from the day I purchased the vehicle on [XXX] of 2023. I immediately heard a rattling noise coming from the rear end of the vehicle. I also noticed that the transmission had been catching or slipping or missing whenever it transfers gears it is getting worse by the day I have taken it to the original dealership at MNF auto sales in Albuquerque and I have also taken it to the Larry Miller Jeep in Albuquerque New Mexico. They claim that the only thing wrong with the vehicle is the motor mounts after I left with my vehicle from being repaired, it continues to happen, and the transmission is getting worse day by day , I am afraid if I keep driving it much longer that it may cause an accident or damage the vehicle severely. I am trying to work with the dealership and they are telling me that multiple people have looked at it and that there’s nothing wrong with it however, that is false information , my vehicle has been in the service department for over 10 days at two different locations and basically the main dealership where I bought it from is telling me that they do not want to look at it and that it’s the type of transmission I have and there’s nothing wrong.

Overtime, the jeep has gotten worse when accelerating. When accelerating, the jeep will keep jerking like it's slipping gears. It will occur accelerating on a street or while on the highway.

Takata recall the TCM on my jeep patriot short-circuited out of nowhere and now it causes my transmission gears to slip while I'm driving and makes my rpms rev really high wow my acceleration is minimum meaning when I put my foot on the pedal and press the rpms jump really high and my car barely even picks up speed I was driving on a city street and all of a sudden I felt something was wrong that's when I noticed the rpms revving really really high while my car was slowing down it's never done it before and it causes traffic because my vehicle will run real slow and takes almost me having to put my pedal to the ground just so I can speed up enough to get out of the way so when I got home I hooked up an obd monitor to my car and it said lost TCM communication now I can't even drive my car because I'm afraid I'm going to blow up the engine or something

While driving the car runs rough. I've scanned the car and no codes come up. I was driving and the etc light flashed and it felt like the time went out. I was afraid that my car went out of time. While driving and shifting the transmission sometimes slips out of gear prematurely. I was driving straight when all of these problems happened.

Vehicle started slipping in gear. Within day and a half of first signs of gear not catching, the vehicle grinds down the clutch and no longer went stationary and no longer would drive. Only has 49000 miles. Driven three vehicles in 20 years with ma ual transmission and never had problems like this. At the dealership where they won't honor agreed to terms of extended warranty so can't get pics

Tire pressure sensor light has been on since car was bought new, had it checked by dealer and they said it would go off after driven a few miles. Engine light came on around 50k miles and before I could get it checked it went off. I was told the only way the computer could detect the problem was if the light was on. It has came on and gone back off several times. Now it has came on at 90k miles and the I had it checked and was told I had a bad crankshaft sensor and a bad camshaft sensor. Now the transmission has started slipping at 90k miles. I'm also on my 3rd set of tires on the front because the front end will not stay aligned
