2014 Jeep Patriot complaints

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

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

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.

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 BA

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.
