Driver side head rest pop open very scary experience!
Wife and daughter was in a 8car accident and none of the airbags went off hit from the back and pushed into other cars and none of airbags went off .both of them went to the hospital and we spent all day in the emergency room.
5 / 6 months back cold day --2 f temp electronic throttle control light came for 2 min and then never came back till this week monday 3 & tuesday 4, 2019 . while i was driving at 55 miles on highway 6 from home to office . certainly engine lost power i was worried can hit other vehicles on the road . i my jeep on 1/3/2015 have only 20217 miles . then yesterday i took my baxter jeep dealer 17950 burt street omaha ne 68118 .. they did cover my repair and parts replacement cost under jeep warranty . they charge my $ 716. 63 baxter replaced cpc 68420395ab t/body -kit & 4884551aa gasket -throttle body $631.31 plus tax total $ 716.63 they charged from me. i feel jeep should be checked for recall and my expenses please be given back to me as soon as possible. as this was not my mistake . its jeep company should make assure this jeep not have this defective again in any other vehicles on the road. every must be safe while driving on the road . i can not take that rick for my life and life other driver while driving . please recall all jeep as of my model . and check these defect free under recall system.
When i was stopping are red light with foot firmly on brake car accelerated on it's own. if i had not pressed brake harder i would have hit the car in front.
Jeep was skipping while driving. it would not accelerate when, it was just move slowly. i brought it to a transmission specialist , he took it out of my car for diagnostic because he claimed he could not determine the problem by driving or computer. charged $840 and stated the transmission could not be repaired it had to be rebuilt. i could not afford the price quoted. they placed the transmission in my trunk.
Many, many times this jeep has overheated while driving up steep grades and all power shuts down the car eventually stops.
My car is not starting. this is the third time this year that i had to bring it in to the dealership. the red bolt goes on last two times and i was on the road driving and it slowed down. this time it won't work. i took it to dealership twice already and it's less than two months apart. third time happening now.
While driving on the interstate my car would not accelerate on 50-60 miles an hour . problem accelerating over 60 miles without a loud noise. the noise rose so loud i thought i had a hole in the exhaust pipe. of corss the dealership does not have any knowedge of whats going on but i see a lot of complaints on the jeep complaint cite. took my care in to a muffler repair shop thinking i had a problem with the exhaust and it turns out there may be something wro g with the transmission. i don't even have 46,000 miles on my car yet. please order a recall on this matter. dangerous on highway. thanks
While driving on the highway in 2014 jeep patriot the bolt light(electronic throttle control) came on and i lost vehicle speed rapidly almost as if it was going to stall out. after a few seconds it seemed fine but now it just blinks on occasion and i lose speed when it comes on. i wont travel on highway anymore until it is fixed. i took vehicle to auto shop and they said i need a new electronic throttle control and this vehicle only has 45,000 miles on it. its dangerous when travelling because you just suddenly lose speed.
Takata recall this is the 2nd time this happened 3 months apart. today i was going 45 mph driving for 3 minutes and my track light, battery light, and engine light came on and i lost pressure in the acceleration and could only move 20 mph. i pulled over to turn my car off and back on, then it worked like nothing was wrong. this also has happened 3 months ago on the bypass going 70 mph and i had children in the car. i thought we were going to die. so we pulled off the road to let it cool down and all the lights went away and ran as if nothing was wrong. very scary.
When driving on highways and city streets the whole dashboard lights up with all the warning symbols. everything in the dashboard including the speedomoter resets to zero lights up and then goes off and on for a couple of miles. it sounds like the car system is trying to click on and off or readjust. i then am not able to accelerate above 40mph when the gas pedal is all the way to the floor while driving on highways, city streets and turning. the traction light is on although i do not manually have it on and sputters when turning on city streets and grinds gears and gets stuck not allowing me to accelerate above 20mph. after receiving a diagnostics from a jeep dealership they said that the above stated issues could be related to the throttle body system. the issues are still occuring after mulptile mechanic checks.
