2015 JEEP PATRIOT Electrical System Problems

My car will pull to the right no matter what I do. Tires rotated, air filled, etc it always pulls to the right hard. My electrical system, lights and radio, flicked on and off by themselves one night and now my radio is dead and lights are dim.

My car has caught on fire with smoke at least 4 times, 3 times with my minor child inside of it. I have video to show you just how dangerous it is. All components of the vehicle have failed. I have put thousands of dollars into the vehicle and it only has 80,000 miles on it. My safety and my son and elderly mother's safety has been at extreme risk and my car is NOT SAFE TO OWN OR DRIVE. Carl Gregory, the dealer, never informed me EVER of a 2015 Jeep Patriot recall only three months after I purchased the vehicle while pregnant. The vehicle has been inspected/ worked on by Carl Gregory and now Southern Motors Jeep several times over the last 8 years located on Middleground Road at the corner of Abercorn Street in Savannah, Georgia. My insurance company has charged me to tow my vehicle at least six times as my son and I have been stranded all over the city waiting hours for a tow truck. There were no warning lamps on the vehicle prior to it catching fire and I have my car tuned regularly at Wal-Mart Automotive and cleaned at Montgomery Cross Roads Car Wash once a month. Today the engine stalled and I barely made it out of of the street which is highly dangerous for pedestrians and other drivers on the road. This is probably the 3rd time it has done that. The steering wheel stalls leaving me at the whim of an open road as my car goes out of control. The radio's electrical unit shut down two years ago and the back door does not open. I can't afford to fix those.The brakes were replaced approximately two years after owning it as the vehicle would not slow down during a red light (at the cost of $2,000). I had to veer right. Last November, the car was worked on and the clutch was replaced because it stopped working. One month ago we paid $600 for a new power steering hose to be replaced as it apparently was and continues to leak fluid. This has now been indicated on the dashboard as "hot oil". Currently, I love my car but my family and I are PETRIFIED AND TRAUMATIZED.

This car keeps shutting off and having overheating issues on and off while driving. I have replaced all pistons, fuel injectors, relays, gaskets, thermostats, hoses, and the catalytic converter. I've seen that over 60,000 cases have been reported about this issue with this vehicle and these vehicles are still being sold used at used car dealers despite the issues being unrepairable. This is a real safety issue as the car stops running with no warning no matter where you are driving. You can see all the same reports on multiple sites online. Why hasn't jeep done anything about this issue? I know I bought mine used but I'm sure the used car dealer would have never had this vehicle on their lot if it was recalled as it should have been.

Vehicle engine stopped while driving. This could lead to potential danger. Started about 1 year ago.

Over the past year, the car has had 4 crank position sensors, new pig tails/connectors on the wire harness, a new throttle body, and a new MCM. The Jeep will randomly shut off without warning either at stoplights/traffic or on the highway at speed. While at speed, the car will "restart" itself, but if it stalls while stagnant a manual restart is necessary. When the stalling occurs, warning lights do not appear on the dash. Lately, however; the crank position code P0339 has come up with the check engine light. I recently experienced a crank position sensor code followed by a cylinder 3 misfire which caused the car to go into limp mode. Once I replaced the MCM, the misfire went away. Most recently (today) the car stalled in the middle of an intersection while making a left turn; my [XXX] son was in the car with me. Since it was a stop light, the car was able to be restarted in time, but had it been a stop sign/non-stop oncoming traffic, the situation could have been much worse. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Stalling without warning, while driving, not throwing an engine code, shops don’t know what’s wrong. Checked every possible reason. Because of unknown failure car will die on freeway, stop lights, leaving an intersection. Very dangerous

My truck goes into a code where the electric throttle control light, the engine light, and the tire traction light comes on. When the vehicle does this it reduces the speed to 35 no matter what or where you are. When you ho get the engine light checked, the code says it's a suction problem 🙄. Jeep started doing this in the colder weather than progressed to every other week

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that air conditioning system was blowing hot air throughout the vehicle. Additionally, there was a coolant leak. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer three times and was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the air compressor unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000.

