2015 Jeep Patriot Problems

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that the check engine warning light had illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the fuel and the oxygen were not mixing correctly. The dealer confirmed that the throttle body box sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was returned to the dealer, who confirmed that the same failure had reoccurred. The throttle body box sensor was replaced again. The contact stated that after the repair, while starting the vehicle, there was a misfire coming from the engine. The contact made several attempts, but the failure persisted. After turning off the vehicle, waiting for a while, and then restarting the vehicle, the contact was able to drive to the residence. The contact stated that the check engine warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle was returned to the dealer a third time, and the dealer determined that the same part needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,105.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, there was a loud knocking sound coming from the engine. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to Customer Satisfaction Program: S18: (Engine Oil Consumption); however, the vehicle was not included in the program. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.

Pressure plate replaced twice and still not working with only 27301 miles. Went in for routine oil change no problems during the last warranty oil change things start to change. Returned to the dealership to express problem report back oil needed top off. Checked for recalls none reported. Truck continued to drive funny popping out of gear when driving and speed decrease while driving on the interstate. No warning lights or any indication something was wrong. I haven't driven my truck in three years due to dealership not having staff and no one is willing to work on Jeep vehicles. Total waste of money and no support. The sad part the tow truck driver towed my neighbors car and remembered towing my truck and stated he has towed many more since.

Over the past year, the car has had 4 crank position sensors, new pig tails/connectors on the wire harness, a new throttle body, and a new MCM. The Jeep will randomly shut off without warning either at stoplights/traffic or on the highway at speed. While at speed, the car will "restart" itself, but if it stalls while stagnant a manual restart is necessary. When the stalling occurs, warning lights do not appear on the dash. Lately, however; the crank position code P0339 has come up with the check engine light. I recently experienced a crank position sensor code followed by a cylinder 3 misfire which caused the car to go into limp mode. Once I replaced the MCM, the misfire went away. Most recently (today) the car stalled in the middle of an intersection while making a left turn; my [XXX] son was in the car with me. Since it was a stop light, the car was able to be restarted in time, but had it been a stop sign/non-stop oncoming traffic, the situation could have been much worse.

crankshaft went out I replaced it and 5 months later I'm replacing the crankshaft sensor again the 2016 have a recall why dose not the 2015 same issue and it's a problem

My car will pull to the right no matter what I do. Tires rotated, air filled, etc it always pulls to the right hard. My electrical system, lights and radio, flicked on and off by themselves one night and now my radio is dead and lights are dim.

Vehicle pulling to the right when accelerating from complete stop. Excessive vibration noticeable when idling

My car broke down as I was driving with no prior indication or warning. It failed to run when I tried to start it back up, so I had to push it off the road and call for a tow. The shop told me the problem was that the tube-fuel supply line was corroded from the inside and needed to be replaced. I had a similar issue with my brake fluid lines being corroded and needing to be replaced a year prior. How is it these supply lines are built out of such a poor material, that the vehicle barely makes it 10 years/100K miles and they are already failing because the fuel line can't handle fuel and the brake line can't handle brake fluid?

Drivers headrest deployed while vehicle was in my driveway overnight. I could have been injured or it could have cause an accident if the headrest deployed while driving. Many other people online have had this issue with their 2015 Jeep Patroit. No warnings provided and despite an auto repair place stating they cannot repair it but they believe there was a recall for this. I have not found one but there should be. Because I was told it was expensive to replace I did not have it repaired when it occurred sometime in early 2024. No police informed since it occurred while parked in my driveway overnight.

My vehicle's driver side headrest deployed for no reason at all. This happened approximately August 2024. I'm the only person who drives this vehicle. I went into my car and to my surprise I noticed that it had deployed. Since I wasn't driving the vehicle when it deployed , it must have happened when the vehicle was parked in my driveway. November 11, 2024, I brought my vehicle to a repair shop to replace a crankshaft sensor and while the vehicle was there I asked them to reset the headrest. They said that they could not reset it and that the headrest would have to be taken apart in order to fix it and that it would be expensive to fix. So since the headrest was not my priority at the time and I didn't want to spend a lot on it, I told them to not fix it. They also said that Chrysler "might" recall the headrest in December 2024 so to bring it back to them once there is a recall.

