2015 Jeep Patriot complaints

I BOUGHT MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT ON JULY 4, 2020. EVERY SINCE I'VE HAD MY TRUCK, THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO 4 MECHANICS AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A PROBLEM. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I GOT THE TRUCK FROM HAS NOT EVEN TRIED TO CONTACT ME BACK ABOUT THEM FIXING IT FOR ME. I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T WORK AT THIS POINT.

DRIVING ON A CITY STREET GOING 45MPH WHEN RANDOMLY CAR ACCELERATION JUST DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH. CAN'T ACCELERATE CAR FEELS LIKE IS BARELY GOT ANY ACCELERATION POWER. ESC AND ETC LIGHTS TURN ON.

THE HEADREST DEPLOYED ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING. I WAS TOLD BU MY WIFE TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED AND THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE METAL BAR THAT LOCKS HEADREST IN PLACE WAS BROKEN. THE METAL SHAFT IS STILL LOCKED IN PLACE . PLEASE SEE PICTURES. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL A JEEP DEALERSHIP. I NOTIFIED BAY DODGE JEEP CHRYSLER IN PANAMA CITY AND HAVE THEM CHECK FOR ANY RECALLS. THEY TOLD ME NO AND I GET WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO GET A NEW ONE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR DEFECT.

WHILE DRIVING, MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT HEAD REST EXPLODED AND IS NOW UNABLE TO GO BACK TOGETHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL AND FAILED TO ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TONY DOMIANO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, 816 SCRANTON CARBONDALE HWY, ARCHBALD, PA 18403, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ASSEMBLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND WAS PROVIDED WITH A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000. *BF *AS

VEHICLE HESITATES WHILE ACCELERATING ON FLAT OR INCLINED GROUND. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) INDICATOR LIGHT WILL COME DURING THE HESITATION AND GO OFF WHEN POWER RESUMES. SEE ATTACHED PHOTO FOR REFERENCE. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THE RED LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE CAR HAS GONE INTO LIMP MODE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRACTION AN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE CAR CAN BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AND THIS OCCASIONALLY CLEARS IT. AT TIMES AN OBD-II COMPUTER MUST BE USED TO CLEAR THE CODES AND THEN RESUME DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY SINCE 2018.

TIPM IS FAULTY AFTER ONLY 79,000 MILES ON THE CAR.

ABOUNT THREE MONTHS AGO THE JEEP STATED TO STALE AS I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AS I PULLED OVER IT JUST DIED NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON I TOWED IT TO MY HOUSE THEN TRIED IT AFTER A FEW DAYS AND LIKE NOTHING THEN IT STARTED OVERHEATING SO I PARKED IT AGAIN WAITED A DAY TRYED IT AGAIN AND EVER SINCE NOTHING IT CRANKS BUT WONT TURN OVER ITS JUST DEAD THE MILAGE IS AT 47000 ITS BEEN A WASTE OF TIME MONEY EFFORT VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS JEEP I AM ON FOOT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PROTECTE CONSUMERS

I HAVE A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT WITH 65,000 MILES ON IT. OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO CUT OFF OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE DRIVING. THE RPM DROPS TO ZERO AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. NO ERROR CODES SHOW UP. NOTHING. IT STARTS BACK UP, USUALLY WITH NO ISSUE BUT THEN DOES IT AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER. IT HAPPENS VERY SPORADICALLY AND SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. IT HAPPENS WHILE GOING SLOW, GOING FAST, WHILE ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND WE LIVE ON BACK ROADS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT THERE ARE THIS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE AND THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL.

HEADREST WAS DEPLOYED ON DRIVERS SIDE, NOTICED SMALL PLASTIC PIECE WITHIN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE HEADREST WAS BROKEN. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT RESIDENCE, UPON ENTERING AND SITTING DOWN I REALIZED THAT THE HEADREST WAS NOT SET BACK AND THEN REALIZED THERE WAS AN ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50 M.P.H., WHEN THE HEADREST ON THE PASSENGER'S SEAT EXPLODED. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS SEATED IN IT AT THE TIME. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL JEEP MODELS. I AM NOW CONCERNED, WONDERING WHEN OR IF THE DRIVER'S SIDE MAY DEPLOY WHILE I AM DRIVING.

