Vacuuming vehicle front passenger side, depress lever to push seat back and headrest deployed forward exposing the inside of headrest. Looks like a plastic piece is broken. Can not reset/push headrest back into normal position.

Driving along at speeds of 35 MPH, the engine randomly shut off, locked the steering wheel, and came to a stop. This occurred on a residential street. The next day, the same issue occurred on a state route 28. A manual restart of the vehicle was required each time, and the issue occurs daily. This happened several times at various locations, speeds, times of day, etc. This is a life threatening issue.

Some type of leak not sure it its the coolant, oil, or transmission fluids

I want ro know why the crank sensor isnt a recall. Mine went out this morning and luckily I was in my neighborhood and not on the hwy. It's dangerous and my car just cut off on me. I read this morning and there is quite of few people that had the same issue. There could be parents out there with a car full of kids and it could be extremely hot or cold outside. There should be a recall on this item for safety.

When you accelerate the transmission slips. It doesn't do it all the time but at least 50-60% of the time. It started under the warranty and I had a Dodge dealership look at it and they said they felt it slip but the road was wet so they couldn't say if it was the tranny or the tires slipping on the wet pavement. It has been slipping for the last year at least. After talking to other people who have these patriots they said the same thing (transmission slipping). It does it during acceleration.

As of 12/18/2018, my car has begun to die as I push on the accelerator after being at a complete stop at a stop light or stop sign, it even died out of no where, my husband was driving back home and thankfully there were no other cars behind him as he was passing the intersection when the car jerked and decided to turn of completely. He put it on park and started up like normal but no check engine light came on or anything. Ever since I got this car in february of 2016, take note that my Jeep only has 65000 miles and I have never had any problems with it until now. It is terrifying because each time it has happened, cars behind me were very close to rear ending my car. This is a big and scary issue for me because I have read on numerous websites that their Jeep patriots have died on the hi

Picked it up on 12/5/18 from the dealership after having the cv axle replaced and all of a sudden or according to them "coincidence" my throttle body control has died. It was fine until they worked on it and I was on the way to take my car home and noticed the red lightning bolt light flashing off and on and the jerking and stalling happening, which did not do before they worked on it. Now, I can't get them to fix it without them wanting me to pay for it even though, I wasn't having this issue at all. This is a dangerous issue to have considering I drive down a major highway everyday to work and also take my child to school every day on my way to work. This will result in someone getting killed and the manufacturer and the dealerships need to be held accountable.

The second to the last day of hunting season my husband. And I went up above our house, about 15 miles, we were in light snow, and I could not get the throttle to engage caused us to slide back a little again tried to use throttle to go, my husband saw a wisp of smoke on passenger side, I immediately turned the engine off, my husband looks under where the smoke came from and the rack n pinion boot where on fire, I popped the hood, flames were to hot for him to open the hood. I walked down the road to safety, as my husband got out what he could of our belongings out and into the snow bank. And in that few minutes the flames were inside the cab and windows were exploding, next the tires and the paint etc.....the spare tire also blew from the back of the car. My husband left before the gas

Vehicle fails to start multiple times when the battery and starter are in good condition. Common fixes that are recommended are replacing the wcm or the relay box. Sometimes the vehicle will start after multiple times and leaving the key cranked for 20 seconds+, but this isn't always reliable. Brought it into the shop and they couldnt recreate the issue, so it was never resolved for my case.