Tamara recall to whom it may concern my 2014 jeep patriot throttle body went out while driving and almost caused a crash i looked up on the jeep forum and their is thousands of people with the same year and make with the same issues alot of them caused recks from throttle body issues, what happen was i was driving on a city street and came to a stop sign and then my etc light and check engeine light came on blinking and then with my foot completly on the break and i just got new breaks done a couple of months ago , my jeep started to rev and the rpms went all the way to the red and my jeep was off bucking and went straight ahead while my foot is still on the break i was completely not in control of my jeep and i was heading right into another vehicle i slammed on my horn and put my hazards on and the other person slammed on their breaks, i was able to coast off the road because it wpuldnt go over 20 mph after that and turn my jeep off and called a tow truck and sent it to the shop , and they called me saying it was throttle control body went out and saying its going to be like 600 dollars to fix. it was the most scariest and dangerous thing i've ever seen happen with vehicles. i called chrysler and they seemed like they understood this has been a promblem and they just did not care the below pictures are just some of the people that went thru the same thing its called jeep forum. thanks for your concern
Throttle body housing failure: while driving to work on an interstate with speed limit of 60mph, vehicle would decelerate from 50mph down to 20mph and would not speed up regardless of how i pressed the gas pedal. the esc, etc, and mil indicators began to flash and the vehicle would not speed above 20-30mph. i had to have the vehicle towed to a local dodge dealer who diagnosed the issue as needing a replacement throttle body housing at a cost of $880 for that repair and replacement of a leaking coolant / radiator hose.
Water leak under dash board,when air conditioner on.
While the vehicle was in drive and in motion, the engine would decelerate and the electronic throttle control and electronic stability control indicators would appear on dash. this happened numerous times and is very dangerous when travelling on the interstate or state highways. checking numerous websites, it appears this is a common problem with jeeps and this issue needs to be addressed with this make/model and manufacturer.
While driving at a low speed or idling at a stop sign the vehicle will shut off without warning. when this happens i must put my car in park, shut the car completely off, then restart, sometimes this happens multiple times in one day. this has happened while on city street, highways, while turning and while stopped, it has become unsafe and unreliable to drive. i am still unaware of what the issue is and have replaced several components on the vehicle that i think could have been linked: battery, throttle body, spark plugs, cam sensors, runner valve, and the catalytic converter. none of these replacements has fixed this issue. there is a recall for this issue with jeep (n52) and when i called to tell them my vehicle is having this issue they just told me they would make a note, and they could not authorize a recall on my vehicle. i asked them if i took it into the jeep dealership to get a diagnostic and they found this to be the issue could they issue they recall then they told me no and it would have to come out of my own expenses.
All sudden the enigine excell . would not stop. causing me to crash though a metal fence. i was backing up into a parking spot..
Car has less than 30k miles. issue has been recurrent since purchasing-- now, its to the point that we are too afraid to drive death trap. car engine dies while driving and vehicle is inoperable. while driving on the highway at approximately 60 mph, the car completely stopped i was barely able to get it over onto the shoulder. check engine and electronic throttle control lights were on. now, the problem occurs more frequently. there's no warning prior to car completely dying. this has happened twice on the highway almost getting us killed. it also occurred while driving down side sides/main roads since we now fear driving on the highway people will be killed by this - if they haven't been so far
Transmission overheat light came on. whining noise from transmission. loss of acceleration on high way.
My 2014 jeep patriot stalls out while driving and the engine light will come on. when on the freeway it will randomly lose acceleration at 60 miles/hr and the power will drop down to 40 causing me to pull over and restart my vehicle. i was stationary at the traffic light and as i began to take off the car would not go over 5 or 10 miles/hr and i would have to immediately restart. once i have restarted my vehicle it will start as if nothing happened. i was almost rear-ended by semi truck on the freeway and several other several times with kids and others family members in my vehicle. this is very hazardous to not only my self, but anyone on the road while i am driving. i have taken my automobile to the shop on several occasions and they are unable to determine the problem especially when they can not duplicate it on demand. i have researched this issue and there are so many complaints regarding this situation and i only pray that someone with a more authority will take a stance and get this problem resolved. meanwhile, i am having to spend unnecessary money on rental cars, while paying a car note. this is unheard of and i am praying that a life will not be lost due to this problem not being resolved! my date below is give or take because i can remember each time this jeep has acted up.
