THE UNIVERSAL JOINT HOLDING THE SIDE MIRROR BROKE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE WITHIN ~1 MONTH OF EACH OTHER. THE SAME COMPONENT FAILED IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY IN BOTH INSTANCES. IN BOTH CASES, THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED AT THE END OF A WORK DAY (~5PM) AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE FOR THE ENTIRE WORK DAY. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED PRIOR TO ENTERING OR EVEN TOUCHING THE VEHICLE. THE MIRROR WAS LOOSE AND POINTING MORE TOWARD THE GROUND THAN NORMAL. UPON ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST THE MIRROR INTO THE CORRECT POSITION, IT WAS FOUND TO BE LOOSE AND DETACHED. THE BROKEN PIECE IS MADE OF PLASTIC. IT HAS A HEMISPHERE WITH 3 PRONGS STICKING OUT OF IT. THE 3 PRONGS HAVE GROOVES IN THEM THAT ENGAGE WITH TABS ON A SPACIAL WASHER. THE WASHER PUSHES ON A SPRING. ONE OF THE PRONGS IS BROKEN AT THE TOP OF THE GROOVE WHICH IS ENGAGED WITH THE WASHER. IT APPEARS THAT THE PLASTIC IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THE SPRING LOAD, BUT THERE MAY ALSO BE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS DUE TO STRESS CONCENTRATIONS IN THE GROOVE OR FROM THE SHARP EDGES OF THE WASHER. HERE IS MY BEST INTERPRETATION OF THE TEXT ON THE STICKER ON THE ASSEMBLY. ORIGINAL TORQUE 1.0-2.0 19-459000-000 LOT. NO 04314 SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS SEEMS TO BE LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN ON THE ON RAMP ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE , IT JUST FEELS LIKE ITS ALMOST RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND RPM'S WILL GO UP TO 5-6 .I AM ALMOST AFRAID OF BEING RAN OVER WHEN ACCELERATING DURING ANY SITUATION. ALSO MY BRAKES FROM DAY ONE HAVE ALWAYS SQUEEKED... I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED , THEY HAVE CLEANED AND DAYS LATER THE SAME THINK. AND THE DRUMS ON REAR ARE EVEN WORSE, MORE OF A GRINDING SOUND, BUT ALSO I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY ARE FINE. THIS NOISE IS NOT NORMAL . I HAVE ALSO HAD A FEW INCIDENTS WHERE SAY SITTING IN TRAFFIC WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE IT WILL SWITCH FROM MANUAL TO STANDARD. IT WILL BE IN DRIVE THEN I WILL LOOK AND IT WILL BE IN D 1. I HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH THE SHIFTER OVER TO GO BACK TO NORMAL DRIVE.

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!

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.

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.

IT HAS BEEN 11 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL. I CONTACTED JEEP - THERE STILL ISN'T A FIX. AIR BAGS & SEAT BELTS THAT DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY ARE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER IS A NEW DRIVER & I'M SCARED TO LET HER DRIVE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR SAFETY & IT IS NOT SAFE. I FEEL LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION - IT'S NOW RATTLING UNDER THE FRONT TIRE.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ISSUE. VEHICLE EXHIBITED UNEXPECTED AND UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION.

NHTSA ODI 11010897

AT 27,900 MILES THE PLASTIC GEARS IN THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED, CAUSING AN UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND CLIMBING A HILL. I DID MY RESEARCH AND LEARNED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS EXISTED SINCE 2007 WITH NO PERMANENT SOLUTION. THIS MANIFESTS ITSELF AS AN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER UNTIL THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT COMES ON AT WHICH POINT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THERE IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO BY MOTOR CITY MECHANIC ON YOUTUBE THAT EXPLAINS THIS ISSUE IN DETAIL. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ONE OF THESE FAILS AT SPEED AND SOMEONE IS KILLED.

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.
