ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE RANDOMLY DRIVING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THROTTLE LIGHT COMES ON. I'VE HAD MY CAR TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CODES ARE P2135 AND P0121. DEALER SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY DIDN'T CLEAR THE CODE. WENT HOME AND SLEPT, NEXT MORNING THE LIGHTS ARE OFF. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY DECEMBER 2018, MY GAS PEDAL 2 MONTHS AGO AND PART OF MY COMPUTER OVER A MONTH AGO AND THIS IS STILL HAPPENING. I'VE READ IN A BUNCH OF FORUMS THIS IS COMMON BUT NO ONE HAS A SOLUTION. DEALER SAID MY WIRING HARNESS WAS FINE AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM BUT DON'T WANT TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR EVEN THOUGH IT'S UNDER WARRANTY. HELP

SEATS
VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. WHEN I RETURNED TO CAR, THE PASSENGERS HEADREST HAD COME APART. DID SOME DIGGING ON INTERNET AND NOTICED I AM NOT ALONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PATRIOT OWNERS. OF COURSE MOST WERE AFTER THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. EXTENDED WARRANTY WORTHLESS ALSO BECAUSE IT DOES NOT COVER SRS. EST RIGHT NOW IS AROUND $860.00. GLAD MY 17 YR OLD DAUGHTER WAS NOT SITTING IN THAT SET AS SHE HAD BEEN A COUPLE OF HOURS EARLIER. OTHERWISE, I GUESS THERE WOULD BE MEDICAL BILLS IN ADDITION TO CAR REPAIR BILLS.

SO I MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE BUT TODAY I HAVE AN ACTUAL ENGINE CODE THAT WAS PULLED UP AFTER BEING REAR-ENDED DUE TO THE STALLING. IT'S CODE P0335 AND IT'S THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHICH IS ALREADY RECALLED FOR THE EXACT MAKE AND MODEL IN THE 2016 VERSION AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY FOR 2015 BECAUSE IF THERE ARE ANY COMPLAINTS OF STALLS IT'S BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED TO ME AND MY KID AND ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM AND CAR IS AT RISK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AT ONLY 16,500 MILES 5 SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2015 WITH 6 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO NUMEROUS OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS AS WELL. THERE ARE AT LEAST 2 DOZEN OR SO ON 1 INTERNET FORUM THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR FAILURES. THE FAILURE OF MINE HAPPENED CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION LUCKILY NO ONE CRASHED INTO THE CAR AS THE SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND THE CAR SIMPLY REVVED AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO ANY GEAR. THE DEALERSHIP MILTON RUBEN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP AND FCA BOTH ARE CLAIMING CLUTCHES ARE NOT WARRANTY DUE TO BEING A CONSUMABLE WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. THE DEALER REPORTEDLY FOUND BROKEN PIECES OF CLUTCH ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICIANS NOTES. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND DISCERNING FAILURE AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. THERE IS ANOTHER REPORT OF ONE FAILURE AT ONLY 9600 MILES. THE DEALER ALSO CANNOT CONFIRM IF SAID PIECES FOUND ARE ACTUALLY CLUTCH OR TRANSMISSION PARTS. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH FCA REGARDING THE MATTER AND THEY ARE NOT MUCH ASSISTANCE. THIS MATTER OF GEARBOX, TRANSMISSION, CLUTCH FAILURES IN JEEP PATRIOTS WARRANT AN INVESTIGATION. I HOPE OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO YOU. DEALERS ARE CHARGING CONSUMERS $1400.00 TO $2000.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURED COMPONENT THAT IS PREMATURELY BREAKING PUTTING THEIR CONSUMERS AND OTHER MOTORIST LIVES AT RISK.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND MANY OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ON A 40 MPH ROAD THAT PEOPLE ARE KNOWN TO FLY DOWN AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL MY CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE BUT COMPLETELY LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DANGEROUS ROAD AS 3 LIGHTS SIMULTANEOUSLY APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD; THE LIGHTS WERE THE THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH AND ACTED QUICKLY BUT THIS IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE. WILL JEEP SIMPLY WAIT UNTIL THIS CAUSES THE DEATH OR SERIOUS ACCIDENT OF MOTORISTS? I BELIEVED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DIRTY SO I CLEANED IT OUT FOLLOWING STANDARD PROCEDURE, HOWEVER THE THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT STILL APPEARS AND MY VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE. I WILL BE TAKING IT INTO THE SHOP VERY SOON BUT THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE VEHICLE OWNER, THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND UNCALLED FOR WHEN THE VEHICLES SUFFERING HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
I'VE HAD MY JEEP FOR ONE YEAR WHEN ONE DAY A RED LIGHTENING BOLT AND AN ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD. NO ACCELERATION OR POWER. I HAD TO KEEP CUTTING MY CAR ON AND OFF IN ORDER TO MAKE IT HOME. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP THE NEXT DAY WHERE I HAD TO PAY LOTS OF MONEY TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT. 2 YEARS LATER EVEN AFTER REPLACING MY ENGINE (DUE TO AN ACCIDENT) THE SAME LIGHT HAS APPEARED AGAIN. JEEP WE NEED ANSWERS? SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM.
