Service Brakes Problems of Jeep Patriot - part 1

I changed my brakes, and caliper myself because it was time for my brakes, and the caliper was hard to get off, so I replaced it. It felt like my brakes were still sticking, I took it to three repair shops and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Finally I took it to a repair shop because my brakes were making noise by this time. They replaced the pads, rotors, and caliper. When I picked it up from the shop and was driving home I smelled a burning smell and pulled over and my car was on fire. I had to put it out before it spread to the rest of my car. They had to replace the brake line and now it’s okay. I didn’t have any warning lights on my dash go off, I have receipts for the repair shops and parts. This is definitely a safety concern because if I would have associated that smell with the new brakes and didn’t pull over, it could have been a lot worse. Ignore the receipt for the Ford brakes, I couldn’t delete it.

When I purchased the vehicle I'm still making payments on it. I went to get my brakes done and rotors the mechanic noticed that there were no emergency brakes on the vehicle they were weld off and I called car lock they said I had to get that fixed it isn't under warranty. How you sell me a unsafe vehicle with no emergency brakes. I have only had this vehicle 3 months.

Vehicle at random engage in breaks. This was the problem from day one and is now. I think someone need to be hold accountable for this automatic crap. This is goings-on problem in last 3 vehicle I had. Rustay wearing / display random images on the dashboard. No abs or traction control. This is dangerous when driving, making car unstable on some occasion. Deler refuse to sell me vehicle! please tell me how I can get legal exemption from all electronics I do not need and endanger my live. One more federal law requires mechanical speed limit to be 85mph. Where can I get car that is safe to drive at rinsible price?.

After filling up gas tank and driving for about a mile, vehicle stutters and stalls. During this, the brakes are difficult to work and the steering goes out. This has happened after filling gas tank many times, most recently in the middle of a busy street where I was almost rear ended. Afterward, I shut the vehicle off and then restart. It has a slow start, and the problem sometimes happens one or two additional times, but then runs fine until the next time I have to fill up the gas tank. The vehicle has been inspected and no solution was found. There were no warnings before this happened.

There is some sort of electrical issue. Things keep going in and out: internal lights, cruise control, turn signals in front and back go out 6-9 times a year, abs light stays on even after it was serviced, the radio goes in and out. I lose power while driving snd allow the car to sit for a day or two and it cuts back on like nothing ever happened.

My abs module has gone out, giving me an unsafe Jeep Patriot, now with zero abs or traction control, major issue in tampa driving! apparently, according to the dealer here, they're on "galactic back order" for a few years now; I couldn't even find one at a used parts store in the area. . . Had to resort to ebay, having it installed at the dealership this week, who says they'll install it (janet) but they won't guarantee they can program it and it will reset those dash lights?!?! they can't guarantee it? then something needs to be figured out to guarantee I have a working Jeep, complete with abs and traction control. This is a major, according to several people I've spoken with but there's no recall? if something is on back-order for the dealership for years, something needs to be done, you have Jeep customers riding around unsafely in vehicles they purchased with safety features, feel free to call for more details. Shane shephard 540-355-7777 p. S. I'll have a receipt after I go to the Jeep dealer this week, have it installed with no guarantee, but it'll be in. . . Might not work, but it'll be in. . . And that's good enough?!?!?!?!.

Abs and other lights flashed on the dashboard, the vehicle slowed as if the brakes were pressed. And then it happens several more times before getting home. I brought the vehicle and saw there was a failure of the left rear abs sensor. Upon looking the sensor is just sitting loose and the clip is rusted out and the sensor has no slot to press into. Upon research I see that this clip rusting out is a problem in these and it is very obviously a safety problem as for whatever reason the brakes engage when the sensor is faulty.

When the abs wheel sensor detaches from it's mounting point on the transaxle (I. E. From rust) but is still in proximity to the tone wheel, the intermittent signals sent to the abs system causes unpredictable, uncontrolled application of the brakes while driving. This could very likely cause an accident as the car will brake without the brake lights illuminating resulting in a following vehicle crashing into the car. Also, unexpected braking could easily cause loss of control of the vehicle. There were yellow (not red) warning lights on the instrument cluster indicating that there was a problem with the abs/anti-skid / 4wd drive system. The warning lights appeared several days before the braking behavior was observed.

Brakes are locking up to a point that it feels like the car is in lower gear. It feels like the car is pulling back when you exhilarate. The rotor is turns bright red and you can smell the burning.

I would like to know if the vehicle was in the flood of 2020 1st of all. I've had this vehicle in many times before I was told there was no maintenance work done prior to me buying it from a dealer. Been addressing a bad odder upon starting the vehicle for over a year. The smell is in the cab also. Now being told it could be the catalytic converter @ 51,000 miles on the vehicle. I've already spent over $1,300. 00 to cover normal maintenance that was never done by the dealer I bought the vehicle from. My extended warranty ran out a month or so ago. This has put my life in danger being I'm breathing exhaust/ fumes. Please advise & thank you.

Yes components available for inspection/ yes sold by dealership with undisclosed problems/ yes problems confirmed by dealer/ no component inspected. 1st noticed foul smell upon starting vehicle/ failure to start/ chugging/ brakes noise/ smell inside cab. Been verified noted vehicle was in flood??? all occurred beginning 2022. Could not get the vehicle in till 03/23. All dealerships backed up wait out 8 weeks.

First the hood light came on-then the emergency brake light-then the air bag light-now my headlights wont go off. It was diagnosed as a faulty tipm. I'm concerned the air bags might be deployed creating a major safety issue I've heard there are numerous complaints on tipm's and that there may be a recall. Is that true?.