I have purchased a 2015 Jeep Patriot from Sunrise car dealer it has been 3 months now I took it back to the dealer they couldn't find anything wrong with it the car cut off in the middle of traffic in the middle of the expressway with a big 18-wheeler behind me scared me to death. I can see why they sold it to me without any warranty. I took it to a car repairment person ran a test on it couldn't find anything wrong with it. No codes were found, we took the car for a ride in the air and the radio didn't cut him off but as soon as I got back in it down the road it cut off again several times before I made it home. Please tell me if I can take the car back and trade it in for another car. Help

Two issues- First one the vehicle engine tends to randomly sputter like there is a dead cylinder. Which I have found by adding electric jell to the spark plug connector will make the problem go away for a short time. Second one now in the rear transfer case is marking a grinding noise and is getting louder.

The vehicles rpms drop to zero and then almost stalls out but picks up again and sometimes dies completely and you have to wait to restart the vehicle. No codes are available when it stalls out. It happens almost every day and sometimes multiple times a day

***VEHCILE WAS PURCHASED JANUARY 2021. LATER FOUND OUT THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOT I PURCHASED HAD 5 PREVIOUS OWNERS...MAKING ME THE 6TH OWNER.*** SEPT 2021 I WAS DRIVING DURING RUSH HOUR ON BUSY LAS VEGAS CITY STREET WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE AND NO WARNING MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT LOST POWER...3 DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON (LIGHTNING BOLT/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT/TRACTION CONTROL). I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A HOTEL PARKING LOT AFTER CROSSING 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC. ONCE PARKED, I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS TRIED RESTARTING IT AGAIN AND TO NO AVAIL THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC SHOP WHERE THEY DETERMINED/DIAGNOSISED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO I HAD TO COME OUT OF POCKET ALMOST $1000. ALL THIS DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC. WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE FROM THE MECHANIC THEY INFORMED ME THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS STILL ON BECAUSE MY RACK/PINION WAS DAMAGED SO MY ALIGNMENT IS OUT OF WHACK. THEY ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE OFF WITH MY VEHICLE EVEN WHEN THE ALIGNMENT BEING SCREWED UP. WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE HOME, I WAS SO SCARED BECAUSE IT FELT LIKE MY VEHICLE WANTED TO GO IN EVERY DIRECTION AT THE SAME TIME. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO BIG O TIRES TO HAVE THEM TEST THE ALIGNMENT. AFTER THEY RE-ALIGNED THE JEEP IT RAN PERFECT. BUT I SPOKE TO SOON...JUST AFTER 1 WEEK, IM NOW STARTING TO EXPERIENCE MORE ISSUES...CAR ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF FROM RED LIGHT, BACK FIRING FROM EITHER THE TAIL PIPE OR UNDER THE HOOD (ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE IS BEING FLOODED OUT WITH TO MUCH GAS), MY GAS MILEAGE HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED!!!

Throttle conrol sensor redlightning bolt on dash, after jeep seemed to loose power.check engine light. Available upon request. Had to drive home with virtually no exceleration with hazzards on due to unusual dangerous circumstances. Jeep problem not confirmed by dealer. Needs to be towed, for fear of safety. Disheartened,and without a vehicle hoping this can be affordable to fix or fixable at all.

For the past several months we are having trouble with the computer issue with this vehicle. We took it to a repair shop and they confirmed, in fact one of the mechanics had the very same problem, that the computer is malfunctioning. Here is what is happening...the car won't start and as you turn the key it just hesitates and you pray it will start. The A/C won't come on...the clock on the dash does not show the correct time...the "bell" dings when you exit the vehicle even though there is no key in the ignition, the lights have been turned off, etc. It won't stop dinging until you shut the door. Also, the rear window defogger indicator light is flashing like warning you to turn it off. Also, the CD player won't eject a CD. Then come a few days later and none of this happens. It is always a gamble when you get in the Jeep wondering if it will start. I feel, since this has happened to other Jeeps, there should be a recall on this particular situation.

