2015 JEEP PATRIOT Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, there was a loud knocking sound coming from the engine. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to Customer Satisfaction Program: S18: (Engine Oil Consumption); however, the vehicle was not included in the program. The contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated momentarily while starting the vehicle and while driving. The contact stated the failure had been recurring after refueling the vehicle. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

Mileage: 150,000

Pressure plate replaced twice and still not working with only 27301 miles. Went in for routine oil change no problems during the last warranty oil change things start to change. Returned to the dealership to express problem report back oil needed top off. Checked for recalls none reported. Truck continued to drive funny popping out of gear when driving and speed decrease while driving on the interstate. No warning lights or any indication something was wrong. I haven't driven my truck in three years due to dealership not having staff and no one is willing to work on Jeep vehicles. Total waste of money and no support. The sad part the tow truck driver towed my neighbors car and remembered towing my truck and stated he has towed many more since.

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.

Vehicle pulling to the right when accelerating from complete stop. Excessive vibration noticeable when idling

The transfer case is shot. As well as the rear differential. As a result of the transfer case messing up, the transmission is tore up. We need struts as well.

While driving the vehicle will randomly, without warning or any dash notification icons alerted, turn off engine- radio, lights, a/c everything else is still on but engine is off. This occurred 4 times in less than a 2 mile distance without any check engine or notification lights on the dash before, during, or after the event. This issue originally started about a week ago, when the check engine and throttle system notification icons came on, followed immediately by the car going into what seemed to be limp mode. Car was towed to the jeep dealership, they said issue was the battery and that an oil change was needed. Had issues addressed took the car how two days later, same issue occurred again. While driving same two icons suddenly came on then car went immediately into limp mode and was not driveable. Took the car back to the jeep dealer, they took a few days to drive it and stated it was the fuel throttle body that needed to be replaced. Had the part replaced and the car drove as normal, no icons on dash after the repair, next morning same issue occurred again while driving, icons come on dash, immediately car goes into limp mode. Circling back to the biggest concern, is I’ve found large amounts of owners having the exact same if not oddly similar issues with varying years of the jeep patriots. Many are reporting my reason for this report in that suddenly after Jeep dealers require all these repairs they’re experiencing the engine completely shutting off WHILE DRIVING. This is incredibly dangerous and I’m concerned as to why there A. Isn’t a repair for this common issue in these models, and B. Why a recall hasn’t been submitted for the most dangerous scenario where many owners are having their cars engines shut down while driving, and some at high speeds. This is incredibly dangerous and frustrating that our safety has not been addressed when online there are years worth of forums for these issues without resolution.

Engine stalls/shuts off while driving. No warning given. Even after having my fuel pump and throttle body replaced, the issue still occured. There seems to be a recall for other vehicles but mine isnt listed.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while driving at various speeds with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the vehicle was shifted to park and turned off. After waiting for several minutes, the vehicle was restarted and regained power; however, the vehicle was sputtering while starting. The check engine warning light illuminated with a red lightning bolt flashing when the failure occurred. The failure reoccurred after being repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the electronic throttle body had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure recurred a second time and the vehicle was returned to the mechanic but was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 124,000.

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.

Catalytic converter is bad. Check engine light is on. Other 2015 Patriots have a recall for catalytic converter recall but mine is not on that list. Should be.

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)

I nearly died this time. The crankshaft sensor was replaced like advised and the engine stalled turning left in an intersection. Official Complaint #2. Thankfully no one was behind me. See previous complaint for more details.

Key takeaways from the information you’ve provided: 1.Your engine’s RPM drops to zero randomly while driving and idling. 2.The engine loses power, accompanied by the traction control light flashing. 3.Power steering is lost within 10 seconds after the power loss. 4.Transmission range sensor (NSS) was replaced, but there might be an adjustment issue. 5.Shifting from reverse to neutral is difficult, while shifting from drive to neutral is fine. 6.Taillights don’t change during difficulty shifting down from reverse. 7.A code reader showed an ABS code: c1221 after the NSS replacement. 8.The negative terminal clamp may need replacement. 9.Engine issues might be related to temperature or transmission shifts.

