AIR BAGS
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. * (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

ENGINE
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!!!

SEATS
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.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

ENGINE
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

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.
