2015 Jeep Patriot complaints

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF, NO WARNING OR LIGHTS. BROUGHT INTO DEALER THEY REPLACED THE PCM MODULE. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT DID THE SAME THING, BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER NO LIGHTS ON DASH OR CODES SHOWING UP. IT HAPPENED ANYTIME OF DAT NO MATTER WHERE I'M AT. IT ALMOST LOSES POWER GOING UP HILLS BUT DOESN'T STALL COMPLETELY UNTIL ABOUT A MILE DOWN ROAD. THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN IT SHUTS OFF I LOOSE POWER STEERING. I HAVE CHILDREN I TRANSPORT EVERYDAY. I WISH THEY CAN FIND THE ISSUE I SEE IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT STARTED TO COME TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING. THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT OUT. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED THEN IT WENT FOR 2 MILES AND STOPPED YET AGAIN IN MOVING TRAFFIC. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHY IT'S DOING THIS. JEEP NEEDS T FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN TURNING AND BRAKING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. ZIEGLER CHRYSLER DODGE RAM, 3939 STADIUM DR, KALAMAZOO, MI 49008) WAS CONTACTED; HOWEVER, THE DEALER ONLY PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATION, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 26,000.

HEAT NOT WORKING IT JUST KEEP BLOWING COLD AIR IT IS AN SAFETY HAZARD CAUSE MY WINDSHIELD IS NOT DEFROSTING AND IT'S GETTING COLDER OUT HELL ITS FALL AND I NEED TO GET THIS PROBLEM SOLVED ASAP

ON OCTOBER 3, 2017, WHILE DRIVING STOP AND GO ON INTERSTATE 5, THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. THE WATER TEMPERATURE WAS NORMAL, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS NOT AN ENGINE PROBLEM. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC, AS STOPPING WITHOUT WARNING ON AN INTERSTATE CAN BE A PROBLEM. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE ENGINE.

WHEN IN MOTION - VEHICLE LOOSES ALL POWER ON CITY STREET -- WE BRAKE AND STOP --- THEN ARE ABLE TO START IT AGAIN -- THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES -- VERY CONCERNED

I OWN A 2015 JEEP AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET TURNING ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND CONTINUE TO SLOW. MY VEHICLE THEM CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I WAS THEN FORCED TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SAFETY SINCE THERE WERE OTHER VEHICLE DRIVING BEHIND ME. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP I WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE FUEL PUMP DID NOT GIVE ANY ADVANCED WARNING, NO INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON THE VEHICLE TO INFORM ME. I WAS PUT IN AN UNSAFE POSITION WHEN MY VEHICLE BROKE DOWN. I HAVE LESS THAN 40K MILES ON MY JEEP THERE IS NO WAY A FUEL PUMP WOULD GO OUT ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE WITH LOW MILES. IT COST ME $556.02 TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. HOWEVER ONCE THE PUMP WAS REPLACED THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT READ CORRECTLY. THE ACTUAL GAUGE WAS FUNCTIONING BUT THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NOT SEND CORRECT READINGS AND MY GAUGE WOULD NOT MARK MORE THAN 3/4 TANK EVEN WHEN THE TANK WAS FUEL. IN THE END I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP THREE TIMES BEFORE THE GAUGE WOULD MARK FROM EMPTY TO FULL CORRECTLY. ALL THESE EVENTS CAUSE ME TO BELIEVE THE FUEL PUMP IS FAULTY AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND CORRECTED.

PERFORM POORLY SLUGGISH ,,TAKES OFF SLOW AFTER STOPPING ,SLOW CHANGING GEARS ,HAVE ONLY 28000 MILES AND FRONT END WHEELS SEEM TO HAVE PROBLEM ,WHEN BACKING UP TURNING WHEELS THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING RUBBING OR SRUBBING.I PURCHASE THIS JEEP IN 2015 BRAND NEW ,AND HAVE NOTICE FEW PROBLEMS WITH IT .

