general problems of the 2014 Jeep Patriot - part 1

On a fateful day, I, [xxx] , found myself in a harrowing situation on the interstate. While driving, my car unexpectedly flipped over, tumbling four times before coming to a jarring stop. The chaos began when my engine backfired violently, which was followed by the alarming sight of smoke rising from under the hood as flames erupted. To make matters worse, my four-wheel drive system malfunctioned, leaving me helpless and unable to regain control. Despite my efforts, the seatbelt that is supposed to ensure safety failed to hold me securely, and the airbag system did not deploy, adding to the sense of dread I experienced during the crash. As I tried to process the unfolding nightmare, I found myself unable to unbuckle my seatbelt due to the shock and disorientation of the accident. The dashboard's sensors were unresponsive, and my speed monitor flickered as though mocking my plight. In that moment, the overwhelming fear and confusion turned into a painful reality as I was left with a broken left shoulder blade and a fractured left forearm, the break occurring in the upper arm, just adding to the turmoil of the incident. This life-altering experience not only left me physically injured but also sparked a deep reflection on my life and the importance of safety measures in vehicles. On a fateful day, information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I went to the quirk Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram dealership of dorchester (on hallet street) to have my vehicle recall serviced & I was turned away because I was told that the dealership does not service cars passed a certain mileage limit.

Seat belt on driver side is fully extended and will not retract properly- wondering if the seat belts will even work in the event of an accident.

The electronic throttle control and electronic stability control indicators illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road, turned off, and restarted. The vehicle was taken to leith Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram aberdeen (910-944-7115, located at 11049 us-15, aberdeen, nc 28315) where the contact was informed that there was no recall for the failure.

The housing that holds the seatbelt to the side of the front driver's side seat has come loose. There appears to be a bolt missing and some plastic has broken off. This is causing the housing to not be secured to the seat.

Was never properly notified about the recall. It was posted sept. 13, 2016. It is now sept. 16, 2018.

Takata recall I took my 2014 Jeep Patriot into my local Jeep dealer for repair of the s61 takata airbag recall. While the vehicle was in the shop being repaired, the service manager informed me the newly installed part malfunctioned and thought the car had rolled over, and deployed all airbags in the car. This destroyed the interior of the car, including the roof, seats, front console, steering wheel, and seat belts. The manager mentioned they would fix the damage. However, the car was submitted for the repair on April 12, 2018, and as of may 14, 2018 they have not removed the old airbags, or installed any new airbags. This is a serious safety concern. If the newly installed part used to fix the recall had malfunctioned while the vehicle was in use, it could have been a fatal accident. There is no way to tell if and when the part was going to malfunction. I now have my concerns regarding the safety of this vehicle, the reliability of the recalled part, and the safety of any newly installed takata airbags. There is professional negligence on the part of the Jeep service center for not repairing their error for greater than 5 weeks after the damaged occurred, for reducing the value of my car, and for using faulty equipment in their repair. There is also professional negligence on the part of the takata airbag company for providing a faulty airbag and faulty repair part for the s61 recall. This negligence could have been fatal.

On the morning of 4/1/18 I was involved in a car accident when my car lost control and hit a tree going between 20-30mph. It was a head on collision where my air bags did not deploy and my seat belt did not tense during or after the collision. As such, I received a large laceration to my forehead when it hit the steering wheel. The accident occurred when I was making a slight left through an intersection near a residential area and the road was slick from a slight rain that was happening. I had skidded out through the intersection and before I knew what was happening I was colliding with the tree in front of me. There were no other parties involved.

I have been contacting my dealership since the recall was issued on my vehicle since 2017. Every time I call I am advised that they do not have the parts to fix my vehicle, to call back. Well it has been almost two years and I am still trying to have this recalled issue fixed. I was involved in an accident December of 2017 where my airbags did not deploy.

Leslie, a service advisor at absher arnold motors located in marion, illinois refused to perform a safety recall repair on my 2014 Jeep Patriot. She stated they could not get the part and that the part was being �rationed out. � this went on over a period of about three weeks. Upon contacting another area dealership (weeks in west frankfort) they had the part in two days and performed the recall repair the next day. I feel this matter should be looked into so that others aren't provided with this type of service and false information. Thank you.

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.

There is recall to replace the occupant restrain controller on my car however when I call the dealer to schedule an appointment and get it replaced I was told that Chrysler has put a hold on the measure as a solution because replacing the part may do more damage than it already does and that for now they were just taking names down and will call back once the company has a better solution. I however have noticed that sometimes that pressure to hold the seat belt in does not stay and tensioner opens randomly.

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.

Received a recall notice about faulty airbag/seatbelt pretensioner. Dealership says they have no fix yet but it's a big deal to me because this affects safety devices and potentially my family's safety. I had to hard brake the other day and my son's seat belt didn't lock and he fell over in his booster seat.

Have contacted fica about recall,they say my car is in china. I live in beloit, WI. Very rude representative.

In September of 2016 Jeep discovered a serious, possibly fatal risk potential associated with a sensor involved in restraining seat belts and deploying air bags "under certain impact conditions". As an owner, I was not apprised of this risk until June 20, 2017. Then, when I inquired about the availability of a repair to correct this lemon I was "informed", "advised" there was no repair available and such repair(s) may not be available for six months. I was given a vague estimate, and vague "assurance" I would be apprised of repair availability when ready. I asked, "should I bee driving this flaw?" they had no specific guidance. Seriously? accordinfly, I am invoking "lemon law" and demanding full liquidation of my existing auto loan at Jeep's expense. If they do not oblige, I shall seek civil suit damages by jury trial for added emotional pain and suffering coupled with their failure to fully-disclose potential fatal flaw for over six months to Jeep owners. I expect the NHTSA to manage this claim. Period. What a mess. What country is this? is anyone watching and protecting consumers? I expect the NHTSA to force Jeep to immediately undertake a full buyback program no later than July 1, 2017. Period.

Important safety recall s61/NHTSA 16v-668 notice was received from fca on 11/15/2016. As of 6/16/2017, the recall status incomplete but repair parts are not available.

The description of the risk safety defect/non compliance description and safety risk: the vehicles may experience loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in certain crash events due to a shorting condition resulting in a negative voltage transient that travels to the occupant restraint controller via the front impact sensor wires. The potential loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in such crash events may increase the risk of injury in a crash. Repair description: the occupant restraint controller must be replaced. Fca needs to either provide fixes very soon, or replace the vehicles.

I was told the parts for the recall may not be available until June/July of this year. I will risk the safety of myself and my family, including a teen driver, if I continue to operate this car before the repair can be made.
