ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WAS DRIVING ON I 95 SOUTH AND THE ENGINE JUST STARTER TO HESITATE AND QUIT FOR NO REASON. TOOK CAR TO CHRISLER DODGE DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND CHRISLER WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECORDS OF OIL CHANGES. NOVEMBER 6, 2013 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V552000 LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE MAY RESULT IN ENGINE STALL I ASKED ABOUT THIS ISSUE THAT WAS IDENTIFIED, BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE ISSUE HAD TO BE SPECIFFICALLY IDENTIFIED TO THE VIN NUMBER. BUT NOT TO WORRY, CHRISLER CAN SELL ME A NEW ENGINE FOR $6,900. THEY KEEP SAYING THE PARTS FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 MANUFACTURER CHRYSLER (FCA US LLC) COMPONENTS SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS STILL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I AM SURE FOR $2,000 OR SO, CHRISLER MAY BE ABLE TO GET THEM CASE BY CASE. FRUSTRATED!

RECEIVED NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016 THAT THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER WAS FAULTY AND WOULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF AIRBAG OR SEATBELT PRETENSIONER IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I HAVE CONTACTED FCA THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE AS WELL AS CALLED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER (JIM CLICK AUTO MALL) AND ARE TOLD ONLY THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. A YEAR AND NO PARTS IS NOT FIXING A PROBLEM THAT COULD LEAD TO DEATH IN A "TIMELY MANNER".

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE IT BANG TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND BUCKED AS I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE IT FORWARD. THE CAR HAS FEWER THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED PER THE DEALERS DIAGNOSTICS. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND, FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, IS A COMMON ISSUE. I HOPE THIS RESULTS IN A RECALL AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS HAD IT HAPPENED ONCE I WAS TRAVELING.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER 2016 BUT WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE "REPAIR PARTS NOT AVAILABLE." NOW, 8 MONTHS LATER, PARTS ARE STILL "UNAVAILABLE" AND I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE WHOSE AIRBAG AND/OR SEAT BELTS MAY NOT WORK IN AN ACCIDENT, CAUSING MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS SERIOUS INJURY. HOW CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE PERMITTED?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
YESTERDAY AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND DRIVING WAS VERY JERKY. TODAY ON THE FREEWAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WAS FLASHING AGAIN. LUCKILY, SAFE MODE DIDN'T KICK ON UNTIL AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY AS I WAS ONLY ABLE TO ACCELLERATE TO 20 MPH THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO BE SHIFTING HARD WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY . ALSO, WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A STOP, IT'S CHUGGING AND JERKING. IT IS THROWING ERROR CODES $07E8 AND $07E9.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY JEEP OVERHEATS REGULARLY, NO TOWING JUST REGULAR COLORADO HWY DRIVING, MAKES HIGH PITCHED WHINING SOUNDS, AND LOSES POWER. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO GO OFF, RESUME DRIVING, AND PULL OVER AGAIN WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON. OVER AND OVER THIS HAPPENS. DEALERSHIP SAYS NO ERROR CODE ON THE ENGINE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
UPON ENTERING A MAJOR HIGH WAY SYSTEM, THE ENGINE ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, REGARDLESS OF THE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL. IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING RESISTING THE ACCELERATION. THERE I AM IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 6 LANE BRIDGE WITH FREE WAY TRAFFIC GOING 60MPH AND I AM DECELERATING (EVEN WITH ADEQUATE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS) WHEN COMES ELECTRICAL THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE GUY DRIVING THE TOW TRUCK SAID I WAS HIS 4TH JEEP TODAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND AMONG MANY THIS MONTH.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS MADE IN 2014. HERE IT IS 2017 AND THERE STILL IS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL. WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG? RECALL S61/ NHTSA 16V-668. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS LONG TO CORRECT A SAFETY ISSUE.
