2015 JEEP PATRIOT Unknown Or Other Problems

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.

The front head rest employed because the part broke inside

Vehicle engine stopped while driving. This could lead to potential danger. Started about 1 year ago.

My 2015 Jeep Patriot randomly loses power to the engine/stalls out nearly every time I make a trip. More specifically, the RPMs will suddenly drop to zero. This has happened at every speed from 10 mph to 80 mph. Often I have to pull over, take the key out and lock/unlock the doors several times to get the engine to start back up. I have been stranded for as long as 45 minutes to an hour waiting for the vehicle to become operable again.

Key takeaways from the information you’ve provided: 1.Your engine’s RPM drops to zero randomly while driving and idling. 2.The engine loses power, accompanied by the traction control light flashing. 3.Power steering is lost within 10 seconds after the power loss. 4.Transmission range sensor (NSS) was replaced, but there might be an adjustment issue. 5.Shifting from reverse to neutral is difficult, while shifting from drive to neutral is fine. 6.Taillights don’t change during difficulty shifting down from reverse. 7.A code reader showed an ABS code: c1221 after the NSS replacement. 8.The negative terminal clamp may need replacement. 9.Engine issues might be related to temperature or transmission shifts.

My transmission failed while going 65 on the interstate with no warning. The only warning lights that were on, was the check engine light and the overheat light, which only came on about 30 seconds before transmission failure. The vehicle lost all power, which made it reduce speed, extremely fast, and wouldn’t gain speed at all which almost caused the vehicle behind me to hit me at a high rate of speed. I had a hypersensitive special needs child in my car at the time, and the very loud, high pitch whiny noises has actually had him struggling since it happened. I am in extremely bad health as well, with a heat intolerance and this jeep stranded myself, and my special needs child on the side of the interstate for approximately two hours because I was out of town and had to wait for someone to travel to me. Temp that day was approximately 90 degrees. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle was checked out by two service centers, one being a certified Jeep dealership, and both confirmed that my transmission failed due to overheating transmission because of hot weather, and that was an ongoing issue with other patriots as well. Spent about three hours, trying to get a hold of Jeep, the representatives are rude and disrespectful, and they wanted me to pay more money for a specific diagnostic test that they required because it would better help them, but not benefit me at all.

The airbag light is on and I am afraid it will deploy at any time. The dealership and manufacturer say the part they need is on backorder with the supplier, but it has been 3 months since the problem was diagnosed, so it has not been repaired.

I'm having acceleration issues and the roms are going too high before shifting. And the steering column starts shaking on the highway after o get going fast like 45 or so. There's one light on and it's my low tire pressure light, but the tires aren't really low. And the issue has been occuring on and off periodically since after I had my brake job in November. It might be an issue with the brake job because I can hear the brakes rubbing. But I sought advice from a mechanic and he thinks its the TCM that needs to be serviced. The issue hasn't occured for a couple weeks and then it occured again today.

Driver side AHR deployed while vehicle was parked in the driveway. Albeit there want anyone in the car and thank god it wasn’t being driven but this is safety issue in my opinion. I’ve looked into resetting it and attempted to but then noticed that the system wasn’t activated and the plastic that holds the straining pin in has broke. Now I’ve stuck with a deployed headrest and a bill to replace it when this is clearly a fiat Chrysler problem

Vehicle stalls in moving traffic.Cuts off and traction light comes on. Many owners have reported the problem with continuous replacing parts and the issue comes back in a day or so

I have purchased a 2015 Jeep Patriot from Sunrise car dealer it has been 3 months now I took it back to the dealer they couldn't find anything wrong with it the car cut off in the middle of traffic in the middle of the expressway with a big 18-wheeler behind me scared me to death. I can see why they sold it to me without any warranty. I took it to a car repairment person ran a test on it couldn't find anything wrong with it. No codes were found, we took the car for a ride in the air and the radio didn't cut him off but as soon as I got back in it down the road it cut off again several times before I made it home. Please tell me if I can take the car back and trade it in for another car. Help

While driving the car RPM dropped to zero, I pressed the gas pedal, and RPMs went back to normal engine continued to work. The crank shaft sensor was replaced, it drove for another month (approximately) before it began with the same issue. This time I was driving on the highway (twice). The third time I was on a busy street when it happened with complete loss of power and the stability control light came on. This is so dangerous and could possibly cause an accident. After looking into this issue, I have found that this is not a common occurrence and there is even a recall for this exact reason for the 2016 Jeep Patriots. The vehicle was taken to the local Jeep dealership, and they stated there was no way of knowing what the issue is without the check engine light coming on. I find this hard to believe knowing that there are many instances of this happening and a recall on a newer model for the same thing. They replaced the Crank Shaft Sensor (which had already been replaced) and two cam shaft sensors, replaced the catalytic converter that was recalled and the passenger side seat which had deployed. We were charged nearly $800. This is outrageous considering this is a dangerous issue that has been recalled on the 2016 models. Jan 31, 2023, NHTSA reached out to Ms. Eanes for additional information involving issues of the Crankshaft in the 2015 Jeep Patriot.

