ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING ALONG AT SPEEDS OF 35 MPH, THE ENGINE RANDOMLY SHUT OFF, LOCKED THE STEERING WHEEL, AND CAME TO A STOP. THIS OCCURRED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED ON A STATE ROUTE 28. A MANUAL RESTART OF THE VEHICLE WAS REQUIRED EACH TIME, AND THE ISSUE OCCURS DAILY. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS, SPEEDS, TIMES OF DAY, ETC. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE.

SEATS
THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT (AHR) IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SELF-DEPLOYED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED (ENGINE WAS OFF) IN THE DRIVEWAY -NO COLLISION OR EXTERNAL ACTION INVOLVED. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS UNOCCUPIED WHEN THE AHR WAS ACTIVATED. IT APPEARED THAT TWO PLASTIC TABS POSSIBLY USED TO SECURE THE DEVICE IN POSITION HAD SHEARED OFF. AS A RESULT, THE AHR COULD NOT BE PLACED BACK IN ITS ORIGINAL POSITION.

HELLO . MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN CAR ACCIDENT . SHE WAS IN HER 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHICH THE ACCIDENT WAS PRETTY BIG. WHICH CAUSED AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. AIRBAG FROM STEERING WHEEL DIDN'T DEPLOY PROPERLY AND ALSO THE AIRBAG FROM THE DASHBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIRBAGS RELEASED A LOT OF WHITE POWDER AND SMOKE WHICH MADE HER HAVE A HARD TIME BREATHING. SHE IS IN THE HOSPITAL NOW DUE TO THE LACK OF HELP FROM THE AIRBAG AND ALSO INHALING THE SUBSTANCE FROM THE AIRBAG

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN DUE TO LACK OF POWER. IT HAPPENED QUICKLY AND POSED A DANGER AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO GO FASTER THAN 20MPH AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 70 MILES HOME. THIS FAILURE HAS HAPPENED WITH ONLY 33K MILES. THIS SUDDEN AND EARLY FAILURE CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
APPROXIMATELY 12/2018 I HAD TO HAVE MY GAS TANK REPLACED DUE TO A FAULTY ROLLOVER VALVE/FLAPPER/INLET CHECK VALVE LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK. I AM NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NEW GAS TANK. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM IS WELL OVER $1400 AND TO HAVE TO DO THE SAME REPAIR TWICE IS UNTHINKABLE. THIS HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL, BECAUSE IF THESE VALVES/FLAPPERS ARE SUPPOSED TO EXPEL AIR FROM THE SYSTEM, COULDN'T THIS BE HARMING MY VEHICLE MORE AND/OR CAUSE PRESSURE TO BUILD IN THE TANK? THERE WAS TSB 14-001-09 REV A ISSUED. CHRYSLER ADMITS THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND HAS RECALLED A BUNCH OF JEEPS, DODGES, AND SOME CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VANS. HOWEVER, MY MAKE AND MODEL (08 PATRIOT) IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY ISSUED FOR THE GAS TANKS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I ATTEMPT TO REFILL GAS IN MY JEEP, THE TANK PREVENTS THE GAS FROM FLOWING INTO THE VEHICLE. I CAN REFILL THE TANK, BUT BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE, IT TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO REFILL THE GAS WITH THE PUMP REPEATEDLY SHUTTING OFF.

ENGINE
VEHICLE IS STALLING WITHOUT WARNING AT LOW OR HIGH SPEEDS, WITH LOSS OF BRAKE ASSIST AND STEERING ASSIST. MULTIPLE VISITS TO DEALER HAVE NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM AS DEALER CLAIMS HE CAN NOT DUPLICATE. IN SEVERAL OF THE STALLING INCIDENTS, A CRITICALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITION WAS CREATED. STALL HAS OCCURRED BOTH IN STRAIGHT LINE TRAVEL AND IN TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I TURN ON CAR A RED LIGHTING LIGHT KEPT COMING UP ON DASHBOARD, BY MY GAS METER. ALSO, IT SEEMED LIKE MY CAR DIDN'T WANT TO SPEED OR IT WOULD AFTER AND GO LOW VELOCITY. WHEN THIS LIGHT TURNED ON. I LOOKED IT UP AND IT'S THE 'ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL' I SEEN A COUPLE OF VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE AND SAY IT MAY BE A RECALL FROM 2011-2017 JEEP PATRIOTS WANTED TO KNOW IF IT IS AND NEED TO FIX SOON BEFORE IT GETS WORSE. PLEASE. NO MONEY DUE TO COVID AND RECENTLY LOOKING FOR ANOTHER JOB. CAN'T AFFORD $1200

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AFTER HEAVY RAIN OR CAR WASH, WATER POURS OUT OF MAP LIGHTS INTO THE RADIO AND GEAR SHIFTER. IT IS DANGEROUS/DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AND I'M AFRAID IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE ELECTRONICS AND THE JEEP'S MAIN COMPUTER TO FAIL. WHILE TURNING, THE WATER WILL SOAK THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER SUDDENLY DEPENDING IN WHICH DIRECTION THE TURN WAS MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO OCCASIONS TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND FIX THE ISSUE. A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING WAS SHOWN TO THEM SO THERE WOULD BE NO MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND TO HELP THEM SEE THE PROBLEM. BOTH TIMES THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT STILL LEAKS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT. VEHICLE LOST POWER AND ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WOULD STALL. VEHICLE WOULD ONLY DRIVE AT VERY LOW SPEED TO GET TO SAFETY. AFTER RESTARTING, ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON, VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE BUT SOON FAILED AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MILES AND THE THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT MAY COME ON AS WELL. WAS TOO CONCERNED WITH GETTING TO SAFETY TO KNOW FOR SURE.

SUSPENSION
FRONT CROSSMEMBER IS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT. CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS TO 10 YEARS TO INCLUDE INSPECTIONS RATHER THAN RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. SINCE I BOUGHT THIS JEEP USED I WAS NOT INFORMED THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM OR THAT I WAS ENTITLED TO INSPECTIONS TO LOOK FOR THIS PROBLEM. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS A CONTROL ARM ISSUE BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT ON THE HOIST, LOOKING AT IT FROM BELOW, THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER HAS NEARLY COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. NO OTHER PARTS OF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS EXTENT CORROSION DAMAGE. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION OR CHOICE OF SURFACE COATING FOR THIS PART. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH CONSUMERS MAY BE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF, UNLESS THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY HAD A CUSTOMER MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM JUST TO HAVE THE CROSSMEMBER GIVE WAY, DROPPING THE THE ENGINE ONTO THE GROUND IN THE PARKING LOT. UNBELIEVABLE! I WISH I HAD PHOTOS FROM WHEN I ORIGINALLY HAD IT ON THE HOIST, BUT I DIDN'T GET THEM. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW. CHRYSLER INITIALLY SAID THEY WOULD TRY TO OFFER SOME "GOOD WILL" BUT HAVE SINCE REJECTED THIS DUE TO THE $2350.00 ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR. NO WONDER THEY WEREN'T RECALLED. SHAME ON YOU CHRYSLER!
