NHTSA Complaint #10680270 — 2013 JEEP PATRIOT

JUST AFTER PURCHASING MY JEEP BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 17 MILES ON IT, AROUND APPROXIMATELY 4500 MILES, THE BRAKES STARTED MAKING NOISES WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND INFORMED THE TECHNICIAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AND HE STATED IT WAS HAPPENING TO ALL THE VEHICLES THAT YEAR WITH THE SPECIFIC BRAKES, AND WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. THEN HE STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS, BUT ALL THE JEEPS BRAKES THEY WERE SELLING WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I SPOKE TO ANOTHER COUPLE THAT CONTACTED JEEP DIRECTLY, AND THEY HAD REPLACED THE BRAKES, BUT THE DESIGN WASN'T DIFFERENT AND THEIR BRAKES ALSO WERE MAKING NOISES ON THEIR BRAND NEW JEEP. CURRENTLY, THE BREAKS SQUEAK, AND HAVE SINCE JUST AFTER OWNING THE CAR. ITS DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER DUE TO THE NOISE, AND I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE NOISE. MY CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED ALMOST EVERY TIME I GO IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY JUST KEEP REPEATING THE SAME THING. BEING A BRAND NEW CAR, THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. TO THIS DAY THIS STILL IS AN ISSUE, AND I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT CAN BE DONE. THRU RESEARCH, EVERY JEEP OWNER I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THAT HAS A 2013, OR 2014, THIS IS AN ISSUE. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO GET MY JEEP FIXED PROPERLY. *TR
