Jeep
Patriot

Because they have not sealed the screws on the interior side of the roof that hold the rails on top of the Jeep it now leaks since we have attached a kayak rack to those Jeep factory placed rails. Jeep is not willing to repair it and it requires tearing out the complete interior headliner to repair. After it rains the water sits in the door frame and leaks into the floor of the backseat causing molding issues (last good rain we got I ended up with an inch of water sitting in the back floorboard). It also collects in the front interior light fixture so when you drive and come to a stop there is water coming down all over the dashboard and the electrical/computer components of the dash. I called Jeep customer service and they won't repair it even though it is a VERY COMMON problem (per google search to try and see what the cause and repair entails, this is how I found out that the rail screws are the issue). Since it is a common problem and Jeep doesn't want to repair it and it is not only ruining my headliner and the carpet, but it also poses a risk when driving that it distracts as you try to sop it up as it's leaking from the light fixture as you drive and there's no other way to get it out without taking the whole inside of the Jeep apart.

Jeep cvr transmission started bucking and hesitating when driving. Having problems shifting when accelerating. Worried it would quit while driving. Had it serviced and no codes came up for transmission. Still has hesitation when driving. Mechanic said it was transmission. No warning lights came up on dash.

I am writing to formally express my deep concern and frustration regarding the persistent electrical issues with my 2017 Jeep Patriot, which I purchased in November 2018 with approximately 18,000 miles. Just two days after purchasing, I began experiencing electrical malfunctions. I returned to the selling dealership, who claimed they found no issue but performed a tune-up. Over the years, the problems persisted, and despite numerous visits to authorized dealerships, I was repeatedly given temporary repairs with no permanent resolution. Eventually, a recall was issued, but by that time, I was told the vehicle was no longer under warranty — despite the fact that I had reported the issue early and consistently. I have spent thousands of dollars trying to resolve these electrical faults, with no lasting fix. Most recently, I brought the vehicle to a trusted dealership who confirmed an electrical issue, but informed me the required part has been discontinued. I have also learned that many other Jeep Patriot owners have experienced similar electrical issues. Some have returned or sold their vehicles due to the same defects. This pattern suggests a systemic problem with this model, and it is unacceptable that a vehicle this recent is no longer serviceable due to lack of parts and ongoing defects. I have contacted Chrysler support multiple times, but I have received no meaningful resolution. At one point, I was told to use an aftermarket part, which carries no warranty and no guarantee of compatibility. This is not a safe or acceptable option for a manufacturer-supported vehicle. At this point, I am requesting the following: A full investigation into the recurring electrical issues on my vehicle; Chrysler’s support in covering the cost of repairs or offering an alternative solution (e.g., buyback, reimbursement, or replacement assistance); Written clarification on why this part has been discontinued and what Chrysler’s policy is on supporting vehicles in this situat

Active head restraint deployed when not in accident

This is an update to my claim report #11532893 filed on July 18th, 2023, Regarding the spontaneous deployment of the AHR injuring and startling me, believing I was being attacked from behind. I have undergone an ACDF c4-7 fusion, TBI diagnosis, and speech therapy treatments for cognitive speech impairment, Depression, PTSD and anxiety Chrysler stated to me that, in essence, there is virtually zero chance of harm from a random deployment of a defective AHR. I have learned that the FCA now admits there is oil contamination and that they began washing parts with alcohol in August of 2017 to rid the parts of potential contaminants. The dealership, upon inspection, stated they could order a new AHR, which could take months to receive and fix, but refused to replace the un deployed passenger AHR under warranty because it did not deploy. My wife nor I was instructed it would be unsafe to drive in front of the random activated AHR until it could be replaced leading us to believe it was safe fully extended and a logical question, why the needeployment?. When my wife drove me to doctor appointments pre- and post-ACDF recovery, the passenger AHR was tied down with 110# rated Paracord, and I sat with a pillow and the back down slightly, which I believe was not safe either; my neurosurgeon was shocked I had to sit in front of it. We opted not to replace the activated driver's side AHR, believing it's safer fully extended. I discovered fearful people making tutorials on how to remove the AHR's as well, not a safe alternative is tying with zip ties that could cause lacerations. That is why I opted for paracord. I noticed my wife driving, her head still about an inch from the extended AHR. I asked if it was comfortable, and she said yes; I thought of the crash test dummy head placements, far enough away the AHR doesn't even make contact when deploying so fast, I like the idea of catching, parachuting the head back. Is anyone asking common sense questions at NHTSA?

Was driving on highway about 70 mph and check engine light, red lightning bolt symbol, and traction control lights all came on wasn't able to accelerate and vehicle wouldn't go above 30 mph. It's been in and out of dealerships since May and is still not fixed with no explanation why it's doing it . I have 1000 miles until my warranty is up . Could anyone take a look at this !

The contact owned a 2017 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while in stopped traffic, a pickup truck rear-ended and the air bags failed to deploy. The adult son sustained injuries that required spinal surgery. A police report was filed. The vehicle was deemed total by the insurance company. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 89,646.

Exhaust manifold crack causing fumes into cabin. Had a local shop diagnose the problem
