2015 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

MY CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD AND MY BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES IN ADDITION TO NEW GETTING NEW ROTORS. PROBLEMS STARTED OCCURRING WHEN I ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND WHENEVER I BRAKE, IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL GRINDING ON METAL. NEITHER MY DEALERSHIP NOR JEEP THEMSELVES HAVE A REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR. IN ADDITION, MY CAR HAS ALSO HAD PROBLEMS STARTING. WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS, I HAVE HAD TWO INSTANCES OF TRYING TO TURN MY CAR ON AND THE BATTERY CAME ON, BUT THE CAR DID NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO TURN-OVER. IT TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO ACTUALLY GET IT STARTED. BEFORE NOW, MY CAR HAS HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE IT TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO TURN OVER, WHICH IT EVENTUALLY DID COME ON, BUT IT WAS STRUGGLING AND I COULD TELL IT WAS VERY WEAK.

SECOND TIME VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. FIRST TIME 5/8/17. DEALER REPROGRAMMED PCM,TCM,CCN,AND WCM. 77 MILES LATER SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. BOTH TIMES THREE YEAR OLD IN VEHICLE. NO PRIOR WARNING. NO WARNING LIGHTS,NOISE ECT. VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. BACK TO DEALER TOMORROW. LUCKY GOING AT SLOW SPEED ON SECONDARY ROADS AT BOTH TIMES.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH THE JEEP STALLED. I ALMOST GOT REARENDED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT DID START AGAIN. AGAIN IT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET AT 35 MPH. THE JEEP STALLED. IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE REVERSING, AN ABNORMAL SQUEAKING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFUSED TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,367.

MY BRAKES MAKE A LOUD SOUND WHEN I'M MAKING A STOP. I HAVE A FULL WARRANTY ON MY BRAKES AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE. WHAT I WAS ADVISED IS THAT SOUND IS NORMAL AND THAT ALL JEEP PATRIOTS MAKES THAT SOUND. WELL I HAVE NOT HEARD THAT SOUND FROM ANOTHER JEEP BUT NOT SURE IF THERE IS A DEFECT.

I PULLED TO THE SIDE TO ALLOW AN AMBULANCE TO PASS AFTER IT DID I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE SO I COULD GET BACK UP TO 50 MPH SPEED LIMIT, I HAD TO BREAK AFTER BEING CUT OFF. WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE IT BEGAN TO DECCELERATE THEN THE ENGINED STALLED I PUT MY HAZARDS PULLED TO THE SIDE. AFTER RESTARTING IT I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITH MY CAR IN AUTO STICK. WHEN LEAVING A RESTURANT THAT NIGHT I HADN'T EVEN MADE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO STALL AND THE BREAKS LOCKED UP. I HAD TO RESTART MY VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME IN AUTO STICK. I DIDN'T DRIVE MY VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP 4/10/17 WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUES. 4/12/17 IT STALLED WHEN I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES IT BEGAN TO FUNCTION AFTER I RESTARTED IT. 4/10/17 I HAD THE AIR FILTER CHANGED AND THE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED. AFTER THAT I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL 4/17/17 WHEN AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD FOR 5 MINUTES I BEGAN TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY ONLY TO HAVE MY CAR DO THE SAME DECELERATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THEN STALLING ALTOGETHER. WHEN TRYING TO START MY CAR IT WOULD ONLY SPUTTER I WAITED 15 MINUTES THEN WAS ABLE TO START IT BUT ONLY THE CARS SYSTEMS WOULD COME ON NOT THE ENGINE. I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE WAITED ANOTHER 15 MINS AND IT STARTED I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO MY NEAREST CARMAX LOCATION THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR ONE DAY AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUES EITHER.

WATER LEAKING IN THROUGH INTERIOR LIGHTS. MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A SUNROOF AND WATER IS DRIPPING FROM THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEAR THE TAILGATE. AFTER A RAIN SHOWERS IN VANCOUVER, WA I ENTERED THE BACK HATCH OF MY CAR TO STORE MY WORK GEAR BEFORE I LEFT WORK AND THERE ON THE TIRE COVER IS A PUDDLE OF WATER. I LOOKED UP AND THE ASSEMBLY AS WELL AS THE SURROUNDING HEADLINER ARE SOAKED. WHILE TURNING WATER COMES OUT IN A NICE SOLID STREAM AND LANDS ON MY CLOTHES AND OTHER PERSONAL ITEMS. A LITTLE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH FCA VEHICLES SINCE 2007. THIS WATER LEAK CAUSES INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL SHORTS.
