NHTSA Complaint #11191367 — 2015 JEEP PATRIOT

I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY (ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR) AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR 'S LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON (ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY, LIGHTENING BOLT) THE POWER SEEMED TO BE DRAINING FROM MY VEHICLE, I COULD NOT LONGER ACCELERATE. I ALMOST GOT HIT IN THE BACK, LUCKILY THERE WAS AN EXIT THAT WAS CLOSE SO THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO TAKE A FORCED EXIT TO AVOID FROM HITTING ME. UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENED, I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. I WAITED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND HESITANTLY DECIDED TO TRY TO RESTART THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT, ONLY TO GO ABOUT 2 MILES AND IT HAPPEN AGAIN. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND TOOK BACK STREETS ALL THE WAY HOME TO KEEP ME FROM GETTING INTO A WRECK. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ABOUT 4 TIMES UNTIL I MADE IT HOME AND PARK IT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A HEADACHE EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. ONE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT, THE GAS TANK SUNK AND PRETTY MUCH FELL INTO THE CAR SO DEEP THAT I COULD NO LONGER GET THE PUMP TO THE TANK TO FILL GAS. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THAT, THE WHEELS STARTED SQUEALING, AND THIS WAS UNABLE TO BE FIXED. THE BOLTS THAT ARE USED UNDER THE HOOD DO NOT FIT THE CAR SO THINGS WOULD CONSTANTLY LOOSEN AS I DROVE IT AND EVENTUALLY ARE REPOSITIONED EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE REPLACED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIPS. THERE'S SUBSTANCE MUCH LIKE ADHESIVE GLUE THROUGHOUT THE CAR ON CERTAIN PARTS WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IF THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW. ALL AROUND POORLY MADE CAR, YOU WILL END UP PAYING THE DOUBLE THE AMOUNT VALUED BASED ON THE REPAIRS. HORRIBLE. HOLD THIS MAKER ACCOUNTABLE, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. LIVES ARE AT DANGER.
