Problems started when the wheel and axel came off the vehicle on a side road 3 years ago. The vehicle dropped a wheel again when crossing the country a month later. Both incidents included my wife and passengers. That at least seems resolved. At 28900 miles or so we have been wrestling for the last year and some with intermittently all the warning lights coming on and now the car will occasionally lose all power while in motion. So we have taken it to the dealership where they say it requires a replacement of the electrical harness. Topping off, the driver seat rest safety mechanism deployed randomly this last week while the vehicle was parked in the driveway.
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...
FAULTY CONTROL ARM/BALL JOINTS ( ALL IN ONE PART TOGETHER FOR BALL JOINT AND CONTROL ARM) first time I took it in was jan 2021 the two months later now this is the 3RD time now the car dealership is stating the faulty part ( control arm/ ball join) mechanic stated both times that that parts were faulty. Causing damage to tires that are not safe and I have to pay out of pocket for new tires when the parts are faulty which the parts were covered under my warranty but tire were not... so I believe since the parts that are faulty that caused damaged I should not be liable for buying the new tires did to faulty parts causing the damage.
I COME DOWN A SMALL OVER PASS, AND ICE WASN'T VISIBLE/ WHEN I BRAKED MY LEFT TIRE DRIVER SIDE AT THE CURB
1ST: ABS LIGHT AND ANTI SKID WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED 8/31/2018. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 20000 MILES. MY SISTER IN LAW OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT IN TEXAS AND IT HAS DEVELOPED THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. THE LIGHTS SOMETIMES GO OFF BUT KEEP COMING BACK ON. NOT SURE IF ABS IS FUNCTIONAL. 2ND: DEALER ADVISES THAT THE WHEEL MOUNTING BOLTS (5 EACH WHEEL) ARE DEFECTIVE AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SCHEDULED WARRANTY SERVICE WITH DEALER FOR LATE SEPT BUT THESE FAILURES SEEM ODD FOR SUCH A NEW CAR AND HAVE HAPPEN ON AT LEAST ONE OTHER 2016 MODEL IN TEXAS
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
THE CV AXLES HAVE GONE BAD ON A CAR THAT IS BRAND NEW AFTER ONLY 2 YEARS I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN DRIVING IT 2 YEARS AND I FEEL THAT IT CAN MESS UP MY STEERING AND AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE A WRECK DUE TO THE CLICKING AND POPPING AND VIBRATIONS BEING PUT OFF BY THE STEERING AND FROM TIRES EVEN GOING THIRTY AND NOT DURING A TURN
