Wiring Problems of Jeep Patriot

The unsealed main relay box is positioned directly below the lead-acid battery which leaks directly onto the cover, enters the relay box and destroys the leg and wiring connected to the automatic shutdown relay. This can occur both as the vehicle is operating or cause a no-crank/no-start situation, immobilizing the vehicle. In our case, the first time it occurred was in a parking lot but the issue is well documented on the internet and there are myriad youtube videos on the issue for many Jeep and fca vehicles. This is enough of a known issue that fca has not addressed for many years now and we just paid $460. 00 for the dealer to move the affected relay from the box to a less vulnerable location. It occurred a few times before the wiring failed completely, and in our case was in a stationary condition each time fortunately.

While randomly driving my check engine light and throttle light comes on. I've had my car to the dealer multiple times. The codes are p2135 and p0121. Dealer said they can't find anything wrong. They didn't clear the code. Went home and slept, next morning the lights are off. This has been a continuous issue. They replaced the throttle body December 2018, my gas pedal 2 months ago and part of my computer over a month ago and this is still happening. I've read in a bunch of forums this is common but no one has a solution. Dealer said my wiring harness was fine and they can't find the problem but don't want to replace the throttle position sensor even though it's under warranty. Help.

Turning lights on in the car and the dash lights flash 5 - 6 times then go out. Doesn't matter if vehicle is stationary or moving when this occurs. Headlights, radio & dome light still work as well as turn signals and 4-way flashers. When lights are on, I do not have any running lights, tail lights, interior dash lights or cup holder lights. Checked all fuses and all checked good. All indications point to bad totally integrated power module (tipm). Vehicle is 2 years old with no after market wiring. Not having running or tail lights is a big safety issue/concern.

Due to the recall on the air bag module the fuse blew out causing the wiring harness to catch fire burning up the whole harness and if replaced the problem will still persist due to no part for the air bag module was driving down the road and have to pull over and call the fire department.

Sunroof leaks badly causing water to pour out of dome light and other places. Leaving everything water soaked and musty smelling. Can not be good for electrical wiring. Their has to be something done about this too many complaints and on many different years of Jeeps. I cannot believe they just keep making them and getting by with so many vehicles still all have the same problem. Someone could get hurt really bad if it causes a fire. Something needs done.

2009 Jeep Patriot. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle sunroof design assembly flaw. The consumer stated water was leaking from the sunroof area. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on 05/17/12. They repaired a seal at a cost of $ 212. 93. The consumer discovered that his make, model and year had a design/assembly flaw that was addressed in a Chrysler technical service bulletin. According to the bulletin, the sunroof assembly was not installed correctly which caused water to leak inside. The TSB gave specific procedures on how to fix the problem, and gave an estimate time of 13 hours to fix. The consumer stated the dealer did not follow the TSB; they merely repaired a seal. The consumer returned to the dealer. However, they claimed the sunroof was not leaking. The consumer returned a month later, and the dealer re-sealed the roof seams and adjusted the level and weather stripping. The following year, the consumer visited another dealer. That dealer stated the drain hose was not connected properly. The consumer stated he was unable to shift the vehicle out of park. The dealer stated a new computer was needed, which they installed at a cost of $ 1,405. 32. The consumer did some research, and discovered someone else had the same problem and suggested, the fix was simply replacing a damaged wire. The consumer stated at the bottom of his invoice, the dealer replaced the wire, after discovering replacing the computer did not fix the problem.

After snow has melted, the maplight leaks water all over the inside. I'm concerned that there will be wiring issues for the sunroof and the light as well as anything in the dash due to the water going everywhere. Prior issues w/water leaking in the firewall and leaving an inch of water on the drivers floor (3 attempts to get it fixed) resulted in Chrysler paying a portion due to being out of warranty. Water shorted out wires running under the floor for dash lights, anti lock brakes wanted to kick in driving down the road, 4wheel drive woudl not work and the cruise control would not work. Now back to dealing w/water again leaking out the map light, very frustrated and angry!.

4wd! default light came on. Took vehicle to authorized dealership for repair as according to manual. Four trips to first dealership for the initial repairs. Problem resolved told was faulty electrical connection. Since then, 4wd! and esp/bas default lights came on. Took vehicle to another authorized dealership for repairs. Waiting for results. When default occurs the 4wd is disabled w/o warning, thus, causing a hazard when driving.
