WHEELS
ON 2/11/17 I BOUGHT A 2013 CERTIFIED JEEP PATRIOT FROM A JEEP DEALERSHIP IN BRYON,OHIO. CERTIFIED MEANT THAT 125 POINTS ON THE JEEP WERE CHECKED FOR ROAD WORTHINESS TIRES WAS ON THE LIST THAT WAS INSPECTED. ON 2/18/17 WHILE PUTTING MUD FLAPS ON THE JEEP. I SAW THAT ALL 4 TIRES WHICH HAD 4,300 MILES ON THEM WERE CRACKING IN THE RUBBER IN BETWEEN THE TIRE THREAD. THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL FIRESTONE AFFINITY TIRES THAT CAME ON THE JEEP WHEN NEW. DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE JEEP FROM TOLD ME TO TAKE THE JEEP TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR OF BAD TIRES.( I BOUGHT THE JEEP 156 MILES FROM MY HOME) LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID TIRES ARE THE TIRE MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY. FIRESTONE CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE SAYS IT'S JEEP'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF TIRES SINCE JEEP CERTIFIED THAT THE TIRES CHECKED OUT FINE DURING THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS. FIRESTONE HAS STOPPED MAKING THIS TIRE. I ALSO SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THESE TIRES. PLEASE SEE PHOTOS. DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS OF DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON THESE TIRES AND SUMMER HEAT TO BE HERE IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I 'M GOING TO BUY NEW ANYTHING BUT FIRESTONE TIRES, AND THE SEEK RECOURSE ON MY COSTS FOR TIRES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, SEAT BELTS
I OWN A 2013 JEEP PATRIOT. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH IT AND I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2012. FROM IT TURNING COMPLETELY OFF ON ME WHILE SITTING AT LIGHTS. TO IT HAVING POWER SURGES, AND THE SEATBELTS STOP WORKING. I HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED MARCH OF 2016 AND IT ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT TO DATE. ACCORDING TO WHAT CHRYSLER SAID, IT MALFUNCTIONED ON ME AND IT LEFT ME STRANDED ON A FREEWAY LATE AT NIGHT. THERE IS A CONSTANT ISSUE WITH THE COOLANT SYSTEM. AND I AM NOW NEEDING ANOTHER ENGINE IT, BECAUSE OF THAT ISSUE. AND CHRYSLER WONT COVER IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER JEEP VEHICLE.

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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, IT STALLS AND SPUTTERS FOR 3-60 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS AFTER EVERY REFUEL. DURING MOST FILL UPS I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER THE FILL UP I GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND GET UP TO 60-70MPH, WHEN IT SPUTTERS AT THIS SPEED THE CAR JERKS AND I BRIEFLY LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE BECAUSE GAS WILL NOT PUMP DURING THE SPUTTERING. IF I FILL UP WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY THE JEEP SIMPLY JUST DIES IF THE RPM ARE UNDER 900 OR IF IT'S IDLING. EVERYTHING ON THE JEEP IS STOCK, NO AFTERMARKET PARTS. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO NUMEROUS OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS. I AM UNSURE OF THE PART CAUSING THE ISSUE.

SUSPENSION
THE ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT THE FRONT SWAY BAR BROKE OFF AND THE CONTROL ARM WAS ABOUT TO ON 1-28-2017. IT WAS AT DICK SCOTT DEALERSHIP OF PLYMOUTH MI. FOR A TIMING CHAIN COVER GASKET REPAIR ON 10-6-2016. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK WHY I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE SAFETY ISSUE AT THAT TIME. BUTCH SAID WE DO NOT INFORM CUSTOMERS OF RUST ISSUES. I WAS REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER FROM FCA AND INFORMED THIS WOULD BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE THAT A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WOULD NOT DEEM THIS VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE ABOUT 100 DAYS EARLIER. YOU WILL SEE FROM THE ATTACHED PHOTOS.