ON 5 OCCASIONS WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AROUND 70MPH, THE CAR STARTS TO DECELERATE ON ITS OWN WITH NO INDICATORS ON THE VEHICLE SHOWING ANY ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 55MPH - YOU HAVE TO UNDERTAKE AN EMERGENCY MOVE INTO AN INSIDE LANE IN ORDER TO BE IN A SAFE LOCATION AND EVEN WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IT WILL NOT GO OVER 55MPH. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE CAR WILL THEN START TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, IT HAS ALMOST CREATED A S SITUATION WHERE THE CAR HAS BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND MY VEHICLES BEHIND DUE TO THE SUDDEN DECELERATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKE INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE OR REPRODUCE IT.

WHILE IN MOTION ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY THE CAR HAS UNEXPECTEDLY LOST POWER. THIS HAS NOT BEEN A ONE TIME ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING, WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, DRIVING UP A HILL, AND ALL OTHER INSTANCES WHERE YOUR CAR IS IN MOTION. I AM TERRIFIED TO BE IN THE CAR, BUT THIS OUR ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THE DEALERSHIP THAT SERVICES US HAS TOLD US THAT MANY OTHER 2015 JEEP PATRIOTS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HE SAID THAT IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY OR POSSIBLY SOMETHING ELSE- THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED ELUSIVE RESULTS. THE MAN WHO LOOKED AT THE JEEP SAID THAT HE CONTACTED CHRYSLER HOPING THAT THEY WOULD "GOODWILL" THE NEEDED REPAIRS, AS WE JUST PASSED THE WARRANTY BY 1000 MILES. CHRYSLER REFUSED DESPITE THIS MAN'S PERSISTENCY TO ASSIST US. BUT OUR JEEP NIGHTMARE DOES NOT END THERE. BEFORE 15,000 MILES, A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE PUT IN. NOW AT 37,000 MILES THE CAR IS PRESENTING TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THROTTLE BODY ISSUES. WE WERE ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IT HAS PROVEN ITSELF TO BE UNSAFE, AND AS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THIS IS OUR ONLY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION. SO NOW WE ARE STARING AT OUR PARKED CAR THAT SOMETIMES DOES NOT EVEN START, WHILE MAKING PAYMENTS ON SAID VEHICLE, WHICH HAS BEEN DEEMED TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE, PAYING ADDITIONAL MONEY TO BE DRIVEN AROUND TO WORK AND SCHOOL, AND DEALING WITH SUBSTANDARD CUSTOMER SERVICE. WHAT A JOY!

WHEN IT IS HOT OUT 85-100F, MY TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING LIGHT GOES ON WHILE DRIVING AT EXPRESSWAY/INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ENGINE TEMPERATURES ARE WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. IT OCCURS WITHOUT THE A/C ON. WHEN THIS SITUATION HAPPENS, MY VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER ACCELERATE AND WILL BECOME SLOWER AND SLOWER UNTIL I'M GOING >20MPH. THIS IS HAZARDOUS ON HIGH SPEED LIMIT CONGESTED ROADWAYS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT FREEDOM DRIVE 2 CVT AT LEAST 5 TIMES DURING HOT SPRING DAYS OR THE SUMMER. I HAVE HAD TO PARK ON A SHOULDER OF AN EXPRESSWAY FOR 20-30 MINUTES FOR IT TO COOL DOWN SO I COULD SAFELY REENTER THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HEARD OF TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE AND I DO NOT KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS MODEL. ALL VEHICLES SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF GETTING TO HIGHWAY SPEED ON AN ON RAMP AND MERGE IN. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS A COOLING ISSUE, A THERMOSTAT MALFUNCTION, OR SOMETHING ELSE. I OWN THE LATITUDE, TRAIL RATED MODEL, 2015. I BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY 2 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND I DO REGULAR FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES. WHEN I KNOW THE ISSUE IS STARTING I HEAR A DISTINCTIVE WINDING SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING. ALMOST LIKE THE SOUND A DRILL OR REMOTE CONTROL CAR MAKES (LIKE IT'S STUCK IN 1 GEAR, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS A CVT I USUALLY FEEL A "SHIFT" WHEN ACCELERATING OR PASSING. WHEN THIS OCCURS, IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS RESTRICTING THE "GEARS" AND CAUSING THE WINDING/WHINING SOUND, LIKE IF YOU PUT A MANUAL TRANSMISSION INTO 1ST OR SECOND AND KEPT ACCELERATING UP TO HIGHWAY S