The throttle control light comes on. the engine runs rough and the top speed is 20-25 mph. my jeep has done this 5 times. a rest has worked 3 times and has not these last two times.
This car needs to be investigated! not safe. multiple problems. i bought this car about a month ago. i was driving on highway with my 5 year old son when the car started shaking and clunking uncontrollably. i pulled over thinking i had a flat tire but did not. went to mechanic, where they replaced faulty sway bar and also installed an exhaust spring bolt kit that was never installed to begin with. get the car back to not only have the same issues again along with issues with transmission seeming to slip. i was approaching a red light- again with my son in the car, while breaking- the car jumps rpm and almost ran into car in front of me. also on cruise control the car wouldn't stop rev'n the engine. it was stuck over 4 rpm. i bought this car for safety but it is far from safe. there was an airbag recall but when i purchased the car it was marked as a seat belt recall. i would of steered clear if i knew about airbag but now i know airbag may not work in crash or will deploy randomly even if it was fixed it's not a legit fix due to electrical?! also i believe the recall on 2.4 engines should also be looked into for more possible cars affected. my car follows same problems as those recalled and same engine but mines not recalled. this car clunks in and out of driveways. it feels like it will fall apart. the weather striping is poor allowing water to get in causing moldy smell. the brake lights accumulate water. there seem to be signs of electrical problems however mechanic can't see it. can't charge phone an listen to radio unless you like static! same with aux cord, just stopped working. aside from looking nice- crysler did a terrible job with this particular patriot. poorly built, not worth the money. they rather have people die or get seriously injured before looking into recalling it right? multiple attempts to fix it have been made and car is still in the shop.
Leaks water from out of light in rear hatch area during and after it rains
Driving down the street and the electronic throttle control light came one, the stability control light came on and the check engine light came on. the jeep started shaking and lost power. i pulled over and restarted the car, it started normally but moments later the lights all cam back and the jeep starting shaking. then two days of normal driving and then it happened again. this appears to be a known issue and a recall should be issued. i have researched this and found complaints dating back to 2008.
2014 jeep patriot stalls out on me. traveling at speeds anywhere from 30mph to 55 mph. problem initially started in early 2016. driving at speed of 55 mph, car will start to vibrate, the engine and the etc (electric throttle control) lights will come on and the engine will completely shut off and stall out. the last stalling out while driving occurred 09/07/17. after restarting the vehicle and attempting to merge onto the road after being on the shoulder, the car will lunge forward and again stall out. after 5-7 attempts and nearly being hit each time i try to get on the main road, the patriot will finally get me straight home. this has been an ongoing every 3-4 month occurrence for the past year and a half. i have contacted the jeep dealership where i purchased the vehicle and they tell me they know of no such complaints occurring. this vehicle must be recalled, it is a deathtrap! i am terrified to drive my patriot but seeing as i have no other option for transportation, i have to say a prayer and drive it to my place of employment. the vehicle has stalled out pulling away from my driveway after backing out, turning the corner at the end of my street and while driving it on a straight road at 55 mph and always in motion. next time it does happen, since it always occurs more than once, i will record it and send it to the nhtsa. i've been reading many different message boards across the internet this is a common occurrence. this issue needs to be repaired or vehicles bought back or replaced before someone dies!
Takata recall-the rear latch worked periodically off and on for about a week and now has completely stopped working. to access the back, we have to go over the back seat.
