What owners wrote
The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while she was exiting a parking spot, the vehicle accelerated independently and crashed into a tree. No Air Bags deployed. The contact stated the front passenger had bruises on her chest from the seat belt but did not seek medical attention. No police report was filed. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to towing shop and now was at an insurance location. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted.
While the vehicle was in motion, the car hesitated, lost speed, and then cut off (lost compression) while driving on the freeway. The engine indicator light never came on (beforehand) to alert that there was an engine problem. The passenger front tire loses air (constantly) and I've had to put air in the tire (since purchase date 3/13/15) every other week and the dealership keeps insisting there is nothing wrong with the vehicle.