TWO MONTHS AGO MY JEEP STARTED BUCKING VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING AFTER IT SAT FOR A MONTH BEING DRIVEN MAYBE ONCE A WEEK. I REFILLED THE TANK WITH PREMIUM AND IT STILL DIDN'T HELP. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. IT STOPPED DOING THAT FOR FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS BUT NOW IT STARED DOING IT AGAIN. IT DOES IT WHEN I'M AM ACCELERATING FROM A SLOW DOWN AND ALSO ONCE I GET UP TO 60 ON THE HIGHWAY

THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WAS REPAIRED IN NOVEMBER OF 2019. IT IS JULY OF 2020, I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 2500 MILES SINCE THE INITIAL REPAIR AND THE VEHICLE IS PRODUCING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS IT WAS BEFORE THE REPAIR. IT HESITATES, ALMOST STALLS, AND LUNGES WHILE DRIVING. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE DRIVE BY WIRE WARNING LIGHT ALL FLASH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND RUNNING.

THE POWER STEERING HOSE CLAMP MAY NOT BE INSTALLLED CORRECTLY DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS THE LOW PRESSURE POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE MAY DETACH AND CAUSE A LARGE VOLUME POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK

VEHICLE STALLED AND LURCHED UPON ACCERALING FROM A TRAFFIC RED LIGHT. THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE LIGHT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD. PURCHASED WITH LOAN FOUR DAYS AGO. INITIALLY SAME THING OCCURRED WITH HIGH RPM AS WELL. NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AT FIRST. FIFTH DAY OF DRIVING THIS REVEALED THE WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD. DEALER INDICATED RECALL FIXED PRIOR TO SALE. VEHICLE WARNING LIGHT STILL APPEARS. RPMS TOO HIGH ON ACCELERATION. REPAIR SHOP INDICATED THE RECALL DID NOT FIX ISSUE AND NEEDS TO HAVE JEEP DEALER CHECK IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND INDEPENDENTLY RESTARTED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. FOX CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 3844 PLAINFIELD AVE NE, GRAND RAPIDS, MI 49525, WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

HEADREST SAFETY SYSTEM DEPLOYED BY ITSELF.

PURCHASED THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOT 02/2018 FROM CARMAX IN COLUMBIA, SC. MILEAGE WAS JUST OVER 27,000 MILES. IT CAME WITH A 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. 3/2/2019 - A T355 TRANSAXLE 2 WD, 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, AND CLUTCH. 4/15/2020 - PATRIOT WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP, CARTHAGE, TN. CLUTCH WENT OUT, REPLACED THE SLAVE CYLINDER, MASTER CLUTCH CYLINDER. 6/26/2020 - TOOK THE PATRIOT TO THE SHOP, CARTHAGE, TN. TRANSAXLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IN 2019, THE POWERTRAIN WAS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, WE SPOKE TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THEY REFUSED TO DO THE WORK. WHEN WE CONTACTED JEEP 06/2020 WHEN THE JEEP TRANSMISSION WAS DEEMED NEEDED REPLACING AGAIN, JOSH, IN MANAGEMENT, INFORMED US THAT JEEP WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AS THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED IN FEBRUARY OF 2020. RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT FROM 2007 TO 2016, THE 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE. WE CURRENTLY STILL OWE 8000.00 DOLLARS ON THE VEHICLE. WE ARE NOT WILLING TO PUT ANY MONEY INTO ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. BY THE TIME WE DID, WE WOULD HAVE OVER 5000.00 DOLLARS IN A WORTHLESS PIECE OF GARBAGE THAT IS NOT RELIABLE. OTHER ISSUES: TOTAL RIGHT FRONT REBUILD WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. OVERALL, THE VEHICLE IS A LEMON, AND WE NEED AN INVESTIGATION OPENED, AS JEEP HAS REFUSED TO ASSIST IN ANYWAY OR TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, THE STEERING LOCKED AND I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKILY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN TURNING THE KEY. ALSO NO HORN, NO LIGHTS ... NOTHING. A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED 2 YEARS AGO AND THE JEEP DEALER STATED IT WAS A COMPUTER ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING THE THROTTLE BODY GOING INTO LIMP MODE. FEELS LIKE A HICCUP. DODGE IN IOWA HAS 40 OTHER VEHICLES WAITING ON THE SAME PART FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND MY JEEP STARTED TO JERK ALL OF A SUDDEN. I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING IN MAY AND THE LAST TIME IS HAPPENED WAS JUNE 22 2020. JEEP NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RECALL ASAP! *TR

