WATER LEAKS FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD AND, IF IT IS RAINING HARD ENOUGH, INTO AND OUT OF THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS, WHICH IS WORRISOME BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRICAL FACTOR. WE NOTICED THE LEAKAGE AFTER GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING OUR USED JEEP. WE BROUGHT IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS FIXED FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS UNTIL IT RAINED HEAVILY AND WE NOTICED WATER STREAMING IN, YET AGAIN. WE HAVE ALSO SINCE NOTICED THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE GETS SOAKED AFTER IT RAINS AS WELL AND WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT IS COMING FROM. IT SEEMS OVERALL THAT OUR JEEPS SEALANTS ARE VERY FAULTY.

I'VE COMPLAINED HERE 2 WEEKS AGO BUT NOW AN UPDATE -- TODAY WAS THE SECOND TIME WHICH WAS MORE SERIOUS AS NOT ONLY THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON , BUT THE MIL LIGHT AND THEN THE EAC LIGHT. AFTER STALLING AND RESTARTING AND PLUGGING MY WAY HOME -- WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT , FOOT ON BRAKE ON A HILL, THE CAR SEEMED TO RPM VERY HIGHLY AND SEEMED TO WANT TO ACCELERATE (WHILE A PEDESTRIAN CROSSED IN FRONT OF ME AT THE LIGHT). AT THAT TIME -- OR AROUND THAT TIME -- ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON -- ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, BUT APPEARED TO SWOOP INTO HIGH GEAR WHILE SITTING WITH BRAKE ON PEDAL. IT THEN DWINDLED DOWN TO THE PREVIOUS 3 LIGHTS. LATER WHEN I MADE IT HOME AFTER SEVERAL STALLS, I WENT OUT TO START IT . THE MIL LIGHT LIGHTS FIRST, AND ALTHOUGH IT'S SUPPOSE TO WARN ME ABOUT SEAT-BELTS THAT HAS STOPPED. THEN THE ETC LIGHT COMES ON AFTER ABOUT 1 MINUTE OR SO, AND THE EAC WHICH STAYS ON.I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR DO THIS EVER! SO DANGEROUS! THE SEATBELT LIGHT? THIS HAS GOT TO BE ELECTRICAL. CHRYSLER HAS NEVER FIXED THEIR JEEP PROBLEMS -- THIS IS A REPEATED ISSUE WITH ALL OF THEIR JEEPS . I WAS IN DOWNTOWN DULUTH GOING ONLY 30 MPH BUT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO PAST THAT SPEED AS IT KEPT ATTEMPTING TO STALL OUT. I'M SORRY I COULDN'T TAKE PICTURES WHILE IN THE MIDST OF A PANIC.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO STALL AND THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR SEEMED TO GO NEUTRAL, THEN GAG, THEN REGAINED IT'S COMPOSURE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF. CAR WAS IN COLD WEATHER BUT NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE, IN MN. TEMPS THE MANUAL SAID IT WAS THE ETC ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL, BUT DIDN'T INDICATE IT WAS A MAJOR CONCERN, UNLESS LIGHT STAYED ON . WHAT WOULD BE A MAJOR CONCERN OTHER THAN GETTING REAR ENDED BY A PILE OF CARS? I'VE NEVER HAD THIS WITH ANY CAR, IT WAS TOTALLY A NEW LIGHT I'VE NEVER SEEN. I MADE IT TO WORK AFTERWARDS. ON THE WAY BACK HOME, THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN -- FLASHING, THEN OFF -- CAR STAYED ROLLING. PERHAPS IT IS MORE INCLINED TO STALL GOING UPHILL WITH THE ETC, AND WHILE IT'S ROLLING DOWNHILL, LESS INCLINED TO STALL? WHO KNOWS, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS IS JUST A COUPLE PATRIOTS OUT THERE, BECAUSE THERE'S ALREADY MORE THAN 500 PEOPLE WHO'VE COMPLAINED OF THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED DEALER - BUT THEY DID NOT ADMIT TO ANY RECALLS FOR MY PATRIOT - EVEN WHEN I STATED OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS EXACT ISSUE. I AM VERY RELUCTANT TO TAKE MY JEEP ANYWHERE BUT A FEW BLOCKS IN THIS WINTER WEATHER. THIS WAS TRULY THE FIRST TIME I FELT UNSAFE IN IT. MILEAGE IS 89,000. HOWEVER, SHOULD AN ACCIDENT OCCUR I WILL CERTAINLY SUE THE COMPANY. *TR

IN AUGUST 2016 DRIVING ALONG AND THE CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT AND ELECTRICAL LIGHT AND MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE STAYED ON AS WELL AND THE CAR SPUTTERED THEN STOPPED. WOULD NOT GO. HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ELECTRONIC BODY THROTTLE NEEDED REPLACED. RIDICULOUS,I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP BUT DIDN'T HEAR BACK SO I HAD IT FIXED AND REPLACED. MONDAY DECEMEBER 12TH WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 45 MILES AN HOUR MY JEEP STALLED AND THEN COMPLETELY DIED ON THE ROAD. I MANAGED TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD AT A COAST. HAD IT TOWED AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC SAID I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED THE MECHANIC SAID "DUE TO ABRASIVE DEBRIS IN THE BALANCE SHAFT BEARINGS, THESE ENGINES MAY HAVE A LOSS OF ENGINE OIL PRESSURE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ENGINE STALL OR ENGINE FAILURE," SAID NHTSA IN ITS SUMMARY OF THE PROBLEM. "IF THE ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING, IT MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH." THE SAME AS THE RECALL,I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND MY JEEP WAS NOT ON THE RECALL. JUST BECAUSE IT WASN'T ON THE LIST DOES NOT MEAN THERE COULD NOT BE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY JEEP DID THE SAME THING TWICE WHILE DRIVING,STALLED AND THEN DIED. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION FILL PIPE BROKE OFF AND WAS HANGING UNDER THE CAR. LUCKILY WE NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS HANGING OFF THE CAR WHILE IT WAS PARKED, MY BOYFRIEND REACHED UNDER THE CAR TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND IT CAME OFF IN HIS HAND. HAD IT FALLEN OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR IT COULD HAVE FALLEN OFF AND WE WOULD HAVE NEVER NOTICED IT AND HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AT SOME POINT. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT PRETENDED LIKE THEY'D NEVER HEAR OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE BUT A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MANY PATRIOT AND CALIBER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. I ALSO SUSPECT THAT A LOT OF THESE HAVE FALLEN OFF WITHOUT THE OWNERS EVEN REALIZING IT.
