AS MY WIFE WAS PULLING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND BRAKING TO PARK THE CAR, THE ENGINE SPED UP AND ALL 4 WHEELS WERE SPINNING EXTREMELY FAST CAUSING HER TO THRUST FORWARD. SHE WAS NOT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE MODE AT THE TIME. SHE STEPPED ON THE BRAKES HARDER TO SEE IF SHE COULD STOP THE VEHICLE BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO INCREASE SPEED AND LUNGED OUT OF CONTROL .THE ONLY WAY SHE THOUGHT SHE COULD STOP THE WHEELS FROM SPINNING WAS TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. EVEN THOUGH SHE PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THE WHEELS CONTINUED TO SPIN AND THE ONLY REASON THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING FORWARD WAS BECAUSE SHE HIT A TREE. THE WHEELS CONTINUED TO SPIN AFTER SHE HIT THE TREE AND THE CAR WAS STILL IN PARK AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THEM FROM SPINNING WAS WHEN SHE SHUT DOWN THE IGNITION. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE AND THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THE CONSOLE LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING ON AND OFF AS THIS WAS HAPPENING. MY WIFE HAD CONCERNS WITH THIS BEFORE AS SHE WENT TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE AT OTHER TIMES SHE FELT THE ENGINE SPEED SURGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. *TR
STARTING IN THE SUMMER OF 2014 THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY JULY 15, 2016 WHILE DRIVING I SMELT SOMETHING BURNING. LOOKED BEHIND ME AND THE BACKSEAT WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE! PULLED OVER AND CALLED 911. FIREFIGHTERS DETERMINED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAD SHORT CIRCUITED. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR IT HAD STOPPED THE WIRES FROM BURNING. THE FIREFIGHTERS DISCONNECTED THE WIRES AND I CAREFULLY CONTINUED ON MY WAY. DURING THIS TIME I ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE DOOR LOCKS CONSTANTLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, EVEN WHEN NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR. ALSO, THE HORN AND STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS, SUCH AS THE CRUISE CONTROL AND RADIO CONTROLS, WENT OUT. I JEEP ABOUT THE FIRE/SMOKE AND ALSO TOLD THEM ABOUT THE OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. I MET WITH A CHRYSLER INSPECTOR AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. SHORTLY AFTER I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT THEY WERE NOT AT FAULT FOR THE ISSUES HAPPENING WITH MY PATRIOT. .

Passenger headrest deployed open even though there was no collision
The passenger headrest AHR has deployed a couple years ago while parked. I tried working with the dealer for the past year to get it fixed under a recall. The dealer said it was covered for a limited time but no longer is covered. I do not understand why that is. It seems this should be covered under a recall and is a safety issue.
Drivers side headrest deployed while I was driving.
Drivers side head restraint deployed while driving without any viable cause or reason
