My jeep is stuck in park and the brake lights are inop. I have searched this earlier and a lot of responses were to change the switch on the brake pedal. I did this and still no progress. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

It could be something as silly as a bad ground. I have only had mine for 3 weeks, so I haven't really dug into the electrical system. I know the TIPM pretty much handles anything and everything electronic in our riots, but there's a slight chance they went simple on this one and its a N.C. switch that is grounded on one side.
Check your fuses. My wife had the same problem with a Suzuki Sidekick.
Turns out that the transmission shifter won't operate if the brake light fuse is blown. Probably for security reason. Might be the same for the Patriot, I don't know but worth a try. Good luck.
It's been addressed before here. Didn't drive the jeep today but I think there is an access point on the passenger side of the shifter to bypass shifted lock. Couple of members had to use this access point to get to dealer if I rember right. Search for shifter bypassed maybe. Remember that you don’t have brake lights though, be carefull.

it is most likely the brake position switch located above the brake pedal. I'm on my third switch now after 154,000 miles. It controls the brake lights and the brake interlock for the gear selector.

швидше за все це перемикач положення гальма, розташований над педаллю гальма. Зараз я втретє перемикаю після 154 000 миль. Він керує стоп-сигналами та блокуванням гальм для селектора передач.
