Problems with 2014 Jeep Patriot SEAT BELTS

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.

The housing that holds the seatbelt to the side of the front driver's side seat has come loose. there appears to be a bolt missing and some plastic has broken off. this is causing the housing to not be secured to the seat.

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep patriot. while driving 25 mph at night, the rear passenger seat belt malfunctioned. upon coming to a complete stop, the seat belt gradually tightened around the child. the contact made multiple attempts to loosen the seat belt and had to cut it to remove the child from the restraint system. a dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 72,872.

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.

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.

Important safety recall s61/nhtsa 16v-668 notice was received from fca on 11/15/2016. as of 6/16/2017, the recall status is: incomplete but repair parts are not available. it does not seem reasonable that an important safety defect has gone so long without a fix by the company. the description of the risk is: safety defect/non compliance description and safety risk: the 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. the potential loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in such crash events may increase the risk of injury in a crash. repair description: the occupant restraint controller must be replaced. fca needs to either provide fixes very soon, or replace the vehicles.

Recall issued by chrysler in september 2016 involving defective air bags and front seatbelt pretensioners. it is now february 2017 and chrysler still has not fixed this safety issue in a reasonable time frame. essentially, i'm driving in a car where i could be seriously injured or killed, due to chrysler's negligence in resolving this recall properly.

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.

Takata recall. i received an important safety recall through the mail from the fca us llc. i've already submitted a form for notifications on when the parts available as of 12/08/2016. since then i have not received any updates as to when and where the parts will be available.

Recall with no remedy yet. in addition we have experienced loss of power in the car. i have children. i don't feel it is safe for me to drive with them.

The company says that there is a recall but there is no remedy available. how can i drive a car that doesn't have safe seatbelts or airbags?

Tl* the contact owned a 2014 jeep patriot. while driving 45 mph, the contact's vehicle was struck on the rear passenger side quarter panel by another vehicle. the air bags on the front driver side, front passenger side, and rear passenger side failed to deploy. a police report was filed. the contact sustained neck and ear injuries and received medical attention at the scene of the crash. the driver in the other vehicle was transported to the hospital by ambulance with unknown injuries. the contact's vehicle was towed from the scene and deemed a total loss. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v668000 (air bags, seat belts). the failure mileage was 87,000. vin tool confirms parts not available.

Received a recall notice on 11/15/16. repair shop where car was purchased advised they are unable to assist. contacted thefca recall center for the manufacturer, who advised that they are unable to repair for 90 days pending their determination of repair process for all affected vehicles. 3 months is not a reasonable amount of time to repair safety features on a vehicle that my 17 year old daughter is driving. company should fix timely or pay for rental or provide another vehicle to drive until they can repair it. these known defects in primary safety features and inefficiencies to repair are unacceptable and puts lives in jeopardy. safety features could fail and people killed by the time these issues are fixed. the secretary should impose immediate remedy requirements.

There is a recall on my cars airbag and seat belts. the report says there is no remedy for this problem and i'm very very upset nothing has been fixed yet. i'm very worried and fear driving my car at all because of this. please get back to me as soon as possible, i travel for a living this is a major problem.
