ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE HAS SERIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH STEM MAINLY FROM CORRODING WIRES. I'VE HAD IT AT 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS, & 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS ALL FOR THEM TO TELL ME EITHER THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT OR THAT THEY CAN JUST START REPLACING WIRES & HOPE FOR THE BEST BASICALLY EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T WORTH PUTTING THE MONEY INTO AT THIS POINT. THE ELECTRICAL HAS EFFECTED MY BATTERIE (I'VE HAD TO REPLACE 3 BATTERIES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS), AT THIS POINT I HAVE TO HAVE IT ON A BATTERY CHARGER 24/7 WHEN IT ISN'T RUNNING BECAUSE THE IT JUST DRAINS MY BATTERY & WON'T START, 4WD SOMETIMES IT WORKS BUT SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T, AIR CONDITIONING, ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM (WHEN I'D SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF & PULL THE KEY OUT, IT'D STILL BE RUNNING UNTIL IT FINALLY CHOKED ITSELF OUT). I'VE $3,000 INTO THE NEW COMPUTER, $1,000 INTO CORRODING WIRES, & NUMBER NEW BATTERIES AS WELL. AT THIS POINT IT'S A LOST CAUSE. EVERY MACHENIC I'VE SPOKE WITH STATES THAT THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE EXTREMELY COMMON WITH JEEP PATRIOT, COMPAS, & COMMANDERS. THEY RECOMMEND FOR PEOPLE NOT TO PURCHASE THEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BOUGHT A JEEP THRU RANDY WISE DURAND 3 MONTHSS AGO. SINCE BUYING IT IS HAS BEEN RELAIRED W OR 3 TIMES FOR THE ENGINEE RANDOMLY STOPPING WHILE DRIVING. THIS PAST TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME WHEN THE ENGINE FOR NO REASON JUST STOPPED RUNNING. WE WERE ALMOST KILLED BECAUSE THE JEEP WENT FROM 70 TO 0 WITH A SEMI BEHIND US THAT ALMOST SLAMMED US. IT JUST "SHUTS OFF" WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. RANDY WISE HAS NOT OFFERED A REPLACEMENT AND CANNOT SEEM TO FIX IT. A WITNESS IS AVAILABLE.

WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT ON OR ABOUT APRIL 15 2019, THE VEHICLE KEPT KILLING WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PCM HAD SHORTED OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE NEW PCM WAS INSTALLED ON APRIL 20, 2019. THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN ON APRIL 24, 2019. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TRACED THE WIRES IN THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A WEEK AND CONTACTED ME ON MAY 1, 2019 STATING THAT THEY HAD DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION COIL WHICH WAS CORRECTED. WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIIMATELY 5:00 P.M.ON MAY 1ST, DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME ABOUT 10 MILES, TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE 1 HOUR LATER AND THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. WE WILL NOW HAVE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHY HAVEN'T THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOTS BEEN RECALLED?