I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS JUST ABOUT EVERYONE HERE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. I HAVE STALLED TWICE AND ONE OF THOSE TIMES ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT STALLED. MANY TIMES NOW FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS IT HAS BEEN SLOWING DOWN TO A CRAWL AND REPEATEDLY HESITATING LIKE IT'S CHOKING. THIS HAPPENS PRESENTLY, AT ALMOST EVERY TURN I MAKE AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. DEFINITELY SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AS IT MOST CERTAINLY IS A ROAD SAFETY CONCERN/ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING MY JEEP JUST STALLED. I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OFVTHE ROAD. I PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY TO OFF POSITION. TRIED TO RESTART AND IT WOULD NOT, BUT CONTINUED TO TRY TO START BY ITSELF. WHICH IN TURN KILLED THE BATTERY. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS HAPPENED TODAY WHICH IS A SATURDAY AND MAYBE THEY WILL GET TO LOOK AT IT ON MONDAY. THIS REALLY SCARED ME AS I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. THANK GOD MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT WITH ME AS IT WAS ONLY 5 DEGREES AND SNOWING.

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.

I BOUGHT MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT ON JULY 4, 2020. EVERY SINCE I'VE HAD MY TRUCK, THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO 4 MECHANICS AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A PROBLEM. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I GOT THE TRUCK FROM HAS NOT EVEN TRIED TO CONTACT ME BACK ABOUT THEM FIXING IT FOR ME. I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T WORK AT THIS POINT.

I HAVE A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT WITH 65,000 MILES ON IT. OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO CUT OFF OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE DRIVING. THE RPM DROPS TO ZERO AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. NO ERROR CODES SHOW UP. NOTHING. IT STARTS BACK UP, USUALLY WITH NO ISSUE BUT THEN DOES IT AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER. IT HAPPENS VERY SPORADICALLY AND SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. IT HAPPENS WHILE GOING SLOW, GOING FAST, WHILE ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND WE LIVE ON BACK ROADS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS THAT THERE ARE THIS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE AND THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL.

2015 JEEP PATRIOT HAD A PROBLEM STARTING TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE EVENT. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER WHILE PARKED. AFTER WAITING FIVE MINUTES, I TURNED THE KEY AGAIN AND IT STARTED. THEN, TWO DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING. FOR THE NEXT 20 SECONDS IT OSCILLATED BETWEEN ACCELERATING AND COASTING WHILE I HELD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. AS I COASTED TOWARDS AN UPCOMING OFF-RAMP, I LOST POWER STEERING. ONCE I WAS OFF THE FREEWAY, I HAD TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALERSHIP. THEY RAN THEIR "DIAGNOSTIC TESTS" AND FOUND NOTHING. THEY TEST DROVE THE CAR FOR 10 MILES AND WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUES. THEY UPDATED THE PCM AND TCM AND RAN THEIR COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AGAIN. NOTHING WAS FOUND. I FEEL INCREDIBLY UNSAFE DRIVING MY JEEP PATRIOT NOW. I ESCALATED THE ISSUE TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE WHO WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME UNTIL THE PROBLEMS ARE RECREATED AND DOCUMENTED BY A DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. 2016 JEEP PATRIOTS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS VERY REASON. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS?

WHILE RANDOMLY DRIVING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THROTTLE LIGHT COMES ON. I'VE HAD MY CAR TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CODES ARE P2135 AND P0121. DEALER SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY DIDN'T CLEAR THE CODE. WENT HOME AND SLEPT, NEXT MORNING THE LIGHTS ARE OFF. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY DECEMBER 2018, MY GAS PEDAL 2 MONTHS AGO AND PART OF MY COMPUTER OVER A MONTH AGO AND THIS IS STILL HAPPENING. I'VE READ IN A BUNCH OF FORUMS THIS IS COMMON BUT NO ONE HAS A SOLUTION.

