TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V324000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE STALLS OUT. THIS HAPPENED ONCE 2 WEEKS AGO AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT WAS OFF THE FOLLOWING MORNING. TODAY, IT HAPPENED TWICE, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 55MPH BOTH TIMES ON CITY STREETS AND NOT TURNING. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, ALL POWER IS LOST TO THE STEERING AND BREAKING SYSTEM.

IT'S BEEN ALMOST 7 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE'S ANY EFFORT IN CORRECTING THIS ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. I KNOW IT'S A RISK DRIVING A VEHICLE REGARDLESS, BUT INCREASING THE POTENTIAL DANGERS FOR A REASON THAT ISN'T MY OWN FAULT IS RIDICULOUS. I WISH I COULD GET RID OF THIS THING, BUT IT WOULD BE A PRETTY LARGE LOSS IF I DID AT THIS POINT, SO I HAVE TO ACCEPT IT UNTIL EITHER THEY FINALLY FIX THE ISSUE LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE MONTHS AGO, OR I GET A RAISE/HIT THE LOTTERY

THE CAR STALLS FREQUENTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. DEALER REPLACED CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IN JUNE 2016 AND INSISTED THE PROBLEM IS UNRELATED TO THE RECALL THAT ALREADY EXISTS WHICH CAUSES STALLING. LESS THAN 1 YEAR AND APPROXIMATELY 12,000 MILES LATER THE CAR IS STALLING FREQUENTLY AGAIN - EVERY TIME THE CAR IS PUT IN REVERSE AND APPROXIMATELY 3-4 TIMES MORE EVERY 20 MINUTES.

ON 3/21/2017 AND ON 3/22/2017 THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS 4 TIMES. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED DUE TO THIS AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS TESTED AS TO HAVING NO ISSUE. IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 25-70 MPH AND CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN IT STALLS OUT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND OTHER VEHICLE OPERATORS THAT MAY BE AROUND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS. USUALLY THE CAR WILL START BACK UP AND RUN FOR ANOTHER PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. CHRYSLER HAS HAD MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FILED ABOUT THIS ON MULTIPLE WEBSITES AND WITH THIS AGENCY HOWEVER THE RECALLS IMPLEMENTED FOR THIS PROBLEM HAVE ONLY PERTAINED TO CERTAIN MODELS NONE OF WHICH WERE RELATED TO MY MODEL OF THE JEEP PATRIOT. AGAIN THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AND HAVE YET TO HAVE A DEALER OR MECHANIC BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THANKS

MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT HAS WET CARPETS ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR. THE HEADLINER IS ALSO LEAKING EVERY TIME I GO THOUGH THE CAR WASH OR IT RAINS HEAVILY. THIS IS A EXTREMELY COMMON JEEP PATRIOT PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THESE JEEPS ARE LEAKING CONSTANTLY. I AM TIRED OF MY JEEP HAVING WET CARPETS AND WATER LEAKING FROM THE ROOF. THIS WILL HAPPEN IF I AM MOVING OR JUST PARKED. WATER CONSTANTLY COMES IN. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY CAR. IT IS ASKING FOR THE DATE IT HAPPENED I AM GOING TO JUST PUT TODAYS DATE, BUT JUST KNOW IT HAS HAPPENED WITH MY JEEP FOR ITS ENTIRE LIFETIME.