For the last 3-4 months my Jeep has been going into limp mode while in motion, sometimes at high speeds. There seems to be no pattern anymore and I’ve replaced the parts mechanics have suggested.

On 5 occasions at various speeds and types of roads, my vehicle suddenly goes into limp mode, the engine shuts off and power steering goes out. I have very limited time and control to move off the road before the car behind me slams into me. The majority of the instances this has happened, the orange anti-skid light comes on though road conditions were fine. I found a recall of 2016 Jeep Patriots (s89/NHTSA 16-v-907 Crankshaft/Camshaft Sensor Wire Harness) and many complaints I've found experiencing the same thing I experienced were included in this recall. Mechanic ran my Jeep's code and it showed a number of things were triggered but he couldn't pinpoint what exactly could be the cause based on the code errors. I have a young child in a car seat in the back of my car and feel extremely unsafe taking her anywhere, let alone when it's just me in the car. Please consider adding the 2015 Patriot to this recall.

Jeep entered limp mode right as I was pulling out on to the street. Brought the car into a mechanic to have it diagnosed, turns out to be the ETC. Call a dealership to get a estimate on cost, they told me that a significant portion the jeep patriots from that year are currently experiencing this, to the point where the part is on back order nation wide. Estimated repair cost $1400. 40,000 miles.

Engine stalls upon acceleration from a dead stop major safety concern. Mechanic says it’s crankshaft sensor which the 2016 Jeep Patriot recall was for the same issue.

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

While driving the car RPM dropped to zero, I pressed the gas pedal, and RPMs went back to normal engine continued to work. The crank shaft sensor was replaced, it drove for another month (approximately) before it began with the same issue. This time I was driving on the highway (twice). The third time I was on a busy street when it happened with complete loss of power and the stability control light came on. This is so dangerous and could possibly cause an accident. After looking into this issue, I have found that this is not a common occurrence and there is even a recall for this exact reason for the 2016 Jeep Patriots. The vehicle was taken to the local Jeep dealership, and they stated there was no way of knowing what the issue is without the check engine light coming on. I find this hard to believe knowing that there are many instances of this happening and a recall on a newer model for the same thing. They replaced the Crank Shaft Sensor (which had already been replaced) and two cam shaft sensors, replaced the catalytic converter that was recalled and the passenger side seat which had deployed. We were charged nearly $800. This is outrageous considering this is a dangerous issue that has been recalled on the 2016 models. Jan 31, 2023, NHTSA reached out to Ms. Eanes for additional information involving issues of the Crankshaft in the 2015 Jeep Patriot.

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

the engine cuts out and stalls as you are driving, this is intermittent but happens often

I WAS SITTING STATIONARY LEAVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT WAITING TO TURN RIGHT ONTO A MAIN ROAD FROM A BUSINESS. AS TRAFFIC CLEARED AND I BEGAN TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC NUMEROUS MALFUNCTION LIGHTS SHOWED ON THE DASH, SOME SOLID AND ONE FLASHING, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I LOST ALL THROTTLE CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY IDLE OR VERY SLIGHTLY ACCELERATE TO 1-2 MPH. THIS CAUSED OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD TO BRAKE AGGRESSIVELY OR CHANGE LANES TO AVOID HITTING ME. I WAS ABLE TO IDLE TO THE NEXT ENTRANCE AND PULL THE CAR OVER AND PARK IT. WAS NECESSARY TO RECOVER THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR FACILITY AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS AN INTERNALLY FAILED THROTTLE MOTOR CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO "LIMP MODE". THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER HAD THE NEW THROTTLE MOTOR IN STOCK INDICATING TO ME THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON PARTS FAILURE. THIS SITUATION WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE ENDED UP MUCH WORSE.

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!!

Mileage: 70,000

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.

Mileage: 123,000

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.

