Vehicle at random engage in breaks. This was the problem from day one and is now. I think someone need to be hold accountable for this automatic crap. This is goings-on problem in last 3 vehicle I had. Rustay wearing / display random images on the dashboard. NO ABS or Traction Control. This is dangerous when driving, making car unstable on some occasion. Deler refuse to sell me vehicle! Please tell me how I can get legal exemption from all electronics I do not need and endanger my live. One more Federal law requires mechanical speed limit to be 85MPH. Where can I get car that is safe to drive at rinsible price?
After filling up gas tank and driving for about a mile, vehicle stutters and stalls. During this, the brakes are difficult to work and the steering goes out. This has happened after filling gas tank many times, most recently in the middle of a busy street where I was almost rear ended. Afterward, I shut the vehicle off and then restart. It has a slow start, and the problem sometimes happens one or two additional times, but then runs fine until the next time I have to fill up the gas tank. The vehicle has been inspected and no solution was found. There were no warnings before this happened.
Brakes needed replaced left rear only after 12,000 miles,1rotor was severely chewed up and pads,right side very good condition. Every bump cause pad to rub and stick to rotor.
I have to protest to call stability control to be safe device. In over 120 000 miles on the tiers I replaced if remember right: 6 sets of breaks sets, 5 new new rotors, 2 calipers breaks assemble, front house breaks line. Driving on the straight highway the vehicle suddenly engage the breaks at random. Some time making me see sick. I remember driving 60 miles an hour the brakes engage nearly pushed me in to another car. Recently travel to mouton regain. The breaks slowing me down. For no know cause. I noticed danger pater too. When I make a turn in the winding road, the car is getting extremely dangers. The car braking down when I intend to accelerate. This collision of interest resulting in: my transmission is down steps good, the RPM go to extreme. First from 1,500 race to 2000 then 3000 then 5000 slowing down the car. When finely breaks are released it kick like a mule trying to force me of the route. Don't know way any one need that tip of traction control?. This is my second vehicle in the row, that have computer problem to. Random action on in and out components. The last one dodge acclaim forced to trade in because computer replacement did not solved problem, I tested ABS breaks on slow speed. It was only a test 10 miles an hour. I end up I ditch. It was a winter snow. Only a test, miner damage to plastic fender. Is it passable to return to regular breaks, that work. The engine control unit prohibit that action sanction by state inspection. ( no inspection can be pass when warning light is on). Can any way I can get replacement for: generic computer? Generic breaks system? Maybe I can get waive for installation of that system? I am a industrial mechanic by trade and passion. Can easy wired any components I need. [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Bought with 33000 miles. The brakes make loud noise when backing up first drive of the day.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep patriot. The contact heard a grinding noise coming from the rear wheels and the rear rotors were extremely hot. The vehicle was taken to dick poe chrysler/jeep (6501 montana ave, el paso, tx 79925) on two occasions and they replaced the rear brake pads. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.
Ever since buying my 2014 jeep patriot the brakes have been faulty. If I drive over a bumpy road and slowly press on my brakes to slow down it becomes very faulty and the pedal feels as if I am breaking through the ground. I have to quickly release, wait till I am on flat ground and press on the brakes again to have a better grip on braking. This also happened when I had to brake abruptly. The car overall is fine, it's just the brakes have been acting up since the beginning. And it doesn't matter if I'm on the freeway or in a residential area, I always need to be aware of this because it always happens. The jeep has a manual transmission but I don't think that should matter because my roommate has the same exact car but an automatic and she has the same exact issue with her car as well. Car was in motion when this happens.
Brakes needed replaced left side only at 30,000 miles,1rotor and pads,right side very good condition
My 2014 jeep patriot over the last several months seems to be losing power while driving. For example when on the on ramp attempting to enter the interstate , it just feels like its almost running out of gas and RPM's will go up to 5-6 .I am almost afraid of being ran over when accelerating during any situation. Also my brakes from day one have always squeeked... I've taken it in to have it checked , they have cleaned and days later the same think. And the drums on rear are even worse, more of a grinding sound, but also I have been told they are fine. This noise is not normal . I have also had a few incidents where say sitting in traffic with my foot on the brake it will switch from manual to standard. It will be in drive then I will look and it will be in d 1. I have to manually push the shifter over to go back to normal drive.
