general problems of the 2011 Jeep Patriot - part 2

Started making whirring noise, lost power and transmission overheat light came on. Had to pull over on highway at night.

My wife was driving her car on a day after it had rained. As she started to take off, water started pouring out of the overhead interior light and also the front interior light. This continues to happen after a rain. The rains comes down from the sunroof somehow and settles in the upper interior lighting system. It is enough water to soak any person(s) in the front seat(s) or completely soak a small towel.

Rear window exploded when door was shut.

When the weather turned cold the tire sensor light came on. I asked at the dealership about it and they said it is so cold out that you lose a bit of pressure and once the weather turns warm the light will turn off. The weather is now in the 50-60 degree range and I just had an oil change with tire pressure checked and the light is still on. I do not want to pay a lot of money to get this fixed because now I think it is a bad sensor. This is very dangerous because if I ignore it and there is a real problem I could get into an accident because of low tire pressure which could result in severe injury or death and that would follow a major lawsuit because we have been dealing with this problem for a few months now and I notice that others have experienced this same problem. Please a recall for this problem before someone gets injured.

Car stalled while traveling on highway at 60 mph. No warning. Problem continues, dealer will not fix. Says he can't find cause of stalling. However, nhsa and us gov. Regulatory agency has been investigating multiple similar complaints from other Jeep Patriot owners including one who had his Jeep totaled by another car rear ending his vehicle when the Jeep stalled. I am not safe in this car. I need help having Jeep step up to fix this transmission which is clearly failing. Jeep is well aware of this problem with the Jeep Patriot but unless there is a recall, those of us who bought this car in good faith have been hung out to dry.

While driving at 75 mph, the car stalled. It decelerated and the steering wheel locked up. It would not restart and the check engine light and electronic throttle control lights came on. It had to be towed to the dealership. The dealership said they could find nothing wrong with the vehicle and it started right up. A similar incident happened a year ago when I was traveling at 75 mph on a different highway and the dealer couldn't find a problem then either.

In 2012 we had a nail through the tire of the 2011 Jeep Patriot that we bought new. When we took the car to tires plus to have the tire replaced. We were told that they couldn't legally replace just one tire. The tread wear was so awful; uneven, different tread variances, they couldn't match one used tire. How would they pick what tire to match it up too. We ended up with 4 new tires, we were also told at the time the uneven tread was doing damage to shocks and struts. A year later we took it in for new break pads and rotation, again, even with these "new" tires we were told tread was so uneven, it would be loud, be careful, excreta. I took the Jeep into a Jeep dealership for a recall 10/2013 "n01 recall" since I had in there I also opted to get transmission service/filter, they too talked to me about my tire wear. 11/2013ish my husband, stationed in hi purchases a new Jeep as well. Now we are stuck with two of these. . . 2/2014 I find out the vehicle he purchase (not his, but others with same yr/make/model are already being recalled. Then my transmission goes out! a Jeep, we have just owned, higher miles all from hwy 94 from my husband compute when he lived in WI to fortmccoy. . . Straight shot. . . 65mh the whole way. In addition they fix sway bar link, arm control and tell me noise that still exists could be wheel bearing, my alignment was so off, they kept it an extra day. So I'm 5k into my vehicle I owed 3 years, the wheel bearing, alignment, sway bar, arm control, shocks, struts all I believe to whatever (I wish I new) was causing the uneven tread wear. There is something wrong! transmission different issue. . . Or is it? I have been told as mentioned above they couldn't "legally" replace just one tire. . . Then how for the last three years can Jeep legally let me drive my 4 kids in a vehicle that has obvious problems. Yes, I've called dealership, home office and bbb.