DRIVING ALONG AT SPEEDS OF 35 MPH, THE ENGINE RANDOMLY SHUT OFF, LOCKED THE STEERING WHEEL, AND CAME TO A STOP. THIS OCCURRED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED ON A STATE ROUTE 28. A MANUAL RESTART OF THE VEHICLE WAS REQUIRED EACH TIME, AND THE ISSUE OCCURS DAILY. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS, SPEEDS, TIMES OF DAY, ETC. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE.

Mileage: 57,434

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY TWICE IN 9 MONTHS WITH 90K MILEAGE AND IT STILL STUTTERS AFTER BOTH REPLACEMENTS.

THE ENGINE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING, DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE CRANKSHAFT OR CAMSHAFT SENSOR ON THE ENGINE. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 60,000

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.

THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WAS REPAIRED IN NOVEMBER OF 2019. IT IS JULY OF 2020, I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 2500 MILES SINCE THE INITIAL REPAIR AND THE VEHICLE IS PRODUCING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS IT WAS BEFORE THE REPAIR. IT HESITATES, ALMOST STALLS, AND LUNGES WHILE DRIVING. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE DRIVE BY WIRE WARNING LIGHT ALL FLASH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND RUNNING.

Mileage: 61,000

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.

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.

Mileage: 70,000

HAD ISSUES WITH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BUT WAS REPAIRED PRIOR TO RECEIVING THE RECALL PAPERWORK. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THIS WAS THE COPY OF THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC. I PAID OUT OF POCKET TO GET REPAIRED.

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

2015 JEEP PATRIOT HAD A PROBLEM STARTING TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE EVENT. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER WHILE PARKED. AFTER WAITING FIVE MINUTES, I TURNED THE KEY AGAIN AND IT STARTED. THEN, TWO DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING. FOR THE NEXT 20 SECONDS IT OSCILLATED BETWEEN ACCELERATING AND COASTING WHILE I HELD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. AS I COASTED TOWARDS AN UPCOMING OFF-RAMP, I LOST POWER STEERING. ONCE I WAS OFF THE FREEWAY, I HAD TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALERSHIP. THEY RAN THEIR "DIAGNOSTIC TESTS" AND FOUND NOTHING. THEY TEST DROVE THE CAR FOR 10 MILES AND WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUES. THEY UPDATED THE PCM AND TCM AND RAN THEIR COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AGAIN. NOTHING WAS FOUND. I FEEL INCREDIBLY UNSAFE DRIVING MY JEEP PATRIOT NOW. I ESCALATED THE ISSUE TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE WHO WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME UNTIL THE PROBLEMS ARE RECREATED AND DOCUMENTED BY A DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. 2016 JEEP PATRIOTS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS VERY REASON. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS?

Mileage: 39,700

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.

Mileage: 60,000

CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THROTTLE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. VECHILE BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND IMMEDIATELY FLASHED THE LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING LIGHT DROPPING FROM 80MPH TO 10 MPH. THIS WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VECHILE VIOLENTLY SPUTTERING. VECHILE WILL START BUT WHEN DRIVE IS ENGAGED AT LOW RPM NOTHING HAPPENS. WITH ACCELERATION THE CAR WILL SPUTTER AND NOT GET PAST 15 MILES PER HOUR. DURING SPUTTERING NO POWER STEERING IS AVALIBLE AND BRAKING IS MADE DIFFICULT WITH SPUTTERING.

Mileage: 103,000

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.

THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STOP WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING ON A CITY STREET IN BOSTON. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE NEAREST GARAGE WHERE THEY REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, BUT THEN AN ENGINE CODE CAME UP SAYING THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I AM UNSURE IF THIS WAS RELATED TO THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR ISSUE OR JUST A COINCIDENCE. THE CAR THEN HAD TO BE TOWED TO A JEEP DEALER TO REPLACE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND RELEARN THE SENSORS. I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2016 JEEP PATRIOTS FOR THE SAME CRANKSHAFT PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING IN 2015 JEEP PATRIOTS. THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING AND IT IS FORTUNATE THAT THIS HAPPENED AT ~20MPH, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST STEERING ABILITY. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOUR OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO HENDRIX JEEP CHRYSLER FIAT (543 N MCPHERSON CHURCH RD, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28303) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY, SPARK PLUGS, AND AIR FILTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED TWICE AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AFTER THE LAST FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

