2014 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR HAD A ROUGHY START JUST THREE WEEKS AGO AND I WAS TOLD I HAD A BAD ALTERNATOR MY CAR STOPPED WHEN I WAS DRIVING. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN THREE WEEKS LATER AND I WAS TOLD MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT HAD A BAD THROTTLE BODY AND AGAIN MY VEHICLE STOPPED AS IT WAS IN MOTION IN TRAFFIC. THE FIRST TIME IT STOPPED I WAS ON A CITY STREET THE SECOND TIME I HADN'T EVEN CLEARED MY DRIVEWAY IT STOPPED IN THE STREET AND I WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN I PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP

WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY, SINCE THEN AND GOING FORWARD IT THROWS SAME LIGHTS ON CLUSTER EACH 1/4 MILE!!! MY VEHICLE THROWS A FEW WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER(E.T.C.AKA ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE.) THE VEHICLE STARTS TO SPUTTER AND COMPLETELY COMES TO A STALL. I PULL OVER AS SAFE AS I CAN AND TURN ENGINE OFF THEN BACK ON ONLY TO SEE NO LIGHTS EXCEPT CHECK ENGINE. TRIED TO DRIVE HOME REMAINING SHORT DISTANCE ONLY TO GET SAME LIGHTS THROWN ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THEN SPUTTERS AND STALLS OUT.

THE DRIVER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR CAUSE. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT, NO CAR OR OBJECT HIT THE CAR. WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE I NOTICED THE HEADREST HAD BEEN DEPLOYED. IT WAS POSSIBLE IT HAPPENED OVER NIGHT OR AS THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND PUT IN REVERSE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM ONLINE. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND THIS WILL APPARENTLY COST ME $800 OR MORE TO REPAIR, OR I CAN DRIVE AROUND WITH NO HEAD REST.

BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER HEAD REST BUST OPEN WHILE DRIVING - ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT

THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT (AHR) IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SELF-DEPLOYED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED (ENGINE WAS OFF) IN THE DRIVEWAY -NO COLLISION OR EXTERNAL ACTION INVOLVED. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS UNOCCUPIED WHEN THE AHR WAS ACTIVATED. IT APPEARED THAT TWO PLASTIC TABS POSSIBLY USED TO SECURE THE DEVICE IN POSITION HAD SHEARED OFF. AS A RESULT, THE AHR COULD NOT BE PLACED BACK IN ITS ORIGINAL POSITION.

THE PASSENGER HEAD REST POPPED PUT WHILE BEING PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY. IVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE AND NO RECALLS FOR IT. BUT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PLASTIC PIN BREAKING INSIDE OF THE HEAD REST AND IT DEPLOYING WITH OUT ANY IMPACT. NO ONE WAS SITTING THERE THANKFULLY OTHERWISE THEY WOULDA GOT WHACKED BY IT.
