2014 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

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 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 ISSUE. THE CONTACT SPOKE TO A DEALER THAT INFORMED THAR THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE BUT THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT HER ONCE THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE BRAKING AT 35 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO TIGHTEN AND RESTRAIN THE OCCUPANTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 900. VIN TOOL CONFIRMED PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE IT BANG TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND BUCKED AS I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE IT FORWARD. THE CAR HAS FEWER THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED PER THE DEALERS DIAGNOSTICS. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND, FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, IS A COMMON ISSUE. I HOPE THIS RESULTS IN A RECALL AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS HAD IT HAPPENED ONCE I WAS TRAVELING.

RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY STILL NOT YET AVAILABLE.HE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS DUE TO A SHORTING CONDITION RESULTING IN A NEGATIVE VOLTAGE TRANSIENT THAT TRAVELS TO THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER VIA THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WIRES.

UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR REPAIR PARTS (8 MONTHS SO FAR) AND REFUSAL TO PROVIDE LOANER OR RENTAL VEHICLE.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER 2016 BUT WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE "REPAIR PARTS NOT AVAILABLE." NOW, 8 MONTHS LATER, PARTS ARE STILL "UNAVAILABLE" AND I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE WHOSE AIRBAG AND/OR SEAT BELTS MAY NOT WORK IN AN ACCIDENT, CAUSING MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS SERIOUS INJURY. HOW CAN THIS POSSIBLY BE PERMITTED?

YESTERDAY AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND DRIVING WAS VERY JERKY. TODAY ON THE FREEWAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WAS FLASHING AGAIN. LUCKILY, SAFE MODE DIDN'T KICK ON UNTIL AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY AS I WAS ONLY ABLE TO ACCELLERATE TO 20 MPH THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO BE SHIFTING HARD WHEN TRYING TO GET UP TO SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY . ALSO, WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A STOP, IT'S CHUGGING AND JERKING. IT IS THROWING ERROR CODES $07E8 AND $07E9.

MY JEEP OVERHEATS REGULARLY, NO TOWING JUST REGULAR COLORADO HWY DRIVING, MAKES HIGH PITCHED WHINING SOUNDS, AND LOSES POWER. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO GO OFF, RESUME DRIVING, AND PULL OVER AGAIN WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON. OVER AND OVER THIS HAPPENS. DEALERSHIP SAYS NO ERROR CODE ON THE ENGINE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

UPON ENTERING A MAJOR HIGH WAY SYSTEM, THE ENGINE ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, REGARDLESS OF THE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL. IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING RESISTING THE ACCELERATION. THERE I AM IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 6 LANE BRIDGE WITH FREE WAY TRAFFIC GOING 60MPH AND I AM DECELERATING (EVEN WITH ADEQUATE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS) WHEN COMES ELECTRICAL THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE GUY DRIVING THE TOW TRUCK SAID I WAS HIS 4TH JEEP TODAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND AMONG MANY THIS MONTH.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS MADE IN 2014. HERE IT IS 2017 AND THERE STILL IS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL. WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG? RECALL S61/ NHTSA 16V-668. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS LONG TO CORRECT A SAFETY ISSUE.
