2014 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED STEPHEN WADE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (1724 S. HILTON DR., ST GEORGES, UT 84770) AND CEDAR CITY MOTOR COMPANY AT (435) 586-9435 (1010 N MAIN ST, CEDAR CITY, UT 84721) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

LESLIE, A SERVICE ADVISOR AT ABSHER ARNOLD MOTORS LOCATED IN MARION, ILLINOIS REFUSED TO PERFORM A SAFETY RECALL REPAIR ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. SHE STATED THEY COULD NOT GET THE PART AND THAT THE PART WAS BEING 'RATIONED OUT.' THIS WENT ON OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT THREE WEEKS. UPON CONTACTING ANOTHER AREA DEALERSHIP (WEEKS IN WEST FRANKFORT) THEY HAD THE PART IN TWO DAYS AND PERFORMED THE RECALL REPAIR THE NEXT DAY. I FEEL THIS MATTER SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO SO THAT OTHERS AREN'T PROVIDED WITH THIS TYPE OF SERVICE AND FALSE INFORMATION. THANK YOU.

WHILE PARKED AND IDLING, ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS STARTED MALFUNCTIONING - INDICATOR LIGHTS, WIPERS, BRAKE BOOSTER, RADIO - ALL TURNED ON WITH OR WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. SMOKE BEGAN TO POUR FROM THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, WHICH THEN BRIEFLY STARED ON FIRE. ONLY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY ALLOWED THE MODULE TO COOL DOWN AND STOP SMOKING.

BRAKES NEEDED REPLACED LEFT SIDE ONLY AT 30,000 MILES,1ROTOR AND PADS,RIGHT SIDE VERY GOOD CONDITION

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 10/13/16. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I WENT AROUND A TURN IT SEEMED LIKE MY BRAKES WERE LOCKING UP OR SOMETHING, I STARTED SWERVING AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY AND I EVENTUALLY LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND ENDED UP ROLLING THE VEHICLE TWICE BEFORE LANDING DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. MY CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I ESTIMATE THAT I WAS GOING AT A RATE OF AROUND 45-50 MILES PER HOUR. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. AT A HIGH SPEED IMPACT THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF. I SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES, AND I STILL HAVE PAIN IN BOTH MY KNEES.

THERE IS RECALL TO REPLACE THE OCCUPANT RESTRAIN CONTROLLER ON MY CAR HOWEVER WHEN I CALL THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND GET IT REPLACED I WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER HAS PUT A HOLD ON THE MEASURE AS A SOLUTION BECAUSE REPLACING THE PART MAY DO MORE DAMAGE THAN IT ALREADY DOES AND THAT FOR NOW THEY WERE JUST TAKING NAMES DOWN AND WILL CALL BACK ONCE THE COMPANY HAS A BETTER SOLUTION. I HOWEVER HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THAT PRESSURE TO HOLD THE SEAT BELT IN DOES NOT STAY AND TENSIONER OPENS RANDOMLY.

MY JEEP KEEPS STALLING AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE JEEP WAS BEING DRIVEN WHEN THIS HAPPENS.AND STOPPED.

2014 JEEP PATRIOT STALLS OUT ON ME. TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 30MPH TO 55 MPH. PROBLEM INITIALLY STARTED IN EARLY 2016. DRIVING AT SPEED OF 55 MPH, CAR WILL START TO VIBRATE, THE ENGINE AND THE ETC (ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL) LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE ENGINE WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND STALL OUT. THE LAST STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING OCCURRED 09/07/17. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE ROAD AFTER BEING ON THE SHOULDER, THE CAR WILL LUNGE FORWARD AND AGAIN STALL OUT. AFTER 5-7 ATTEMPTS AND NEARLY BEING HIT EACH TIME I TRY TO GET ON THE MAIN ROAD, THE PATRIOT WILL FINALLY GET ME STRAIGHT HOME. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING EVERY 3-4 MONTH OCCURRENCE FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY TELL ME THEY KNOW OF NO SUCH COMPLAINTS OCCURRING. THIS VEHICLE MUST BE RECALLED, IT IS A DEATHTRAP! I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY PATRIOT BUT SEEING AS I HAVE NO OTHER OPTION FOR TRANSPORTATION, I HAVE TO SAY A PRAYER AND DRIVE IT TO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT PULLING AWAY FROM MY DRIVEWAY AFTER BACKING OUT, TURNING THE CORNER AT THE END OF MY STREET AND WHILE DRIVING IT ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AT 55 MPH AND ALWAYS IN MOTION. NEXT TIME IT DOES HAPPEN, SINCE IT ALWAYS OCCURS MORE THAN ONCE, I WILL RECORD IT AND SEND IT TO THE NHTSA. I'VE BEEN READING MANY DIFFERENT MESSAGE BOARDS ACROSS THE INTERNET THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR VEHICLES BOUGHT BACK OR REPLACED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. MC HUGH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (3420 MAPLE AVE, ZANESVILLE, OH 43701, (740) 453-0663) WAS CONTACTED, BUT WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE DUE TO PARTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ONE, THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING AND LOST POWER. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR, IT STARTED NORMALLY BUT MOMENTS LATER THE LIGHTS ALL CAM BACK AND THE JEEP STARTING SHAKING. THEN TWO DAYS OF NORMAL DRIVING AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND COMPLAINTS DATING BACK TO 2008.