MY JEEP PATRIOT WILL STALL OUT ON ME UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THOUSANDS OF WORK DONE ON IT JUST FOR IT TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. NO SHOP HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG DUE TO NO CODE SHOWING UP. IT HAS BEEN OVERHEATING ON ME AND HAS BEEN CAUSING ME TO THROW AWAY A LOT OF MONEY. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS NOTHING HAPPENING AND ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS IS RIDICULOUS!!

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL KEEPS ACTING UP. THE LIGHT FLASHES ON AS IT LOSES POWER THEN IT WILL RUN FINE FOR A LITTLE BIT AND DO IT AGAIN. THERE IS NO CODE. I KEEP GETTING HESITATIONS IN THE JEEP. IT WILL HICCUP ALONG THE HIGHWAY OR AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC TIME WHEN IT HAPPENS. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE WIRE HARNESS REPLACED IN MY JEEP A YEAR AGO.

I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING MY JEEP JUST STALLED. I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OFVTHE ROAD. I PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY TO OFF POSITION. TRIED TO RESTART AND IT WOULD NOT, BUT CONTINUED TO TRY TO START BY ITSELF. WHICH IN TURN KILLED THE BATTERY. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS HAPPENED TODAY WHICH IS A SATURDAY AND MAYBE THEY WILL GET TO LOOK AT IT ON MONDAY. THIS REALLY SCARED ME AS I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. THANK GOD MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT WITH ME AS IT WAS ONLY 5 DEGREES AND SNOWING.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IN MOTION IN HER 2015 PATRIOT WHEN SIMULTANEOUSLY THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL ICONS ALL CAME ON. SUDDENLY THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND JERKING SLOWLY BACK AND FORTH. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO A FIRESTONE AND THE SERVICE TECH SAID IT LOOKS LIKE FAILURE TO THE THROTTLE CONTROL. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT CAREFULLY SINCE THE DRIVER LOSES CONTROL WITH NO POWER OF THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MANY PEOPLE REPORT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON CARPROBLEMZOO.COM

I BOUGHT MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT ON JULY 4, 2020. EVERY SINCE I'VE HAD MY TRUCK, THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO 4 MECHANICS AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A PROBLEM. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I GOT THE TRUCK FROM HAS NOT EVEN TRIED TO CONTACT ME BACK ABOUT THEM FIXING IT FOR ME. I'M STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T WORK AT THIS POINT.

VEHICLE HESITATES WHILE ACCELERATING ON FLAT OR INCLINED GROUND. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC) INDICATOR LIGHT WILL COME DURING THE HESITATION AND GO OFF WHEN POWER RESUMES. SEE ATTACHED PHOTO FOR REFERENCE. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION THE RED LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE CAR HAS GONE INTO LIMP MODE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRACTION AN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE CAR CAN BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AND THIS OCCASIONALLY CLEARS IT. AT TIMES AN OBD-II COMPUTER MUST BE USED TO CLEAR THE CODES AND THEN RESUME DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SPORADICALLY SINCE 2018.

TIPM IS FAULTY AFTER ONLY 79,000 MILES ON THE CAR.

VEHICLE STALLED AND LURCHED UPON ACCERALING FROM A TRAFFIC RED LIGHT. THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE LIGHT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD. PURCHASED WITH LOAN FOUR DAYS AGO. INITIALLY SAME THING OCCURRED WITH HIGH RPM AS WELL. NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AT FIRST. FIFTH DAY OF DRIVING THIS REVEALED THE WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD. DEALER INDICATED RECALL FIXED PRIOR TO SALE. VEHICLE WARNING LIGHT STILL APPEARS. RPMS TOO HIGH ON ACCELERATION. REPAIR SHOP INDICATED THE RECALL DID NOT FIX ISSUE AND NEEDS TO HAVE JEEP DEALER CHECK IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND INDEPENDENTLY RESTARTED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. FOX CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM LOCATED AT 3844 PLAINFIELD AVE NE, GRAND RAPIDS, MI 49525, WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, THE STEERING LOCKED AND I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKILY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN TURNING THE KEY. ALSO NO HORN, NO LIGHTS ... NOTHING. A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED 2 YEARS AGO AND THE JEEP DEALER STATED IT WAS A COMPUTER ISSUE.

