2015 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIGHTLY SLIP AT AROUND 90,000 MILES AND AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS WAS IN FACT THE PROBLEM. AS TIME WENT ON IT BECAME MORE OBVIOUS WHAT IT WAS AND OF COURSE AFTER 100,000 MILES IS WHEN THE WARRANTY WAS GOOD NOLONGER SO LOST OUT ON THAT.

THE ENGINE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING, DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE CRANKSHAFT OR CAMSHAFT SENSOR ON THE ENGINE. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

I BOUGHT MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT ON JULY 4, 2020. EVERY SINCE I'VE HAD MY TRUCK, THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO 4 MECHANICS AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A PROBLEM. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I GOT THE TRUCK FROM HAS NOT EVEN TRIED TO CONTACT ME BACK ABOUT THEM FIXING IT FOR ME. I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T WORK AT THIS POINT.

DRIVING ON A CITY STREET GOING 45MPH WHEN RANDOMLY CAR ACCELERATION JUST DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH. CAN'T ACCELERATE CAR FEELS LIKE IS BARELY GOT ANY ACCELERATION POWER. ESC AND ETC LIGHTS TURN ON.

THE HEADREST DEPLOYED ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING. I WAS TOLD BU MY WIFE TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED AND THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS THE METAL BAR THAT LOCKS HEADREST IN PLACE WAS BROKEN. THE METAL SHAFT IS STILL LOCKED IN PLACE . PLEASE SEE PICTURES. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL A JEEP DEALERSHIP. I NOTIFIED BAY DODGE JEEP CHRYSLER IN PANAMA CITY AND HAVE THEM CHECK FOR ANY RECALLS. THEY TOLD ME NO AND I GET WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO GET A NEW ONE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR DEFECT.

WHILE DRIVING, MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT HEAD REST EXPLODED AND IS NOW UNABLE TO GO BACK TOGETHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ASSEMBLY FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL AND FAILED TO ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TONY DOMIANO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE, 816 SCRANTON CARBONDALE HWY, ARCHBALD, PA 18403, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ASSEMBLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND WAS PROVIDED WITH A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000. *BF *AS

VEHICLE HESITATES WHILE ACCELERATING ON FLAT OR INCLINED GROUND. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) INDICATOR LIGHT WILL COME DURING THE HESITATION AND GO OFF WHEN POWER RESUMES. SEE ATTACHED PHOTO FOR REFERENCE. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THE RED LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE CAR HAS GONE INTO LIMP MODE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRACTION AN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE CAR CAN BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AND THIS OCCASIONALLY CLEARS IT. AT TIMES AN OBD-II COMPUTER MUST BE USED TO CLEAR THE CODES AND THEN RESUME DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY SINCE 2018.

ABOUNT THREE MONTHS AGO THE JEEP STATED TO STALE AS I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AS I PULLED OVER IT JUST DIED NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON I TOWED IT TO MY HOUSE THEN TRIED IT AFTER A FEW DAYS AND LIKE NOTHING THEN IT STARTED OVERHEATING SO I PARKED IT AGAIN WAITED A DAY TRYED IT AGAIN AND EVER SINCE NOTHING IT CRANKS BUT WONT TURN OVER ITS JUST DEAD THE MILAGE IS AT 47000 ITS BEEN A WASTE OF TIME MONEY EFFORT VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS JEEP I AM ON FOOT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO PROTECTE CONSUMERS

I HAVE A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT WITH 65,000 MILES ON IT. OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO CUT OFF OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE DRIVING. THE RPM DROPS TO ZERO AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. NO ERROR CODES SHOW UP. NOTHING. IT STARTS BACK UP, USUALLY WITH NO ISSUE BUT THEN DOES IT AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER. IT HAPPENS VERY SPORADICALLY AND SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. IT HAPPENS WHILE GOING SLOW, GOING FAST, WHILE ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND WE LIVE ON BACK ROADS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT THERE ARE THIS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE AND THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL.
