2015 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A MANUFACTURER RECALL FOR AIR BAGS BUT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE PARTS MAY BE SUPPLIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SUPPLY THE PARTS AND REMEDY. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

OUR VEHICLE IS AT 56,000 MILES. IT IS A STANDARD VEHICLE. THE CLUTCH WORE OUT. SO WE GOT IT FIXED. IT WENT 600 MILES AND WORE OUT AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25-35 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RESTRAIN THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST SORENESS AND STIFFNESS, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER BY AAA. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. CHRYSLER STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS NOT TRIGGERED AND DID NOT ADDRESS THE INQUIRY ABOUT THE SEAT BELT NOT WORKING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, WATER ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V878000 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

A CAR REAR ENDED US ON THE FREEWAY. WE WERE GOING 70MPH AND THEY AVERAGED 20MPH FASTER. WHEN THE STRUCK MY REAR END IT PROPELLED US, ACROSS 2 LANES, INTO THE SIDE OF A TRACTOR TRAILOR. WE BOUNCED OFF THE TRAILERS WHEELS AND ENDED UP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. IF IT WASN'T FOR THE STABILITY AND STURDINESS OF THE CAR WE WOULD SURELY BE DEAD. I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT UNTIL LATER.........NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED!! THE REAR IMPACT HEAD REST ENGAGED. I JUST FIGURED HITTING THE ENTIRE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR (WITH BOTH OF THE TRAILER TIRES INDENTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE) AT MINIMUM SPEED OF 70MPH, THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. NOT REALLY COMPLAINING. BUT MAYBE SOMETHING TO LOOK INTO. THE JEEP WAS REPAIRED AND IM STILL IN LOVE WITH IT. I'M NOT UPLOADING PHOTOS. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, I HAVE PHOTOS AND ALL DOCUMENTATION, JUST EMAIL ME.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TROUBLE STARTING THE JEEP. IT APPEARS TO HAVE POWER BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR WON'T START. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ACCURATELY DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE NOW GETTING WORSE. THE JEEP HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER WHILE RUNNING AND I'VE HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH UNLOCKING THE DOOR. THE THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING HAS STARTING COMING IN DURING SOME OF THESE EPISODES. DESPITE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AND DIRECTLY THROUGH CHRYSLER, I STILL HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE MADE THE ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING WELL KNOWN. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE COMPLETELY RESOLVED. I'M SHOCKED THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER WOULD ALLOW SUCH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD.

THE ENGINE SHUT OFF TWICE WITHOUT WARNING WHILE WE WERE ON THE FREEWAY. THE SECOND TIME THE ENGINE STALLED WAS 4 DAYS AFTER WE PICKED THE CAR UP FROM HUNTER JEEP SERVICE DEPT, WHO TOLD US THE ISSUE WAS REPAIRED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE NOW.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE CAR HESITATED, LOST SPEED, AND THEN CUT OFF (LOST COMPRESSION) WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT NEVER CAME ON (BEFOREHAND) TO ALERT THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINE PROBLEM. THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE LOSES AIR (CONSTANTLY) AND I'VE HAD TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE (SINCE PURCHASE DATE 3/13/15) EVERY OTHER WEEK AND THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS INSISTING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. ON RAINY DAYS, WATER ENTERED FROM THE GASKET INTO THE REAR CENTER OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE DAMAGED THE ROOF LINER AND INTERIOR LIGHTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEAK WAS EMITTING FROM THE ANTENNA. THE ANTENNA WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GASKET WAS LEAKING. THE GASKET WAS REPAIRED WITH A SEALANT, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AGAIN THAT THE GASKET WAS LEAKING AND IT WAS RESEALED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

THERE IS A LEAK IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP 6 DIFFERENT TIMES TO BE FIXED. IT IS SITTING IN BODY SHOP TRYING TO GET FIXED AGAIN. I AM VERY UPSET AT THE WAY THIS IS BEING HANDLED. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT MY ISSUES ON THIS VEHICLE.
