SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ACTIVE HEADREST WAS DEPLOYED/ACTIVATED WHILE IDLE AT A RED LIGHT, THE HEADREST HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD AND MADE ME RELEASE THE BRAKE WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THERE WAS ALSO A VERY LOUD NOISE (KIND OF LIKE A GUN SHOT NOISE). THIS WAS VERY SCARY AS I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED OR WHAT HAD HIT MY HEAD, I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXAMINE MY CAR TO MAKE SURE IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE IT. ALL THIS WHILE I WAS IN PAIN RESULTING FROM THE HEADREST HITTING THE BACK OF MY HEAD.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS GOING DOWN FERN VALLEY ROAD IN LOUISVILLE, KY AND SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES AND TO AVOID COLLISION I SLAMMED ON MINE. I HEARD A CRUNCH AND WHEN I TOOK OFF MY DRIVER SIDE TIRE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS SQUEALING SO I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. MY DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS COCKED SIDEWAYS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS STRAIGHT. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED YET SO I JUST GOT IT TOWED. IT APPEARS THE SUBFRAME HAS SNAPPED DUE TO A LARGE AMOUNT OF RUST.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN HOME WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MY "LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT" CAME ON AND MY "FISH TAIL" LIGHT CAME ON THEN MY ENGINE STALLED IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT ON A BUSY ROAD. BUT I NORMALLY AM DRIVING THE INTERSTATE FOR WORK. (I WORK WITH PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, INCLUDING HAVING THEM IN MY VEHICLE.) THE CODE IS LETTING ME KNOW THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL IS BAD. I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND 2014 JEEP PATRIOTS HAVE THIS RECALL. BUT MY VIN SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT. THEREFORE I'M NOT SURE IF A DEALERSHIP WILL COVER IT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DEVASTATING ACCIDENT IF WE HAD BEEN ON A BUSY ROAD.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS ISSUE STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN OUR 2008 JEEP PATRIOT WAS APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS OLD. ALMOST EVERY TIME WE FILL THE TANK WITH GAS, IMMEDIATELY TO WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS THE CAR WILL SHUDDER AND STALL, THEN IT HAS A HARD TIME RESTARTING. WE HAVE HAD THE VAPOR PURGE VALVE AND CANISTER CHANGED 3 TIMES WHICH SEEMED TO FIX IT THE FIRST 2 TIMES, BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY. THIS HAS BEEN QUITE DISTURBING SINCE IT HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC, USUALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT OR TO MAKE A TURN, BUT A COUPLE OF TIMES IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE GAS STATION. IT IS USUALLY OK AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT, BUT IT HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE THE FOLLOWING DAY A FEW TIMES. NONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS OR REPAIR SHOPS THAT WE HAVE TALKED TO SEEM TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE. I HAVE FOUND THAT NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK FULLY, THE ISSUE SEEMS TO OCCUR MUCH LESS OFTEN, BUT THE FEAR OF IT STALLING WHILE DRIVING IS CONSTANT, AND IS STILL A MAJOR ISSUE TO THIS DAY.

