ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THERE IS A DELAY IN STARTING THEN WHEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE JERKS OR STALLS LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE. ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION DO NOT SEEM TO MAKE IT STOP OR FIX THE ISSUE. OCCASIONALLY WHEN GOING UP HILL THE VEHICLE WILL HIT 4RPM LIKE IT IS UNABLE TO SHIFT AND NEITHER ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION FIX THE ISSUE EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER CLIMBING THE HILL. THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON AND NO CODES TO BE READ. I HAVE TRIED GAS TREATMENT AND TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND 2 MECHANICS AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY IT IS DOING IT OR HOW TO STOP IT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT WITH 65,000 MILES ON IT. OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO CUT OFF OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE DRIVING. THE RPM DROPS TO ZERO AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. NO ERROR CODES SHOW UP. NOTHING. IT STARTS BACK UP, USUALLY WITH NO ISSUE BUT THEN DOES IT AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER. IT HAPPENS VERY SPORADICALLY AND SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. IT HAPPENS WHILE GOING SLOW, GOING FAST, WHILE ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND WE LIVE ON BACK ROADS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT THERE ARE THIS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE AND THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL.

SEATS
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50 M.P.H., WHEN THE HEADREST ON THE PASSENGER'S SEAT EXPLODED. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS SEATED IN IT AT THE TIME. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL JEEP MODELS. I AM NOW CONCERNED, WONDERING WHEN OR IF THE DRIVER'S SIDE MAY DEPLOY WHILE I AM DRIVING.

TWO MONTHS AGO MY JEEP STARTED BUCKING VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING AFTER IT SAT FOR A MONTH BEING DRIVEN MAYBE ONCE A WEEK. I REFILLED THE TANK WITH PREMIUM AND IT STILL DIDN'T HELP. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. IT STOPPED DOING THAT FOR FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS BUT NOW IT STARED DOING IT AGAIN. IT DOES IT WHEN I'M AM ACCELERATING FROM A SLOW DOWN AND ALSO ONCE I GET UP TO 60 ON THE HIGHWAY

THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WAS REPAIRED IN NOVEMBER OF 2019. IT IS JULY OF 2020, I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 2500 MILES SINCE THE INITIAL REPAIR AND THE VEHICLE IS PRODUCING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS IT WAS BEFORE THE REPAIR. IT HESITATES, ALMOST STALLS, AND LUNGES WHILE DRIVING. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE DRIVE BY WIRE WARNING LIGHT ALL FLASH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND RUNNING.

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT AND THIS KEEPS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. JUST TODAY IT HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN 15 MINUTES SO I PULL OVER, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND WAIT FOR IT TURN OFF TO DO THE SAME THING 15 MINUTES LATER. LUCKILY I AM ABLE TO GET TO AN EXIT AND NOT HAVING TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY BUT THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT LIGHT WILL STAY ON AND THEN THE CAR LOSE THE POWER. GLAD I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THE PROBLEM

MY 2011 JEEP PATRIOT ONLY HAS 80000 MILES ON IT, RECENTLY TOOK IT TO GARAGE FOR NOISES AND MECHANIC SAYS THE SUB FRAME IS CORRODING AND IT'S GOING TO BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS A BIG EXPENSE AND ESPECIALLY WITH SO FEW MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I'VE GONE ON LINE AND READ MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS.

SUSPENSION
LOUD CLUNKING NOISE FROM LEFT FRONT WHEEL AREA WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING TURNS.. VISUAL INSPECTION REVEALED CROSSMEMBER SERIOUSLY RUSTED AND CORRODED AT UPPER CONTROL ARM AREA. SEVERAL MAJOR CRACKS IN SUBFRAME DUE TO RUST THROUGH COMPROMISING VEHICLE STABILITY. COMPLAINTS MADE TO CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO RESOLUTION. CHRYSLER WAS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND PUT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN PERTAINING TO THE PROBLEM.SERVICE BULLETIN 23-007-17 REV B. EXTENDING WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR ONLY 10 YEARS. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER DELIBERATELY PUT A 10 YEAR CAP ON THESE PARTS TO LIMIT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE THEY WERE WELL AWARE OF THE SEVERE RUSTING ISSUE AND KNEW OTHER VEHICLES WOULD SOON BE EFFECTED. I 'AM NOW FACING A REPAIR BILL OF OVER $1000.00 AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE ANYTHING ELSE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THIS PARTS FAILURE.