Mileage: 32,265

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STARTED DROPPING TO 0 RPM DURING DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND SITUATIONS (SOME 30MPH, SOME 60MPH, SOME TURNING, SOME GOING STRAIGHT, BUT NEVER STALLED WHILE STOPPED) ON AND OFF FOR A WEEK WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR FAULT CODES PRESENT. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 8 MONTHS PREGNANT GOING 65MPH THE JEEP STALLED OUT AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT SHOWED UP AS A CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAULT, WE REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND NOW IT IS STUCK IN TIP START MODE AND WILL NOT START! THIS IS THE 3RD BRAND SENSOR THAT HAS BEEN TRIED. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2016 RECALL ISSUE (SAFETY RECALL S89 / NHTSA 16V-907 CRANKSHAFT CAMSHAFT SENSOR WIRE HARNESS) THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS SAFETY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOT HAVING REOCCURRING SIMILAR ISSUES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS IS A 1 OWNER PURCHASED BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN CARED FOR PROPERLY AND HAS HAD MORE ISSUES THAN A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD. STALLING OUT AT 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHILE 8 MONTHS PREGNANT COULD OF KILLED ME AND MY UNBORN CHILD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

MY CAR WAS IN MOTION AND I LOST POWER WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. I GOT THE CAR TOWED AND WHEN IT ARRIVED AT THE MECHANIC IT STARTED BACK UP JUST FINE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AS NO ERROR MESSAGE WAS ON MY DASHBOARD, THEREFORE THEIR DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL. THE MECHANIC KEPT MY CAR FOR A WHILE AND IT FINALLY GAVE OUT ON THEM AGAIN AND THEY DISCOVERED BY THROTTLE BODY HAD GONE OUT. I HAD THIS ISSUE IN MAY OF 2017 AND HAD IT FIXED AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND LESS THAN 3 YEARS LATER MY CAR HAS THE VERY SAME ISSUE.

Mileage: 73,000

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THERE WAS A PERIODIC JERK AND THAN IT BEGAN TO LOOSE ACCELERATION. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON GAS IT WOULDN'T GO AND THAN IT JUST DIED. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS BATTERY SO WE REPLACED BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE PERIODIC JERK AND THE BATTERY LIGHT NOW COMES ON AND OFF. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO TAKE MY SON TO SCHOOL, WHEN WHILE ON A BUSY CITY STREET MY CAR STARTED TO JERK, AND SUDDENLY I WAS NO LONGER TO ACCERALATE. I WAS LITERALLY SCARED FOR MY LIFE AND MY CHILD, AS THE SPEED OF MY CAR SLOWED DOWN SO FAST, THAT I ALMOST GOT REARENDED. WHEN MY CAR SLOWED DOWN AND COULD NO LONGER ACCERALATE, MY CHECK ENGINE, ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. IT WAS VERY ODD AS THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I READ AND SEEN THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING. I'M SURPRISED THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED DUE TO THIS, I COULD NOT IMAGINE IF I WAS THE HIGHWAY BEHIND A BIG RIG AND MY SPEED QUICKLY DROPPED LIKE THAT OR IF SOMEONE WAS RIDING MY TAIL, THERE IS NO WAY THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SLOW DOWN QUICK ENOUGH TO PREVENT FROM HITTING ME. I SEEN THAT PEOPLE WITH JEEPS HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE, REGARDLESS OF THE YEAR OF THE PATRIOT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PART.

