Two problems related to starter have been reported for the 2014 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I went to start my car and there was no power even with a jump. After replacing the starter, battery, relays, eginition switch, thermostats, alter alternator and throttle body the issue continued. On the hwy the temp light comes on and has issues accelerating and when you try to start it click seems like it's not going to start and finally does. The battery light stays on. And just over all jerky and lights dim.
I really hate that I have so many issues with the console electrical in my car. Mostly radio/aux/charger/starter. Since about a week after I got the car, and of corse after 3 days its not returnable. I messed up buying it brand-new, but I was excited since my car before that was my first car that I had bought in high school. I had to have the charger unit replaced so I could charge my phone. At the time I was stationed 3 hours from home, so I frequently made the trip and needed my phone charged for the gps. It's not that it wouldn't charge, but the charger had to be "turned" a specific way. It wasn't the charger. . I tried countless. Recently, within the last year, I noticed that the aux is doing the exact same thing. And yes, I've tried multiple phones and aux cords, but the cord has to be turned a "certain way" in the hole to work. It pissed me off because I had to pay to have my charger replaced, and I'm sure I'll have to pay to have this replaced too. Oh, and the starter. (or I think its the starter) about a year ago, I have to turn the key and hold it for a second to get my car to start sometimes. . Its so irritating. . I learned my lesson with buying new cars. The warranties cover nothing and they have more issues then the old camaro I bought for my first car :/.