ENGINE
ANYTIME I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT JERKS AND SHUDDERS. SO I'LL BE IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY OR AT A LIGHT AND ONCE I START GOING THE JEEP WILL BE JUMPY AND NOT ACCELERATE. IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S ALMOST EVERY STOP AND I FEEL LIKE EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE WILL JUST STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A LIGHT. WHICH IS DEFINITELY IS A CONCERN BECAUSE I DRIVE WITH A 4 YEAR OLD MOST OF THE TIME. NO ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON SO THAT'S ALSO A CONCERN WHEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT'S NOT OKAY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT VEHICLE STARTED TO LOOSE ENGINE POWER REALLY FAST AND STARTED TO JERK AND SLOW DOWN ON IT'S OWN BARELY ANY POWER. TWO DASH TROUBLE LIGHTS CAME ON. A ENGINE TROUBLE LIGHT AND A LIGHTING BOLT TROUBLE LIGHT BOTH CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY BARELY PULLED THE CAR INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT CLOSE BY. HAD I BEEN ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING A HIGHER SPEED AREA THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS ! I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR AFTER WAITING AND LUCKILY THERE WAS AN AUTO PARTS STORE NEARBY. UPON CHECKING THE DASH LIGHTS WITH THEIR COMPUTER UNIT IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS A FAILED THROTTLE CONTROL UNIT . AFTER IT WAS CHECKED A DAY LATER AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER IT WAS DETERMINED THE THROTTLE UNIT DID FAIL. SINCE I ONLY HAD 20K MILES BUT BEYOND THE 3 YEAR LIMIT WARRANTY THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A JEEP SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PART BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN MODIFIED FROM THE ORIGINAL. DUE TO THE MODIFICATION I HAD TO ALSO PURCHASE A NEW WIRE HARNESS EVEN THOUGH THE OLDER ONE WAS PROBABLY FINE BUT WOULDN'T FIT THE NEWER MODIFIED REPLACEMENT THROTTLE UNIT. WHEN THIS THROTTLE UNIT FAILS YOUR VEHICLE GETS NO GAS SO IT ALMOST SHUTS DOWN IMMEDIATELY ! IN CONFIDENCE I WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL DEALER MAINTENANCE PEOPLE THIS ISN'T A RARE PROBLEM, BUT THE CHRYSLERS JEEP CO. REFUSED TO ABSORB ANY LIABILITY OR PAYMENT TOWARD THIS REPLACEMENT REPAIR AFTER I CONTACTED THEM . THIS IS STRANGE THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN MODIFIED OR UPDATED .....WHY ? THE ORIGINAL UNIT IS DEFECTIVE IS MY GUESS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED ON ALL JEEP PRODUCTS BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS !

WHEELS
OUR 2014 JEEP PATRIOT CAME EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE AFFINITY TIRES . AT 19K MILES ALL 4 TIRES WOULD NOT PASS PA. INSPECTION AND NEEDED REPLACED. THESE TIRES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD TO ANYONE WITHOUT CONSTANT INSPECTIONS OF TREADS. EVEN FOLLOWING PROPER ROTATIONS AND AIR INFLATION REGULATIONS THEY WERE SHOT ! TOTAL JUNK AND VERY UNSAFE TIRES ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN WINTERY STATES. I REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND OF SAFER TIRES....NEVER AGAIN WILL I TRUST FIRESTONE TIRES!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER THE TANK IS FILLED TO FULL, I THEN DRIVE OFF, AND THE NEXT TIME THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE CUTS OUT. THE CAR HAS TO BE PUT INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE IS ABLE TO RESTART, AND THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL - BUT IT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL OUT. AS LONG AS I DON'T FILL THE TANK TO FULL, IT WON'T HAPPEN. HOWEVER THIS HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY HAPPENING ANYTIME I FILL UP THE TANK OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOIT SPORT IT SUDDENLY KINDA JERKS AND WANTS TO STALL LIKE ITS CHOKING. OR NOT GETTING GAS. THIS HAPPENS ON REGULAR ROADS, AND HIGHWAYS. ESPECIALLY AFTER TURNING EVEN SLIGHTLY. EVERYTHING I HAVE READ SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS PERTAINING TO THIS. BUT WHEN I LOOK UP MY VIN. IT SAYS MY CAR HAS NO OPEN RECALLS. COULD IT BE THAT IT WAS RECALLED AND FIXED INCORRECTLY? OR HAVE U JUST NOT RECALLED MY JEEP YET? IT'S PRETTY SCARY AND ALL THE MECHANICS WHO LOOK AT IT, SAY THEY CAN'T DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BECAUSE NOTHING POPS UP WHEN THEY HOOK IT TO DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. IT IS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE. I LOVE MY CAR. BUT LATELY I FEEL NERVOUS DRIVING IT. FOR FEAR IT WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER WHILE ON BUSY HIGHWAY. SO I AVOID THEM AT ALL COST. WILL TRY TO INVEST MORE MONEY TO TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM AFTER TAX TIME, BUT THIS IS AN ISSUE I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFOR. I WROTE A DATE THIS HAPPENED IN THE DATE FIELD BECAUSE IT WAS REQUIRED. BUT IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE. AT ANY SPEED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I TRY TO FILL THE GAS TANK THE FUEL WILL GUSH BACK OUT TOWARDS ME. THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN GET GAS INTO THE TANK IS TO GENTLY LET IT TRICKLE IN WHICH TAKES FOR EVER. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT A VENT INSIDE THE GAS TANK IS FAULTY AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THE FIX IS A NEW GAS TANK AND ABOUT $800.00 AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. SEEMS TO ME THAT HAVING GASOLINE FLUSH BACK ON YOU IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF YOU DON'T KNOW THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN THE GASOLINE GUSHES OUT FASTER THAN THE PUMP NOZZLE HAS A CHANCE TO SHUT IT OFF. IF THIS IS SO COMMON WHY HASN'T IT BEEN ADDRESSED? I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF PROOF THAT I CAN SEND YOU OTHER THAN A VIDEO WHICH I'M WILLING TO DO BUT HOW DO I SEND IT? ENGINE IS OFF NOT RUNNING SITTING AT A GAS PUMP.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HORN STOPPED WORKING ON THIS CAR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AGO. I LOOKED FOR A FUSE OR RELAY AND DISCOVERED ON THE WEB THAT THIS WAS A COMMON CHRYSLER PROBLEM ACROSS ALL PRODUCTS. I REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING WHICH APPEARED TO BE IDENTIFIED AS MOST PROBABLE PROBLEM ON THE WEB; NOT SO. TWO MONTHS AGO I WENT TO THE DEALER AND SAID FOR $150 THEY WOULD IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE HORN ITSELF WORKED, WHICH I TESTED. I TOOK THE STEERING WHEEL APART ONCE AGAIN AND TRACED THE TWO OPERATIONAL HORN WIRES BACK TO THE THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED CRUISE CONTROL MODULE. FOR GRINS I WENT TO THE LOCAL SERVICE YARD AND OBTAINED SAID MODULE. REPLACED THE MODULE AND NOW THE HORN WORKS. FIRST, WHY WOULD THE HORN CIRCUIT BE SO CONVOLUTED SINCE A RELAY AND FUSE WAS THE NORM SINCE THE 1940'S. SECOND, FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, THE COMMON ITEMS NEEDED TO BE WORKING IN A CAR ARE HORN, LIGHTS, BRAKES; THESE ARE COMMON MINIMUM INSPECTION ITEMS. CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE GOOD AND REPAIR/ REPLACE CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS MAJOR FAILURE COULD HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES BECAUSE THE MINDSET OF MOST BACKYARD MECHANICS IS THAT THEY CAN FIX IT AND MANY HAVE CONCEDED FAILURE AND HAVE PUT A HORN BUTTON ON THE DASH AND WIRED TO A BETTER HORN , FUSE AND RELAY. CHECK THE WEB AND YOU CAN SEE THE MULTITUDE OF TRAFFIC ON THE CHRYSLER HORN PROBLEMS. I TRIED TO GET WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR THIS CAR WHICH COST $100 BUT I STOPPED WHEN I FOUND THAT THEY WERE NOT COMPLETE. I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER LIKE PROBABLY ALL MANUFACTURERS HAVE LET THE ELECTRONICS TAKE OVER COMMON SENSE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN MY JEEP PATRIOT STARTED SLOWING DOWN, LIMP AND A BIT OUT OF MY CONTROL. 3 LIGHTS TURNED ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY ENGINE STARTED SHAKING AND MY JEEP SOUNDED ODD SO I TURNED IT OFF. I WAITED A BIT AND TURNED IT BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME SAFELY AS I WAS LESS THAN A MILE AWAY. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SAME THING. APPARENTLY IT'S A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THAT JEEP HAS FAILED TO RECALL OR TAKE ACRION ON. I HAD TO PICK UP MY SON FROM SCHOOL AND THIS TIME THE JEEP WENT LIMP AFTER LESS THAN HALF OF A MILE OF DRIVING. I STRUGGLED TO TAKE MY CAR BACK HOME AND HAD TO KEEP TURNING ON AND OFF MY CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I WAS VERY LUCKY TO JUST BE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JULY. THESE SORT OF ISSUES SHOULDN'T ALREADY BE HAPPENING. I NOW WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC AND SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR.
