR NO REASON. TOOK CAR TO CHRISLER DODGE DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND CHRISLER WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECORDS OF OIL CHANGES. NOVEMBER 6, 2013 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V552000 LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE MAY RESULT IN ENGINE STALL I ASKED ABOUT THIS ISSUE THAT WAS IDENTIFIED, BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE ISSUE HAD TO BE SPECIFFICALLY IDENTIFIED TO THE VIN NUMBER. BUT NOT TO WORRY, CHRISLER CAN SELL ME A NEW ENGINE FOR $6,900. THEY KEEP SAYING THE PARTS FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 MANUFACTURER CHRYSLER (FCA US LLC) COMPONENTS SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS STILL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I AM SURE FOR $2,000 OR SO, CHRISLER MAY BE ABLE TO GET THEM CASE BY CASE. FRUSTRATED!

RECEIVED NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016 THAT THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER WAS FAULTY AND WOULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF AIRBAG OR SEATBELT PRETENSIONER IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I HAVE CONTACTED FCA THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE AS WELL AS CALLED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER (JIM CLICK AUTO MALL) AND ARE TOLD ONLY THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. A YEAR AND NO PARTS IS NOT FIXING A PROBLEM THAT COULD LEAD TO DEATH IN A "TIMELY MANNER".

HIT A DEER WITH THIS CAR & AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY!!!!!!!!!! NO REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL!!!!! OUR OTHER CAR IS UNDER THIS SAME RECALL!!!!!!!

RECALL IN SEPTEMBER 2016. NOT RESOLVED AS OF MAY 2017. CAN NOT DRIVE WITH FRONT PASSENGERS AND SAFETY RISK FOR FAMILY. SEAT BELT LIGHT ON AND DINGS WITH PASSENGERS. MAIN VEHICLE FOR FAMILY. WHEN WILL THIS BE RESOLVED?

TAKATA INFLATOORS: THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES. SAFETY RISK: THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN SUCH CRASH EVENTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH.

AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY IN A 35 MPH FRONT END CRASH WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT MADE A LEFT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF MY JEEP PATRIOT.

RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY STILL NOT YET AVAILABLE.HE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES.

THE CONTACT SPOKE TO A DEALER THAT INFORMED THAR THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE BUT THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT HER ONCE THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE BRAKING AT 35 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO TIGHTEN AND RESTRAIN THE OCCUPANTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 900. VIN TOOL CONFIRMED PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE IT BANG TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND BUCKED AS I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE IT FORWARD. THE CAR HAS FEWER THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED PER THE DEALERS DIAGNOSTICS. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND, FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, IS A COMMON ISSUE. I HOPE THIS RESULTS IN A RECALL AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS HAD IT HAPPENED ONCE I WAS TRAVELING.

UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR REPAIR PARTS (8 MONTHS SO FAR) AND REFUSAL TO PROVIDE LOANER OR RENTAL VEHICLE.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER 2016 BUT WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE "REPAIR PARTS NOT AVAILABLE." NOW, 8 MONTHS LATER, PARTS ARE STILL "UNAVAILABLE" AND I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE WHOSE AIRBAG AND/OR SEAT BELTS MAY NOT WORK IN AN ACCIDENT, CAUSING MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS SERIOUS INJURY. HOW CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE PERMITTED?

YESTERDAY AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND DRIVING WAS VERY JERKY. TODAY ON THE FREEWAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WAS FLASHING AGAIN. LUCKILY, SAFE MODE DIDN'T KICK ON UNTIL AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY AS I WAS ONLY ABLE TO ACCELLERATE TO 20 MPH THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO BE SHIFTING HARD WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY . ALSO, WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A STOP, IT'S CHUGGING AND JERKING. IT IS THROWING ERROR CODES $07E8 AND $07E9.

