2013 Jeep Patriot

When driving down the road the car just shuts off and it’s dangerous especially in busy areas it happens 6 times a day.

Passenger headrest deployed open even though there was no collision

Drivers side head restraint deployed while driving without any viable cause or reason

Drivers side headrest deployed while I was driving.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V668000 (Seat Belts, Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact scheduled an appointment and was informed that parts were on backorder upon arrival. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

The rear sub frame suddenly broke (rusted out) There was a known recall for 2008-2012 Jeep Patriot's, but not 2013 [XXX] I have Photos, but the form wouldn't let me upload them. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Transmission overheat warning , Engine loses power and slows to around 30MPH Poses risk to myself and others on highway because can not accelerate to get out of traffic Has not been confirmed by dealer Has been inspected by mechanic The hot transmission warning light comes on.This has been going on several years

The passenger headrest AHR has deployed a couple years ago while parked. I tried working with the dealer for the past year to get it fixed under a recall. The dealer said it was covered for a limited time but no longer is covered. I do not understand why that is. It seems this should be covered under a recall and is a safety issue.

Cat converter below threshold bank 1 check engine light code read on obd2. Loss of power and acceleration, sluggish and unable to drive at highway speeds. Poor shifting and temperature ran higher then usual.

The CVT fluid filler tube broke where the braket is, about 12 inches broke off. Dont know how long its been broken, I found it when I was changing the Electronic Throttle Body. This has happened to a lot of autos in the Chrysler family. Go to any Chrysler auto forum, I guarantee this will be something that has happened to 1 if not more people. Just google "broken cvt fluid filler tube" and it will all come up. This has to be a manufacture defect. Happening to too many people. They break at the same place, the bracket, no warning light indicator....nothing! It is usually found when something else is being done under the hood, then you see the broken piece just laying there. Thanking the Lord you and your family are ok, because had this piece of metal tubing broke off and went flying anything could have happened. This situation has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center nor has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance rep. I am providing pictures of the piece that broke off. I bought the vehicle used in July 2021, have had my vehicle serviced twice and noone has ever noticed the broken tube, I had to replace my battery in October 2021never noticed the broken piece. Only until I personally replaced the Electronic Throttle Body did I find the broken tube. And that was done yesterday Feb 19, 2022.

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while attempting to refuel the vehicle, the vehicle would only allow the tank to be half full before shutting off the pump. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the roll-over valve was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V142000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 58,000.

The CVT transmission is failing before 60k miles and overheating during normal driving conditions. There were 2 prior owners before me and no vehicle history as to why it was traded into a dealer. No matter what I do the transmission heats rapidly and can only dissipate the heat would be to turn the heat on full blast.

THE SUNROOF LEAKS AND WATER POURS DOWN FROM THE FRONT OVERHEAD LIGHTS ONTO THE DASH, INTO THE RADIO AND SEEPS INTO THE FRONT CARPETS. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME THERE IS RAIN, WHETHER THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR MOVING.

I CAN NOT FILL THE GAS TANK VERY FAST WITH OUT THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF CHANGED ALL OTHER GAS FILTERS THE PROBLEM I'VE BEEN TOLD IS A FAULTY ROLL OVER VALVE INSIDE THE GAS TANK I'VE BEEN TOLD ITS COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE AND MAYBE YOU COULD OPEN AN INVESTIGATION TO FIX THE PROBLEM WILL COST $800 TO $1300 BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR FOUR MONTHS AND HAVE DEALT WITH IT BUT WITH WINTER HERE ITS A LOT EXTREME

I HAVE A 2013 JEEP PATRIOT AND THE ENGINE AND TEMPERATURE LIGHT COMES ON; ON TOP ON THAT IT STARTS TO DECREASE IN SPEED SLOWING DOWN OUT OF NOWHERE I JUST STARTED FINANCING THIS VEHICLE AND READ REVIEWS THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ON REPEAT SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON TRYING TO REPAIR THE SAME ISSUES. IT'S DEFINITELY A HAZARD THAT IS NOT A SOLID FIX. HOPEFULLY ME REACHING OUT CAN HELP MY PROBLEM AND OTHERS. I AM USING THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT IT'S SAFE AND SECURES MY FINANCES AS WELL. *TR

OVER SEVERAL WEEKS I HAD BEEN SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING UPON EXITING MY PATRIOT. FINALLY I NOTICED MY REAR BUMPER WAS MISSHAPEN. IT WAS MELTING! MY LOCAL CAR SERVICE SHOP TOOK A LOOK AND FIGURED OUT MY EXHAUST PIPE HAD MOVED AND LODGED INTO MY BUMPER. ALL THE HEAT MELTED THE BUMPER. I'M HONESTLY SURPRISED THERE WASN'T A FIRE STARTED. THE MAN WHO LOOKED AT MY PATRIOT TOLD ME THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEPS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 35 MPH - DRIVERS HEADREST DEPLOYED AND HIT HUSBAND IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD. SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. HEADREST SPLIT. A PLASTIC PIECE WAS BROKEN OFF AND IT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH A 'FILL UP', UPON STARTING AND DRIVING, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO START 'BUCKING' AND LOSE POWER TO ACCELERATE. I LOOKED THIS UP AND SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM THAT EITHER DO NOT FILL THEIR TANKS ALL THE WAY ANYMORE OR CORRECTED IT BY REPLACING THEIR TANK SINCE THEY SAY THIS IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN WHEN FUEL GETS PULLED INTO A CANISTER OR CONTAINER THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PUSH OUT VAPOR BUILD UP ONLY, BUT PULLS FUEL BACK IN AND CHOKES OUT. DON'T KNOW IF I AM CORRECT ON THIS LANGUAGE SINCE ONLY GOING BY WHAT OTHER PEOPLE POST. PLEASE HAVE JEEP LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY HAZARD AND RECALL IF NECESSARY SO I DO NOT HAVE TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE A TANK. THANK YOU.

THIS VEHICLE DIES CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. DOESNT MATTER THE SPEED, 5MPH OR 75MPH, IT WILL DIE OUT OF NO WHERE. ITS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY ACCIDENTS THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED. IT APPARENTLY IS A KNOWN AND FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THESE SUV'S THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED! I'VE HAD DIFFERENT CODES COME UP AT DIFFERENT TIMES. FROM CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR TO O2 SENSOR TO THROTTLE BODY TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE FUEL MILEAGE IS SUDDENLY TERRIBLE OUT OF NO WHERE AS WELL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. EVERYWHERE I'VE READ ABOUT PEOPLE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP JUST COMES OUT WORSE SO I'M TERRIFIED TO TAKE IT TO JEEP THEMSELVES!

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HE THEN TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FOR MY CAR BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF IT.