I WAS TURNING ONTO MY STREET AND MY WHEELS LOCKED UP. I PARKED CAR (MY SON WAS IN THE BACK 3.9 YEARS OLD) AND NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD, OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW A HUGE FIRE. WENT TO STORE SO HAD WATER - POURED 6 WATER BOTTLES ON THE FIRE TO PUT IT OUT.*DT CONSUMER STATED INCIDENT OCCURRED 5 HOURS AFTER THE OIL CHANGE THAT DAY.*JB *TR

DRIVING ON HWY 90 FOR AN HOUR GOING 70MPH. LOUD WHINING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE ENGINE THEN TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN EVEN WITH TRYING TO KEEP SPEED. SPEED KEPT DECREASING SO I PULLED OVER FOR 20 MINUTES AND WENT HOME. *TR

2015 JEEP PATRIOT HAS STALLED, LOST POWER, AND SHUT DOWN ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN MOTION ON THE STREET AND HIGHWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM OF WINTER HAVEN (299 CYPRESS GARDENS BLVD, WINTER HAVEN, FL 33880) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STARTED DROPPING TO 0 RPM DURING DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND SITUATIONS (SOME 30MPH, SOME 60MPH, SOME TURNING, SOME GOING STRAIGHT, BUT NEVER STALLED WHILE STOPPED) ON AND OFF FOR A WEEK WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR FAULT CODES PRESENT. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 8 MONTHS PREGNANT GOING 65MPH THE JEEP STALLED OUT AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT SHOWED UP AS A CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAULT, WE REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND NOW IT IS STUCK IN TIP START MODE AND WILL NOT START! THIS IS THE 3RD BRAND SENSOR THAT HAS BEEN TRIED. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2016 RECALL ISSUE (SAFETY RECALL S89 / NHTSA 16V-907 CRANKSHAFT CAMSHAFT SENSOR WIRE HARNESS) THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS SAFETY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOT HAVING REOCCURRING SIMILAR ISSUES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS IS A 1 OWNER PURCHASED BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN CARED FOR PROPERLY AND HAS HAD MORE ISSUES THAN A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD. STALLING OUT AT 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHILE 8 MONTHS PREGNANT COULD OF KILLED ME AND MY UNBORN CHILD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

HEADREST "SAFETY" FEATURE DEPLOYED WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. HEADREST WILL NOT GO BACK IN RESULTING IN THE AIR BAG LIGHT NOT BEING ABLE TO BE RESET. VEHICLE WAS NOT CRANKED OR MOVING WHEN HEADREST DEPLOYS.