A CIRCUIT WIRE CORRODED AND SHORTED THE TIPM. THIS HAPPENED AT HOME. THE CAR WAS STORED IN THE GARAGE. THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN CONNECTED TO THE DEALER DIAGNOSTICS IT SHOWED NO ERROR CODES. WHEN THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE WIRE AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE SHOP THE STARTER RAN NON STOP WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I AM UNAWARE IF THE CAR STARTER ALSO CAME ON WITHOUT THE KEY WHEN I WAS NOT NEAR THE VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE REMOTE START. IT IS DRIVEN ON PAVED RIDES AND STORED IN A GARAGE. I AM THE SECOND OWNER. LESS THAN TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS SHORTED TIPM THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT THE SAME DEALER FOR A FACTORY RECALL TO CHANGE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND TO DO A COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPDATE.

OUR 2015 JEEP PATRIOT 4WD IS SHUTTING OFF RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING IT!! IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT WILL JUST RANDOMLY SHIFT OFF WITHOUT WARNING! ALL THE LIGHTS WILL TURN ON THEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC!! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT IS PUTTING NOT ONLY OUR LIVES AT RISK FOR A CRASH BUT ALSO THOSE DRIVERS AROUND US AS WELL. ONCE THE CAR SHUTS ITSELF OFF IT WILL NOT TURN ON FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO LEAVING US STRANDING SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC EVEN!! WE HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD THAT IS IN THE CAR WITH US MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING AS WELL AND IS PUTTING HER LIFE AT RISK OF A SERIOUS CRASH AS WELL!! THE 2016 JEEP PATRIOT HAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM THAT OUR 2015 IS HAVING! IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS NOW. *TR

VEHICLE FAILS TO START MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THE BATTERY AND STARTER ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. COMMON FIXES THAT ARE RECOMMENDED ARE REPLACING THE WCM OR THE RELAY BOX. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL START AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES AND LEAVING THE KEY CRANKED FOR 20 SECONDS+, BUT THIS ISN'T ALWAYS RELIABLE. BROUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP AND THEY COULDNT RECREATE THE ISSUE, SO IT WAS NEVER RESOLVED FOR MY CASE.

THE CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH STEERING ENGINE HEATING AND NOW THROTTLE.

CAR BEGAN TO REV UP WHILE IDLE AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE I STARTED TO DRIVE THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE ACCELERATION. THIS OCCURRED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AT SEVERAL RED LIGHTS AFTER BEING STOPPED. TOOK TO SHOP AND THEY SAID THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED.

WHILE RANDOMLY DRIVING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THROTTLE LIGHT COMES ON. I'VE HAD MY CAR TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CODES ARE P2135 AND P0121. DEALER SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY DIDN'T CLEAR THE CODE. WENT HOME AND SLEPT, NEXT MORNING THE LIGHTS ARE OFF. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY DECEMBER 2018, MY GAS PEDAL 2 MONTHS AGO AND PART OF MY COMPUTER OVER A MONTH AGO AND THIS IS STILL HAPPENING. I'VE READ IN A BUNCH OF FORUMS THIS IS COMMON BUT NO ONE HAS A SOLUTION. DEALER SAID MY WIRING HARNESS WAS FINE AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM BUT DON'T WANT TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR EVEN THOUGH IT'S UNDER WARRANTY. HELP

WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT ON OR ABOUT APRIL 15 2019, THE VEHICLE KEPT KILLING WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PCM HAD SHORTED OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE NEW PCM WAS INSTALLED ON APRIL 20, 2019. THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN ON APRIL 24, 2019. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TRACED THE WIRES IN THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A WEEK AND CONTACTED ME ON MAY 1, 2019 STATING THAT THEY HAD DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION COIL WHICH WAS CORRECTED. WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIIMATELY 5:00 P.M.ON MAY 1ST, DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME ABOUT 10 MILES, TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE 1 HOUR LATER AND THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. WE WILL NOW HAVE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHY HAVEN'T THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOTS BEEN RECALLED?

