So I bought this used from a previous owner check engine light has come on quite a few times and I’ve gone to two separate places and it’s the catalytic converter efficiency coming up. My mechanic did a recall research and found that this specific vehicle not the VIN number had been recalled for issues with this, I would like to get my car added to the recall. I am a single mom. This is my only mode of transportation to him from work and to get my kids I bought this used and I’m pretty sure the owner knew something was wrong with it.

I have and airbag check light on on my dashboard. I tested the code and it corresponds to B1B06 (Driver Airbag Squib 2 circuit Open). This matches a recall done on previously. NHTSA Recall Number 16V-288, in which my vehicle was MISSED from the recall!! Now that my vehicle is indicating the problem JEEP refuses to fix the problem. Although this was supposed to be fixed during the appropriate recall time. I called Jeep on May 26, 2025 and the associate told me that is the problem comes from the recall, the dealer will fix it. The dealer says they are not going to fix it because it is a closed recall. I called Jeep again, and they are not clear about fixing it. They clearly failed to include my vehicle in the recall and now I have the problem.

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Patriot. The contact that upon starting the vehicle, the air bag warning light illuminated. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V288000 (AIR BAGS). The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced the recall as a possible cause for the failure; however, the VIN nor the model vehicle was included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

Mileage: 150,000

The front airbags are defective and not working. I was involved in an accident in July of last year, and they did not deploy. It was a recall on it a few years back, however apparently was not repaired. I do not feel that this should fall on me because it’s not mechanical and nothing that I don’t have anything to deal with and it is a safety issue. Please provide on how to proceed, thank you!

No dash lights, in my way to work someone cut into my(crossed solid line) lane and my vehicle hit the rear end of the vehicle that cut into my lane. Going around 55 and wearing my seatbelt, slammed on the breaks, couldn't go around without flipping my car so we collided. The front end of my car was completely destroyed and the airbags did not deploy. I am this cars second owner after my father bought it new & if he knew it would almost kill his daughter in 12 years he never would have bought it. It had no accident history and had been told the recall was fixed when it very obviously was not. We had a rep from Chrysler come and pull the crash data, and he tried to tell me there was no reason for the airbags to go off. The entire front of my car was crushed, there is no possible way they should not have triggered for the severity of the accident I was in. I smashed my head so hard on the steering wheel that I blacked out, broke my eye socket and suffered a severe concussion. I have photo

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving 20 MPH attempting to reverse, there was an abnormal sound coming from near the rear wheel. The contact inspected the vehicle and became aware that the sub frame was rusted. The vehicle was not towed to an independent mechanic or dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 200,000.

Mileage: 200,000

The component that failed was the front, driver's side subframe. This component and the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The sudden and unexpected failure of the subframe on the vehicle, due to excessive rust corrosion, precipitated a series of hazardous events that significantly compromised not only my own safety but also the safety of others on the road. While driving at a low speed, the detachment of the wheel hub and CV axle joint led to a complete loss of vehicle control. This mechanical failure was further exacerbated by the total loss of transmission fluid, which leaked onto the road, potentially creating a slippery and dangerous surface for other road users. The culmination of these mechanical failures resulted in having been stranded in the middle of a busy intersection, a location where a major freeway on and off ramp intersect with a significant artery of traffic. This situation placed myself in immediate danger, exposed to the risk of collision from onco

The driver side seatbelt is buckled and will release without the release button being pressed. This has happened on several occasions. When a driver can not count on the support and protection of their seatbelt their life is at greater risk every time they get behind the wheel.

The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. The traction control warning light was then illuminated. The contact stated that the failure occurred several times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and a dealer; however, the vehicle had not yet been diagnosed. The contact was advised that there was no way to recreate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

Rear cross members and majority of the subframe rusted out, but this only was an issue 2 years after the extended warranty expired.

The is corrosion on frame and crossbars my jeep is rotting away, as 2nd owner with 85 thousand miles this shouldn’t be rusting away, dealer and jeep will do nothing as saying corrosion warranty and extended coverage x69 front rear crossmembers expired.

Vehicle has a bad wheel bearing. While replacing wheel bearing noticed that the rear subframe was completely rotted/rusted. The corrosion on the rear subframe is far worse than the rest of the vehicle. This vehicle is unsafe to drive in its current state as the crossmember could collapse causing a loss of control of the vehicle. Upon doing some research it is clear that Chrysler knows that this is a issue. I cannot believe that there hasn't been a recall to replace these subframes. I guess its going to take a major accident or worse to before anything will get done. I have included pictures of the crossmember as well as the undercarriage of the vehicle for comparison.
