Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep patriot. while driving at an unknown speed in heavy traffic, the vehicle lost power. the electronic throttle control and electronic stability control indicators illuminated. the vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road, turned off, and restarted. the vehicle was taken to leith chrysler dodge jeep ram aberdeen (910-944-7115, located at 11049 us-15, aberdeen, nc 28315) where the contact was informed that there was no recall for the failure. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v668000 (seat belts, air bags). the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Was never properly notified about the recall. it was posted sept. 13, 2016. it is now sept. 16, 2018

Both the driver and passenger side active head restraints (ahr) were triggered in july 2018 without my car suffering an impact. in both cases, the car was parked like usual at my house overnight and i found the headrests triggered in the morning. i have not been involved in any accidents, there is no impact damage, and the car was not in motion when they triggered. i was unable to reset them per the manual, so i brought it to my jeep dealership on august 8th and my service rep said he had absolutely no idea what was wrong. he later called to quote me about $1,400 to replace both headrests and he told me i would probably want to skip replacing them; to keep them as-is to avoid the costs. at no time was it explained to me that this was a safety feature with a broken piece. when i searched online for replacement headrests, i was able to learn that this is a safety feature that malfunctioned and has affected other drivers. this malfunction poses a risk to drivers if it happens while the car is in motion (i was lucky). a small piece in the headrest is also breaking, preventing the restraints from being reset and costing owners the high price of replacing the headrests. i, like many, am no longer covered under warranty for this large cost, which should be covered by jeep given its seriousness and frequency. this is a safety concern that needs to be addressed. my biggest concern is that my jeep dealership actually suggested that i keep my headrests as they are, allowing me to continue driving with this safety restraint activated, which can do more harm should i be in an accident. they also failed to explain or properly educate me about the ahr's and the reason they could not be reset. their omission of these facts coupled with the safety concerns regarding this safety feature malfunction can put other drivers at risk.

Safety headrest failure. ahr (active headrest restraint) failure. was driving at 25mph, passenger headrest exploded causing loud noise and distracted my driving. pulled over to inspect my vehicle and found the passenger headrest was deployed. this is a safety feature that is intended to engage during a collision. i was never involved in a collision in this vehicle. jeep has been contacted regarding this issue with little resolution. vehicle has less than 40,000 miles, basic safety equipment should not be failing at this point.

My headrest deployed without experiencing collision. the headrest is to deploy in a front or rear collision. my headrest deployed as i was driving. the pieces inside the headrest are broken and have been deemed a defective piece by my local dealer.

Takata recall i took my 2014 jeep patriot into my local jeep dealer for repair of the s61 takata airbag recall. while the vehicle was in the shop being repaired, the service manager informed me the newly installed part malfunctioned and thought the car had rolled over, and deployed all airbags in the car. this destroyed the interior of the car, including the roof, seats, front console, steering wheel, and seat belts. the manager mentioned they would fix the damage. however, the car was submitted for the repair on april 12, 2018, and as of may 14, 2018 they have not removed the old airbags, or installed any new airbags. this is a serious safety concern. if the newly installed part used to fix the recall had malfunctioned while the vehicle was in use, it could have been a fatal accident. there is no way to tell if and when the part was going to malfunction. i now have my concerns regarding the safety of this vehicle, the reliability of the recalled part, and the safety of any newly installed takata airbags. there is professional negligence on the part of the jeep service center for not repairing their error for greater than 5 weeks after the damaged occurred, for reducing the value of my car, and for using faulty equipment in their repair. there is also professional negligence on the part of the takata airbag company for providing a faulty airbag and faulty repair part for the s61 recall. this negligence could have been fatal.

On the morning of 4/1/18 i was involved in a car accident when my car lost control and hit a tree going between 20-30mph. it was a head on collision where my air bags did not deploy and my seat belt did not tense during or after the collision. as such, i received a large laceration to my forehead when it hit the steering wheel. the accident occurred when i was making a slight left through an intersection near a residential area and the road was slick from a slight rain that was happening. i had skidded out through the intersection and before i knew what was happening i was colliding with the tree in front of me. there were no other parties involved.