MY JEEP OVERHEATS REGULARLY, NO TOWING JUST REGULAR COLORADO HWY DRIVING, MAKES HIGH PITCHED WHINING SOUNDS, AND LOSES POWER. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO GO OFF, RESUME DRIVING, AND PULL OVER AGAIN WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON. OVER AND OVER THIS HAPPENS. DEALERSHIP SAYS NO ERROR CODE ON THE ENGINE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

UPON ENTERING A MAJOR HIGH WAY SYSTEM, THE ENGINE ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, REGARDLESS OF THE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL. IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING RESISTING THE ACCELERATION. THERE I AM IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 6 LANE BRIDGE WITH FREE WAY TRAFFIC GOING 60MPH AND I AM DECELERATING (EVEN WITH ADEQUATE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS) WHEN COMES ELECTRICAL THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE GUY DRIVING THE TOW TRUCK SAID I WAS HIS 4TH JEEP TODAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND AMONG MANY THIS MONTH.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS MADE IN 2014. HERE IT IS 2017 AND THERE STILL IS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL. WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG? RECALL S61/ NHTSA 16V-668. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS LONG TO CORRECT A SAFETY ISSUE.

I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE AN UNRELATED ISSUE LOOKED AT AND WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE POSSIBLE FAILURE OF MY SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY OTHER NOTIFICATION ABOUT THIS MATTER. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JUNE/JULY OF THIS YEAR. I WILL RISK THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, INCLUDING A TEEN DRIVER, IF I CONTINUE TO OPERATE THIS CAR BEFORE THE REPAIR CAN BE MADE.

THERE IS NO REMEDY TO THIS RECALL AND ITS REDICULOUS. WE ARE FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE. WE CANT EVEN TRADE IT IN BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WONT TAKE IT. ALSO OUR BODILY INJURY INSURANCE FOR THIS JEEP IS FIVE TIMES WHAT IT USED TO COST. WE FINANCED THIS JEEP, IT IS UNBELIEVEABLE THAT WE HAVE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT COULD POTENTIONALLY HURT US WORSE IF WE WERE IN A CRASH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO DONE IMMEDIATELY.

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER OVER 2 MONTHS AGO AND STILL THERE ARE NO UPDATES ON WHEN THEY WILL BE FIXING THE PROBLEM. WHY IS AN AIRBAG AND SEATBELT ISSUE TAKING SO LONG TO TAKE CARE OF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THIS RECALL AND I WAS GOING TO TRADE MY VEHICLE IN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CANT GIVE AS MUCH FOR IT CAUSE IT HAD A RECALL SO I FEEL THAT THIS IS UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY AND NOW I WONT GET WHAT ITS WORTH SO IF I WANT TO TRADE IT IN I WILL HAVE NEGATIVE EQUITY WHICH I THINK IS UNFAIR I SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS MORE TO GET MY CAR DOWN TO WHERE I WONT HAVE NEGATIVE EQUITY THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT THIS HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE 9/16/2016

PURCHASED MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT PRE-OWNED FROM A LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP. APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND SHUT DOWN. I WAS GOING 55 AND IT ALL OF THE SUDDEN SLOWED TO 30MPH. THANK GOODNESS I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AS SOON AS I GOT TO THE SHOULDER, I SHUT THE CAR OFF THEN RESTARTED AND WAS FINE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. THEN 3 DAYS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HADN'T HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE. DEBATED ON TAKING THE VEHICLE IN ANYWAY BUT NEXT TIME IT STARTED AND HAS DRIVEN WITHOUT STALLING SINCE THEN. WELL, A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THE GAS PEDAL STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN WHERE IT FELT LIKE IT HAD A BRIEF LAG IN THE ACCELERATION. I STOPPED FOR GAS ON MY WAY HOME AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP! I AM SCARED EVERY TIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL THAT ITS GOING TO TRY TO STALL WHILE I AM DRIVING OR I WILL END UP STRANDED SOMEWHERE. IN PURCHASING A JEEP I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE JEEP BRAND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE VEHICLE, NOT SO MUCH NOW. I WILL NEVER WASTE MY MONEY ON ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES AGAIN!

