AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE AN UNRELATED ISSUE LOOKED AT AND WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE POSSIBLE FAILURE OF MY SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY OTHER NOTIFICATION ABOUT THIS MATTER. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JUNE/JULY OF THIS YEAR. I WILL RISK THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, INCLUDING A TEEN DRIVER, IF I CONTINUE TO OPERATE THIS CAR BEFORE THE REPAIR CAN BE MADE.

THERE IS NO REMEDY TO THIS RECALL AND ITS REDICULOUS. WE ARE FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE. WE CANT EVEN TRADE IT IN BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WONT TAKE IT. ALSO OUR BODILY INJURY INSURANCE FOR THIS JEEP IS FIVE TIMES WHAT IT USED TO COST. WE FINANCED THIS JEEP, IT IS UNBELIEVEABLE THAT WE HAVE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT COULD POTENTIONALLY HURT US WORSE IF WE WERE IN A CRASH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO DONE IMMEDIATELY.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. I WAS DRIVING ON A BACK COUNTRY ROAD AND SLIGHTLY TURNED THE WHEEL TO FOLLOW THE CURVE IN THE ROAD WHEN THE WHEEL LOCKED UP. FORTUNATELY, I WAS SHARING THE ROAD WITH JUST A FEW OTHER DRIVERS, IT WAS A SLIGHT BEND IN THE ROAD, AND I WAS ABLE TO USE THE BREAKS. AFTER I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, I HAD TO UTILIZE GREAT FORCE TO TURN THE LOCKED STEERING WHEEL. IT SEEMED LIKE THAT MAYBE LOOSENED IT UP SOME BUT NOT QUITE ALL THE WAY??? THEN, I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED IT, AND THEN IT SEEMED TO BE OK. AFTER BEING INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ISSUE FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPEN. THEY SAID THAT FURTHER DISASSEMBLING COULD POSSIBLY LOCATE A PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING AND HAZARDOUS! I'M NOT SURE IF OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AS WELL BUT IT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE LOOKED INTO!

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
SHORTLY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK OF MY 2007 JEEP PATRIOT (49XXX MILES) I WAS COMING TO A 4 WAY INTERSECTION (ONLY MY SIDE AND THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION HAS STOP SIGNS). AS I WAS PULLING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION MY JEEP PATRIOT STALLED AND I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I WAS ALMOST STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION FROM MY ORIENTATION OF THE INTERSECTION. I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO NO AVAIL. IT WOULD START AND THEN IMMEDIATELY STALL AGAIN. AFTER ALMOST BEING STRUCK 5-6 TIMES AND AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION I MANAGED TO START THE VEHICLE UP AND DRIVE IT HOME BY DRIVING ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR ON BACKROADS FOR THE REMAINING 2 MILES TO MY HOUSE. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO FIND THE PROBLEM I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AMONG MANY JEEP PATRIOT/COMPASS OWNERS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER (FIANCEE) COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IF NOT FOR SHEER LUCK.

WHEELS
VALVE STEMS ( THAT ARE METAL AND HAVE A SENSOR) ARE CORRODING ARE LITERALLY SNAPPING OFF. I'VE CONTACTED JEEP DIRECTLY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE STATES THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE IS NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. I'VE REPLACED 3 VALVE STEMS IN ONE WEEK. MY LATEST ONE HAPPENED TODAY ON AN INTERSTATE THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A HORRIBLE CRASH. I DO HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF RECEIPTS THAT I CAN'T UPLOAD AT THE MOMENT THAT STATE "BAD" VALVE STEMS.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
ON 3/21/2017 AND ON 3/22/2017 THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS 4 TIMES. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED DUE TO THIS AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS TESTED AS TO HAVING NO ISSUE. IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 25-70 MPH AND CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN IT STALLS OUT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND OTHER VEHICLE OPERATORS THAT MAY BE AROUND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS. USUALLY THE CAR WILL START BACK UP AND RUN FOR ANOTHER PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. CHRYSLER HAS HAD MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FILED ABOUT THIS ON MULTIPLE WEBSITES AND WITH THIS AGENCY HOWEVER THE RECALLS IMPLEMENTED FOR THIS PROBLEM HAVE ONLY PERTAINED TO CERTAIN MODELS NONE OF WHICH WERE RELATED TO MY MODEL OF THE JEEP PATRIOT. AGAIN THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AND HAVE YET TO HAVE A DEALER OR MECHANIC BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THANKS

TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS WITHOUT WARNING UNTIL IT ALREADY HAS HAPPENED. TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND MAKES NOISE. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CODES DEALERS CANNOT PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE.. WHILE ON THE FREEWAY CAR WILL OVERHEAT AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN LEAVING YPU AT RISK OF POSSIBLE COLLISIONS. ALWAYS TOLD IT NEEDS A TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THESE FLUSHES ARE ALREADY EXPENSIVE BUT DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM ON HOT DAYS (I LIVE IN ARIZONA) ITS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO OVERHEATING AND SHUTTING

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FOR THE PAST YEAR, AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AND DRIVING 1/2 TO 1 MILE THE ENGINE SPUTTERS/BUCKS AND CUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS WITH EVERY FILL-UP. YES, EVERY FILL-UP. I DON'T OVER FILL, I JUST STOP FILLING WHEN THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL SO AS NOT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I LIVE, I COULD BE KILLED. I READ ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON A JEEP FORUM AND FOUND ABOUT THIS WEBSITE SO I THOUGHT I WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT DUE TO THE DANGEROUS CONDITION.

MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT HAS WET CARPETS ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR. THE HEADLINER IS ALSO LEAKING EVERY TIME I GO THOUGH THE CAR WASH OR IT RAINS HEAVILY. THIS IS A EXTREMELY COMMON JEEP PATRIOT PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THESE JEEPS ARE LEAKING CONSTANTLY. I AM TIRED OF MY JEEP HAVING WET CARPETS AND WATER LEAKING FROM THE ROOF. THIS WILL HAPPEN IF I AM MOVING OR JUST PARKED. WATER CONSTANTLY COMES IN. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR. IT IS ASKING FOR THE DATE IT HAPPENED I AM GOING TO JUST PUT TODAYS DATE, BUT JUST KNOW IT HAS HAPPENED WITH MY JEEP FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFETIME.

POWER TRAIN
THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) REPLACED THREE TIMES BY A CERTIFIED JEEP DEALER. THE FAULTY TCM CAUSES THE JEEP TO BARELY START OR TO SUDDENLY CAUSE THE JEEP TO LOSE POWER IF DRIVING AND ONLY GO ABOUT 5 MPH IN REVERSE OR FIRST GEAR. ALSO, THE TRACTION CONTROL, TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WERE ON. THE TCM HAS FAILED ONCE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND TWICE WHEN MOVING. IT TAKES AT LEAST A WEEK FOR THE DEALER TO ORDER AND INSTALL A REPLACEMENT TCM, LEAVING ME WITHOUT MY JEEP AND CAUSING ME TO LOSE ANY CONFIDENCE IN MY VEHICLE. I COMPLAINED TO BOTH CARMAX, WHERE I BOUGHT THE JEEP; AND TO CHRYSLER JEEP, WHICH HOLDS THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY. BOTH COMPLAINTS WERE REBUFFED AS NOT BEING VALID. I TRIED TO UPLOAD MY DOCUMENTATION BUT COULDN'T. I CAN SEND IT TO YOU VIA EMAIL OR FAX. THE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN DATE WAS THE 4TH TIME I HAD TCM PROBELMS