AT ONLY 16,500 MILES 5 SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2015 WITH 6 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO NUMEROUS OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS AS WELL. THERE ARE AT LEAST 2 DOZEN OR SO ON 1 INTERNET FORUM THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR FAILURES. THE FAILURE OF MINE HAPPENED CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION LUCKILY NO ONE CRASHED INTO THE CAR AS THE SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND THE CAR SIMPLY REVVED AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO ANY GEAR. THE DEALERSHIP MILTON RUBEN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP AND FCA BOTH ARE CLAIMING CLUTCHES ARE NOT WARRANTY DUE TO BEING A CONSUMABLE WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. THE DEALER REPORTEDLY FOUND BROKEN PIECES OF CLUTCH ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICIANS NOTES. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND DISCERNING FAILURE AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. THERE IS ANOTHER REPORT OF ONE FAILURE AT ONLY 9600 MILES. THE DEALER ALSO CANNOT CONFIRM IF SAID PIECES FOUND ARE ACTUALLY CLUTCH OR TRANSMISSION PARTS. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH FCA REGARDING THE MATTER AND THEY ARE NOT MUCH ASSISTANCE. THIS MATTER OF GEARBOX, TRANSMISSION, CLUTCH FAILURES IN JEEP PATRIOTS WARRANT AN INVESTIGATION. I HOPE OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO YOU. DEALERS ARE CHARGING CONSUMERS $1400.00 TO $2000.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURED COMPONENT THAT IS PREMATURELY BREAKING PUTTING THEIR CONSUMERS AND OTHER MOTORIST LIVES AT RISK.

JEEP PATRIOT CONVERTER RECALL MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON ME AND WAS UNABLE TO BE PUT INTO EITHER A DRIVE OR REVERSE OPTION. THE JEEP SHUT DOWN AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE CADILLAC CONVERTER. THE TRANSMISSION ON THE JEEP BECAME PHYSICALLY TORN INTO PIECES WHILE IT WAS OVERWORKED DUE TO THE CONVERTER ISSUE, AND MY EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS OVERWORKED. ACCELERATION BECAME AN ISSUE AS WELL. HAD TO HAVE THE JEEP TOWED, AND REPAIRED WITH HIGH COSTS DUE TO THE SERIOUS PROBLEM OF IT NOT BEING DRIVEABLE. I HAD THE CONVERTER REPLACED, THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, AND OTHER SMALL REPAIRS IN ORDER TO FIX IT AND SAVE IT. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE AS OF YET, AND AM HOPING TO AVOID ANY IN THE FUTURE. I JUST BECAME AWARE OF THE NATIONAL RECALL FOR JEEP PATRIOTS AND THEIR CONVERTER MALFUNCTIONS. PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW I CAN GO ABOUT SENDING MY RECEIPTS FOR THESE REPAIRS TO BE REIMBURSED.

I OWN A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT WITH 34,000 MILES ON THE JEEP. OVER THE PAST WEEK MY JEEP HAS FAILED ME. IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES. IN ADDITION WHILE DRIVING, THE JEEP WAS JERKING , HESITATING AND THE RPM'S DROPPING TO ZERO WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. A TOTAL LOSS OF POWERSTEERING AND BRAKES OCCURED AS WELL. THE THIRD TIME RESULTED IN ME ALMOST GETTING HIT AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD. AFTER GETTING MY JEEP TOWED TO THE LOCAL LEE JEEP ( FORT WALTON BEACH FL) THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT LOCATE AN ISSUE WITH THE JEEP. THE JEEP HAS STALLED OUT ON THEM, BUT CANNOT GET A CODE. SO NOW I AM WITH OUT A CAR, HAVING TO PAY FOR A RENTAL OUT OF MY POCKET AND I AM A SINGLE TEACHER. THIS IS POOR SERIVE AND AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT IS AN ISSUE FOR MULTIPLE JEEP PATROITS OF VARIOUS MAKES AND MODELS AND JEEP IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND HAS RECALLED OTHER YEARS, BUT NOT THE 2015 WHICH IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE THE CRANKSHAFT/ CAMSHAFT SENOR WIRE HARNESS ( SAFTEY RECALL S89 FOR THE 2016 MODEL) ALSO THE SAME ISSUE WITH LATER MODELS AS WELL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY JEEP FOR 3 DAYS NOW AND NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT. MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME SHOES AS I AM NOW. WITH A JEEP THAT HAS ONLY 34,000 MILES, SUCH FAILURES SHOULD NOT OCCUR AND SUCH EXPENSES SHOULD BE PASSED ONTO THE OWNER FOR SUCH A WIDESPREAD AND KNOWN ISSUE.

