2013 Jeep Patriot complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 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 CONTACT CALLED THOMAS CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, RAM AT (740) 695-0452 (67791 MALL RD, ST CLAIRSVILLE, OH 43950) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.*BF CONSUMER STATED COMPLETED 10/26/17 9AM. PURCHASE DATED IS AFTER INCIDENT DATE UPDATED 7/25/18*JB

THE CAR STALLED AND OVER HEATS. IT DOESN'T TAKE DRIVE AS FAST IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE AND WHEN I TRIED TO GAS IT THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND IT CUT OFF.

ENGINE WILL OVERHEAT AFTER TRAVELING 20 MILES OR SO AT AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 55 WHEN A/C IS IN USE. ENGINE WILL OVERHEAT AFTER TRAVELING 30 MILES AT AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 55 WHEN A/C IS NOT IN USE. CONTINUES TO BE A SAFETY ISSUES, BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER VEHICLE PURCHASE IN 2013 AT 15000 HOWEVER DEALER CHECKED FOR PROBLEM AND STATED NONE WAS FOUND. PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE MECHANICS CHECK AND NOT FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. LAST INCIDENT HAD 9 STOPS FOR A 69.7 MILE TRIP.

THE PATRIOT CVT TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND SUBJECT TO EARLY TRANSMISSION FAILURE. AROUND 90,000 MILES, MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN OVERHEATING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AN AVERAGE OF 65-70MPH FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR, TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON AND CAR BEGINS TO LOSE POWER. IT'S NECESSARY TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR COOLDOWN WITH CAR TURNED OFF FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES- WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DO ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, SOMETIMES AT NIGHT. JEEP STATES THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN UNLESS YOU ARE TOWING OR THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IS EXCEEDINGLY HOT. MY PATRIOT DOES THIS EVERY TIME I TAKE A TRIP THAT REQUIRES AN HOUR OR MORE OF HIGHWAY DRIVING, REGARDLESS OF TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT I DO NOT TOW ANYTHING EVER. TRANSMISSION WHINES LOUDLY IN THE PROCESS AND THE CAR WILL SLOWLY LOSE ACCELERATION POWER RIGHT BEFORE THE OVERHEAT LIGHT TURNS ON. IT'S A SCARY EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME. I'VE TAKEN MY JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER- THEIR SOLUTION OF CHANGING OUT SOME VALVES DID NOT PROVE TO BE EFFECTIVE AS THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. INTERSTINGLY ENOUGH, JEEP CEASED USING THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN 2014 AFTER ONLY 2 YEARS- IM ASSUMING THIS PROBLEM HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.

MULTIPLE TIMES DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILS AND LOCKS UP. GOING 70MPH I SUDDENLY LOSE ACCELERATION COMPLETELY AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI. I CAN GO ABOUT 45MPH ON THE INTERSTATE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE TO FIND A SPOT TO PULL OVER. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS HURT AND THERE WAS A PLACE AT THAT TIME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE SEMI BARRELING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN BEHIND ME

ON 2/11/17 I BOUGHT A 2013 CERTIFIED JEEP PATRIOT FROM A JEEP DEALERSHIP IN BRYON,OHIO. CERTIFIED MEANT THAT 125 POINTS ON THE JEEP WERE CHECKED FOR ROAD WORTHINESS TIRES WAS ON THE LIST THAT WAS INSPECTED. ON 2/18/17 WHILE PUTTING MUD FLAPS ON THE JEEP. I SAW THAT ALL 4 TIRES WHICH HAD 4,300 MILES ON THEM WERE CRACKING IN THE RUBBER IN BETWEEN THE TIRE THREAD. THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL FIRESTONE AFFINITY TIRES THAT CAME ON THE JEEP WHEN NEW. DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE JEEP FROM TOLD ME TO TAKE THE JEEP TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR OF BAD TIRES.( I BOUGHT THE JEEP 156 MILES FROM MY HOME) LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID TIRES ARE THE TIRE MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY. FIRESTONE CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE SAYS IT'S JEEP'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF TIRES SINCE JEEP CERTIFIED THAT THE TIRES CHECKED OUT FINE DURING THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS. FIRESTONE HAS STOPPED MAKING THIS TIRE. I ALSO SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THESE TIRES. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS OF DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON THESE TIRES AND SUMMER HEAT TO BE HERE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I 'M GOING TO BUY NEW ANYTHING BUT FIRESTONE TIRES, AND THE SEEK RECOURSE ON MY COSTS FOR TIRES.

I OWN A 2013 JEEP PATRIOT. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH IT AND I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2012. FROM IT TURNING COMPLETELY OFF ON ME WHILE SITTING AT LIGHTS. TO IT HAVING POWER SURGES, AND THE SEATBELTS STOP WORKING. I HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED MARCH OF 2016 AND IT ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT TO DATE. ACCORDING TO WHAT CHRYSLER SAID, IT MALFUNCTIONED ON ME AND IT LEFT ME STRANDED ON A FREEWAY LATE AT NIGHT. THERE IS A CONSTANT ISSUE WITH THE COOLANT SYSTEM. AND I AM NOW NEEDING ANOTHER ENGINE IT, BECAUSE OF THAT ISSUE. AND CHRYSLER WONT COVER IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER JEEP VEHICLE.