My jeep patriot starting having acceleration issues about a month ago. while driving, it does not matter if i am turning or driving straight, the vehicle feels like it is being cut off from the fuel and gets jerky. now the electronic throttle control warning light will come on and then go out. this happens on city streets doing 25mph or on the highway doing 60mph. i drive my two daughters around and cannot trust this vehicle to be safe. we have tried looking into fixing it and no one can tell us what is wrong. every forum we have gone to tells us that they have filed complaints as well and nothing is being done. i cannot wait for this to completely go out with risk of an accident. some have stated that they have had to tow their vehicle home because it will completely shut off. there is no actual answer to the problem and the parts are a maybe for a fix. which do we fix first? the cheapest or both? also, some of the parts are only factory direct ordering. please look into this major safety concern and get a recall started!! i am getting afraid to drive this vehicle and i can't keep putting money into something that doesn't fix it!! this has been going on for over a month!
Wcm/screem module. car would not start. waited and hour then it started. car is leaving me stranded. i had just turn vehicle of to drop a o package and car would not start. called tow truck and while waiting tired several times. could see i had el ectricity so it was not battery. but started would not crank. after an hour if clicking remote key locks on and off and trying to start vehicle it cranked. read on line this wcm/screem issue, but see no recalls on fixing it. it's a problem if you are not in a safe area and can't start car.
One morning i tried to turn on my vehicle and it would not start. got a friend to come out to try and jump start it and after about 30 min it was successful. two days later i had the same issue. tried to jump the car again with no success. replaced the battery but did not help. all the electrical componemts inside the car (radio,lights,ect) were still functional but engine would not start or even make a sound like it was attempting to start. jeep was towed to a local mechanic and he could not figure out the issue after 1.5 weeks of trying to figure out what was wrong. i then towed it to a jeep dealership and he stated that he didnt know what was wrong with it. he removed the plastic coverings over the engine and stated they are just for looks and dont need to be there and cleaned some wires near the drivers side wheel well and the vehicle was able to start. later while driving my jeep started to act strange. randomly all the lights on the dash board would turn on, the guages went all the way to zero then back up to normal the radio would shut off and turn back on and the car would feel like it was about to stall. later, the same thing happened except this time the lights stayed on engine was still running but could not accelerate my vehicle and power steering went out. i then would have to pull my jeep to the side of the road turn it off let it set for a little then it would start back up fine. this happened about 5 times over the course of a couple weeks. when it wasnt happening and i was driving the jeep around normally the check battery light would always turn on after about 5 to 10 min after drivimg the vehicle. occasionally the check oil light will also turn on. i have still foumd mp solution to these problems amd it continues to happen. it makes it very unsafe to drove especially on the highway and in congested areas due to vehicle randomly not working.
I have a 2014 jeep patriot (high altitude ). i was in my driveway and put my suv in reverse and started to back out. i only made it about 3 feet. suddenly i heard a load bang and felt a blow(hit) to my head and neck. it was really fast and hard. it hit so hard that i thought i was in a wreck or something . my son was freaked out at the noise and thought something hit us too. after looking outside of the car and finding nothing, i noticed the headrest was messed up. apparently the active head restraint deployed. i did some searches online and this is not normal at all. especially while your car is in reverse. this also only happened on the driver seat only.
Was driving on i 95 south and the engine just starter to hesitate and quit for no reason. took car to chrisler dodge dealer and they are saying the engine needs to be replaced and chrisler will not honor the warranty because they said there was no records of oil changes. november 6, 2013 nhtsa campaign number: 13v552000 loss of oil pressure may result in engine stall i asked about this issue that was identified, but they are telling me that the issue had to be speciffically identified to the vin number. but not to worry, chrisler can sell me a new engine for $6,900. they keep saying the parts for nhtsa campaign number: 16v668000 manufacturer chrysler (fca us llc) components seat belts, air bags still are not available. i am sure for $2,000 or so, chrisler may be able to get them case by case. frustrated!