My car hesitates and will jolt when trying to accelerate as well as stall when I am driving 50+ mph sometimes and completely shut off causing me to have to put it in park, turn it off and turn it back on again while I am in the middle of driving which increases the risk of an accident and I feel extremely unsafe.

I bought my 2015 Jeep Patriot on July 4, 2020. Every since I've had my truck, there has been problems. I have taken my truck to 4 mechanics and they can't seem to find a problem. Also the dealership that I got the truck from has not even tried to contact me back about them fixing it for me. I'm stuck with a vehicle that doesn't work at this point.

Water in front dome light suddenly after several months. Dripping down dashboard and cause electrical problems. Stationary vehicle with no leaks in sunroof bought 01/2020. 08/2020 first occurrence, damage to lights on ac and heat controls. Less than 2500 miles driven since bought at a dealership no disclosure at time of purchase.

Multiple warning lights indicate the vehicle routinely lost contact with anti-lock brake module, wheel distance, and speed while both stationary and in motion.

I made a u-turn in my vehicle on a town street , as I completed the u-turn the vehicles rear suspension broke. The broken suspension made the vehicle feel like it was going over a rumble strip, the suspension being broke made the wheels turn in towards the wheel wells where it rubbed and eventually blew my tire. I was looking for a place to pull off safely. When I finally got it too a auto shop they told me the suspension rusted in two . It had to be moved with a flat bed. I had the vehicles front fixed in January of 2017 . Which was under the extended warranty because of complaints so the vehicles rear took an extra three years to rust out which is only two years over the warranty. I have enclosed a copy of bill from when then front was done.

My wife was driving the Jeep and it turned off on her twice trying to get it back home. All electrical went out and engine stalled. After the second time it only goes 10 mph and still stalls and powers off. It is very dangerous and I feel something should be done from the number of complaints on the web.

This has happened twice now in 3 days. After fully filling my fuel tank and then driving away from the pump my Jeep Patriot stalls before I hit 3/10 of a mile from the gas station. Contrary to some other reports of this issue, that I have read, as well as the explanation of the issue posted on the NHTSA website, from fca, this does not happen only at idle. Rather it happens while I am driving. When my Jeep stalls I also lose the ability to fully steer (can only turn the wheel appx 1/4 turn) and braking does not work as well as it normally does. When it happened today I ended up mounting a curb and sidewalk in a residential area. The street I was on was turning but I couldn't turn with it. If I had not engaged the emergency/parking brake I would have driven through a chain link fence and into a home. Once I restarted my Jeep and backed off of the curb the engine stalled again while my Jeep was in motion. Luckily I was barely moving and already had my hand on the emergency/parking brake. When I restarted my Jeep the next time I revved the engine to 3,000rpm for appx 1 minute while my Jeep was in park. My Jeep did not stall after that for the rest of today. Tomorrow may be another story. I see in this form there is the ability to upload photos but I did not know about this being an existing safety issue or the ability to report it before now. As a result there are no photos of my Jeep on a curb about to crash into someone's house. With the number of reports of this issue having already been made to the NHTSA I am shocked that a mandatory safety recall was not demanded.

I just purchased this car from a car lot with unknown issues sure enough a few weeks in I start to notice the jerking when I press the breaks and the hesitation to start as well and steering and noises coming from under the hood that auto shops could not figure out the reasoning behind. I need answered. I believe this car should have been on the recall list. There has to have been some king of mistake not putting it on there.

Transmission.

I bought my used Jeep Patriot a year and a half ago. In the beginning it would jerk on acceleration. Now is accelerates on its own. Big clunking noise shortly after starting to drive. Looses power at times. Abs, traction control, brake, 4x4 lights all are on. Tailgate stopped opening and now the body creaks a lot.

Going to pennsylvania from georgia, wheels locked and abs, traction and 4 wheel drive light came on. Speed limit was 70, my car just locked the wheels. Went to a dealer got problem fixed. Then coming back from florida on 5/ 25/2019. Same thing happen again. This time the wheels locked and I slid until the car stopped. I'm a disabled veteran, have seen unsafe things. This is going to kill someone. The mechanics tell me Jeep knows this is happening. God help us that drive these vechiles. To poor to buy a new one.

I bought a Jeep thru randy wise durand 3 monthss ago. Since buying it is has been relaired w or 3 times for the enginee randomly stopping while driving. This past time I was on the highway going 70 with a semi behind me when the engine for no reason just stopped running. We were almost killed because the Jeep went from 70 to 0 with a semi behind us that almost slammed us. It just "shuts off" when it feels like it. Randy wise has not offered a replacement and cannot seem to fix it. A witness is available.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Jeep Patriot. While driving 60-70 mph, the engine lost power, the vehicle decelerated, and the contact lost control of the brakes. Additionally, the transmission would not move into gear and the vehicle remained stationary on the shoulder. The throttle, fill cap, and check engine warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but the test could not read the codes. The vehicle was not repaired. Days later, the failures recurred. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 108,000.

Problem recurring on highway and city streets. At all speeds from idle to 75 mph. The latest was on highway driving 75 mph car dropped down to 30 mph and then stalled causing me to lose power steering and braking and almost an accident. The problem is well known to the Jeep manufacturer as stated by dealership. They said the throttle body/ software is the issue and occures in models from 2008 - current then verbally quoted me $650 for repair. I then researched online and found more than 2500 people with the issue and that's just people looking for help.