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. THIS CONTINUED FOR THREE YEAS. BROUGHT TO 3-4 DEALERSHIPS PLUS HAD 2 PRIVATE TECHS LOOKED AT IT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP ANDTHEY 'ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER' TO OVERSEE REPAIR BUT DEALER STATED THAT CLOG WAS FOUND AGAIN, GAVE CAR BACK AS 'FIXED' BUT AT DELIVERY, WATER WAS STILL LEAKING OUT OF INTERIOR LAMP. 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.

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 HIGHWAY... I HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD THAT I TAKE BACK AND FORTH TO A BABY SITTER EVERY WEEKDAY, AND THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY DAUGHTER AND FOR PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND ME AS WELL. I HAVE READ ON A NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF WEBSITES WHERE OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I KEEP MY OIL CHANGES UP TO DATE AND I JUST CHANGED MY SPARK PLUGS. SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO HAVE IT CHECKED BECAUSE OF WHAT I HAVE READ I SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE NOT HAD LUCK WITH TAKEN IT TO A SHOP I WOULD HATE FOR THIS ISSUE TO CAUSE SOMEBODY TO REAR END ME ON THE STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY. EITHER BEING ON THE STREETS OR THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE AND INJURY TO ME, MY 3 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AND TO THE PEOPLE AROUND ME.HOPEFULLY THEY HAVE A RECALL SOON!

I AM SEEING MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT USED TO KICK BACK WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING WHICH DEVELOPED INTO A STALL AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY GAVE ME NEW SPARK PLUGS AND CLEANED MY AIR INTAKE VALVES IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THE CAR GIVES NO WARNING OR CODE TO DESCRIBE WHAT IS HAPPENING. FOR ABOUT A WEEK THERE WERE NO ISSUES AND THEN IT STALLED ON ME TWICE TODAY AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND ACCELERATED ONCE IT TURNED GREEN BUT IT STALLED BEFORE I COULD MAKE IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I COULD BARELY STEER OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES, HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF. THEN I HAVE TO SIT THERE FOR A COUPLE MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE CAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR ESPECIALLY DURING RUSH HOUR.

WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND YOU START TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE IT STARTS JOLTING AND THEN SLOWS DOWN IN MID TRAFFIC WHEREVER YOU ARE WHILE PRESSING ON THE GAS. I GOT IT LOOKED AT THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, SUPPOSED IT GOT FIXED BUT I PAID A LOT OF MONEY AND SOMETIMES IT STILL JOLTS. I REALIZED THAT THIS WAS A BIGGER ISSUE WHEN MY MOM AND MY SISTER WHO EACH OWN A COMPASS 2014 & 2015 AND BOTH OF THEIR VEHICLES HAVE NOW PRODUCED THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM ALL OF US GETTING THE SAME ISSUE WHILE ALMOST BEING CRASHED IN TO ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON A MAIN ROAD. OUR CARS ARE ONLY 3-4 YEARS OLD, I'M NOT SURE WHY SO MUCH WORK IS BEING DONE FOR THE SAME SITUATION IN ALL THE JEEP MADE VEHICLES. THE THROTTLE BODY IS SUPPOSEDLY THE ISSUE IN ALL THREE SITUATIONS, MAYBE FOR WHOEVER ELSE OWNS ONE SHOULD KNOW THAT THEY WILL SOON GET THIS PROBLEM IF THEY HAVENT. MY CAR STILL HAD NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE GETTING IT "FIXED" BY JEEP "PROFESSIONALS" AT THE DEALERSHIP.

HOOD RELEASE LEVER WHEN GETTING OUT OF CAR LEFT FOOT CATCHES ON LEVER RELEASING HOOD. LEVER PROTRUDES FROM SIDE PANEL. I HAVE A BAD LEFT LEG SO I HAVE TO DRAG LEG OUT OF CAR. I CAN CATCH LEVER RELEASING HOOD WITHOUT KNOWING IT. SAFETY LATCH DOES PREVENT HOOD FROM OPENING UP IF I DO NOT NOTICE HOOD IS OPEN.