REAR TAILGATE GLASS EXPLODED, SITTING IN GARAGE OVER NIGHT

THE ENGINE ON MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT DIES WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY. IT TYPICALLY WILL HAPPEN ONCE THE CAR IS WARMED UP. IT WILL HAPPEN MOST OFTEN WHEN I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY TO GET TO TRAFFIC SPEEDS. IN THIS CASE, THE ENGINE WILL QUIT AND THE CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY SLOW. IF THERE IS A CAR BEHIND ME, THERE IS NO INDICATION TO THAT CAR THAT I AM IMMEDIATELY SLOWING. VERY DANGEROUS! THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHILE I'M TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THE ENGINE JUST QUITS AND THEN RESTARTS ON ITS OWN. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN I SLOW TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. THE ENGINE WILL SIMPLY DIE AND MUST BE RE-STARTED.

MY CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD AND MY BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES IN ADDITION TO NEW GETTING NEW ROTORS. PROBLEMS STARTED OCCURRING WHEN I ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND WHENEVER I BRAKE, IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL GRINDING ON METAL. NEITHER MY DEALERSHIP NOR JEEP THEMSELVES HAVE A REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR. IN ADDITION, MY CAR HAS ALSO HAD PROBLEMS STARTING. WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS, I HAVE HAD TWO INSTANCES OF TRYING TO TURN MY CAR ON AND THE BATTERY CAME ON, BUT THE CAR DID NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO TURN-OVER. IT TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO ACTUALLY GET IT STARTED. BEFORE NOW, MY CAR HAS HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE IT TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO TURN OVER, WHICH IT EVENTUALLY DID COME ON, BUT IT WAS STRUGGLING AND I COULD TELL IT WAS VERY WEAK.

SECOND TIME VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. FIRST TIME 5/8/17. DEALER REPROGRAMMED PCM,TCM,CCN,AND WCM. 77 MILES LATER SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. BOTH TIMES THREE YEAR OLD IN VEHICLE. NO PRIOR WARNING. NO WARNING LIGHTS,NOISE ECT. VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. BACK TO DEALER TOMORROW. LUCKY GOING AT SLOW SPEED ON SECONDARY ROADS AT BOTH TIMES.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH THE JEEP STALLED. I ALMOST GOT REARENDED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT DID START AGAIN. AGAIN IT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET AT 35 MPH. THE JEEP STALLED. IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE REVERSING, AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFUSED TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,367.

MY BRAKES MAKE A LOUD SOUND WHEN I'M MAKING A STOP. I HAVE A FULL WARRANTY ON MY BRAKES AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE. WHAT I WAS ADVISED IS THAT SOUND IS NORMAL AND THAT ALL JEEP PATRIOTS MAKES THAT SOUND. WELL I HAVE NOT HEARD THAT SOUND FROM ANOTHER JEEP BUT NOT SURE IF THERE IS A DEFECT.

I PULLED TO THE SIDE TO ALLOW AN AMBULANCE TO PASS AFTER IT DID I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE SO I COULD GET BACK UP TO 50 MPH SPEED LIMIT, I HAD TO BREAK AFTER BEING CUT OFF. WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE IT BEGAN TO DECCELERATE THEN THE ENGINED STALLED I PUT MY HAZARDS PULLED TO THE SIDE. AFTER RESTARTING IT I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY CAR IN AUTO STICK. WHEN LEAVING A RESTURANT THAT NIGHT I HADN'T EVEN MADE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO STALL AND THE BREAKS LOCKED UP. I HAD TO RESTART MY VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME IN AUTO STICK. I DIDN'T DRIVE MY VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP 4/10/17 WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUES. 4/12/17 IT STALLED WHEN I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES IT BEGAN TO FUNCTION AFTER I RESTARTED IT. 4/10/17 I HAD THE AIR FILTER CHANGED AND THE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED. AFTER THAT I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL 4/17/17 WHEN AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD FOR 5 MINUTES I BEGAN TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY ONLY TO HAVE MY CAR DO THE SAME DECELERATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THEN STALLING ALTOGETHER. WHEN TRYING TO START MY CAR IT WOULD ONLY SPUTTER I WAITED 15 MINUTES THEN WAS ABLE TO START IT BUT ONLY THE CARS SYSTEMS WOULD COME ON NOT THE ENGINE. I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE WAITED ANOTHER 15 MINS AND IT STARTED I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO MY NEAREST CARMAX LOCATION THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR ONE DAY AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUES EITHER.

