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

MY ABS, ESP BAS, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WENT ON ON MY DASH SHOWING THAT MY VEHICLES SAFETY FEATURES ARE DISABLED. I HAD JUST HAD THE SENSOR MODULE THAT CONTROLS THESE LIGHTS REPLACED BACK IN DECEMBER 2015 AT AN EXPENSE OF $1266. NOW 7 MONTHS LATER AND 6000 MILES LATER THE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY AND CLAIM I WILL HAVE TO PAY AGAIN TO HAVE THE REPAIRS MADE. WHO KNOW HOW LONG THIS REPAIR WOULD LAST AS THE JEEP PARTS ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND THEIR ARE MANY MORE COMPLAINTS ON-LINE ABOUT THEM. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF JEEP OWNERS DRIVING AROUND WITH THEIR SAFETY CONTROLS DISABLED BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT AFFORD THESE COSTLY REPAIRS...OR CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THEM MORE THEN ONCE! JEEP SHOULD HAVE TO HONOR THESE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL THE DEFECTIVE PARTS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, PATRIOT BEGAN TO MAKE A WEIRD NOISE AND WHEN BRAKING ON ANY INCLINE THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD FELL AS THOUGH IT WAS BOUNCING AND YOU COULD HEAR A TICKING NOISE FROM PASSENGER FRONT AREA OF CAR. SHORTLY AFTER THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER HAVING THE CAR SCANNED AT A LOCAL SHOP, IT WASN'T READING WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY RESET COMPUTER AND AFTER DRIVING OVER 20MPH, THE LIGHTSCAME BACK ON. I RECENTLY TOOK IT INTO A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP WHERE THEY ANALYZED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND BRAKE SYSTEM. THE BACK RIGHT PASSENGER TIRE ABS SENSOR HAD FAILED AND NEEDS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND BALL JOINTS ON THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE ESTIMATING COST TO FIXES AROUND $1000.00 FOR A CAR WITH 57,500 MILES NOW. *TR