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.

I received this recall notice in late oct/nov 2016. the day i received it, i called the number listed and was put on a waiting list to let me know when the part was available. i received another recall notice the week of 8/21/17 for the exact same reason. i called my jeep dealership and told them about the recall notice a scheduled an appointment. this morning i go to drop off my jeep and they tell me that they do not have the part and that they would put me on a list. this recall is just shy of a year old now. i feel that this should have been fixed by now. no one has ever called me about this part becoming available.

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.

I have taken the jeep back to the dealer 3 time to have the recall repaired. each time i was told there is no salutation to the recall as of yet. i think they should replace this jeep with an up graded jeep as soon as possible or buy it back. the set belt become lock and chokes you going down the road and you have to release the belt and re set it so you are not being choked.

Takata recall i bought the jeep patriot 2014 from a dealer on 7/17/2017. i was never told that there was a recall on the vehicle for a potentially fatal flaw in the airbags. i had no idea this vehicle had a recall until i received a notice in the mail last week. i have contacted my mechanic for repairs and they have ordered the parts. my concern is that they knowingly sold me a defective vehicle. this should be a criminal act and it would be if i am injured or killed driving it until repairs can be made.

Received a recall notice about faulty airbag/seatbelt pretensioner. dealership says they have no fix yet but it's a big deal to me because this affects safety devices and potentially my family's safety. i had to hard brake the other day and my son's seat belt didn't lock and he fell over in his booster seat

In september of 2016 jeep discovered a serious, possibly fatal risk potential associated with a sensor involved in restraining seat belts and deploying air bags "under certain impact conditions". as an owner, i was not apprised of this risk until june 20, 2017. then, when i inquired about the availability of a repair to correct this lemon i was "informed", "advised" there was no repair available and such repair(s) may not be available for six months. i was given a vague estimate, and vague "assurance" i would be apprised of repair availability when ready. i asked, "should i bee driving this flaw?" they had no specific guidance. seriously? accordinfly, i am invoking "lemon law" and demanding full liquidation of my existing auto loan at jeep's expense. if they do not oblige, i shall seek civil suit damages by jury trial for added emotional pain and suffering coupled with their failure to fully-disclose potential fatal flaw for over six months to jeep owners. i expect the nhtsa to manage this claim. period. what a mess. what country is this? is anyone watching and protecting consumers? i expect the nhtsa to force jeep to immediately undertake a full buyback program no later than july 1, 2017. period.

Someone in a 3/4 ton work van ran through a stop light and plowed in to the right passenger front / side of my jeep while i was making a left hand turn we were on the city streets.. the impact was so great that while making the left turn and being hit so hard my wife and i went through a pizza shop head on. none of the 8 air bags in my jeep went off. there is a recall for the jeeps air bags for which i did get a hold of the dealership and they told me that the recall is still open and no they do not have a fix at this time. now reading the jeeps factory user guide the air bags should have gone off. the jeep does have seat-mounted side air bags and from reading the factory user guide it states that this vehicle may be equipped with supplemental seat-mounted side air bags to provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact. if the air bags would have gone off my wife wouldn't have got so hurt. she now has a right cervical strain, lumbar contusion, and a right clavicle fracture. also with the head on collision into the building the front air bags should have gone off they did not.

I received a recall letter over 2 months ago and still there are no updates on when they will be fixing the problem. why is an airbag and seatbelt issue taking so long to take care of. this is a safety issue.

There is no remedy to this recall and its rediculous. we are forced to drive a vehicle that is not safe. we cant even trade it in because the dealership wont take it. also our bodily injury insurance for this jeep is five times what it used to cost. we financed this jeep, it is unbelieveable that we have to drive a vehicle that could potentionally hurt us worse if we were in a crash. something needs to done immediately.
