2015 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

"TAKATA RECALL" ON FEBRUARY 27, 2016, MY CAR, JEEP PATRIOT, THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING WAS CRASHED AND DEMOLISHED BY ANOTHER DRIVER'S CAR, WHILE MY FIANCE WAS DRIVING IT ON AN UNMARKED CITY STREET INTERSECTION, AND SHE WAS HURT, BECAUSE, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

TWICE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND I MAINTAIN CHRYSLER SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE, AND OWES ME ANOTHER VEHICLE, THAT WILL DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS IN THE EVENT I AM DRIVING, AND ANOTHER DRIVER HITS ME. THE SECOND CRASH OF THE TWO(2)DEMOLISHED MY JEEP PATRIOT. MY JEEP WAS STRUCK AT THE LEFT WHEEL, AND A PORTION OF THE DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN, MY JEEP WAS STRUCK THE FIRST TIME, THE REPAIR PERSON, STATED, IT WAS STRANGE, THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND A SIMILAR STATEMENT WAS MADE BY THE INVESTIGATOR, FOR THE AT FAULT DRIVER'S INSURANCE COMPANY, THAT, HE WONDERED; WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, WHEN MY JEEP PATRIOT WAS CRASHED, AND DEMOLISHED.

I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE REQUIRED PART IN AND THAT I WOULD BE PLACED ON A CALLBACK LIST. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT IF THE DEALER HAS NOT REMEDIED THIS ISSUE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME THAT I HAD THE OPTION TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT. I AM NOT SURE WHAT CONSTITUTES AS A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. BUT, IF MY VEHICLE COULD POSSIBLY CATCH ON FIRE IF IT IS AFFECTED, I FEEL THIS IS AN URGENT MATTER THAT SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON HOLD.

HAD TO GET TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 15000 MILES DUE TO A NOISE AND CHRYSLER NOT KNOWING WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. WAS RUNNING OUT OF TRANNY FLUID 3 TIMES IN ONE MONTH. WITH NO LEAK FOUND. NOW I AM HEARING THAT NOISE AGAIN. STEERING IS VERY SENSITIVE AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE, ESPECIALLY GOING AROUND A LEFT HAND CORNER ON THE HIGHWAY. MOTOR MOUNT WAS LOOSE AT 16000 MILES , WAS FIXED, BUT WHY WAS IT LOOSE? STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BADLY WHEN GOING OVER 65 MPH ON FREEWAY. E BRAKE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IF IT IS PULLED AND I AM ON A HILL AND IT IS IN NEUTRAL OR THE CLUTCH IS PRESSED IN IT WILL ROLL... (DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT WORKS AND ALSO, THEY CANNOT ADJUST IT ANYMORE) WHY?.. MY WINDSHIELD WPIERS ARE STALLING, MORE AND MORE OFTEN THEY WONT TURN ON UNTIL I TURN THEM ON AS FAST AS THEY WILL GO AND THEN TURN THEM DOWN AFTER THAT. I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND TRYING TO GET CHRYSLER TO BUY BACK BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT RELIABLE OR SAFE, BUT MY CASE MAANGER AND HER SUPERVISOR ARE RIDICULOUSLY HARD TO GET A HOLD OF AND DONT REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS.. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HAS TREATED ME TERRIBLY AND HASN'T GIVEN ME GOOD SERVICE IN THE SLIGHTEST. ONE OF THE SALESMAN CUSSED AT ME. AND THEY WON'T FIX MY ISSUES WITH THE CAR, AND THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME "TO JUST TOTAL IT" TO GET RID OF IT, INSTEAD OF HELPING ME AND MAKING IT RIGHT. I AM VERY STRESSED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 MONTHS NOW... AND I NEED A RELIABLE CAR.
