AIR BAGS
I WAS INFORMED ABOUT THE LATEST RECALL FOR THE ORC (16V-668) LAST OCTOBER AND IT IS ALMOST THE END OF JUNE WITH NO WORD ON WHEN TO EXPECT REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE NOTICE MENTIONED PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE STARTING IN JUNE 2017. I FEEL THAT THIS SHORTING CONDITION THAT MAY CAUSE MY AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND A REMEDY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE BY NOW. IN THE MEANTIME, I'M DRIVING AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE AND RISKING MY LIFE DOING SO. THIS MATTER IS NOT BEING REMEDIED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I AM VERY UPSET WITH FCA ON HOW THIS IS BEING HANDLED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON REFILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL FROM NEAR EMPTY, THE CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY STUTTER AND OCCASIONALLY STALL FOR UP TO FIVE MINUTES. I DISCOVERED THIS UPON PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE TURNING OFF. THIS LED TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING AS WELL. OTHER CARS HAD TO IMMEDIATELY DIVERT OR COLLIDE INTO MY CAR. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR DID THIS THREE MORE TIMES WITHIN 2 MILES. NO EMERGENCY LIGHTS OR WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF. THIS IS ALLEGEDLY A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM AND THE ENGINE IS "CHOKING" DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES NOW.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SUNROOF ON THE 2010 JEEP PATRIOT DOES NOT SEAL AGAINST THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE ALLOWING MORE WATER INTO THE CABIN THEN THE TWO DRAINS CAN HANDLE. THE DRAINS CLOG EASILY DUE TO THE EXCESS WATER MAKING THE ISSUE EVEN WORSE. WATER ENTERS THE CAR AS THE SUNROOF WATER PAN FILLS UP AND LEAKS OUT OF THE CABIN DOME LIGHT AND DOWN THE SIDES OF THE CAR. WATER THEN ENTERS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BEHIND THE DASH RESULTING IN RADIO FAILURE, SHORTING MULTIPLE COMPONENTS THAT PREVENT THE CAR FROM TURNING OFF WITHOUT REMOVING THE IOD FUSE, AND CAUSING THE ENGINE WATER TEMPERATURE TO PEG. DEALERSHIPS HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE ISSUE REMAINS AND THEY HAVE BEGUN TO CLAIM IT IT A DRAIN MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. I WAS DRIVING ON A BACK COUNTRY ROAD AND SLIGHTLY TURNED THE WHEEL TO FOLLOW THE CURVE IN THE ROAD WHEN THE WHEEL LOCKED UP. FORTUNATELY, I WAS SHARING THE ROAD WITH JUST A FEW OTHER DRIVERS, IT WAS A SLIGHT BEND IN THE ROAD, AND I WAS ABLE TO USE THE BREAKS. AFTER I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, I HAD TO UTILIZE GREAT FORCE TO TURN THE LOCKED STEERING WHEEL. IT SEEMED LIKE THAT MAYBE LOOSENED IT UP SOME BUT NOT QUITE ALL THE WAY??? THEN, I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED IT, AND THEN IT SEEMED TO BE OK. AFTER BEING INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ISSUE FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPEN. THEY SAID THAT FURTHER DISASSEMBLING COULD POSSIBLY LOCATE A PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING AND HAZARDOUS! I'M NOT SURE IF OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AS WELL BUT IT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE LOOKED INTO!

WHEELS
VALVE STEMS ( THAT ARE METAL AND HAVE A SENSOR) ARE CORRODING ARE LITERALLY SNAPPING OFF. I'VE CONTACTED JEEP DIRECTLY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE STATES THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. I'VE REPLACED 3 VALVE STEMS IN ONE WEEK. MY LATEST ONE HAPPENED TODAY ON AN INTERSTATE THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A HORRIBLE CRASH. I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF RECEIPTS THAT I CAN'T UPLOAD AT THE MOMENT THAT STATE "BAD" VALVE STEMS.