WATER LEAKING IN THROUGH INTERIOR LIGHTS. MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A SUNROOF AND WATER IS DRIPPING FROM THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEAR THE TAILGATE. AFTER A RAIN SHOWERS IN VANCOUVER, WA I ENTERED THE BACK HATCH OF MY CAR TO STORE MY WORK GEAR BEFORE I LEFT WORK AND THERE ON THE TIRE COVER IS A PUDDLE OF WATER. I LOOKED UP AND THE ASSEMBLY AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING HEADLINER ARE SOAKED. WHILE TURNING WATER COMES OUT IN A NICE SOLID STREAM AND LANDS ON MY CLOTHES AND OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS. A LITTLE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH FCA VEHICLES SINCE 2007. THIS WATER LEAK CAUSES INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL SHORTS.

SINCE THE CVT TUBE DOES NOT HAVE ANY END USER SERVICEABLE PARTS IT WAS NEVER TOUCHED . SEEMS TO BE BREAKING FROM POOR DESIGN/VIBRATION. DEALER WILL NOT COVER NDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE ENGINE/CVT COMBOS HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/SEARCH?Q=JEEP+PATRIOT+TRANSMISSION+DIPSTIC+BROKEN&RLZ=1C1CHBF_ENUS723US723&OQ=JEEP+PATRIOT+TRANSMISSION+DIPSTIC+BROKEN&AQS=CHROME..69I57.20303J0J8&SOURCEID=CHROME&IE=UTF-8

A CAR REAR ENDED US ON THE FREEWAY. WE WERE GOING 70MPH AND THEY AVERAGED 20MPH FASTER. WHEN THE STRUCK MY REAR END IT PROPELLED US, ACROSS 2 LANES, INTO THE SIDE OF A TRACTOR TRAILOR. WE BOUNCED OFF THE TRAILERS WHEELS AND ENDED UP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE STABILITY AND STURDINESS OF THE CAR WE WOULD SURELY BE DEAD. I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT UNTIL LATER.........NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED!! THE REAR IMPACT HEAD REST ENGAGED. I JUST FIGURED HITTING THE ENTIRE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR (WITH BOTH OF THE TRAILER TIRES INDENTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE) AT MINIMUM SPEED OF 70MPH, THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. NOT REALLY COMPLAINING. BUT MAYBE SOMETHING TO LOOK INTO. THE JEEP WAS REPAIRED AND IM STILL IN LOVE WITH IT. I'M NOT UPLOADING PHOTOS. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, I HAVE PHOTOS AND ALL DOCUMENTATION, JUST EMAIL ME.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TROUBLE STARTING THE JEEP. IT APPEARS TO HAVE POWER BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR WON'T START. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ACCURATELY DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE NOW GETTING WORSE. THE JEEP HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER WHILE RUNNING AND I'VE HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH UNLOCKING THE DOOR. THE THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING HAS STARTING COMING IN DURING SOME OF THESE EPISODES. DESPITE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AND DIRECTLY THROUGH CHRYSLER, I STILL HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE MADE THE ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING WELL KNOWN. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE COMPLETELY RESOLVED. I'M SHOCKED THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER WOULD ALLOW SUCH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD.

