AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
Sometimes when I turn my steering wheel the air bag light turns on. It does not always stay on and only comes on occasionally, usually when I make a turn. I got the diagnostics tan and the error code B1B02 Driver Airbag squib 1 circuit open. There was recently a couple of recalls (S61 occupant restraint controller and N01 reprogram occupant control restraint module) for my 2010 Jeep Patriot. I believe this issue with the error code I’m receiving is related to the recall issue, especially since the light does not stay on consistently. Dealership confirmed code B1B02 and would cost $972 for part and service.*JB Consumer stated complaint was filed on Sept. 4, 2021.

There has already been a TBA service bulletion on this vehicle. It has to do with the front and rear subframes. I just bought this vehicle a couple months ago . The old owner never replaced them so now it's so rusted out that the toe can't b adjusted and the tires are pointing inward horribly wearing the inside tread of tires wear out 90× faster. The subframes about to snap causing the whole rear end to hit the ground

Noticing a recall before, I'm concerned with my airbag light being on. Can it still be defected.

WHEN BRAKING, THE JEEP SEEMS TO LOOSE REAR CONTROL FEATURES. THE SAME OFTEN OCCURS WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING. IT HAS "SHIFTED" FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER AT TIMES WHEN GENERAL STRAIGHT ROAD DRIVING OCCURS. SPEEDS HAVE NEVER EXCEEDED 30 MPH. BRAKING LOSS OF REAR CONTROL OCCURS AT SPEEDS NEVER EXCEEDING 5 MILES AN HOUR

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
TRANSMISSION STARTED WITH A WHINING SOUND, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE SUV THEN BEGAN TO SPUTTER, THEN IT STOPPED ACCELERATING ON THE INTERSTATE. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE TO RESTART MY VEHICLE AND IT RAN FINE FOR A FEW MILES AND BEGAN TO DO THIS AGAIN. SOMETHING WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. GOING TO COST A FORTUNE TO FIX. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS GLITCH IN THEIR VEHICLES.

ANYTIME RAINFALL IS EXPERIENCED, A HUGE LEAK OCCURS COMING THROUGH THE FRONT DOME LIGHT. IT APPEARS THIS LEAK IS CAUSED BY A DEFECT WITHIN THE DRAINAGE TUBES ATTACHED TO THE SUNROOF OF THE VEHICLE. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS, 8OZ-12OZ OF WATER COME SPLASHING DOWN ONTO THE CENTER CONSOLE FROM THE FRONT DOME LIGHT. THIS CAUSES POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE CARS RADIO AND POWER SOCKETS BELOW, AS WELL AS A HUGE VISUAL INTERFERENCE WHILE DRIVING. EACH TIME I AM DRIVING DURING RAINFALL OR SHORTLY AFTER, I MUST HOLD A CATCHING DEVICE (A CUP, ETC) TO CATCH THE WATER MANUALLY WHILE IT IS FALLING FROM THE CEILING, WHICH IMPAIRS MY ABILITY TO DRIVE SAFELY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH JEEP PATRIOTS 2007-2017 AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE. THIS LOOKS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. JEEP (CHRYSLER) DOES NOT COVER REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS FOR THIS PROBLEM.

