general problems of the 2010 Jeep Patriot

First the hood light came on-then the emergency brake light-then the air bag light-now my headlights wont go off. It was diagnosed as a faulty tipm. I'm concerned the air bags might be deployed creating a major safety issue I've heard there are numerous complaints on tipm's and that there may be a recall. Is that true?.

Sometimes when I turn my steering wheel the air bag light turns on. It does not always stay on and only comes on occasionally, usually when I make a turn. I got the diagnostics tan and the error code b1b02 driver airbag squib 1 circuit open. There was recently a couple of recalls (s61 occupant restraint controller and n01 reprogram occupant control restraint module) for my 2010 Jeep Patriot. I believe this issue with the error code I’m receiving is related to the recall issue, especially since the light does not stay on consistently.

My electronic throttle control indicator light came on and my car started jerking, slowing and I lost the ability to accelerate. This would have been a very dangerous situation if I had been on the interstate.

Gas tank cannot be filled up all the way as the car stalls and turns off in less then a mile. The car has no acceleration more then 20mhp and takes a long time in gaining speed when trying to take off after a stop and when changing lanes. Car lacks power when driving on highways, creating traffic and panic in the driver. Car is a hazard on the road and mechanics are aware but no one seems to find the issue and correct.

Safty recall n01 / NHTSA 13v-233 and s61 / NHTSA 16v-668 I took my 2010 Jeep Patriot in for the above factory recalls on 11/21/2017 to young Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram of ionia in ionia, mi and was told that they didn't have the parts to fix this recall. I was told I would be contacted when parts were available but not offered a replacement vehicle until the repairs are made. I feel that is very unsafe to drive a vehicle that could have these possible life threatening problems.

The sunroof on the 2010 Jeep Patriot does not seal against the exterior of the vehicle allowing more water into the cabin then the two drains can handle. The drains clog easily due to the excess water making the issue even worse. Water enters the car as the sunroof water pan fills up and leaks out of the cabin dome light and down the sides of the car. Water then enters electrical components behind the dash resulting in radio failure, shorting multiple components that prevent the car from turning off without removing the iod fuse, and causing the engine water temperature to peg. Dealerships have tried multiple solutions even when the vehicle was under warranty, but the issue remains and they have begun to claim it it a drain maintenance issue and not a manufacturing defect.

The sunroof leaks into the headliner while parked or in motion, the water eventually finds its way into the front dome light which then precedes to leak all over the radio and climate control knobs. This has happened multiple times to my vehicle and seems to be a nation wide problem with Patriots in most model years. The most recent episode ruined my radio and I'm afraid to install another because this will eventually happen again and again.

Clock spring is bad. Same model that's under recall on the wrangler. First problem noticed was when using turn signal, radio display would dim. Second problem was that the air bag light came on. Air bag light sometimes goes off while turning steering wheel.

Tire air fill valve stem corroded due to road salt. Common issue on Jeep forums. The alloy metal just evaporates over time and snaps off when adding air or washing the rims but have heard of them coming apart driving down the road. Seems to occur just below the valve cap edge. Switched to rubber valve stems but lost auto tire air pressure monitor.

Abs sensor , electrical stability control and 4x4 warning lights came on while driving and vehicle slowed down. I pulled over and turned ignition off , restarted it . . . Warning lights came back on and this continued, vehicle was drivable. Now car is in the shop but mechanic is unable to find any issues. He has checked brakes, struts , sensors so far nothing is problematic. I called Jeep for help with issue but representative acted as if he has never heard of this happening.

The fan on the heater quit working and smoke came fr poo m around the three knobs for the heater and air conditioner. This has happened twice. I just replaced it again last week.

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle stalled as all the warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was restarted and the check engine warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the total integrated power module needed the be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure and current mileage was 46,000.

My daughter called and said all of here lights were out both inside and outside Jeep. Windshield wipers did not work. Basically everything stopped working. She was able to start it and I told her to take it to the Jeep dealer in christianburg va. They checked it out and told her the control arm for the signals lights was broken but could not get a new one until Monday, this was Friday night. I told her to come home very slowly because it was raining. She made it home safely, I checked several Jeep forums and found out if you disconnect the battery and let the computer reboot it would fix the problem. Sure enough it did and saved me hundreds of dollars. Everyone should know this to keep from getting into trouble on the hwy. I have questioned the dealer in richmond about but they say they have never heard anything about it. The problem is there and some people know because they told me how to solve the issue. Please let everyone know about this issue both for safety and wasted money at a dealer.

My daughter called from collage to tell me her turn signals head lights dash lights and wipers had all stopped working. She took it to the local Jeep dealer who told her it was the turn signal switch and could not work on it until the following Monday. She had to come home in the rain, drive 250 miles with out turn signals, lights or wipers. This is a real problem that the Jeep needs to address and fix it. I started looking on line at some Jeep forums and found some things to try. The first one I tried got everything working for now still do not know what caused the origional issues though and Jeep is not going to admit to anything. All I did was unhook the positive cable to the battery and reset the on board control system for the Jeep. Please pass this info on it really helped my daughter and saved a fortune in unnessary parts and work from the dealer.