I HAVE A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT (HIGH ALTITUDE ). I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT MY SUV IN REVERSE AND STARTED TO BACK OUT. I ONLY MADE IT ABOUT 3 FEET. SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOAD BANG AND FELT A BLOW(HIT) TO MY HEAD AND NECK. IT WAS REALLY FAST AND HARD. IT HIT SO HARD THAT I THOUGHT I WAS IN A WRECK OR SOMETHING . MY SON WAS FREAKED OUT AT THE NOISE AND THOUGHT SOMETHING HIT US TOO. AFTER LOOKING OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AND FINDING NOTHING, I NOTICED THE HEADREST WAS MESSED UP. APPARENTLY THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED. I DID SOME SEARCHES ONLINE AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL AT ALL. ESPECIALLY WHILE YOUR CAR IS IN REVERSE. THIS ALSO ONLY HAPPENED ON THE DRIVER SEAT ONLY.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL THROUGH THE MAIL FROM THE FCA US LLC. I'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED A FORM FOR NOTIFICATIONS ON WHEN THE PARTS AVAILABLE AS OF 12/08/2016. SINCE THEN I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY UPDATES AS TO WHEN AND WHERE THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

RECALL ISSUED BY CHRYSLER IN SEPTEMBER 2016 INVOLVING DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS AND FRONT SEATBELT PRETENSIONERS. IT IS NOW FEBRUARY 2017 AND CHRYSLER STILL HAS NOT FIXED THIS SAFETY ISSUE IN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. ESSENTIALLY, I'M DRIVING IN A CAR WHERE I COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED, DUE TO CHRYSLER'S NEGLIGENCE IN RESOLVING THIS RECALL PROPERLY.

CAR TURNS OVER BUT WON'T FIRE. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IT'S THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) THAT WILL COST 1200.00 TO FIX. HAPPENED EXITING HIGHWAY RAMP. CAR DIED BUT WOULDN'T RESTART.

WATER LEAKS FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD AND, IF IT IS RAINING HARD ENOUGH, INTO AND OUT OF THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS, WHICH IS WORRISOME BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL FACTOR. WE NOTICED THE LEAKAGE AFTER GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING OUR USED JEEP. WE BROUGHT IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS FIXED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS UNTIL IT RAINED HEAVILY AND WE NOTICED WATER STREAMING IN, YET AGAIN. WE HAVE ALSO SINCE NOTICED THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE GETS SOAKED AFTER IT RAINS AS WELL AND WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT IS COMING FROM. IT SEEMS OVERALL THAT OUR JEEPS SEALANTS ARE VERY FAULTY.

I'VE COMPLAINED HERE 2 WEEKS AGO BUT NOW AN UPDATE -- TODAY WAS THE SECOND TIME WHICH WAS MORE SERIOUS AS NOT ONLY THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON , BUT THE MIL LIGHT AND THEN THE EAC LIGHT. AFTER STALLING AND RESTARTING AND PLUGGING MY WAY HOME -- WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT , FOOT ON BRAKE ON A HILL, THE CAR SEEMED TO RPM VERY HIGHLY AND SEEMED TO WANT TO ACCELERATE (WHILE A PEDESTRIAN CROSSED IN FRONT OF ME AT THE LIGHT). AT THAT TIME -- OR AROUND THAT TIME -- ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON -- ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, BUT APPEARED TO SWOOP INTO HIGH GEAR WHILE SITTING WITH BRAKE ON PEDAL. IT THEN DWINDLED DOWN TO THE PREVIOUS 3 LIGHTS. LATER WHEN I MADE IT HOME AFTER SEVERAL STALLS, I WENT OUT TO START IT . THE MIL LIGHT LIGHTS FIRST, AND ALTHOUGH IT'S SUPPOSE TO WARN ME ABOUT SEAT-BELTS THAT HAS STOPPED. THEN THE ETC LIGHT COMES ON AFTER ABOUT 1 MINUTE OR SO, AND THE EAC WHICH STAYS ON.I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR DO THIS EVER! SO DANGEROUS! THE SEATBELT LIGHT? THIS HAS GOT TO BE ELECTRICAL. CHRYSLER HAS NEVER FIXED THEIR JEEP PROBLEMS -- THIS IS A REPEATED ISSUE WITH ALL OF THEIR JEEPS . I WAS IN DOWNTOWN DULUTH GOING ONLY 30 MPH BUT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO PAST THAT SPEED AS IT KEPT ATTEMPTING TO STALL OUT. I'M SORRY I COULDN'T TAKE PICTURES WHILE IN THE MIDST OF A PANIC.