I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY (ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR) AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR 'S LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON (ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY, LIGHTENING BOLT) THE POWER SEEMED TO BE DRAINING FROM MY VEHICLE, I COULD NOT LONGER ACCELERATE. I ALMOST GOT HIT IN THE BACK, LUCKILY THERE WAS AN EXIT THAT WAS CLOSE SO THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO TAKE A FORCED EXIT TO AVOID FROM HITTING ME. UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENED, I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. I WAITED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND HESITANTLY DECIDED TO TRY TO RESTART THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT, ONLY TO GO ABOUT 2 MILES AND IT HAPPEN AGAIN. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND TOOK BACK STREETS ALL THE WAY HOME TO KEEP ME FROM GETTING INTO A WRECK. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ABOUT 4 TIMES UNTIL I MADE IT HOME AND PARK IT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A HEADACHE EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. ONE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT, THE GAS TANK SUNK AND PRETTY MUCH FELL INTO THE CAR SO DEEP THAT I COULD NO LONGER GET THE PUMP TO THE TANK TO FILL GAS. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THAT, THE WHEELS STARTED SQUEALING, AND THIS WAS UNABLE TO BE FIXED. THE BOLTS THAT ARE USED UNDER THE HOOD DO NOT FIT THE CAR SO THINGS WOULD CONSTANTLY LOOSEN AS I DROVE IT AND EVENTUALLY ARE REPOSITIONED EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE REPLACED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIPS. THERE'S SUBSTANCE MUCH LIKE ADHESIVE GLUE THROUGHOUT THE CAR ON CERTAIN PARTS WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IF THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW. ALL AROUND POORLY MADE CAR, YOU WILL END UP PAYING THE DOUBLE THE AMOUNT VALUED BASED ON THE REPAIRS. HORRIBLE. HOLD THIS MAKER ACCOUNTABLE, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. LIVES ARE AT DANGER.

ON MARCH 8, 2019, WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A RURAL ROAD, THE ENGINE STALLED CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND THE RPMS TO DROP TO 0. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. ON THIS OCCASION I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE BATTERY FAILED DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. ON MARCH 22, 2019 WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN CAUSING THE RPMS TO DROP TO 0. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT/CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WAS MALFUNCTIONING. AFTER SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH I LOCATED SAFETY RECALL S89 / NHTSA 16-V-907 CRANKSHAFT CAMSHAFT SENSOR WIRE HARNESS ISSUED IN FEBRUARY 2017 AFFECTING 2016 DODGE JOURNEY, 2016 JEEP COMPASS AND 2016 JEEP PATRIOT.

HUNDREDS OF OTHERS ON FORUMS FOR THE JEEP PATRIOT NO MATTER THE YEAR ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER! IT'S NOT SAFE! SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. NOT TO MENTION IT SHOULD NEVER HAD HAPPENED TO A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE! IF WE WANT THESE PROBLEMS WE WOULD PURCHASE USED CARS. NOW I AM IN FEAR OF IT DOING IT AGAIN BECAUSE IT'S DRIVING THE SAME NOT GOING WHEN GASSED JERKING FORWARD, EVEN IN IDLE, NOT JUST FOR SAFETY REASONS FOR FINANCIAL REASONS AS WELL.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE OF NEW 015 JEEP PATRIOT, WATER STARTED TO PENETRATE INSIDE OF CAR. OMING THROUGH FRONT INTERIOR LAMP. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, FOUND OUT CLOG IN DRAIN OF SUNROOF. 'FIXED' THEN APPX 6 MONTHS LATER, SAE LEAK STARTED. TRIED A DIFFRENT DEALERSHIP TRYING TO ACTUALLY GET IT FIXED FOR GOOD, THEY SAID IT WAS 'FIXED' BUT PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED FOR THREE YEAS. BROUGHT TO 3-4 DEALERSHIPS PLUS HAD 2 PRIVATE TECHS LOOKED AT IT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP ANDTHEY 'ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER' TO OVERSEE REPAIR BUT DEALER STATED THAT CLOG WAS FOUND AGAIN, GAVE CAR BACK AS 'FIXED' BUT AT DELIVERY, WATER WAS STILL LEAKING OUT OF INTERIOR LAMP. DEALER SAID 'ONLY RESIDUAL AND NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT' I ASKED SEVERAL TIMES AND SUGGESTED THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SUCH TROUBLE FOR TH PAST THREE YEARS. WATER FLOWS ALL DOWN THE DASH AND ELECTRIAL COMPONENTS. IF YOU GOOGLE, YOU WILL SEE HUNDREDS OF PATRIOT OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ONLY 'FIX' THAT DEALERSHIP/'WATER SPECIALISTS ' HAVE EVER PERFORMED IS 'CLEARING CLOG DRAIN OF SUNROOF. I AM NOT SURE WHY IT KEEPS CLOGGING. THE LAST DEALER STATED THAT IT IS GENERAL MAINTENANCE. I HVE OWNED MANY CARS WTH SUNROOFS ND HAVE NEVER HAD TO CLEAR DRAIN AS GENERAL MAINTENTANCE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS IF VEHICLE IS STATIOERY OR IN MOTION. IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJORY HIGHWAY CAUSING GREAT DISTRACTION.