The front head rest employed because the part broke inside

Head rest in drivers side deployed while driving home from work today after inspecting it once home seems to have a broken clip

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.

ON JUN 1 2022, MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON , THEN THE BRAKES CAME ON WITHOUT ME APPLYING THEM SEVERAL TIMES, I CALLED THE DEALER SAWYER MOTORS ,AND THE SERVICE MANAGER. SAID THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WITH THIS MODEL TO OTHER CUSTOMERS. I AM A CERTIFIED MECHANIC ALSO SO I PULLED THE FUSES FOR THE ABS SYSTEM SO THE BRAKES WILL NOT COME ON WITHOUT ME APPLYING THEM . THAT STOPPED THE PROBLEM BUT NOW I HAVE NO CRUIZE CONTROL, SPEEDOMETER, OR BACK UP LIGHTS. I CHECKED THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL BEARING HUB AND THE SPEED SENSOR HAD COME OUT OF A WEAK POORLY DESIGNED THIN HOLDING CLAMP ON THE REAR WHEEL HUB. MOST CARS HAVE A MORE SECURE WAY OF HOLDING THIS SENSOR TO THE REAR HUB NOT A THIN SHEET METAL CLIP WHICH RUSTS Away and the sensor just falls out....! causing all these problems and the safety issue.. NOW THE WhOLE HUB HAS TO BE REPLACED AT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS COST.

The transfer case is shot. As well as the rear differential. As a result of the transfer case messing up, the transmission is tore up. We need struts as well.

I noticed a vibration and it felt like the vehicle was shaking at times. This problem increased at higher speeds. I took it to a dealer for inspection and found out the control arms, tie rods, and ball joints were in critical condition and needed to be replaced. This vehicle has less than 50,000 miles on it.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE OF NEW 015 JEEP PATRIOT, WATER STARTED TO PENETRATE INSIDE OF CAR. OMING THROUGH FRONT INTERIOR LAMP. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, FOUND OUT CLOG IN DRAIN OF SUNROOF. 'FIXED' THEN APPX 6 MONTHS LATER, SAE LEAK STARTED. TRIED A DIFFRENT DEALERSHIP TRYING TO ACTUALLY GET IT FIXED FOR GOOD, THEY SAID IT WAS 'FIXED' BUT PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN.

DEALER SAID 'ONLY RESIDUAL AND NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT' I ASKED SEVERAL TIMES AND SUGGESTED THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SUCH TROUBLE FOR TH PAST THREE YEARS. WATER FLOWS ALL DOWN THE DASH AND ELECTRIAL COMPONENTS. IF YOU GOOGLE, YOU WILL SEE HUNDREDS OF PATRIOT OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ONLY 'FIX' THAT DEALERSHIP/'WATER SPECIALISTS ' HAVE EVER PERFORMED IS 'CLEARING CLOG DRAIN OF SUNROOF. I AM NOT SURE WHY IT KEEPS CLOGGING. THE LAST DEALER STATED THAT IT IS GENERAL MAINTENANCE. I HVE OWNED MANY CARS WTH SUNROOFS ND HAVE NEVER HAD TO CLEAR DRAIN AS GENERAL MAINTENTANCE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS IF VEHICLE IS STATIOERY OR IN MOTION. IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJORY HIGHWAY CAUSING GREAT DISTRACTION.

THE CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH STEERING ENGINE HEATING AND NOW THROTTLE.

WHEN IT RAINS WATER LEAKS INTO THE REAR DOME LIGHT AND DRIPS INTO THE INSIDE OF MY JEEP. THE LIGHT DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE OF THIS AND I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD BE AN ELECTROCUTION HAZARD. I CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING IN THE BACK OF MY JEEP THAT COULD BE RUINED BY RAIN WATER.
