2014 JEEP PATRIOT

AIR BAGS

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2011-2014 Chrysler 200, 2010 Chrysler Sebring, 2010-2012 Dodge Caliber and 2010-2014 Jeep Patriot, Compass and Dodge Avenger vehicles. The Occupant Restraint Control (OCR) module may short circuit, preventing the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags from deploying in the event of a crash.

Risk: If the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a vehicle crash that necessitates deployment of these safety systems.

AIR BAGS

I reached out to the dealer about another issue with my radio by phone they helped with that situation later that day I received a text telling me about vehicle recalls. I called and made an appointment. They repaired part of the issue but had to order parts for the rest. I took my vehicle back the only light in the dash that stays on is the tire pressure light. When my son and I went to pick it back up we noticed the light on when I asked about it I was told the tech would talk to me but was gone for the day. He Jacob reached out the next day and told me it would need further inspection. I finally got in touch with a manager Mark he said the part broke when they attempted repair and this was due to the age of the car. I told him it was no issues before they touched it and I would like it fixed he told me to bring it in and they would inspect free of charge next thing I know he called and told me I was responsible for repairs. I'm not happy and don't/didn't know what to do therefore I'm reaching out here.

SEATS

The headrest exploded while I was driving down the road, and it hit me in the back of the head

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The 2014 Jeep Patriot includes an Active Head Restraint (AHR) that deploys during a rear end collision. On 5/22/2025 The driver's side AHR deployed in my 2014 Jeep Patriot while the vehicle was moving at approximately 5 miles per hour in a parking lot, when there was no collision. The malfunction caused the AHR to move forward and hit the driver in the head (which did result in a headache and sore neck for the driver). The AHR on the front passenger's side did not deploy, which indicates that this was a malfunction limited to the driver's side AHR. I have been advised by my local Jeep dealership that this is not a "covered" malfunction and will cost approximately $500 to replace the AHR, "assuming they can get the part in stock." I was further advised that the warranty for this part was extended, but if it didn't malfunction within the covered period, then the owner is responsible for any later malfunction because it was "not a recall."

Brakes are locking up to a point that it feels like the car is in lower gear. It feels like the car is pulling back when you exhilarate. The rotor is turns bright red and you can smell the burning.