THIS VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS. THE VEHICLE STALLED IN MULTIPLE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS INCLUDING SLOW DRIVING AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ON LEVEL OR INCLINES/DECLINES. THE VEHICLE WOULD BE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THEN COMPLETELY STALL AND SHUT OFF WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL FOR THE YEAR 2016 (SAFETY RECALL S89 / NHTSA 16V-907 CRANKSHAFT CAMSHAFT SENSOR WIRE HARNESS). THIS IS THE EXACT ISSUE THAT IS WRONG WITH OUR VEHICLE, BUT IT IS A 2015 MODEL YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE ON OUR FIRST REPAIR VISIT AND SO WE WERE PUT AT SAFETY RISK AGAIN WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED UNTIL BRINGING IT IN A SECOND TIME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

MY WIFE HAD THIS HAPPEN AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAUSED HER PROBLEMS WITH DRIVING AT NIGHT UNTIL THE REPAIR WAS MADE. MY MECHANIC STATED THAT HE HAD TO PERFORM THIS FIX ON 5 JEEPS WITHIN A MONTH. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS AND THE EMPLOYEE STATED THAT THEY HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AS WELL...

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS, CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING OR WARNING LIGHTS, NO ENGINE, NO POWER STEERING NO ELECTRICAL ANYTHING. THIS IS A DEATH TRAP AND SERIOUS BODILY HARM WAITING TO HAPPEN. HIGHLY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES AND HAS BEEN INTO THE JEEP DEALER 4 TIMES TO GET FIXED, TO NO AVAIL. IT KEEPS HAPPENING AND IS NOW BACK AT THE DEALER. LAST TIME, THEY REPLACED ABS MODULE AND BLED SYSTEM. STILL DIDN'T WORK. LOTS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS ONLINE OVER MANY YEARS. DATE IT HAPPENED IS FIRST TIME, BUT IT IS NOW IN SHOP FOR THE 4TH TIME. 2016 JEEP PATRIOTS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, BUT NO OTHER YEAR. WHY?!!!

TURNING LIGHTS ON IN THE CAR AND THE DASH LIGHTS FLASH 5 - 6 TIMES THEN GO OUT. DOESN'T MATTER IF VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING WHEN THIS OCCURS.HEADLIGHTS, RADIO & DOME LIGHT STILL WORK AS WELL AS TURN SIGNALS AND 4-WAY FLASHERS. WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON, I DO NOT HAVE ANY RUNNING LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS OR CUP HOLDER LIGHTS. CHECKED ALL FUSES AND ALL CHECKED GOOD. ALL INDICATIONS POINT TO BAD TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS OLD WITH NO AFTER MARKET WIRING. NOT HAVING RUNNING OR TAIL LIGHTS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE/CONCERN.

