Seat Belt Problems of 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).

The driver side seatbelt is buckled and will release without the release button being pressed. This has happened on several occasions. When a driver can not count on the support and protection of their seatbelt their life is at greater risk every time they get behind the wheel.

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.

No dash lights, in my way to work someone cut into my(crossed solid line) lane and my vehicle hit the rear end of the vehicle that cut into my lane. Going around 55 and wearing my seatbelt, slammed on the breaks, couldn't go around without flipping my car so we collided. The front end of my car was completely destroyed and the airbags did not deploy. I am this cars second owner after my father bought it new & if he knew it would almost kill his daughter in 12 years he never would have bought it. It had no accident history and had been told the recall was fixed when it very obviously was not. We had a rep from Chrysler come and pull the crash data, and he tried to tell me there was no reason for the airbags to go off. The entire front of my car was crushed, there is no possible way they should not have triggered for the severity of the accident I was in. I smashed my head so hard on the steering wheel that I blacked out, broke my eye socket and suffered a severe concussion. I have photos/accident reports and Chrysler has the data from my car. I also think my dad has a copy of this data. I'm so so lucky I didn't die, this is absolutely a defective airbag component and something absolutely needs to be done. It's so incredibly dangerous and at this point with all of the similar incidents it would be neglectful not to open an investigation as people have died as a result of this defect.

Recall number: 13v-233 and recall number: 16v-668 call dealer to have the recalls fixed, and they took my information saying they would call, but they never did. Now the problem has kept me from having the registration up dated. Resulting in getting thickets for driving with expired tags.

While driving, loss of power. Was driving 60 mph, lost power and car would not accelerate, but rpms would hit 6k. Had to change altenator. With brand new altenator I got 90 miles . Then car would only hit 20 mph , and rpms would hit 6k with no acceleration. Pull over and sit 5 minutes then car would accelerate normal. But the problem happens everytime I start car and go to drive. Have read that the has been an ecu and other issues and recalls for it with many others complaining. I was on highway. There seems to be an issue with the radio as it with the vehicle turned off and no key in ignition, the stereo makes noise like it's trying to work. Feel veryvunsage and it seems to be a manufacturing issue as the vehicle only has 90k miles .

Bought Jeep in 2018 since then it has had intermittent cruise control problems. Sometimes it works sometimes it dont. Sometimes it works then quits working. Drivers seat belt will be buckled and come unbuckled have to rebuckle intermittently. Burning smell intermittently dont know if its oil, coolant or what was supposed to be fixed by Jeep who said it was leaky coolant still occurs. All of this has occurred while on the road.

Every time I fill up with gas the car makes it to the first stop sign and then just dies. I start it up and start to drive it and it dies again. I have to sit in one spot and keep trying to drive hoping it won't die and I will get hit.

The seat belt in my Jeep does not remain buckled some times I have to put it the receiving part several time before it clicks in and some times I will be driving down the road and it unbuckles a quick google search brings up multiple other people with the same problem I have been in another Jeep Patriot and the driver had trouble getting it to buckle so I have personally experienced it in two different but same year Jeep Patriots.

Front seatbelts will just unbuckle after you've buckled. The Jeep wont accelerate, it wont shift until 3 1/2 grand, between 0-40 mph it chugs & almost dies, once above 40 its usually fine. The dealer says things are fine. What is wrong and why wont these issues come up on diagnostics? the tire low sensor is always on - even after new tires & they reset it. No wonder the warranty length was lowered. Brakes became sqeaky around 6 months. One owner - me unfortunately.

When I put my seatbelt on it comes undone while I am driving. It seems like it does not latch properly. It does not do this everytime. I have to pull my seatbelt to test and make sure it has latched. If I was ever to get in an accident, I would be worried that it would not hold.

Also my front and back subfram is totally rusted out and they want to charge me for a whole lot of other things to do something with this. Help please I need to feel safe in my vehicle.

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.

I was at work in a 2017 Jeep Patriot company vehicle. I am a field worker and was traveling north on schaefer hwy to a clients home.

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

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. While driving 25 mph at night, the rear passenger seat belt malfunctioned. Upon coming to a complete stop, the seat belt gradually tightened around the child. The contact made multiple attempts to loosen the seat belt and had to cut it to remove the child from the restraint system. A dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 72,872.

Passenger seat belt retracted so tight my son was unable to get out of the vehicle. He was unable to breath. The seat belt had to be cut. The car was not in motion. I had to ask a police officer for assistance.

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.

I have two non verbal autstic boys, I heard my son gasping I pulled over and the rear seat belt had retracted under his rib cage, I kicked out the booster seat and lifted him into my leg higher to attempt to pull the belt, he could not breath, it only got tighter and the tension was so tight the lap lock would not release, I called 911, they had no choice but to cut the belt. It only got tighter. The dealership guy checked the other belt and said it only locks also when it wants, and remember me complaining to him the day I bought it. At this time it's in shottenkirk at mount pleasant iowa I'm in a loaner, Chrysler assigned a case manager and I've heard nothing, the sales guy said report it because Chrysler will sweep it under the rug, my autistic child now has to be re taught to get back into a car, he is terrified, I did get him to his doctor.

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.

If the wheel bearing needed to be replaced. Was told it was a defect. March 2018 gasket needed to be replaced. Again was told it was a defect. Both times had to pay a hundred dollars deducted.

The system that monitors whether a passenger is in the passenger seat malfunctions and causes the seatbelt to show unbuckled therefore turning the airbag off in case of an accident. This specific piece of equipment has been recalled on similar vehicles in the same year but my VIN was not selected and my dealership wanted me to pay in order to fix it because it was a safety risk.

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.

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.

When a person sits down and buckles up on the front passenger seat the seat belt sensor chimes. It doesn't matter if the engine is off/on or in motion when the seat belt is buckled the seat belt chime will go activate. The passenger seat belt sensor is malfunctioning. The seat belt signal goes off randomly when a passenger is riding while wearing the seat belt.
