AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
TAKATA RECALL RECALL DATE: SEPTEMBER 13, 2016 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: S61 SUMMARY: THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES. SAFETY RISK: THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN SUCH CRASH EVENTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH. REMEDY: THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER MUST BE REPLACED. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE RECEIVED LETTER, NO REMEDY AVAILABLE MONTHS LATER. HOW CAN I ALLOW MY TEEN CHILD TO SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT WITHOUT WORRY? I CAN'T USE MY PASSENGER SEAT! I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WERE ALSO NO HELP. I DRIVE A LOT FOR WORK AND CANNOT SAFELY TRANSPORT PEOPLE IN MY FRONT SEAT. IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH SOMEONE THERE AND THEY ARE INJURED, THEN WHAT? I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M PAYING ON A DEFECTIVE CAR! BEEN WAITING SINCE SEPTEMBER FOR A REMEDY.

ENGINE
PURCHASED MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT PRE-OWNED FROM A LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP. APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND SHUT DOWN. I WAS GOING 55 AND IT ALL OF THE SUDDEN SLOWED TO 30MPH. THANK GOODNESS I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AS SOON AS I GOT TO THE SHOULDER, I SHUT THE CAR OFF THEN RESTARTED AND WAS FINE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. THEN 3 DAYS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HADN'T HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE. DEBATED ON TAKING THE VEHICLE IN ANYWAY BUT NEXT TIME IT STARTED AND HAS DRIVEN WITHOUT STALLING SINCE THEN. WELL, A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THE GAS PEDAL STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN WHERE IT FELT LIKE IT HAD A BRIEF LAG IN THE ACCELERATION. I STOPPED FOR GAS ON MY WAY HOME AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP! I AM SCARED EVERY TIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL THAT ITS GOING TO TRY TO STALL WHILE I AM DRIVING OR I WILL END UP STRANDED SOMEWHERE. IN PURCHASING A JEEP I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE JEEP BRAND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE VEHICLE, NOT SO MUCH NOW. I WILL NEVER WASTE MY MONEY ON ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES AGAIN!

SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT (HIGH ALTITUDE ). I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT MY SUV IN REVERSE AND STARTED TO BACK OUT. I ONLY MADE IT ABOUT 3 FEET. SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOAD BANG AND FELT A BLOW(HIT) TO MY HEAD AND NECK. IT WAS REALLY FAST AND HARD. IT HIT SO HARD THAT I THOUGHT I WAS IN A WRECK OR SOMETHING . MY SON WAS FREAKED OUT AT THE NOISE AND THOUGHT SOMETHING HIT US TOO. AFTER LOOKING OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AND FINDING NOTHING, I NOTICED THE HEADREST WAS MESSED UP. APPARENTLY THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED. I DID SOME SEARCHES ONLINE AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL AT ALL. ESPECIALLY WHILE YOUR CAR IS IN REVERSE. THIS ALSO ONLY HAPPENED ON THE DRIVER SEAT ONLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE TPM AND SECURITY LIGHT FLASH INTERMITTENTLY/ I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE OVER TO FIAT CHRYSLER SERVICE FOR A NUMBER OF REPAIRS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. PARTS REPLACED INCLUDED: STEERING WHEEL COMMUNICATION TRANSCEIVER, INTERNAL WIRING AND GROUND CHECKED, MAIN ENGINE TRANSMISSION MODULE, IGNITION SWITCH. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COVERED BY CHRYSLER MAX CARE WARRANTY, DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN WORKING WITH ME REGARDING REPAIRS AND SUPPLIED A LOANER CAR. THE TPM AND SECURITY LIGHTS WILL FLASH FOR A SHORT TIME AT IDLE, SPEEDS 10 MPH THROUGH 60 MPH, DRY, RAIN, SNOW CONDITIONS. WHEN THE JEEP HAS BEEN FOR REPAIRS CHRYSLER FACTORY WAS CONTACTED BY THE SERVICING DEALER. JEEP OWNERS MANUAL SAYS IF THE SECURITY LIGHT IS ON FOR 16 SECONDS THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN. INITIAL DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED THE IGNITION KEY WAS NOT IDENTIFIED, THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT HAVE STARTED. ON GOING PROBLEM FROM JANUARY 2017, NEW IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED 3/ 8/ 2017. I DROVE AROUND WITH A DEALER INSTALLED DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE FOR TWO WEEKS. WHEN THE TPM AND SL POWERED ON PRESSED A BUTTON ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MODULE THAT WOULD RECORDED CODES 20 SECONDS BEFORE AND AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE WAS TRIGGERED . I HOPE NO ONE GETS INJURED DUE TO THE JEEP ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. ONCE AGAIN THE SERVICING DEALER HAS BEEN DOING THE BEST THEY CAN. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON THE INTERNET.

WATER LEAKING IN THROUGH INTERIOR LIGHTS. MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A SUNROOF AND WATER IS DRIPPING FROM THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEAR THE TAILGATE. AFTER A RAIN SHOWERS IN VANCOUVER, WA I ENTERED THE BACK HATCH OF MY CAR TO STORE MY WORK GEAR BEFORE I LEFT WORK AND THERE ON THE TIRE COVER IS A PUDDLE OF WATER. I LOOKED UP AND THE ASSEMBLY AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING HEADLINER ARE SOAKED. WHILE TURNING WATER COMES OUT IN A NICE SOLID STREAM AND LANDS ON MY CLOTHES AND OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS. A LITTLE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH FCA VEHICLES SINCE 2007. THIS WATER LEAK CAUSES INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL SHORTS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CHILDREN AND I WERE DRIVING 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY JEEP PATRIOT RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, THE THE VEHICLE GAVE NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE IT JUST STOP, THE CARS BEHIND US STARTED TO STEAM ON THEIR BRAKES RUNNING OFF THE ROAD, WE HAD TO DRIVE OFF THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD TO PREVENT GETTING HIT. IT'S WAS SO TERRIFYING . THE POLICE CAME AND WANTED TO GIVE US A TICKET FOR WRECK LESS OPERPERATION OF A VEHICLE AND THOUGH I WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SOMETHING. I BEGAN TO CRY. IT TOOK 10 MINUTES TO RESTART CAR. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A COUPLE HOURS LATER WITH NO WARNING. WHEN WE GOT BACK FROM OUR TRIP WE TOOK IT TO FORD MARSHALL, NICK MAYER IN MAYFIELD OHIO . IT IS DOCUMENTED THERE NUMEROUS TIMES THAT THIS VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY AT HIGH SPEEDS BUT THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER COMES ON WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND IT IS NOT SENDING A CODE TO GIVE THEM A DIAGNOSIS , SO IF THEY DON'T HAVE A CODE , THEY CAN'T WARRANTY OUT THE PART TO FIX IT FOR ME TO FIX THE ISSUE. SO THEN THEY SEND ME HOME EVERYTHIME AND PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER AGAIN. TODAY MY CAR STALLED AGAIN RIGHT IN FRONT OF A POLICE CAR. I JUST SAT THERE AND CRIED