Throttle body replaced twice already
Engine loses power. was going down the road at 55 mph out of no were lost power electrical light,stability control light and check engine light all came on couldn't control the jeep and almost got rear ended by an 18 wheeler. when stopped the jeep surges but will not accelerate. please help .sounds like jeep doesn't want to. it has done this everyday since the 31st of january. several times a day. i've had to park it. it has a loan on it and can't even drive it, and jeep want fix the issues. why does the auto industry have to cause deaths before they fix the vehicles.
Recall in september 2016. not resolved as of may 2017. can not drive with front passengers and safety risk for family. seat belt light on and dings with passengers. main vehicle for family. when will this be resolved?
A remedy for the airbags & seat belts still hasn't been offered. this recall doesn't include the ongoing issues with the brakes or the unwanted acceleration of the vehicle.
Since day 1 of buying my jeep brand new it stalls while i drive. recently it has gotten 100x worse. today i was heading home from out of town and i was driving on the highway when once again my rpm gauge would go down to 0 and my car would jerk. although this time it did it over and over and over again until i finally pulled over and when i did my car completely locked up and stopped..like usual. so i turned my car off and back on and then it was fine again. until 10 minutes later. it began jerking non stop on the highway so i pulled over and was gonna restart my car, but this time it wouldn't turn on. i sat there on the side of the highway panicking for 10 minutes until i could finally get it back on. and yet the next hour was full of non stop jerking and having to pull over. i have taken my car into the dealership around 4 times yet there's no light on so nothing can be found. i happen to look up recently and see there was apparently a recall on this veichle so i took it in again, but when they put my vin there is nothing! this problem with it jerking and stalling has been happening since around december of 2013. i finally have decided to make a report because i am so tired of having to worry about my car dying on me while i'm driving! this veichle is so unsafe and needs to be fixed!!
For the past 2 weeks the red lighting bolt on my 2014 jeep patriot turns on and off, sometimes when the ac is on, and sometimes when i am driving more than 40mph. today, it was different the lighting bolt turned on while driving 20mph with the ac off, it started flashing and then my engine light came on. the engine starting stalling, the car went onto park mode without me switching the gear, then it moved forward and then backwards while on park mode. this is very frightening, especially when i was driving my 15moths, and 9 years old to camp. i took the car to the dealer, and they suggested a tune-up. are you kidding me? the car only has 28,000, i don't think it needs a tune up. now, i am afraid to drive the car, and the dealership does not know what is causing such problem.
Water leaks from the top of the windshield and, if it is raining hard enough, into and out of the overhead lights, which is worrisome because of the electrical factor. we noticed the leakage after going through a car wash 2 days after purchasing our used jeep. we brought it in for repairs and it seem like it was fixed for a couple of weeks until it rained heavily and we noticed water streaming in, yet again. we have also since noticed the floor on the driver's side gets soaked after it rains as well and we don't know where that is coming from. it seems overall that our jeeps sealants are very faulty.
Leaks water from out of headliner in rear hatch area after rain
I purchased this vehicle with 34, 000 miles dec 2015. it ran well until 3000 mi into driving it, some days it would not start. it would take me multiple attempts of turning the ignition......no cranking .....just nothing. so i took it to the dealer i purchased it from and they said it started fine, no problems. well it continued to occur without any notice and i returned to the dealer 5000 mi. later and they said for an xtra $40.00 they could perform a diagnostic test! i explained i felt they should do that at their expense since i only bought the car in dec. they declined and said if i were change my mind they would run a test.....6 months later the car sometimes starts and now its loosing power on hills and highway.....poor pickup....im fedup and ready to sell this vehicle and i have extended warranty on this car that im paying for and cant even depend on it.
First day ,i drove out of dealer,with my new jeep patriot,a rolling noise was coming from my wheels,never in other autos i herd,such a loud bearing noise,as i drive. i thought it was normal,but i had to close my windows,thinking that it will help. as time goes,with 30,000 miles is getting worse!,it sounds like a thous old metal skate boards,with metal rolling wheel bearings. i turned off my engine,i put car in neutral,coast down in a down sloped street,and the laud bearing noise is there. i jack my car up,with my floor jack,put stands,turned wheels by hand ,no bearing noise!.start engine,while in jacks,put in drive,noise and jerk at 25 mph.
