Patriot

  • 467 miles
I need your help. I sent to the owner of the freedom Jeep dealership but, to date, I have not received a response. I took the car to the sales manager for the second time on the 29th of July. Yesterday, I received a call from him stating there is nothing wrong with the car! I know the fumes from the car made my daughter and I ill and I know that they added 2K to the sale of the car when they did the contract. I need help. Please advise. [xxx] ps I would have attached a copy of the letter, but it is rather long and could not fit this space. I can send it to you via email attachment if you want.

Patriot 4WD 4-cyl

  • 1,437 miles
Was traveling on the highway at approximately 45 mph, glanced at the passenger side mirror and noticed grey smoke coming from the back of the vehicle within a few seconds the "check engine" light came on. I stopped at a traffic light before a safe pull over spot was available. Once light changed to green, vehicle would barley move even with increased throttle pressure. Got the vehicle to a safe spot off the highway. Noticed a lot of transmission fluid flowing from under the vehicle. Had to have vehicle towed to dealer.
