2015 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR MAT IS HOOKED BY ONE HOOK WHICH CAUSES THE FLOOR MAT TO SLIDE AROUND AND POTENTIALLY GET JAMMED UNDER THE ACCELERATOR AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE BECAUSE OF THE PHYSICS OF ONE HOOK RATHER THAN TWO. OTHER YEARS MODELS HAVE TWO HOOKS.

TAKATA RECALL THERE IS A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP IS WHEN I NOTICE IT THE MOSTLY.

DRIVING THE JEEP ON THE ROAD AND SUDDENLY IT TURNS OFF AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, BUT BEFORE IT HAPPENS, NOTICE THE VEHICLE JERKS. THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 73 GOING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE. AFTER I TURN OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE KEY OFF AND SITTING THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TURN THE KEY, IT WILL START AND TAKE ME A FEW BLOCKS AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN. HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO STAY ON THE ROAD.

TURNING LIGHTS ON IN THE CAR AND THE DASH LIGHTS FLASH 5 - 6 TIMES THEN GO OUT. DOESN'T MATTER IF VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING WHEN THIS OCCURS.HEADLIGHTS, RADIO & DOME LIGHT STILL WORK AS WELL AS TURN SIGNALS AND 4-WAY FLASHERS. WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON, I DO NOT HAVE ANY RUNNING LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS OR CUP HOLDER LIGHTS. CHECKED ALL FUSES AND ALL CHECKED GOOD. ALL INDICATIONS POINT TO BAD TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS OLD WITH NO AFTER MARKET WIRING. NOT HAVING RUNNING OR TAIL LIGHTS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE/CONCERN.

MY BRAKES MADE A LOUD NOISE AND I DID REPLACE THEM BUT IN RAIN I HAIR LOUD NOISE AGAIN ALSO WHEN I TURN MY WHEEL TO THE LEFT I HEAR A CLUNCK NOISE AT TIMES I ALSO TOOK MY CAR TO GET OIL CHANGE AND A COMPLETE LOOK OVER MY CAR AND I WAS TOLD MY LOWER LEFT ARM CONTROL IS BAD I DONT UNDERSTAND BECAUSE EVERY DEALER AND CAR SERVICE I SPOKE WITH SAID 2015 JEEP OR ANY CAR SHOULDNT HAVE PROBLEM WITH LEFT CONTROL ARM IT IS TO NEW

VEHICLES WIPERS WILL NOT STOP, EVEN IF SWITCH IS SET ON OFF! THEY'RE ON WHEN STARTING VEHICLE AND STILL ON EVEN WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH ON AN INCLINE, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST SAFELY OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HERITAGE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM PARKVILLE (9219 HARFORD RD, PARKVILLE, MD 21234, (866) 492-8843) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

WE OWN A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT, BOUGHT USED IN 2016. IT NOW HAS ABOUT 75,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS SERVED US WELL. THAT IS, UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER. MY HUSBAND HEARD AN ODD SQUEAKING SOUND IN THE REAR, AND TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC (WHO IS SAE CERTIFIED, AND HAS WORKED AS A SERVICE MANAGER FOR BOTH CHRYSLER AND FORD) THINKING THAT MAYBE WE JUST NEEDED MORE BODY CLIPS ON THE BUMPER. AFTER DRIVING IT AROUND THE BLOCK THE MECHANIC THOUGHT IT SOUNDED MORE LIKE WORN SHOCKS, SO THEY PUT IT UP ON THE RACK. GOOD THING WE DIDN'T WAIT MUCH LONGER TO BRING IT IN, BECAUSE THE LEFT REAR AXLE WAS BREAKING LOOSE FROM THE FRAME THE WELDING WAS STILL INTACT, BUT RIGHT BESIDE THE WELDING IS A LARGE BREAK. AND OF COURSE, SEVERAL OTHER PARTS ARE BROKEN AS WELL. NEITHER MY HUSBAND NOR THE MECHANIC SAW ANY SIGNS OF IMPACT ANYWHERE DOWN THERE. THERE WERE NO LARGE DENTS, MARKS, PROTRUDING OR BULGING METAL MEMBERS OF THE VEHICLE'S FRAME, BENT OR CONTORTED AXLE MEMBERS OR TWISTED OR TORN PARTS OF THE CHASSIS. NEITHER DO WE HAVE ANY RECOLLECTION OF RUNNING OVER ANYTHING, OR BEING HIT BY SOMETHING. OUR MECHANIC'S TAKE AWAY WAS THAT THIS WAS A FACTORY ISSUE AND NEEDED TO BE HANDLED BY JEEP. BUT NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE ARE HELPING. THIS SHOULD STILL BE COVERED BY THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. BUT THEY WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE THE ONLY JEEP PATRIOT THAT THIS HAPPENS TO. IF THIS IS INDEED A FACTORY OR MATERIAL DEFECT, THEN SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE THIS HAPPEN AND THEY MIGHT NOT BE SO FORTUNATE AS TO DISCOVER IT BEFORE THE AXLE DOES FALL OFF AND CAUSE INJURY OR FATALITY.

ETC AND ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN RUNNING. LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF THE VEHICLE STALL AND REDUCED PERFORMANCE,AN ELEVATED/ROUGH IDLE AND VEHICLE STALL AND HAVE NO SPEED AND HAVE PULL OVER IN TRAFFIC. THE 2015 ONLY HAVE 3500 MILES SHOULD NOT BE HAVING A SAFETY ISSUE I COULD HAVE GOT RUN OVER BY THE INCOMING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PARKWAY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (21560 HALL RD, CHARTER TWP OF CLINTON, MI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND CRANK SHAFT SENSOR WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000.
