2017 Jeep Patriot Complaint Log

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.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WOK IN A JEEP PATRIOT 2017 ON A CITY STREET THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK SUDDENLY AND THE SPEED INCREASED RAPIDLY UNCONTROLLABLY. TWO VEHICLES HIT ME GOING THRU AN INTERSECTION AND THE JEEP PATRIOT VEHICLE RAN INTO A WAREHOUSE GOING THRU 2 METAL DOORS AND A BRICK WALL WITHOUT ANY AIR BAGS DEPLOYING. THE JEEP PATRIOT COMPLETELY WENT INTO THE WAREHOUSE AND WAS STOPPED BY HITTING A LARGE PILLAR.

THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO NOT START WHEN IT'S SUPPOSE TO. IT WAS CHECKED AND STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END OF THE CAR WAS SENT TO FIX AND THE NOISE STILL PERSIST BECAUSE OF THE PART THAT THE COMPANY ORDERED IS NOT LUBING. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAVE A NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT WHEN YOU TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS EVER SINCE MY 30DAY MARK WAS UP TO RETURN IT. HOWEVER WHEN I RETURN THE DEALER WITH THE ISSUE ITS LIKE HE FELT LIKE I WAS LYING SO I CAN GET A BETTER VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS STILL GIVING ME PROBLEMS UP TO THIS DAY. I EVEN WENT TO GET HELP FOR THEN TO ACTUALLY FIX THE CAR AND MY CASE WAS THROWN OUT THE WINDOW LIKE IT DID NOT MATTER. I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS VEHICLE MONTHLY AND I FEEL LIKE I DID NOT GET TO ENJOY MY VEHICLE BEFORE IT STARTED TO GIVE 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.

FROST WAS ON WINDSHIELD AND BACK WINDOW. I TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER TO CLEAR WINDOW. THE REAR WINDOW HAS AN EMBEDDED WIPER. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES WE PARKED THE VEHICLE. JUST AFTER EXITING THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED LIKE A GUNSHOT. THE CENTER OF THE WINDOW HAD DISINTEGRATED LEAVING A ROUGHLY RECTANGULAR SHAPE. THE BOTTOM OF THE MISSING GLASS RECTANGLE WENT DOWN TO THE IMBEDDED WIPER. THE JEEP PATRIOT WAS RENTED FROM ENTERPRISE CAR RENTALS. LICENSE NUMBER HMJ3405 UNIT NUMBER 7N3MKQ

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM A JEEP DEALER IN 2017. I NOTICED LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT SENSOR WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THE SEAT BELT SIGNAL GOES OFF RANDOMLY WHEN A PASSENGER IS RIDING WHILE WEARING THE SEAT BELT. MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAS INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY AS WELL AS A FEAR OF ALARMS OF MANY TYPES, INCLUDING THE SEAT BELT SIGNAL. IT IS MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE, IT'S AN ONGOING ANNOYANCE.