TAKATA RECALL. I WANT A TIMELY REMEDY TO THIS SITUATION!

JEEP HAS FAILED TO FIX THE ITEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL IN A REASONABLE TIME PERIOD.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO STALL AND THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR SEEMED TO GO NEUTRAL, THEN GAG, THEN REGAINED IT'S COMPOSURE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF. CAR WAS IN COLD WEATHER BUT NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE, IN MN. TEMPS THE MANUAL SAID IT WAS THE ETC ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL, BUT DIDN'T INDICATE IT WAS A MAJOR CONCERN, UNLESS LIGHT STAYED ON . WHAT WOULD BE A MAJOR CONCERN OTHER THAN GETTING REAR ENDED BY A PILE OF CARS? I'VE NEVER HAD THIS WITH ANY CAR, IT WAS TOTALLY A NEW LIGHT I'VE NEVER SEEN. I MADE IT TO WORK AFTERWARDS. ON THE WAY BACK HOME, THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN -- FLASHING, THEN OFF -- CAR STAYED ROLLING. PERHAPS IT IS MORE INCLINED TO STALL GOING UPHILL WITH THE ETC, AND WHILE IT'S ROLLING DOWNHILL, LESS INCLINED TO STALL? WHO KNOWS, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS IS JUST A COUPLE PATRIOTS OUT THERE, BECAUSE THERE'S ALREADY MORE THAN 500 PEOPLE WHO'VE COMPLAINED OF THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED DEALER - BUT THEY DID NOT ADMIT TO ANY RECALLS FOR MY PATRIOT - EVEN WHEN I STATED OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS EXACT ISSUE. I AM VERY RELUCTANT TO TAKE MY JEEP ANYWHERE BUT A FEW BLOCKS IN THIS WINTER WEATHER. THIS WAS TRULY THE FIRST TIME I FELT UNSAFE IN IT. MILEAGE IS 89,000. HOWEVER, SHOULD AN ACCIDENT OCCUR I WILL CERTAINLY SUE THE COMPANY. *TR

IN AUGUST 2016 DRIVING ALONG AND THE CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT AND ELECTRICAL LIGHT AND MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE STAYED ON AS WELL AND THE CAR SPUTTERED THEN STOPPED. WOULD NOT GO. HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ELECTRONIC BODY THROTTLE NEEDED REPLACED. RIDICULOUS,I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP BUT DIDN'T HEAR BACK SO I HAD IT FIXED AND REPLACED. MONDAY DECEMEBER 12TH WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 45 MILES AN HOUR MY JEEP STALLED AND THEN COMPLETELY DIED ON THE ROAD. I MANAGED TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD AT A COAST. HAD IT TOWED AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC SAID I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED THE MECHANIC SAID "DUE TO ABRASIVE DEBRIS IN THE BALANCE SHAFT BEARINGS, THESE ENGINES MAY HAVE A LOSS OF ENGINE OIL PRESSURE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ENGINE STALL OR ENGINE FAILURE," SAID NHTSA IN ITS SUMMARY OF THE PROBLEM. "IF THE ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING, IT MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH." THE SAME AS THE RECALL,I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND MY JEEP WAS NOT ON THE RECALL. JUST BECAUSE IT WASN'T ON THE LIST DOES NOT MEAN THERE COULD NOT BE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY JEEP DID THE SAME THING TWICE WHILE DRIVING,STALLED AND THEN DIED. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION FILL PIPE BROKE OFF AND WAS HANGING UNDER THE CAR. LUCKILY WE NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS HANGING OFF THE CAR WHILE IT WAS PARKED, MY BOYFRIEND REACHED UNDER THE CAR TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND IT CAME OFF IN HIS HAND. HAD IT FALLEN OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR IT COULD HAVE FALLEN OFF AND WE WOULD HAVE NEVER NOTICED IT AND HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AT SOME POINT. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT PRETENDED LIKE THEY'D NEVER HEAR OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE BUT A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MANY PATRIOT AND CALIBER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. I ALSO SUSPECT THAT A LOT OF THESE HAVE FALLEN OFF WITHOUT THE OWNERS EVEN REALIZING IT.

RECALL FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT DEPLOYMENT.

VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES.
