1 Brake Disc Caliper problem of the 2014 Jeep Patriot

Failure Date: 10/05/2020

I have to protest to call stability control to be safe device. In over 120 000 miles on the tiers I replaced if remember right: 6 sets of breaks sets, 5 new new rotors, 2 calipers breaks assemble, front house breaks line. Driving on the straight highway the vehicle soddenly engage the breaks at random. Some time making me see sick. I remember driving 60 miles an hour the brakes engage nearly pushed me in to another car. Recently travel to mouton regain. The breaks slowing me down. For no know cause. I noticed danger pater too. When I make a turn in the winding road, the car is getting extremely dangers. The car braking down when I intend to accelerate. This collision of interest resulting my transmission is down steps good, the rpm go to extreme. First from 1,500 race to 2000 then 3000 then 5000 slowing down the car. When finely breaks are released it kick like a mule trying to force me of the route. Don't know way any one need that tip of traction control?. This is my second vehicle in the row, that have computer problem to. Random action on in and out components. The last one doge acclaim forced to trade in because computer replacement did not solved problem, I tested abs breaks on slow speed. It was only a test 10 mils an hour. I end up I ditch. It was a winter snow. Only a test, miner damage to plastic fender. Is it passable to return to regular breaks, that work. The engine control unit prohibit that action sanction by state inspection. ( no inspection can be pass when warning light is on). Can any way I can get replacement for: generic computer? generic breaks system? maybe I can get waive for installation of that system? I am a industrial mechanic by trade and passion. Can easy wired any components I need. Robert filipkowski robert288@hotmail. Com.

2 Brake Disc Caliper problem of the 2007 Jeep Patriot

Failure Date: 12/07/2010

At an oil change and inspection in early December 2010, the Jeep dealer told me my front tie rod ends and control arms needed replacement. Everything else was fine. My 2007 Jeep only had 32k miles on it, so I finally got them to pay part of this. Two weeks later, while I drove my car to the dealer for the repairs, the car started "jack hammering". It was as if the brakes were being pulsed on and off hard. (my foot was not on the pedal and I was driving 55 mph) the dealership told me next day that my front brakes were fried and loaded with rust, and unsafe to drive. I paid them for the repairs. A week later, the "pulsing" reoccurred, and then a rear brake locked up. I had to get those rotors, calipers and pads replaced too. My problems continued. I had Jeep look again. They could not replicate the problem. The problem is infrequent, but I continue to have a lesser pulsing sensation and a dragging sensation, like pushing a shopping cart with a bad wheel. Two days ago, I took my car to an independent shop. They couldn't replicate the problem, but told me my new tires (less than 5k miles) have already been damaged by this brake problem. They also pointed out how extremely rusty the axles and axle nuts are. So rusty, you can't tell they are nuts. I am driving around now wondering if my wheels and hubs will fly off the car at any minute because there is no metal left to hold them on. Why would these parts rust so badly, and so quickly? why would the dealer put brand new rotors and calipers on such severely rusted axles and nuts without telling me? don't they care if I'm safe? I have since found out from researching this, that others have the same problems with premature failures of control arms, brakes, etc. Due to rust. I also found out t Jeep is not (has never) notified me of recalls. Aren't they required to do that? then again, they sold me a brand new car without the federally mandated mulroney sticker, and lied to me about the mpg.
