2012 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

I REPLACE A TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE JEEP DEALERSHIP NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEM AGAIN WITH THE TRANNY IT STALLS . I HAVE TO CUT IT OFF TO RESTART IT FOR IT TO HAVE POWER TO PULL OFF.

(1) SEAT BELTS/AIR BAGS: HAVE NOT HAD NOTICEABLE ISSUES WITH THESE YET HOWEVER ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A CHRYSLER RECALL #S61. IS A SAFETY RISK BECAUSE I COMMUTE TO WORK DAILY ON THE FREE WAY AND COULD GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT WHICH COULD BE DEADLY IF THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY OR IF THE SEATBELT DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. (2) AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS: CHRYSLER RECALL # N01; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEGAN HAVING ISSUES SPONTANEOUSLY AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE AND HAVE PERSISTED. WARNING SIGNALS ON DASH WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL-RELATED. JEEP WILL ALSO RANDOMLY ALERT WHILE DRIVING MAKING A, "DING" NOISE WHEN THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. THIS SOFTWARE/ELECTRICAL ERROR COULD CAUSE AIR BAGS TO NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY AND CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SEATBELT PRE-TENSIONERS AS WELL WHICH COULD BE DEADLY IN A HIGH-SPEED FREEWAY ACCIDENT. (3) FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: CHRYSLER RECALL # N17; JEEP HAS LURCHED WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING AS IF THE ENGINE WAS STALLING OR AS IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. JEEP WILL LURCH MOST OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS GETTING STUCK OR THE ENGINE IS STALLING BECAUSE THE RPM READING WILL SHOOT UP THEN DROP BACK DOWN TO ALMOST NOTHING. (4) FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STORAGE TANK, ASSEMBLY: CHRYSLER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 JEEP PATRIOT'S DUE TO SOME VEHICLES BEING BUILT WITH A FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY CONTAINING A DAMAGED ROLL-OVER VALVE. (5) SUSPENSION: CONSTANT SQUEAKING IN BACK SUSPENSION OF VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR DRIVING ON UNEVEN GROUND. AUTOMOTIVE SHOP HAS YET TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OR ISSUE RESULTING IN THE SQUEAKING AND CREAKING AND WE HAVE BEEN GOING TO THEM FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS FOR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION OF THIS VEHICLE (2012 JEEP PATRIOT) IS PRONE TO OVERHEATING. THIS OCCURS WHEN TRAVELING FOR A FEW HOURS AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAVE FOUND THIS TO OCCUR TWICE WHEN TRAVELING AROUND 70 MILES PER HOUR OVER A PERIOD OF 2-3 HOURS. THE CAR'S OVERHEAT LIGHT COMES ON, FOLLOWED BY A STEADY DECREASE IN SPEED AND INABILITY TO ACCELERATE, PRESUMABLY TO PROTECT THE TRANSMISSION FROM FURTHER DAMAGE. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE, AS CITED BY NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS ON FORUMS.

TAKATA RECALL MY CATCAYLIC CONVERTER WENT BAD ITS NOT WORKING DUE TO FAILURE AND VEHICLE WILL STALL AND NOT GO BACKWARD ARE FORWARD. I HERE ITS A A RECALL FOR THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. ARRIGO DODGE CHRYSLER/JEEP SAWGRASS (5901 MADISON AVE, TAMARAC, FL) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

CAR MAKES A WHINING NOISE ONCE IT'S BEEN DRIVING FOR A LITTLE BIT. IT IS IN SYNC WHEN YOU ACCELERATE (WHINES UP WHEN PUSHING GAS, WHINES DOWN WHEN YOU LET GO). IT HESITATES TO ACCELERATE WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE FREEWAY. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I'VE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON, THE WHINING NOISE CONTINUES AND THE CAR WILL JUST SLOW DOWN AND EVENTUALLY STOP. I'VE HAD TO CROSS MULTIPLE LANES ON THE FREEWAY TO TRY AND GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER SO I DIDN'T BREAK DOWN AND GET HIT RIGHT AWAY. WHEN STARTING THE CAR STARTS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND IS VERY SHAKY. DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST OVER $4,000. THERE ARE PLENTY OF WEBSITES THAT PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. IT IS A COMMON ISSUE ACROSS THE BOARD WITH PATRIOTS. THESE NEED TO BE RECALLED, PEOPLE ARE SPENDING THOUSANDS GETTING THEIR TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY ARE BREAKING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS APPEARS WHEN ENGINE STALLS. IT MAY RESTART AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES. THIS REOCCURS RANDOMLY. AFTER IT STARTS BACK UP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING ALMOST 2 MONTHS TO GET MY VEHICLE RECALL SERVICE. PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE THE PART IN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. EVERYTIME I AM TOLD TO CALL BACK NEXT THIS IS TERRIBLE SERVICE THE RECALL IS FOR EMISSION RECALL- CATALYTIC CONVERTER EFFICIENCY I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR RECALL SERVICE LAST WEEK FOR 5/17/19. WHEN I ARRIVED THE DEALERSHIP DIDNT HAVE ME ON THE APPOINTMENT BOOK & ALL THE PARTS WERE NOT IN. MY VEHICLE ISNT DRIVING SMOOTH. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY

I BOUGHT A JEEP THRU RANDY WISE DURAND 3 MONTHSS AGO. SINCE BUYING IT IS HAS BEEN RELAIRED W OR 3 TIMES FOR THE ENGINEE RANDOMLY STOPPING WHILE DRIVING. THIS PAST TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME WHEN THE ENGINE FOR NO REASON JUST STOPPED RUNNING. WE WERE ALMOST KILLED BECAUSE THE JEEP WENT FROM 70 TO 0 WITH A SEMI BEHIND US THAT ALMOST SLAMMED US. IT JUST "SHUTS OFF" WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. RANDY WISE HAS NOT OFFERED A REPLACEMENT AND CANNOT SEEM TO FIX IT. A WITNESS IS AVAILABLE.
