2016 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

PURCHASED VEHICLE LESS THAN 6 MONTHES AGO AND COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER THAT IT SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE WHEELS WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. 8 DAYS LATER I TOOK IT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THE SHOP REFUSED. HE EXPLAINED THAT WHEN THEY LIFTED THE JEEP AND INSPECTED TIRES THE WIRE TREADS WERE EXPOSED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TIRE, AT ANY MOMENT THE VEHICLE COULD POSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGERS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED TIRE BUT DID NOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES CONTINUALLY MADE A SCREECHING SOUND , FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD OFTEN VEER LEFT WHEN TURNED RIGHT AND THE JEEP KEPT MAKING RUBBING AND POPPING SOUNDS LAST WEEK WHILE TRAVELLING LESS THAN 20 MILES AN HOUR THE CAR MADE A POPPING SOUND , I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL AND IT WAS VEERING TO RIGHT , RUNNING UP ON THE CURB AND THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN MOTION . . WHEN THE JEEP FINALLY STOPPED I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE STEERING WHEEL NOR PUSH IT OUT OF THE STREET. IT HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY. MECHANIC INSPECTED AND ADVISED OF NUMEROUS ISSUES: AXLE BENT, CONTROL ARM , DRIVE SHAFT, SUSPENSION TO MENTION A FEW. THE JEEP HAD 107000 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURED AND IS UNDER WARRANTY. MECHANIC IS REQUESTING WARRANTY APPROVAL TO FIX THE FAILED COMPONENTS AND DAMAGES INCURRED FROM THE FAILURE

MY ROOF IS LEAKING WHEN IT RAINS HARD UNDER THE DOME LIGHT INTO THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD AND IS GETTING INTO THE RADIO/NAVIGATION SYSTEM. ALSO IS LEAKING FROM THE ROOF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD.

THEY RANDOMLY UNBUCKLE! YOU THINK YOU'RE BUCKLED AND YOU MOVE OR ADJUST WHILE DRIVING THEN THEN BAM UNBUCKLED. YOU'RE GOING TO DIE IN A HEAD ON COLLISION.*DT *DT CONSUMER STATED DEFECTIVE SEATBELT WAS REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING AND SITTING VEHICLE EXPERIENCE MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DUE TO SLOW TIPM FAILURE, ENGINE STALLS ETC.*JB

FRONT SEATBELTS WILL JUST UNBUCKLE AFTER YOU'VE BUCKLED. THE JEEP WONT ACCELERATE, IT WONT SHIFT UNTIL 3 1/2 GRAND, BETWEEN 0-40 MPH IT CHUGS & ALMOST DIES, ONCE ABOVE 40 ITS USUALLY FINE. THE DEALER SAYS THINGS ARE FINE. WHAT IS WRONG AND WHY WONT THESE ISSUES COME UP ON DIAGNOSTICS? THE TIRE LOW SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON - EVEN AFTER NEW TIRES & THEY RESET IT. NO WONDER THE WARRANTY LENGTH WAS LOWERED. BRAKES BECAME SQEAKY AROUND 6 MONTHS. ONE OWNER - ME UNFORTUNATELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO YARK AUTO GROUP (6019 CENTRAL AVE, TOLEDO, OH 43615, (419) 877-7712) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OWNER'S MANUAL SUGGESTED TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AND RESTART IT AFTER 8 TO 15 SECONDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, THE MANUAL INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. IF THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR FLASHED, THE OWNER'S MANUAL SUGGESTED TO STOP DRIVING THE VEHICLE. CLOQUET FORD CHRYSLER CENTER (701 WASHINGTON AVE, CLOQUET, MN 55720, (218) 879-4668) WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

THE CAR WOULD HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING AND SLOW DOWN TO A VERY LOW SPEED BEFORE BUCKING AND THRUSTING UNTIL THE SPEED WOULD INCREASE. THE SLOWNESS WAS SLOW ENOUGH ON A HIGHWAY TO ALMOST CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT WAS PURCHASED ON JANUARY 29, 2016. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTHING MORE THEN A DEATH TRAP FOR ME AND A CASH COW FOR THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE HAD MAJOR LIFE OR DEATH PROBLEMS ALMOST WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING OUT AND SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN BUSY INTERSTATE OR OTHER ROADWAYS IN 2017. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO STALLING OUT AND SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY ON JUNE 29, 2019 AFTER I LEFT MY JOB. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION AND I EXPRESSED THE DANGERS AND THE GOVERNMENT HASN'T STOPPED IN TO INTERVENE AS OF TODAY. I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER MANUFACTURER OF THE PROBLEM IN 2017, WHEN MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 50,000 MILES. ONCE AGAIN THERE WASN'T ANYTHING DONE CONCERNING THIS SITUATION. I NOTIFIED THE NHTSA AND THIS ORGANIZATION HASN'T DONE ANYTHING BUT POST MY COMPLAINT ONLINE. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS MATTER BUT CHRYSLER CLAIMED THAT MY VINTAGE NUMBER WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. ALTHOUGH MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT WAS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE OTHER 2016 JEEP PATRIOT, THAT WAS STALLING OUT AND SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS DEATH TRAP OF A VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED WHEN I FIRST INITIALLY FILED THIS COMPLAINT. WELL I GUESS I'LL JUST WATCH AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO LOSE THEIR LIVES BEHIND THESE GARBAGE JEEP PATRIOTS BEFORE THEY RECALL THESE DEATH TRAPS. I WILL DEFINITELY LOOK INTO FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER AND NAME ALL OF THE AGENCIES THAT WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS DEADLY PROBLEM. AND THEY DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING CONCERNING THIS MATTER. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER ONCE AGAIN THIS MORNING. AND I HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED ANOTHER CASE MANAGER AND SO I'LL WAIT ON THIS PHONE CALL AFTER 8:00A.M. TODAY. I CAN PROVIDE ALL DOCUMENTATIONS OF THE COMPLAINTS FILED.

MY JEEP STALLS AND JUST CUT OFF. ONCE I WAS BACKING IN THE GARAGE AND IT JUST CUT OFF. ANOTHER TIME I J CAME OFF THE HIGHWAY SITTING AT A RED LIGHT GETTING READY TO TURN AND IT SHUT OFF.
