SUSPENSION
NEVER RECEIVED EXTENDED WARRANTY INFORMATION ON FRONT AND REAR CROSSMEMBER CORROSION (X69 WARRANTY EXTENSION). HAVE ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE AT DEALER. THEY NEVER MENTIONED THE EXTENDED COVERAGE NOR DID THEY TELL ME AFTER ANY OF THE SERVICE THERE WAS A RUST ISSUE. NOW THEY REFUSE TO COVER THIS REPAIR. I ALSO HAVE THE LIFETIME MOPAR MAXIMUM CARE. THEY ALSO WON'T COVER BECAUSE THEY SAY THE PART FAILURE IS DUE TO RUST. TGE PARTS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT SHOULD ALL BE COVERED. THEY ARE:REAR CROSSMEMBER - REAR UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS - BOTH REAR CALIPERS

SEATS
VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. WHEN I RETURNED TO CAR, THE PASSENGERS HEADREST HAD COME APART. DID SOME DIGGING ON INTERNET AND NOTICED I AM NOT ALONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PATRIOT OWNERS. OF COURSE MOST WERE AFTER THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. EXTENDED WARRANTY WORTHLESS ALSO BECAUSE IT DOES NOT COVER SRS. EST RIGHT NOW IS AROUND $860.00. GLAD MY 17 YR OLD DAUGHTER WAS NOT SITTING IN THAT SET AS SHE HAD BEEN A COUPLE OF HOURS EARLIER. OTHERWISE, I GUESS THERE WOULD BE MEDICAL BILLS IN ADDITION TO CAR REPAIR BILLS.

POWER TRAIN
MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT THE END OF MAY 2019, I HAVE GONE TO MY BANK TO GET A LOAN TO HAVE IT FIXE AND UPON TALKING TO MY LOAN OFFICER HE INFORMED ME THAT W.IN 150 MILE RADIUS THERE HAS BEEN 14 LOANS TO HAVE TRANSMISSIONS FIXED ON HOW MANY HAS THERE BEEN IN THE STATE OF WI, IN THE WHOLE JEEP COMMUNITY? THERE WAS NO GIVEN WARNING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM W/ OUR JEEP, IT JUST STOPPED WORKING AS MY SON WAS ABOUT TO GO TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING. IT MOVED ABOUT 5 FT AND THAT WAS ABOUT IT, NOTHING MORE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG W/ THIS VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE TRANSMISSION STOPPING. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? JEEP IS A MONEY MAKER, I KNOW THERE A MANY FACTORS IN RECALLS BUT I FIND THAT THIS IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE PRODUCT ITSELF.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THREE TIMES OUR 2011 JEEP PATRIOT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING BROKE THEN WENT INTO LIMP MODE. WE WERE ON A BUSY FREEWAY TWICE AND GETTING READY TO GET ON ONCE. AFTER CALLING GOOD SAM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO A MECHANIC. WE HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AT 2 DIFFERENT TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT GET ANY CODES ON IT. A FEW YEARS BACK WHEN ON A DIFFERENT INCIDENT WE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND ENDED UP REPLACING THE CONTROL MODULE WHICH FIXED IT. THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT. I WAS DONE AFTER THREE TIMES. WE ENDED UP TRADING IT IN FOR A NEW HONDA CRV. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP AGAIN. WE ARE SURPRISED THEY NEVER RECALLED THE PROBLEM WITH THE CONTROL MODULE. I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS AND PROOF

POWER TRAIN
EVERY SUMMER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR THE CVT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVE 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. SEVERAL TIMES MY VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER AND IM FORCED TO THE ROADSIDE TO WAIT UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. IT HAPPENED TO ME IN CHICAGO ONCE WHERE THERE IS NO SHOULDER TO THE THRUWAY AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE KILLED. IVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD NO RESOLVE. THE CAR HAS CURRENTLY BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND IVE ALSO BEEN DEALING WITH JEEP CUSTOMER CAR AND ALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME IS THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IM LOST AT THIS POINT. I THINK THIS MAY FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW BUT JEEP WILL NOT WORK ON ANYTHING WITH ME. PLEASE HELP

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
BOTH WHILE DRIVING, AND WHILE SITTING . VEHICLE EXPERIENCED MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DUE TO SLOW TIPM FAILURE. OVER THE COURSE OF SIX MONTHS. COUNTLESS HOURS AND LOTS OF MONEY ON DIAGNOSTICS. AND FIXING INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS FOR THE PROBLEMS THAT WERE HAPPENING. CAR WAS HESITATING, BUCKING, AND SPORADIC IDLE. ALSO RADIO AND BLUETOOTH CONNECTABILITY STARTED TO GLITCH. CERTAIN LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WERE HANDLED INDIVIDUALLY FOR THE COMPONENTS THAT NORMALLY MAKES THEM HAPPEN. ONLY TEMPORARILY FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE FINAL PROBLEM WAS THE COOLING FANS STAYING ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF. CHECKED ALL INVOLVED CIRCUITRY. EVERYTHING WAS FINE INCLUDING RELAYS. FINALLY SETTLED ON THE TIPM BEING BAD. JEEP THEN TRIED TO GOUGE ME ON THE PRICE. ULTIMATELY WANTING TO CHARGE ABOUT $1,600 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND FIX. INCLUDING $700 JUST FOR THE PART. I LOCATED A NEW OEM PARTS THROUGH A THIRD PARTY FOR $250. AND A SIMPLE PLUG-AND-PLAY INSTALL, CORRECTED ALL PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP THEN TRIED TO SAY THE PART NEEDED TO BE PROGRAMMED. SO THEY COULD CHARGE $200 FOR A SERVICE THAT IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. IF YOU GET THE RIGHT TIPM FOR THE EXACT MODEL AND OPTIONS. A SOFT RESET CAN BE DONE BY SIMPLY USING THE IGNITION KEY. IT IS VERY POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE BY CHRYSLER CORPORATION. AND THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MANY UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS. OFTEN PAYING UPWARDS OF OVER $4,000 IN ONE YEAR FOR MISDIAGNOSED AND OVERPRICED SERVICES.
