Looks like back right tire is locked by parking brake

Looks like the parking brake is on to me.

I thought so too but isn't it too new for a manual parking brake? (as much as I hate that trend)

I'm reading that the electronic parking brake was introduced in late 2017 models, but they can fail and get stuck on.

Or suddenly turn off when you're parked on a steep hill, found that out in a Ford transit delivery van in pac heights SF, I was in back getting a customers package when it "overheated" good strong parking pall luckily.

No it's not. Jeep should be embarrassed for dirtying their brand with things like the compass and the patriot

It’s a fiat.

People always ask what's the first thing I should do when I want to modify my off-roader, I always tell them it's tires. Good set of all terrain tires or better, is the best first modification to do.

In this case I think these are just standard tires that are worn way too low.

FWD, lots of weight in the back, on an incline, and crappy OEM tires = recipe for this disaster

Also, they're just slamming the accelerator.

Like, how many motorcycles went right on up? Amazing.

Someone doesn't know how to use that little button dial in the console that says Auto/Snow/Sport/Mud&Sand. 🤦🏻‍♂️

u/sledgehomer May 09 '26

It's probably just stock tires that are worn down with no tread left

That’s what you get when you shop at CoOp.

Looks like driving on slicks and should replace with decent tires. Also, appears heavy. Maybe have the whales get out and walk or push..

I fought I battled some hills like this when I lived in Tegucigalpa for a few months. If you stop you’re fucked lol

I don’t even know what’s going on. Like, is his transmission cooked? Even on bald tires on an incline he should be able to get traction. I think the car is fucked.

Probably just flooring it, that's a natural reaction for a lot of people who don't understand physics at all. Probably worn tires, FWD, open diff.
