My 2012 Jeep Patriot 4WD 2.4L is around 106,000 miles. About 2 months ago, I was pumping gas and I noticed it was only pumping about 75 cents at a time before stopping. I thought it was a faulty pump but soon began to realize it happened everywhere! my check engine light also comes every now and then, warning me that the catalytic converter is faulty. So I found the recalls for both of these problems which include 2012 Patriots, yet they say my car is not covered by the recall. Seriously" the only recall that is covered for my car is 16V-668 which is the occupant restraint. Why are the other problems that are popping up with everyone not covered"
Two years ago I had nielsen Jeep in East hanover, NJ perform the air bag recall. My Jeep Patriot had 100,000 on it. I never had the air bag light come on. Immediately after they did the recall, the air bag light would come on and off. I returned the Jeep to them three times and they stated that they corrected the problem, I just brought Jeep in on 12/18/19 and they said I now need a new passenger side air bag at a cost of $1,800! they charged me $150 to diagnose the system.

I went to the Chrysler dealership to replace an orc module S61 that was recalled. They replaced the part but right as I was leaving the delearship, my airbag light came on. I called the dealership to let them know because I had to pick up my kids from the bus stop, she told me to bring it up during my oil change the next week. I did and they told me it wasn't their problem, the recall had nothing to do with the airbags, and quoted me at $600 for them to go through my car and check the wires. The service manager did tell me the obd 2 reading was B1C29-left side seat thorax squib 1 open and B1C2D- right side seat thorax squib 1 open; and advised me to unplug and plug all the connectors under the seat. I did this and nothing happened. I called them back and they said they couldn't do anything to fix it and it was my fault not theirs and I recieved the same $600 quote to fix it. I know it happened while they were working on it and I have found a couple of threads with people that had the same problem and they all said to make a complaint on here.