WATER LEAKS FROM THE LIGHT ABOVE THE DASH. IT IS VERY DANGEROUSLY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, BUT ALSO HAS FRIED MY STEREO/COMPUTER ONCE ALREADY. IT HAS NOW SOAKED ALL OF THE FRONT INTERIOR AND HAS STARTED TO AFFECT MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS AND THEY CANNOT FIND OR FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS, BUT NOT ALWAYS, IT BUILDS UP AND COLLECTS SOMEWHERE AND COMES OUT AT VARIOUS TIMES..WHILE STATIONARY OR DRIVING...THE WORST IS WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING CORNERS, IT WIL POUR OUT WATER ONTO THE DRIVER OR THE PASSENGER SIDE DEPENDING ON THE TURN.

CAR DECELERATES WHILE DRIVING ALMOST STALLING AT TIMES, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY STATE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT I DON'T THINK THEY TRIED SINCE THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS FOR DIAGNOSTICS/TESTING DRIVING AND DROVE LESS THAN 10 MILES. VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE. THIS IS THE 2ND PATRIOT I HAVE OWNED AND WILL BE MY LAST. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AND LOOSES POWER. IT WILL MAKE A HIGH PITCHED WHINING NOISE AND THEN THE OVERHEATING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER. VERY SCARY IN 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 TIMES SINCE JUNE 2015 WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. HAS BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS THAT CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT MY PATRIOT, IT WOULD EXPERIENCE INSTANCES OF SLOW ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT IN A COUPLE TIMES AND THEY FOUND NOTHING. ON JUNE 11, 2016, I HAD BEEN DRIVING AROUND 65 MPH ON I-285 AND EXPERIENCED SOME HESITATION. I EXITED 285 TO I-20 AND THEN ON TO SURFACE ROADS. I STOPPED AT THE KROGER. AS I PARKED THE STABILITY CONTROL, THROTTLE SENSOR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED TO DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. THEY PUT THE POD ON IT AND IT SHOWED BAD SENSOR. THE GUY SAID IT WAS POSSIBLY THE THROTTLE BODY. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME BUT IT WAS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I BROUGHT IT BACK ON JUNE 13 AND LEFT IT WITH THEM. ON JUNE 14, THEY SAID THE DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED HIGH AIR FLOW/VACUUM LEAK AND THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED REPLACING. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THREE OTHER INSTANCES OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS WITH THE SAME REPAIRS. THIS HAS GOT TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AND WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER DONE SOMETHING?

MY GRANDDAUGHTER GOT TRAP WITH THE SEAT BELT (REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR) THE MORE WE TRIED TO RELEASE IT THE TIGHTER IT GOT, EVEN THOUGH WE UNHOOKED IT. WE HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT TO GET HER OUT. IF IT HELPS SHE IS ABOUT 5'2" AND WEIGHS ABOUT 125 LBS. I AM TAKING IT TOO AUTOSERV IN TILTON NH 03276 TO BE LOOKED AT ON 4/4/2016.

APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO MY VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A HIGH PITCHED WHINING NOISE BUT HAD NO OTHER SYMPTOMS. THEN, 5 DAYS AGO I FELT THE VEHICLE SHUTTER ONLY ONCE. SINCE I DID NOT FEEL IT AGAIN OVER A PERIOD OF DAYS, I CHALKED IT UP TO BEING SENSITIVE AND THOUGHT IT COULD HAVE BEEN IN BETWEEN GEARS OR SOMETHING. THIS PAST SATURDAY I TOOK A 2 1/2 HOUR TRIP TO NORTH CAROLINA FROM VIRGINIA. ON THE WAY THERE WE STOPPED QUITE A BIT AND HAD NO ISSUES. ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON I STARTED BACK TOWARD VIRGINIA AND FELT THE SAME SHUTTER I FELT DAYS BEFORE AND THE WHINING PERSISTED. SINCE A FRIEND OF MINE WAS FOLLOWING ME BACK TO VIRGINIA I DECIDED TO DRIVE IT HOME. AN HOUR AND A HALF INTO THE DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE GAGE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND SO FAR I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL. I'M EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED IF THAT IS THE CASE BECAUSE THAT IS A BIG SAFETY RISK AND I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN. THE LAST THING I NEED IS TO BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN THE BLAZING HEAT (LIKE I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON SATURDAY IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY FRIEND) WITH A 2 AND 4 YEAR OLD. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY REQUESTED A RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE. IT ALSO FRUSTRATES ME THAT, AT THE VERY MINIMUM, I WILL HAVE A BILL FOR A $90 DIAGNOSTIC FEE FROM T
