2016 Jeep PATRIOT Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1716043
Internal NHTSA #	11387059
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	PATRIOT
Model Year	2016
File date	23/12/20
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The unsealed main relay box is positioned directly below the lead-acid battery which leaks directly onto the cover, enters the relay box and destroys the leg and wiring connected to the automatic shutdown relay. This can occur both as the vehicle is operating or cause a no-crank/no-start situation, immobilizing the vehicle. In our case, the first time it occurred was in a parking lot but the issue is well documented on the internet and there are myriad youtube videos on the issue for many jeep and fca vehicles. This is enough of a known issue that fca has not addressed for many years now and we just paid $460. 00 for the dealer to move the affected relay from the box to a less vulnerable location. It occurred a few times before the wiring failed completely, and in our case was in a stationary condition each time fortunately.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