MY CAR WAS IN MOTION AND I LOST POWER WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. I GOT THE CAR TOWED AND WHEN IT ARRIVED AT THE MECHANIC IT STARTED BACK UP JUST FINE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AS NO ERROR MESSAGE WAS ON MY DASHBOARD, THEREFORE THEIR DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL. THE MECHANIC KEPT MY CAR FOR A WHILE AND IT FINALLY GAVE OUT ON THEM AGAIN AND THEY DISCOVERED BY THROTTLE BODY HAD GONE OUT. I HAD THIS ISSUE IN MAY OF 2017 AND HAD IT FIXED AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND LESS THAN 3 YEARS LATER MY CAR HAS THE VERY SAME ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THERE WAS A PERIODIC JERK AND THAN IT BEGAN TO LOOSE ACCELERATION. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON GAS IT WOULDN'T GO AND THAN IT JUST DIED. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS BATTERY SO WE REPLACED BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE PERIODIC JERK AND THE BATTERY LIGHT NOW COMES ON AND OFF. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO TAKE MY SON TO SCHOOL, WHEN WHILE ON A BUSY CITY STREET MY CAR STARTED TO JERK, AND SUDDENLY I WAS NO LONGER TO ACCERALATE. I WAS LITERALLY SCARED FOR MY LIFE AND MY CHILD, AS THE SPEED OF MY CAR SLOWED DOWN SO FAST, THAT I ALMOST GOT REARENDED. WHEN MY CAR SLOWED DOWN AND COULD NO LONGER ACCERALATE, MY CHECK ENGINE, ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. IT WAS VERY ODD AS THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I READ AND SEEN THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING. I'M SURPRISED THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED DUE TO THIS, I COULD NOT IMAGINE IF I WAS THE HIGHWAY BEHIND A BIG RIG AND MY SPEED QUICKLY DROPPED LIKE THAT OR IF SOMEONE WAS RIDING MY TAIL, THERE IS NO WAY THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SLOW DOWN QUICK ENOUGH TO PREVENT FROM HITTING ME. I SEEN THAT PEOPLE WITH JEEPS HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE, REGARDLESS OF THE YEAR OF THE PATRIOT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PART.

A CIRCUIT WIRE CORRODED AND SHORTED THE TIPM. THIS HAPPENED AT HOME. THE CAR WAS STORED IN THE GARAGE. THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN CONNECTED TO THE DEALER DIAGNOSTICS IT SHOWED NO ERROR CODES. WHEN THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE WIRE AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE SHOP THE STARTER RAN NON STOP WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I AM UNAWARE IF THE CAR STARTER ALSO CAME ON WITHOUT THE KEY WHEN I WAS NOT NEAR THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE REMOTE START. IT IS DRIVEN ON PAVED RIDES AND STORED IN A GARAGE. I AM THE SECOND OWNER. LESS THAN TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS SHORTED TIPM THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT THE SAME DEALER FOR A FACTORY RECALL TO CHANGE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND TO DO A COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPDATE.

IN DEC OF 2017 I STARTED DRIVING MY CAR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING I LOST POWER AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER NOTIFIED ME IT WAS THE ETC CONTROL. TODAY 02/05/20 I GOT IN MY CAR TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND 5 MINS INTO DRIVING AGAIN LIGHTS TURN ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ETC LIGHT (LIGHTENING BOLT), AND STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON AND AGAIN LOST POWER AND WENT FROM 25 MPH TO 5 MPH. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF MY CAR AND START IT AGAIN TO BE ABLE TO GET IT TO MY HOUSE BUT HAD TO DO THIS 3 TIMES TO GET IT TO MY HOUSE WHICH WAS 5 MINS AWAY. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME WITHIN 2YEAR THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME. THERE IS SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ON THIS VEHICLE. WE BUY A CAR FOR IT TO BE RELIABLE TO GO TO AND FROM WORK INSTEAD IM CONSTANTLY DRIVING NERVOUSLY WONDERING IF ILL BE ON A HIGH WAY GOING FROM 60 MPH TO 10 MPH AND IF SOMEONE WILL CRASH INTO ME. I CAN PROVIDE DEALER REPORTS IF NEEDED

HAD ISSUES WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BUT WAS REPAIRED PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE RECALL PAPERWORK. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THIS WAS THE COPY OF THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC. I PAID OUT OF POCKET TO GET REPAIRED.