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS WORKING ON BROOKLYN. I GOT OUT OF WORK AT 8 AND THE ROADS WERE BAD AS I WAS GOING DOWN JEFFERSON RD MY CAR STARTED SLIDING SO I JUST LET THE CAR GO BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP IT IS INEVITABLE. SO MY CAR HIT THE DITCH BY THE CHURCH. I WAS PARANOID BUT I KNEW I WAS FINE SO I WAS ABLE TO TAKE MY CAR OUT OF THE DITCH AND I GOT DOWN AND CHECKED IT AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE BUT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING MY COOLANT. SO I GOT IN MY CAR AND DROVE CAREFULLY AND SLOW UNTIL I GOT HOME. I GOT MY RADIATOR FIX BECAUSE IS THE ONLY CAR THAT I HAVE TO MOVE AROUND. I TOOK MY CAR TO GET CHECKED OUT BECAUSE I WAS SCARED THAT SOMETHING ELSE MIGHT HAVE BROKE. I TOOK IT TO BUDGET TIRE WHERE THEY TOLD ME ABOUT ALL THIS STUFF THAT I NEED IT FIX WHICH I KNEW I DIDN'T NEED THEM FIX BECAUSE I GOT MY CAR FIXED BEFORE WINTER HIT SO I TOLD THEM THAT I WAS GOING TO GET A SECOND OPINION SO I TOOK IT TO TUFTS AUTO SERVICE. THEY CHECKED MY CAR WHILE I WAS THERE AND SHOWED ME THAT NONE OF THE THINGS THAT BUDGET TIRE SAID IT WAS WRONG WAS WRONG. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE EXCEPT THE SUBFRAME. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST AROUND 2500 TO GET IT FIXED WITH THEM BUT THAT TOLD ME THAT I COULD GET A RECALL BECAUSE OF SAFETY. MAIN REASON WHY I TOOK IT TO GET CHECKED OUT WAS BECAUSE OF SAFETY REASON. I DIDN'T WANT TO COST AN ACCIDENT SO I WANTED TO TAKE EVERY PRECAUTION THAT I NEED IT. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL THE JEEP DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY SHOULD BE A ABLE TO DO A RECALL SINCE IS A HAZARD DRIVING IT LIKE THAT. I TALKED TO THEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD NO RECALL FOR MY CAR. I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM MY FRIEND. I HAVE INSURANCE AND EVERYTHING IS UP TO DATE.

THE HEADREST MECHANISM POPPED OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THERE WAS NO ACCIDENTS. IT WAS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST THAT DID THIS. I HEARD A LOUD POP WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IT SCARED ME. I WILL BE CALLING CHRYSLER TOMORROW REGARDING THIS BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WON'T BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A PROBLEM FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS JUST CAN HAPPEN WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SINCE I BOUGHT MY KEEP IN JULY 2020 .. EVERYTIME I'VE FILLED MY GAS TANK ALL THE WAY .. AT FIRST MY JEEP WOULD DO A LITTLE JUMPING ON REGULAR STREE AS I DRIVE TOWARDS FREEWAY BUT AFTER A LITTLE BIT IT WOULD GO AWAY .. BUT AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 15 MIN ON FREEWAY MY JEEP BEGINS TO MAKE THIS WHINING SOUND AND THEN MY JEEP WOULD ACCELERATE ABOVE 5 ON ITS OWN (SCARY) THEN WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL THIS USUALLY WAS WHILE GOING UP A HILL ON FREEWAY .. WHINING CONT. AND ACCELERATING MAY HAPPEN ONCE MORE WHILE GOING UP THE HILL .. THEN MY TRANSMISSION TEMP LIGHT WILL COME ON . I USUALLY PULL OVER TO LET MY CAR REST BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT AFTER IT HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED AFTER I FILL MY TANK TO THE FULL .PLEASE FIX THIS I'M AFRAID IT WILL BLOW MY ENGINE WHILE ON FREEWAY ! THREE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER A FULL TANK HAS BEEN APPLIED . SO STEP BY STEP I FILL TANK TO FULL AS I DRIVE ON STREET TOWARDS FREEWAY IT WILL JUMP A LITTLE BUT WILL GO AWAY BY TIME I GET ON FREEWAY ONCE ON FREEWAY CAR SEEMS FINE FOR ABOUT 10 -15 MIN THEN I START TO HEAR A WHINING SOUND ALMOST AS IF IT'S STUCK IN A GEAR .. AS I'M DRIVING UP A HILL ON FREEWAY THE WHINING GETS WORSE AND MY RPMS DON'T SEEM TO GO ABOVE 50 THEN MY MY ENGINE WILL JUST ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN ALL THE WAY PASSED 5 .. THEN RETURN TO NORMAL QUICKLY AFTER .. WHINING NOISE CONT. AS I'M STILL DRIVING ABOUT 10 MIN LATER MY TRANSMISSION TEMP LIGHT WILL COME ON . THAT'S WHEN I GET OFF FREEWAY AND PULL OVER TO LET MY CAR REST FOR A LITTLE BIT .. ONCE I GET BACK ON FREEWAY AFTER 10 MIN REST EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL NO MOR WHINING AND TEMP LIGHT IS GONE .. THIS IS AN ISSUE AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK TO THE FULL!

