2008 Jeep Patriot

THE TPMS SENSOR NUT BROKE OFF THE SENSOR ITSELF. THIS LEFT A HOLE IN THE RIM WHERE THE SENSOR/STEM SHOULD BE SINCE THERE WAS NOTHING HOLDING IT ONCE THE TIRE STARTED LOSING AIR, RAPIDLY, IT FELL IN THE TIRE AND RUINED THE TIRE AND RESULTED IN A INSTANT FLAT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME ON A SECOND TIRE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO IN THE TWO AND A HALF YEARS I HAVE THIS VEHICLE. JEEP NEEDS TO DO A RECALL OR GET RID OF THE SO CALLED SAFETY PRECAUTION AND GO BACK TO THE BASICS OF A RUBBER STEAM AND NO SENSOR. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AS YOU HAVE ALMOST NO TIME TO SLOW DOWN AND TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD BEFORE THE TIRE IS TOAST.

I HAVE 3 PARTS PROBLEM OF MY CAR. 1.) MY STEERING WHEEL ARE NOT IN THE PERFECT BALANCE.NORMAL STEERING WHEEL FACE 12 OCLOCK BUT SLIGHTLY TURNING TO RIGHT ABOUT 12:30 OR 1 OCLOCK POSITION,SO WHEN I RUN AT SLOW SPEED ABOUT 5 MPH IT TURN RIGHT ABOUT 3 SECOND AND WHEN YOU RUN IT AT HIGH SPEED MORE WORSE. 2.) MY 2 BEARING PART IS WORN OUT I GUESS,BECAUSE I NOTICE THAT I RUN AT 55 OR 60 MPH AT FREEWAY IT MAKE ALOT OF NOISE LIKE RUMBLING SOUND FEELS LIKE FALLING APART. THE EFFECTED PART IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ON THE RIGHT AND THE OTHER ONE IS ON THE BACK SIDE ON THE LEFT BOTH OF THEM NEED TO REPLCE SOON AS POSSIBLE THIS REQUEST IS URGENT FOR MY FAMILY SAFTEY I HAVE 1 YEARS OLD DAUGHTER RIDING WITH ME AND MY WIFE. 3.) MY LAST COMPALINT IS MY CAR BRAKE THIS IS SCARY I EVER EXPERIENCE I CANT REALLY HARDLY DISCRIBE. MANY OF DAY I DROVE MY CAR RUN AT SPEED OF 25 OR 30 MPH AND WHEN I HIT THE BUMP AND PRESS THE BRAKES THE BRAKE GOES ALL THE WAY ITS FEEL LIKE SHAKING AND THE BRAKES BARELY TOUCH THE FLOOR ITS HAPPEN MANY TIME SO DANGERIOUS I CHECK MY BRAKE DOT OIL IT WAS GOOD PERFECT LEVEL. AND I ALSO COMPLAINT MY CAR BODY PART THE HOOD,THE BACK FENDER RIGHT SIDE AND LEFT RUSTY,DENT & SCRATCHES HOPEFULLY I CAN GET A HELP SOON.

THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS RANDOMLY STOP WORKING WHILE IT IS RAINING OUT. THIS FIRST STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. SOMETIMES THEY ARE FINE FOR TWENTY MINUTES, OTHER TIMES IT IS 5 MINUTES. THEY WILL COMPLETELY STOP WORKING AND FOLD BACK DOWN, AS IF I HAVE TURNED THEM OFF. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO SEARS ONCE, AND SPENT TWO DAYS AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE IT. I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND RAINING FOR IT TO HAPPEN, MAYBE THE FORCE OF THE WIND OR ROAD IS THE CAUSE. NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE TECHNICAL SKILL TO RECREATE IT, I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE AND TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT HAPPENS .ALL THE COMPUTERS READ THAT THE WIPERS ARE FINE, YET THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. NOT BEING ABLE TO USE WIPERS FOR EVEN SECONDS IS DANGEROUS, AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE NOW WHEN IT RAINS. I HAVE RECORDED VIDEO ON MY CELLPHONE OF IT HAPPENING, AND STILL IT IS NO USE BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT RECREATE IT. THIS IS A VERY STRESSFUL AND FRUSTRATING SITUATION, THAT COULD COST ME MY LIFE IF NOT ADDRESSED.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ABOUT 45 WHEN MY TIE ROD WENT. BARELY ESCAPED CRASHING MY CAR. FRONT TIRE TURNED SIDE WAYS, LEAVING MY CAR SQUALLING UNCONTROLLABLE DOWN HILL. THANK GOD THERE WASN'T OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME, OR DRIVING ANY FASTER THAN I WAS! NEIGHBOR CAME RUSHING OUT HEARING THE SQUEALING FROM MY TIRES, THINKING THERE HAD BEEN ACCIDENT! SO SO SCARY. IT COULD HAVE KILLED ME! TIE ROD WERE REPLACED JUST OVER A YEAR AGO, AND AGAIN THEY ARE FAILING. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT!! I'VE REPLACE THE TIRES THREE TIMES IN THREE YEARS! ROTORS, BREAK PADS, BALL JOINTS. IT'S A MONEY PIT! SE PROBLEMS KEEP REPEATING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!!

TOOK MY JEEP IN FOR YEARLY INSPECTION AND THE MECHANIC SAID THE CRADLE FRAME WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. THROUGH RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE 2007 MODELS WERE GIVEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CONTACTED JEEP I WAS TOLD MY 2008 MODEL WAS NOT PART OF THAT, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I LIVE IN THE SNOW BELT OF NORTH WESTERN PA. AND HAVE NEVER HAD A RUST ISSUE LIKE THIS BEFORE. MECHANIC SAID I WAS LUCKY THAT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION DIDN'T FALL OUT WHILE I WAS ON THE ROAD.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 45 MPH, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHT CAME HOME CAUSING THE SPEED TO IMMEDIATELY DROP DOWN TO 20MPH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF. I WAITED AND THE CAR STARTED BACK UP FINE. THE NEXT DAY, WHILE DRIVING, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY SHUT MY CAR OFF. I WAS ABLE TO FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL TO TURN INTO A PARKIN SPOT. AFTER TRYING TO CRANK THE CAR, IT FINALLY STARTED AND THE LIGHT DIDNT COME ON. THE NEXT DAY, HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND NEW SPARK PLUGS PUT IN. THE CAR DROVE FINE AT FIRST AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, THE SPPED DROPPED TO 10MPH. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP GOING AND STOP AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT FINALLY GOT IT.THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS A RECALL TO HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF!!! IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED TO HAVE SOMETHING HAPPEN
