We have a 2014 Patriot Sport with the most basic AM-FM-CD radio. The radio clock keeps losing time, a few minutes each week. My wife keeps resetting it. Have others had this problem? If so, how did you cure it?
Yes, we have the same problem. I have to advance it a minute or two every month. Did it just yesterday. I think that's the first time since the change to DST so maybe its been a couple months. Why this happens is beyond me. I doubt there is a cure.
My 2008 Patriot ran the original battery till about 200,000. Never had a clock issue. The clocks in both my 2014 Patriot and 2011 Wrangler have lost time since new; both are still on their original batteries.
2012. Time lost has happened from Day 1. About 2-3 minutes a month. Never had alt or battery issues. Replaced my perfectly working battery this past January after 7 years and clock works exactly the same way. I call it character.
My 2014 has always looses time. I can set the clock and within a week it will be 2 minutes slow. Then over the course of the next month it will loose another minute.
This happens to me almost everyday...Makes me wonder if there is something else going on with the vehicle because the electronic throttle control system light will sometimes come on when I try to start the vehicle.
We certainly understand why this would be concerning. We suggest having your dealer inspect this concern if you have not done so already. We are also available via private message if you would like any additional assistance during that process.
I really don't think it's an issue with connections or battery, it's just an issue with the clock. I think that it has to do with starting the car. The clock loses a split second each time and it adds up. For me it's just a minor inconvenience because I always assume that it's a few minutes behind.
