Using uppercase and lowercase letters and the symbols Chase supports, 0.25% of random 12-character passwords would be rejected by the repeating and consecutive rules.
Re-running the simulation to assume case-insensitivity results in 0.44% of random 12-character passwords failing these rules (assuming Chase treats aBc as an invalid sequence).
Note that Facebook also accepts variations on a password, for example if you have caps lock on, or if the mobile device automatically capitalizes the first character, or if an additional character is added at the end of the password.