My car has stalled completely over a dozen times while driving or even just from being parked and trying to move forward or backward. the first time i took it to the dealer was after i was driving on the freeway and the car completely shut off. i turned on my emergency lights and moved to the left shoulder. thankfully other vehicles realized something was wrong and let me move out of the way. i could've hurt some one else or myself. i was parked for 5 minutes when i tried to start it again but the car was hesitant. i tried again and was able to get out of the freeway safely and it shut off again a few miles from there. i then had it towed to the dealer. they stated that there were no error codes and that the car was okay. now again on oct 8th 2015 it did it again will driving on a city street. after letting it sit i was able to get home and after 20 minutes i drove it to the dealer and it stalled again down the street from the dealer. i had to get it towed in case there were error codes on the software. they've had my car for 4 days and they have already called that there are no error codes. they have had technicians try to duplicate the problem both times but no luck. i refuse to drive the car. i will not put my life or any one else in danger.
After a storm i got into my new 2014 jeep patriot which only has 8,000 miles on it and i noticed that my dome light above the cd player in the headliner was completely full of water. i was unable to take it out so i had to drive home like that and everytime i went around a curve water gushed out of my dome light all over me and my dash and cd player. then another day it was raining and i was driving the jeep and water droplets kept falling from the headliner/light area. i took it to the dealership and they have had to take the headliner down and work on it for over 2 weeks to fix the problem.
A light comes on and the car starts slowing down so you must pull over until the light goes out, but it happens again and again. it is so dangerous to be stuck on the side of the road or in the middle of an intersection. the dealership has had the car many times and said there is nothing they can do even though i have a lifetime warranty. it is like owning a golf cart. there are many people on the internet with the same issue. it should be a recall!
Our seat belt light started to mess up in june 2015, we took it to the service department and after they tried two switches i was told that it could not be fixed and that all 2014 jeep patriots do this! if you pull the seat belt out an inch from home position the light goes off, when you actually have it clicked it will still beep at you telling you that your not wearing your seat belt! we have only had this jeep since feb. 2014 and purchased it brand new! it will not pass inspection on base, so technically we are not even suppose to be driving this unsafe jeep that can't be fixed! all 2014 jeep patriots do not do this, i know a couple of people who purchased a jeep patriot within a month or two from my purchase. now the seat belt light will stay off even without me wearing my seat belt! i have tried contacting isg, nhtsa, chrysler service and cannot reach anyone about my safety issue!
Purchased vehicle, drove home and noticed that when i disengage the clutch a loud whining noise appears and i made an appointment at the dealership for a week out and it has gradually gotten worse while driving. *tr
We were driving north and came upon an intersection where we put our turn signal on, and slowed down and stopped, about to turn west. the light turned red, and we slowly drove west onto the crossing street. another vehicle that was driving south proceeded through the red light, at about 45 mph, and hit the 2014 jeep patriot broadside, passenger side. the jeep was pushed and spun 90 degrees from the impact of the collision, we were tossed around violently in our seats, with the passenger obtaining contusions and abrasions to her arm closest to the impact site. she had also banged her head against the window and strained her neck from the impact, on the passengers side of the jeep. and finally, had strained the muscles in her lower back from getting thrust at the direction of the impact site. the driver had suffered an impact abrasion to his left arm, leaving an imprint of the seat belt material into his skin. he had also suffered muscle strains and lower back strains from the force of the impact. again, while being hit from a vehicle going 45 mph, and leaving damage that had literally started to fold the vehicle at the midpoint, and collapsed the wheel and axle, not a single airbag had deployed in this vehicle. if the vehicle that had collided with this jeep had been driving near 65 mph, death would have been almost certain...updated 10/06/14 *bf updated 3/25/2015 *js
