2009 Jeep Patriot

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE, BUT THE RPMS REMAINED AT 5. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR A NOISE IN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING A NEW BATTERY, SPARKS PLUGS, AND TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AT THAT TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DECELERATING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

TAKATA RECALL: USE SUV PURCHASE IN 2014 FROM KORNER FORD. AIR BAG LIGHT IS COMING ON EVERY 30 SECONDS FOR KNOW REASON. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER ALL WARRENTIES AS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NOT WEAR AND TEAR. STATIONARY IN PUBLIC PARKING LOT AS I STARTED THE IGNITION. HAS BEEN ON FOR 1 WEEK AS OF TO-DATE 03/31/2016. VERBALLY TOLD THAT I HAD BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE. PERSON IS NO LONGER THERE AND MY COVERAGE IS LIMITED.

HAD A VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING CAR. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP AND MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO STICK HIS FINGERS THROUGH THE "K" FRAME AND NOTICED 3 GIANT HOLES IN THE FRAME FROM CORRODED METAL. UPON INVESTIGATION IT WAS NOTED THAT ON 5-19-14 THAT THE 2007 JEEP PATRIOT WAS RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME THING (23-012-14) DUE TO CORROSION OF THE K FRAME WHICH ENDED UP EXTENDING THE WARRANTY INDEFINITE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND EXPLAINED MY FRUSTRATION WITH THE SITUATION AND ASKED THAT SINCE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT SITUATION FOR THE 07 IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE MY YEAR WAS NOT RECALLED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE. DUE TO THIS I WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE ON SHORT NOTICE DUE TO THE SAFETY OF DRIVING MY FAMILY IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE I BOUGHT BRAND NEW 6 YEARS AGO. I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOMETHING THEY DOCUMENTED AS A PROBLEM EVEN THOUGHT IT "ONLY AFFECTED" VEHICLES 2 YEARS PRIOR TO MINE INSTEAD OF JUST IGNORING THE CUSTOMER'S CONCERNS AND WORRIES. DUE TO THIS I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE FOR THE WAY THE TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

MY JEEP CAME WITH A LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AT THE TIME I PURCHASED THE JEEP IN APRIL 2009. I WAS VERBALLY TOLD AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CHECKED BEFORE 50,000 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP INTO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS TO HAVE MINOR THINGS REPAIRED AND FOR NORMAL MAINTENANCE. AT THOSE TIMES I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION SO I COULD COMPLY WITH THE WARRANTY. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ON 11/12/14 TO GET A MINOR PROBLEM FIXED AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE I DID NOT BRING MY JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF PURCHASE (APRIL 2009 - APRIL 2014) TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION INSPECTED, THAT I FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF MY WARRANTY. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT I WAS REQUIRED TO BRING MY JEEP INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2014 FOR THE INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD HAVE IT INSPECTED ANYTIME BEFORE 50,000 MILES, WHICH I DID MULTIPLE TIMES. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE SENT ME A NOTICE BY MAIL. I NEVER GOT SUCH A NOTICE. CHRYSLER FAILED TO PROPERLY NOTIFY ME AHEAD OF TIME TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION INSPECTED BEFORE APRIL 2014. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS ALL MY FAULT FOR NOT THOROUGHLY READING MY OWNERS MANUAL. THEY DENIED HAVING ANY RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT SUCH THINGS. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CUSTOMER TO READ THROUGH THE OWNERS MANUAL AND REMEMBER TO SCHEDULE SERVICE 5 YEARS IN THE FUTURE. I AM UPSET WITH CHRYSLER OVER THIS. NOW MY JEEP DOES NOT HAVE ANY WARRANTY ON THE POWERTRAIN. CHRYSLER HAS NO CONCERN FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. ONLY ABOUT MAKING AND SAVING MONEY AT THE COST OF THE CONSUMER. BY CANCELING MY WARRANTY, THEY AVOIDED HAVING TO PAY FOR ANY POWERTRAIN SERVICES I MAY HAVE IN THE FUTURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION AND POWER TRAINING CONTROL MODULE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 40 MPH AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED TEN MINUTES LATER, AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON TEN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT OFFER A REMEDY. A LOCAL MECHANIC DIAGNOSIS ON THE VEHICLE WAS THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

MY CAR STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE AND HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION, LIKE THE GEARS WERE FINDING IT HARD TO LOCK IN PROPERLY. IT'S AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. AFTER THE SNOWSTORMS, I TOOK IT TO A CHAIN FRANCHISE TO CHECK IT OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT JEEP PUT A MERCEDES TRANSMISSION IN THE CAR, THAT IT'S NOT MEANT FOR THIS MAKE OR MODEL, THAT IT'S A DEFECT BECAUSE THE PUMP WORE OUT AND THAT JEEP WILL NOT PAY TO REPLACE/REPAIR AND THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS UNDER 50,000, THAT I HAVE TO PAY CLOSE TO FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPAIR/REPLACE. THE MECHANIC AT THE CHAIN FRANCHISE SAID THAT THIS PART JUST WORE OUT BECAUSE IT WASN'T INTENDED TO BE USED IN THE MECHANICS FOR THIS CAR. *TR
