STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE
MY MECHANIC HAS BEEN TELLING ME THAT THE FRAME/SUBFRAME OF MY JEEP PATRIOT IS EXTREMELY CORRODED. THE RUST HAS CORRODED OTHER PARTS OF MY CAR AND IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. THE CORROSION HAS SERIOUSLY DETERIORATED THE REAR CROSS MEMBER OF MY CAR. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A NUMBER OF CLAIMS TO CHRYSLER ON THE STRUCTURAL DAMAGES OF SOME JEEP MAKES/MODELS. I ONCE TRIED CLAIMING THE WARRANTY BUT THE DEALER DENIED SERVICES TO MY CAR. I NEED HELP TO FIX THIS.

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING NOT FAR FROM MY HOUSE DOING BETWEEN 20 AND 25 MPH. THE ROAD IS VERY WINDY AND BEING A SECONDARY ROAD THERE ARE NO GUARD RAILS. BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD ARE HEAVILY POPULATED WITH TREES. COMING UP TO ANOTHER CURVE IN THE ROAD I APPLIED MY BRAKES THE SLOW A LITTLE MORE TO TAKE THE CURVE, AS I STARTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL I REALIZED IT WOULD NOT TURN, IT WAS LOCKED IN PLACE.NOW I'M APPLYING MY BRAKES HARDER, FIGHTING TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND STOP, ALL TO NO AVAIL. I HIT A TREE BEFORE I COULD STEER MY JEEP. MY "PURCHASED NEW" 2016, IN VERY GOOD CONDITION IS NOW TOTALED, WINDOWS BLOWOUT, AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, AND THANK GOD I WALKED AWAY WITH THE HELP OF EMS, FIREFIGHTERS AND POLICE. I AM A SINGLE WORKING MOTHER, WHO COULD HAVE LOST HER LIFE. I KNOW THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VIN NUMBER BUT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINS ABOUT OTHER JEEPS, (MY YEAR AND OTHER YEARS) WITH THE STEERING LOCKING UP OR FREEZING. AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING THE POLICE REPORT WAS NOT READY. I WILL OBTAIN THAT REPORT. I ALSO THINK I SHOULD REQUEST THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAVE THE JEEP CHECKED OUT TO SEE IF THEY CAN TELL WHAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. IF THIS CAN BE DONE ALSO, I WILL OBTAIN THIS REPORT ALSO AND UPLOAD EVERYTHING WITH PICTURES OF MY TOTALED JEEP.THANKING YOU ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN SUPPLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MANUFACTURER AS THE SYMPTOMS I'M EXPERIENCING ARE IDENTICAL TO THE ISSUES ADDRESSED IN TSB: NHTSA16V907000 FROM 2016/12/16 CRANKSHAFT SENSOR MAY FAIL CAUSING ENGINE STALL. APPARENTLY, MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE INITIAL RECALL, YET MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT IS DEMONSTRATING THE EXACT PROBLEMS CITED IN THE INITIAL RECALL. MY SYMPTOMS INCLUDE INTERMITTENT TRIGGERING OF THE VEHICLE TO ENTER LIMP MODE RESULTING IN LOSS OF ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND DRASTIC REDUCTION OF ENGINE OUTPUT POWER. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATES, SPORADICALLY. ENGINE IDLES ROUGHLY AND/OR AT LOW RPMS SPORADICALLY. CYCLING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON WILL SOMETIMES RESULT IN THE A RETURN TO NORMAL VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE RESURFACE THE NEXT DAY. THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND ITS WIRING HARNESS, THE INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, EXHAUST CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ITS WIRING HARNESS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND THROTTLE BODY SHOULD ALL BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE NECESSARY COMPUTER RESET/REPROGRAMMING SHOULD BE PERFORMED AS WELL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE TANK WITH GAS THE PUMP KEEPS SHUTTING OFF EVERY 5-10 SECONDS AND SOMETIMES GAS COMES BACK OOUT THE FILL TUBE. MY MECHANIC SAYS WE HAVE A BAD ROLLOVER VALVE AND THE WHOLE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO FIX IT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BELIEVE A FEW YEARS BACK THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SENSOR GOING OFF. I HAD THE SENSOR CHECKED, AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL WAS ADDRESSED AND CLEARED. MY SENSOR IS NOW GOING OFF AGAIN. IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AGAIN UNTIL THE PREVIOUS RECALL?

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ONCE IN 2017. THEN IT WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON 4 YEARS LATER. ON JANUARY 15, 2021 IT CAME ON ABOUT 20 TIMES. AND THEN ALL WEEKEND. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER IT WAS A SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IN THIS CASE THE PASSENGER SIDE DOESN'T HAVE A FULLY OPERATIONAL PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, AS SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR POSSIBLY KILLED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON ALL ACCOUNTS ON CITY STREETS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK TO NORMAL FULL LEVEL, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND RUN AT VERY LOW RAM. THIS ONLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE TANK TO FULL AND STARTING TO ACCELERATE AT A NORMAL RATE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE ACROSS MANY JEEP VEHICLES.

SEATS
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.
