We have classified the 3 complaints from 2011 Jeep Patriot about TIRES into the following categories.
When the weather turned cold the tire sensor light came on. i asked at the dealership about it and they said it is so cold out that you lose a bit of pressure and once the weather turns warm the light will turn off. the weather is now in the 50-60 degree range and i just had an oil change with tire pressure checked and the light is still on. i do not want to pay a lot of money to get this fixed because now i think it is a bad sensor. this is very dangerous because if i ignore it and there is a real problem i could get into an accident because of low tire pressure which could result in severe injury or death and that would follow a major lawsuit because we have been dealing with this problem for a few months now and i notice that others have experienced this same problem. please a recall for this problem before someone gets injured. *tr
My 2011 jeep patriot came with firestone affinity tires, and after only two years and fourteen thousand miles the tires have developed cracks all along the seam where the tread attaches to the tire casing. it looks as though the tread is starting to pull away from the tire. *tr
In 2012 we had a nail through the tire of the 2011 jeep patriot that we bought new. when we took the car to tires plus to have the tire replaced. we were told that they couldn't legally replace just one tire. the tread wear was so awful; uneven, different tread variances, they couldn't match one used tire. how would they pick what tire to match it up too. we ended up with 4 new tires, we were also told at the time the uneven tread was doing damage to shocks and struts. a year later we took it in for new break pads and rotation, again, even with these "new" tires we were told tread was so uneven, it would be loud, be careful, excreta. i took the jeep into a jeep dealership for a recall 10/2013 "n01 recall" since i had in there i also opted to get transmission service/filter, they too talked to me about my tire wear. 11/2013ish my husband, stationed in hi purchases a new jeep as well. now we are stuck with two of these...2/2014 i find out the vehicle he purchase (not his, but others with same yr/make/model are already being recalled. then my transmission goes out! a jeep, we have just owned, higher miles all from hwy 94 from my husband compute when he lived in wi to fortmccoy...straight shot...65mh the whole way. in addition they fix sway bar link, arm control and tell me noise that still exists could be wheel bearing, my alignment was so off, they kept it an extra day. so i'm 5k into my vehicle i owed 3 years, the wheel bearing, alignment, sway bar, arm control, shocks, struts all i believe to whatever (i wish i new) was causing the uneven tread wear. there is something wrong! transmission different issue...or is it? i have been told as mentioned above they couldn't "legally" replace just one tire...then how for the last three years can jeep legally let me drive my 4 kids in a vehicle that has obvious problems. yes, i've called dealership, home office and bbb. *tr

Continued failure of tire pressure monitoring system in 2011 jeep patriot latitude 4x4. our brand new 2011 jeep patriot latitude 4x4 has experienced continued failure of the tire pressure monitoring system. on four separate occasions it the tpms light has activated indicating a low time pressure issue in the tires. each time the tire pressure is checked and determined to be correct. we have now taken this jeep to our local dealer, sport durst chrysler dodge jeep, on three separate occasions for this issue. the most recent time we were told that the tpms was set to the incorrect pressure and was set correctly. despite this, the tpms light has come on once again. i believe that this is an important safety issue as a malfunctioning tpms will result in jeep owners ignoring the light. this could result in complacency when there could, in fact, be a real tire pressure problem that requires attention. *tr