THE SEATBELT CAM KEEPS LOCKING UP. IT ONLY LETS THE SEATBELT OUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. DURING THE FAILURE THE STEERING WHEEL COULD NOT BE TURNED IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER MAC HAIK JEEP/CHRYSLER (5255 I-35 GEORGETOWN) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

OUR 2015 JEEP PATRIOT 4WD IS SHUTTING OFF RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING IT!! IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT WILL JUST RANDOMLY SHIFT OFF WITHOUT WARNING! ALL THE LIGHTS WILL TURN ON THEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC!! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT IS PUTTING NOT ONLY OUR LIVES AT RISK FOR A CRASH BUT ALSO THOSE DRIVERS AROUND US AS WELL. ONCE THE CAR SHUTS ITSELF OFF IT WILL NOT TURN ON FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO LEAVING US STRANDING SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC EVEN!! WE HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD THAT IS IN THE CAR WITH US MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING AS WELL AND IS PUTTING HER LIFE AT RISK OF A SERIOUS CRASH AS WELL!! THE 2016 JEEP PATRIOT HAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM THAT OUR 2015 IS HAVING! IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS NOW. *TR

DRIVING STEADILY ON THE HIGHWAY, MY DRIVER'S SEAT HEADREST EXPLODED FORWARD, LAUNCHING MY HEAD FORWARD AND DOWNWARD AWAY FROM THE ROAD, DISORIENTING ME FOR A COUPLE SECONDS. A POWERFUL SPRING COMPLETELY BROKE PLASTIC THAT HELD A PIN BACK, A PIN WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE HEADREST BACK. I AM YOUNG AND A VERY ALERT DRIVER, BUT THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE.

2015 JEEP PATRIOT HAD A PROBLEM STARTING TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE EVENT. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER WHILE PARKED. AFTER WAITING FIVE MINUTES, I TURNED THE KEY AGAIN AND IT STARTED. THEN, TWO DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING. FOR THE NEXT 20 SECONDS IT OSCILLATED BETWEEN ACCELERATING AND COASTING WHILE I HELD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. AS I COASTED TOWARDS AN UPCOMING OFF-RAMP, I LOST POWER STEERING. ONCE I WAS OFF THE FREEWAY, I HAD TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALERSHIP. THEY RAN THEIR "DIAGNOSTIC TESTS" AND FOUND NOTHING. THEY TEST DROVE THE CAR FOR 10 MILES AND WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUES. THEY UPDATED THE PCM AND TCM AND RAN THEIR COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AGAIN. NOTHING WAS FOUND. I FEEL INCREDIBLY UNSAFE DRIVING MY JEEP PATRIOT NOW. I ESCALATED THE ISSUE TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE WHO WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME UNTIL THE PROBLEMS ARE RECREATED AND DOCUMENTED BY A DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. 2016 JEEP PATRIOTS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS VERY REASON. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS?

I DROVE. TH JEEP TO THE BACK OF MY PROPERTY ON MY WAY BACK TO THE HOUSE I GOT STUCK. I KNEW I COULDNT GET UNSTUCK WITHOUT HELP SO I WENT TO MY HOUSE. UPON MY RETURN THE NEXT MORN I RRALIZED TH JEEP CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED COMPLTELY UP. I GOT STUCK ABOUT 930/10 PM RETURNED BACK TO JEEP AT 6 AM

I GOT STUCK ON MY PROPERTY. UPON MY RETURN THE JEEP CAUGT FIRE AND. BURNED COMPLETLY DOWN

VEHICLE FAILS TO START MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THE BATTERY AND STARTER ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. COMMON FIXES THAT ARE RECOMMENDED ARE REPLACING THE WCM OR THE RELAY BOX. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL START AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES AND LEAVING THE KEY CRANKED FOR 20 SECONDS+, BUT THIS ISN'T ALWAYS RELIABLE. BROUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP AND THEY COULDNT RECREATE THE ISSUE, SO IT WAS NEVER RESOLVED FOR MY CASE.

WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT AT LEAST 50-60% OF THE TIME. IT STARTED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND I HAD A DODGE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAID THEY FELT IT SLIP BUT THE ROAD WAS WET SO THEY COULDN'T SAY IF IT WAS THE TRANNY OR THE TIRES SLIPPING ON THE WET PAVEMENT. IT HAS BEEN SLIPPING FOR THE LAST YEAR AT LEAST. AFTER TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THESE PATRIOTS THEY SAID THE SAME THING (TRANSMISSION SLIPPING). IT DOES IT DURING ACCELERATION.

I HAVE A FAULTY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ALMOST EVERY OTHER MAKE AND MODEL SIMILAR TO MINE HAS A RECALL AND MINE IS NOT LISTED. I AM WONDERING WERE MY TYPE OF JEEP LOOKED AT.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN MY JEEP PATRIOT STARTED SLOWING DOWN, LIMP AND A BIT OUT OF MY CONTROL. 3 LIGHTS TURNED ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY ENGINE STARTED SHAKING AND MY JEEP SOUNDED ODD SO I TURNED IT OFF. I WAITED A BIT AND TURNED IT BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME SAFELY AS I WAS LESS THAN A MILE AWAY. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SAME THING. APPARENTLY IT'S A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THAT JEEP HAS FAILED TO RECALL OR TAKE ACRION ON. I HAD TO PICK UP MY SON FROM SCHOOL AND THIS TIME THE JEEP WENT LIMP AFTER LESS THAN HALF OF A MILE OF DRIVING. I STRUGGLED TO TAKE MY CAR BACK HOME AND HAD TO KEEP TURNING ON AND OFF MY CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I WAS VERY LUCKY TO JUST BE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JULY. THESE SORT OF ISSUES SHOULDN'T ALREADY BE HAPPENING. I NOW WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC AND SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR.

CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THROTTLE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. VECHILE BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND IMMEDIATELY FLASHED THE LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING LIGHT DROPPING FROM 80MPH TO 10 MPH. THIS WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VECHILE VIOLENTLY SPUTTERING. VECHILE WILL START BUT WHEN DRIVE IS ENGAGED AT LOW RPM NOTHING HAPPENS. WITH ACCELERATION THE CAR WILL SPUTTER AND NOT GET PAST 15 MILES PER HOUR. DURING SPUTTERING NO POWER STEERING IS AVALIBLE AND BRAKING IS MADE DIFFICULT WITH SPUTTERING.

MY ABS AND ELECTRIC STABILITY CONTROL SENSORS LIGHTS HAVE BEEN OVER FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. MY BRAKES HAS BEEN GIVING ME SOME RESISTANCE AND SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL.

THE CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH STEERING ENGINE HEATING AND NOW THROTTLE.

SPUTTERING AND VIOLENT BUCKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. "LIGHTENING BOLT" STARTED BLINKING ON DASH BOARD. TURNED OUT I HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. MY CAR ONLY HAD 55,000 MILES AT THE TIME. VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND THIS STARTS.

CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. GOT INTO CAR THE NEXT DAY AND MY DRIVER SIDE HEAD REST HAS BEEN DEPLOYED AND UNABLE TO RESET DUE TO THE DAMAGED HINGE.

I HAVE ONLY 36,000 MILES ON MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. ON A TRIP FROM PENNSYLVANIA TO GEORGIA, HALFWAY THERE, THE ETC LIGHT AND THE ESC CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER EVERY 45 TO 50 MILES TO RESET IT. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC. THIS WILL COST OVER $500. THE MECHANIC SAID THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH ONLY 36,000 MILES. WHY, WITH MANY COMPLAINTS, WOULD THIS NOT BE A RECALL?