POWER TRAIN
FIRST TIME 09/2013 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH FROM COLORADO TOWARDS ARIZONA WHEN FROM ONE SECOND TO THE OTHER VEHICLE FORCE DROP SPEED TO 30 MPH AND A TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON ON DASH, PUTTING MY FAMILY AT DANGER SINCE I HAD TO SWERVE AS FAST AS I COULD TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE SEMI WAS GOING AS FAST AS ME. WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THERE WAS NO POWER AND A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER HOOD. I TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND LIGHT CAME OFF AND POWER WAS RESTORED BUT AS SOON AS THE TACHOMETER REACH 3000 RPM TEMP LIGHT BACK ON AND LOSS OF POWER CAME BACK. I TURN OFF VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN AND RETURNED TO COLORADO SPRINGS STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION INTERNAL FAILURE 3 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASE BRAND NEW AT 73,687 MILES ON ODOMETER. POWER TRAIN WARRANTY COVER THE CVT REPLACEMENT AND FOUND OUT THAT 100'S OF PATRIOTS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. FAST FORWARD 3 YEARS LATER 2/2017 WHINING NOISE CAME BACK LIGHT CAME BACK BUT NO WARRANTY AND UNFORTUNATELY DEALER ESTIMATES $6000.00 REPLACEMENT BILL. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH JETCO CVT'S ARE THE PROBLEM AND AFTER MANY COMPLAINS PATRIOTS NO LONGER WITH CVT'S BUT I'M STUCK WITH A NON WORKING WORTHLESS VEHICLE IN MY DRY WAY.

POWER TRAIN
SECOND COMPLAIN ABOUT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. VEHICLE NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION AGAIN AFTER 3 YEARS FROM BEING REPLACED. AS I WAS DRIVING ON I-70 FROM MY HOSPITAL JOB IN THE MORNING RUSH COMMUTE, MY PATRIOT DECIDED TO DROP SPEED FROM 70 MPH TO 30 MPH ON A BLINK OF AN EYE. THIS TIME SINCE I WAS ALONE JUST PUTTING ME IN DANGER UNLIKE THE LAST TIME IN 2013 WHEN IT HAPPEN THAT MY 11 YEAR OLD AND 1 YEAR OLD BABY WERE ON BOARD. I SWERVE TO THE SHOULDER YET AGAIN TO AVOID BEING HIT BY TRAFICC I PROCEED AS I RECALL TO TURN IGNITION OFF AND TRY TO MAINTAIN TACOMETER FROM REACHING 3000 RPM TO AVOID TRANSMISSION SAFE MODE TO KICK IN AGAIN AS I MAKE IT HOME.

WE HAVE 2 VEHICLES UNDER RECALL S61/NHTSA 16V-668 DATED 10/01/16 AND STILL NO REMEDY. THIS RECALL PUTS OUR LIVES IN JEEP'S HANDS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE OUR CARS. THE OTHER PATRIOT UNDER THIS RECALL WAS HIT BY A DEER WHILE DRIVING AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. LUCKILY, THAT TIME WE WERE NOT INJURED, BUT WHAT ABOUT NEXT TIME?

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON RANDOM OCCASION WHILE DRIVING, MY 2010 JEEP PATRIOT HESITATES AND LURCHES WHEN I ACCELERATE. IT HAS ALSO STALLED WHILE I WAIT AT A RED LIGHT. IT HAS ALSO STALLED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP WHILE I AND WHILE MY DAUGHTER HAS DRIVEN THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS DIAGNOSE AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING ON THE DIAGNOSTICS REPORT. THIS IS UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY SUCH COMPLAINTS COVERING MANY JEEP MODELS, YEARS AND MAKES AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL OR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE...ARE YOU WAITING FOR MORE PEOPLE TO BE KILLED IN THEIR CARS????? *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAN NOT PUT FUEL INTO THE GAS TANK. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF EVERY FEW SECONDS DUE TO BACK PRESSURE. A MECHANIC CHECKED THE SYSTEM AND SAID THE PROBLEM WAS A STUCK ROLL OVER VALVE INSIDE THE FUEL TANK AND THE ENTIRE GAS TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1400. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, GAS SPLASHES OUT ONTO CAR AND ANYONE TRYING TO FILL THE TANK. SPILLING GASOLINE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AN MYSELF IS A SAFETY HAZARD!