MY CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD AND MY BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES IN ADDITION TO NEW GETTING NEW ROTORS. PROBLEMS STARTED OCCURRING WHEN I ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR 6 MONTHS AND WHENEVER I BRAKE, IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL GRINDING ON METAL. NEITHER MY DEALERSHIP NOR JEEP THEMSELVES HAVE A REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR. IN ADDITION, MY CAR HAS ALSO HAD PROBLEMS STARTING. WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS, I HAVE HAD TWO INSTANCES OF TRYING TO TURN MY CAR ON AND THE BATTERY CAME ON, BUT THE CAR DID NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO TURN-OVER. IT TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO ACTUALLY GET IT STARTED. BEFORE NOW, MY CAR HAS HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE IT TAKES A WHILE FOR IT TO TURN OVER, WHICH IT EVENTUALLY DID COME ON, BUT IT WAS STRUGGLING AND I COULD TELL IT WAS VERY WEAK.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TROUBLE STARTING THE JEEP. IT APPEARS TO HAVE POWER BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR WON'T START. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ACCURATELY DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE NOW GETTING WORSE. THE JEEP HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER WHILE RUNNING AND I'VE HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH UNLOCKING THE DOOR. THE THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING HAS STARTING COMING IN DURING SOME OF THESE EPISODES. DESPITE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP AND DIRECTLY THROUGH CHRYSLER, I STILL HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE MADE THE ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING WELL KNOWN. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE COMPLETELY RESOLVED. I'M SHOCKED THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER WOULD ALLOW SUCH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD.

2015 JEEP PATRIOT HIGH ALTITUDE; COMPLETE POWER LOSS WHILE DRIVING @ 45 MPH. VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND LOST ALL POWER WHILE IN MOTION. WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A LOCAL ROAD, MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF & LOST ALL POWER. THE RADIO WENT OFF, MY DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, ALL GAUGES WENT DOWN AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK & NOT IN USE. THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER ON THE ROADS. DEALERSHIP HAS SAID VEHICLE, BUT WILL NOT REVEAL IF VEHICLE IS INFACT DEFECTIVE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE 2015, BRAND NEW. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR NEARLY 10 SEPERATE TIMES. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE & SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE MOVING. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF " ENGINE FAILURE " FOR THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. MY VEHICLE IS ONE OF MANY THAT IS UNSAFE, AND SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. FCA LLC, SHOULD HAVE ALL 2015 PATRIOT JEEPS RECALLED. THEY ARE BUILDING DANGEROUS & POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING VEHICLES. FCA MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR A RECALL. DEALERSHIP HAS POSSESSION OF MY VEHICLE & IT WILL NOT BE DRIVEN BY MYSELF UNTIL THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE ENGINE FAILURE.

THE SECOND TO THE LAST DAY OF HUNTING SEASON MY HUSBAND. AND I WENT UP ABOVE OUR HOUSE, ABOUT 15 MILES, WE WERE IN LIGHT SNOW, AND I COULD NOT GET THE THROTTLE TO ENGAGE CAUSED US TO SLIDE BACK A LITTLE AGAIN TRIED TO USE THROTTLE TO GO, MY HUSBAND SAW A WISP OF SMOKE ON PASSENGER SIDE, I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, MY HUSBAND LOOKS UNDER WHERE THE SMOKE CAME FROM AND THE RACK N PINION BOOT WHERE ON FIRE, I POPPED THE HOOD, FLAMES WERE TO HOT FOR HIM TO OPEN THE HOOD. I WALKED DOWN THE ROAD TO SAFETY, AS MY HUSBAND GOT OUT WHAT HE COULD OF OUR BELONGINGS OUT AND INTO THE SNOW BANK. AND IN THAT FEW MINUTES THE FLAMES WERE INSIDE THE CAB AND WINDOWS WERE EXPLODING, NEXT THE TIRES AND THE PAINT ETC.....THE SPARE TIRE ALSO BLEW FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR. MY HUSBAND LEFT BEFORE THE GAS TANK BLEW IF IT DID WE DON'T KNOW. WE HAD TO WALK 15 MILES SOAKING WET . WE ARE BOTH DISABLED WITH NECK AND BACK INJURIES. THIS JEEP IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION. WHAT WORRIES US IS THAT HAD SOMEONE BEEN CONFINED BY WHEEL CHAIR OR CHILDREN IN A CAR SEAT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY ACCIDENT.
