SEAT BELTS
I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPT TO GET THIS FIXED AND THEY KEPT TELLING ME THAT WHEN THEY GET THE PART THEY WILL FIX IT. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES. RECALL STATUS RECALL INCOMPLETE REMEDY THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MUST BE REPLACED. SAFETY RISK DESCRPITION THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN SUCH CRASH EVENTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, SUSPENSION
JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY MY WIFE'S 2007 PATRIOT 2.4L STARTED TO FAIL TO START. IT WAS VERIFIED THAT IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY, PCV VALVE, STARTER, OR A FUEL ISSUE. IT WOULD SIMPLY NOT START WHEN LEFT IN THE SUN (IN SUCH AS A PARKING LOT). ALL OF THE ACCESSORIES WORKED. IT WAS TOWED TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. NO ONE COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND RECEIVED A COMPLAINT NUMBER. CHRYSLER REIMBURSED ME FOR THE THINGS THE DEALERSHIPS CHARGED ME TO REPLACE AND EVENTUALLY SAID THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT AND COULDN'T FIX THE CAR. THE SHOCKS ALSO FAILED PREMATURELY AT 40 THOUSAND MILES, AND THE CV JOINTS ARE SEALED UNITS AND FAILED PREMATURELY. OVERALL I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS CAR AND CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT THE JEEP PATRIOT 2014 FROM A DEALER ON 7/17/2017. I WAS NEVER TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE FOR A POTENTIALLY FATAL FLAW IN THE AIRBAGS. I HAD NO IDEA THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL UNTIL I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL LAST WEEK. I HAVE CONTACTED MY MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS AND THEY HAVE ORDERED THE PARTS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THEY KNOWINGLY SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE A CRIMINAL ACT AND IT WOULD BE IF I AM INJURED OR KILLED DRIVING IT UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE MADE.

SERVICE BRAKES
SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2016 THE BRAKES KEEP MAKING THIS LOUD SOUND AND I HAVE TAKE TO THE DEALER TWICE WHO TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. SO THEN I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER SHOP WHO THEN TOLD ME IT WAS MY FRONT AND BACK BRACKES AND ROTORS BUT CAR IS NOT THAT OLD. SO I WENT AHEAD AND JUST PAID TO REPLACE IT TO BE SAFE AND TWO DAYS AFTER THIS WORK WAS DONE IT GAVE ME THE SAME SOUND AND NOW THEY ARE TELL ME THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND. I HAVE HEARD OTHER JEEPS JUST LIKE MINE MAKE THAT SAME NOISE SO I WONDER IF THIS IS A ISSUE WITH ALL THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOTS. IT HAPPENS WHEN I'S TRYING TO STOP THE CAR THEN IT GIVES ME THAT SOUND AND SOMETIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING I STILL CAN HERE THE SQUEALING SOUND. I KNOW THIS IS NOT NORMAL AT ALL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE BUCKING AND EVEN STALLING AFTER A FULL TANK FILL UP. IT USUALLY BUCKLES WHEN I AM MOVING AND STALLS IF I AM STATIONARY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS THREADS FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD MANY TIMES. LUCKILY I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME IF IT CONTINUES. IT SHOULD NOT MATTER IF THIS ONLY HAPPENS TO A HUNDRED PEOPLE OR THOUSANDS. LIVES ARE LIVES AND THEY SHOULD BE PROTECTED! PLEASE HELP US ALL ENCOUNTERING THIS PROBLEM. THE COST IS VERY HIGH TO REPLACE A WHOLE TANK AND MANY OF US CAN NOT AFFORD IT. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP US STAY SAFE!

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF, NO WARNING OR LIGHTS. BROUGHT INTO DEALER THEY REPLACED THE PCM MODULE. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT DID THE SAME THING, BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER NO LIGHTS ON DASH OR CODES SHOWING UP. IT HAPPENED ANYTIME OF DAT NO MATTER WHERE I'M AT. IT ALMOST LOSES POWER GOING UP HILLS BUT DOESN'T STALL COMPLETELY UNTIL ABOUT A MILE DOWN ROAD. THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN IT SHUTS OFF I LOOSE POWER STEERING. I HAVE CHILDREN I TRANSPORT EVERYDAY. I WISH THEY CAN FIND THE ISSUE I SEE IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE.

I'VE HAD CONSTANT ISSUE WITH MY BREAKS SQUEALING. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE ABOUT 9 MONTHS THE ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON ANY TIME I DROVE ACROSS A SPEED BUMP IN A PARKING LOT, ANY AREA ON A ROADWAY THAT WAS UNEVEN.

AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN TURNING LEFT EITHER FROM A STOP OR GOING AROUND A CURVE THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE OR HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CARRIAGE IN THE FRONT.
