“I left car in garage- fine. I go back later to get in Patriot, I find the passenger side headrest deployed/popped open. The vehicle was sitting there. I hadn't even turned it on when I noticed it. I have been in no accident (at least within the last year). It now decides to deploy on its own.”

“My car is not starting. This is the third time this year that I had to bring it in to the dealership. The red bolt goes on last two times and I was on the road driving and it slowed down. This time it won't work. I took it to dealership twice already and it's less than two months apart. Third time happening now.”

“Jeep was skipping while driving. It would not accelerate when, it was just move slowly. I brought it to a transmission specialist , he took it out of my car for diagnostic because he claimed he could not determine the problem by driving or computer. Charged $840 and stated the transmission could not be repaired it had to be rebuilt. I could not afford the price quoted. They placed the transmission in my trunk.”

“The driver seat headrest deployed without warning or cause. The car was parked in my driveway overnight, no car or object hit the car. When I got in the car and put it in reverse I noticed the headrest had been deployed. It was possible it happened over night or as the car was stationary and put in reverse. This is extremely dangerous and is a well known problem online. There is no recall for this and this will apparently cost me $800 or more to repair, or I can drive around with no head rest.”

“The check engine light came on and the car had a roughy start just three weeks ago and I was told I had a bad alternator my car stopped when I was driving. Then it happened again three weeks later and I was told my 2014 Jeep Patriot had a bad throttle body and again my vehicle stopped as it was in motion in traffic. The first time it stopped I was on a city street the second time I hadn't even cleared my driveway it stopped in the street and I was able to start it again I parked it in my driveway and then had it towed to the dealership”