FRONT CROSSMEMBER IS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT. CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS TO 10 YEARS TO INCLUDE INSPECTIONS RATHER THAN RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. SINCE I BOUGHT THIS JEEP USED I WAS NOT INFORMED THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM OR THAT I WAS ENTITLED TO INSPECTIONS TO LOOK FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS A CONTROL ARM ISSUE BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT ON THE HOIST, LOOKING AT IT FROM BELOW, THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER HAS NEARLY COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. NO OTHER PARTS OF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS EXTENT CORROSION DAMAGE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION OR CHOICE OF SURFACE COATING FOR THIS PART. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH CONSUMERS MAY BE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF, UNLESS THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY HAD A CUSTOMER MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM JUST TO HAVE THE CROSSMEMBER GIVE WAY, DROPPING THE THE ENGINE ONTO THE GROUND IN THE PARKING LOT. UNBELIEVABLE! I WISH I HAD PHOTOS FROM WHEN I ORIGINALLY HAD IT ON THE HOIST, BUT I DIDN'T GET THEM. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW. CHRYSLER INITIALLY SAID THEY WOULD TRY TO OFFER SOME "GOOD WILL" BUT HAVE SINCE REJECTED THIS DUE TO THE $2350.00 ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR. NO WONDER THEY WEREN'T RECALLED. SHAME ON YOU CHRYSLER!

WITHIN 7 YEARS IN A RUST BELT STATE THE JEEPS CROSSMEMBER IS SO RUSTED ITS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. MY JEEP HAS BEEN SITTING PARKED FOR TWO YEARS BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPARE THIS HORRIBLE RUST DAMAGE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE HAS BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS SINCE 2017, I WAS NOT INFORMED BECAUSE ITS NOT A RECALL.. THIS WAS KNOWN BY CHESTER/JEEP SINCE THE 2007 MODEL, I'M GLAD THEY AT LEAST OFFER A 10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CROSSMEMEBER, HOWEVER THATS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. PEOPLE NEED TO BE MADE AWARE THAT THEIR VEHICLE MAY SNAP IN HALF WITH LITTLE OR NO WARNING TO THE AVERAGE DRIVER. THIS IS JUST AS SERIOUS AS A SEAT BELT OR AIRBAG MALFUNCTION AND YET THIS ISN'T A RECALL? THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW THEIR VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE, A RECALL IS THE ONLY WAY THAT INFORMATION WILL SPREAD FAST AND FAR ENOUGH TO MATTER AND POSSIBLY SAVE LIVES, NOT JUST A FEW DOLLARS.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUOUSLY STALL AND BUCK WHILE IDLING FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. THIS HAS OCCASIONALLY HAPPENED ON THE ROAD WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION. IN THESE CASES, THE DRIVER IS PUT IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, AS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS-UP WHEN THE CAR STALLS. THE CAR IS NEVER "TOPPED-OFF" BUT FILLED UNTIL THE FIRST PUMP CLICK. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE, THE PROBLEM WILL RESOLVE AND THE VEHICLE WILL RUN FINE UNTIL THE NEXT FUELING. THE EXACT CAUSE IS UNKNOWN, BUT THE EVAP SYSTEM OR FUEL TANK ROLLOVER-VALVE IS SUSPECTED AS THE CULPRIT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS EXPERIENCE AND NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH. *TR