THE ENGINE SHUT OFF TWICE WITHOUT WARNING WHILE WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY. THE SECOND TIME THE ENGINE STALLED WAS 4 DAYS AFTER WE PICKED THE CAR UP FROM HUNTER JEEP SERVICE DEPT, WHO TOLD US THE ISSUE WAS REPAIRED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE NOW.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE CAR HESITATED, LOST SPEED, AND THEN CUT OFF (LOST COMPRESSION) WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT NEVER CAME ON (BEFOREHAND) TO ALERT THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINE PROBLEM. THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE LOSES AIR (CONSTANTLY) AND I'VE HAD TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE (SINCE PURCHASE DATE 3/13/15) EVERY OTHER WEEK AND THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS INSISTING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

THERE IS A LEAK IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP 6 DIFFERENT TIMES TO BE FIXED. IT IS SITTING IN BODY SHOP TRYING TO GET FIXED AGAIN. I AM VERY UPSET AT THE WAY THIS IS BEING HANDLED. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT MY ISSUES ON THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. ON RAINY DAYS, WATER ENTERED FROM THE GASKET INTO THE REAR CENTER OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE DAMAGED THE ROOF LINER AND INTERIOR LIGHTING.

THE GASKET WAS REPAIRED WITH A SEALANT, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AGAIN THAT THE GASKET WAS LEAKING AND IT WAS RESEALED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

HAD TO GET TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 15000 MILES DUE TO A NOISE AND CHRYSLER NOT KNOWING WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. WAS RUNNING OUT OF TRANNY FLUID 3 TIMES IN ONE MONTH. WITH NO LEAK FOUND. NOW I AM HEARING THAT NOISE AGAIN. STEERING IS VERY SENSITIVE AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE, ESPECIALLY GOING AROUND A LEFT HAND CORNER ON THE HIGHWAY. MOTOR MOUNT WAS LOOSE AT 16000 MILES , WAS FIXED, BUT WHY WAS IT LOOSE? STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BADLY WHEN GOING OVER 65 MPH ON FREEWAY. E BRAKE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IF IT IS PULLED AND I AM ON A HILL AND IT IS IN NEUTRAL OR THE CLUTCH IS PRESSED IN IT WILL ROLL... (DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT WORKS AND ALSO, THEY CANNOT ADJUST IT ANYMORE) WHY?.. MY WINDSHIELD WPIERS ARE STALLING, MORE AND MORE OFTEN THEY WONT TURN ON UNTIL I TURN THEM ON AS FAST AS THEY WILL GO AND THEN TURN THEM DOWN AFTER THAT. I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND TRYING TO GET CHRYSLER TO BUY BACK BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT RELIABLE OR SAFE, BUT MY CASE MAANGER AND HER SUPERVISOR ARE RIDICULOUSLY HARD TO GET A HOLD OF AND DONT REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS.. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HAS TREATED ME TERRIBLY AND HASN'T GIVEN ME GOOD SERVICE IN THE SLIGHTEST. ONE OF THE SALESMAN CUSSED AT ME. AND THEY WON'T FIX MY ISSUES WITH THE CAR, AND THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME "TO JUST TOTAL IT" TO GET RID OF IT, INSTEAD OF HELPING ME AND MAKING IT RIGHT. I AM VERY STRESSED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 MONTHS NOW... AND I NEED A RELIABLE CAR.

I WALKED DOWN THE ROAD TO SAFETY, AS MY HUSBAND GOT OUT WHAT HE COULD OF OUR BELONGINGS OUT AND INTO THE SNOW BANK. AND IN THAT FEW MINUTES THE FLAMES WERE INSIDE THE CAB AND WINDOWS WERE EXPLODING, NEXT THE TIRES AND THE PAINT ETC.....THE SPARE TIRE ALSO BLEW FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR. MY HUSBAND LEFT BEFORE THE GAS TANK BLEW IF IT DID WE DON'T KNOW. WE HAD TO WALK 15 MILES SOAKING WET . WE ARE BOTH DISABLED WITH NECK AND BACK INJURIES. THIS JEEP IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION. WHAT WORRIES US IS THAT HAD SOMEONE BEEN CONFINED BY WHEEL CHAIR OR CHILDREN IN A CAR SEAT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY ACCIDENT.