MY JEEP STARTS STALLING AND SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING. IT IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. WE HAVE SPENT OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS FIXING THIS ISSUE.AS WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR STALLS THEN COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN, NO WARNING CAUSES PEOPLE TO SLAM ON BREAKS OR SWERVE TO NOT HIT INTO. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS

VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING, STALLED ON BUSY ROADS, ON HILLS, TURNING CORNERS, ECT. STALLING OCCURRED AT INFREQUENT INTERVALS. SOMETIMES 3 TIMES A DAY, THEN WOULDN'T HAPPEN FOR A FEW WEEKS. SOMETIMES THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON AFTER THE STALLING. SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD START RIGHT BACK UP WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE KEY, BUT THEN DIE AGAIN AFTER TRAVELING 50-100 FEET. MECHANICS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSIS PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND NO ERROR REPORT WAS GENERATED . FINALLY, AFTER 2 MONTHS OF TROUBLE, THE CAR FINALLY SHOWED AN ENGINE ERROR CODE AFTER STALLING. CODE WAS FOR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. HAD IT REPAIRED FOR $162.40. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN YOUR CAR DIES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THERE IS NO AREA TO SAFELY COAST TO OUT OF THE WAY OF DANGER. ALWAYS FEARFUL OF GETTING REAR-ENDED. MECHANICS CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE IS UNTIL THERE IS AN ENGINE LIGHT ON. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT IT, BUT JEEP HASN'T WARNED CUSTOMERS OF THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION CHRYSLER JEEP WEST (LOCATED AT 16300 W COLFAX AVE, GOLDEN, CO 80401, (303) 578-6104), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED.

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.

OVER THE PAST MONTH THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS COME ON WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE. JUST LIKE OTHERS HAVE REPORTED, IT COMES ON WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY & JUST DIES, YOU CAN'T STEER THE CAR OR ANYTHING. OR YOU GO TO ACCELERATE AND IT DIES & YOU ALMOST GET REAR-ENDED. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MANY REPORTS ARE ON HERE SIMILAR TO MINE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS ONE FOR THE 2016 PATRIOT. WHAT WILL IT TAKE, SOMEONE DYING? THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR CAR WILL JUST DIE WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH & YOU CAN'T STEER OR ANYTHING!

MY CAR IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES I CAN NOT EVEN DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE - IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER ONE YEAR AND I AM PAYING FOR A CAR I CANT DRIVE I HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT

WHILE I AM DRIVING, THE CAR STOPS RUNNING., THE ENGINE CUTS OFF. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR NEUTRAL TO RESTART THE ENGINE. SOMETIMES IT WILL START UP SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WAIT ON IT TO STARTS. TODAY IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND IT DID NOT START BACK UP..THE CAR HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT THE STREET. MY JEEP WILL STOP ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHILE DRIVING UP TO SPEED, IT WILL STOP ON RURAL STREETS AND WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT IT WILL SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN..THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT ONLY SHUTS DOWN WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3 MONTHS.

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.

Mileage: 42,384

AS OF 12/18/2018, MY CAR HAS BEGUN TO DIE AS I PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR AFTER BEING AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, IT EVEN DIED OUT OF NO WHERE, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING BACK HOME AND THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS BEHIND HIM AS HE WAS PASSING THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR JERKED AND DECIDED TO TURN OF COMPLETELY. HE PUT IT ON PARK AND STARTED UP LIKE NORMAL BUT NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON OR ANYTHING. EVER SINCE I GOT THIS CAR IN FEBRUARY OF 2016, TAKE NOTE THAT MY JEEP ONLY HAS 65000 MILES AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL NOW. IT IS TERRIFYING BECAUSE EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, CARS BEHIND ME WERE VERY CLOSE TO REAR ENDING MY CAR. THIS IS A BIG AND SCARY ISSUE FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE READ ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES THAT THEIR JEEP PATRIOTS HAVE DIED ON THE HIGHWAY... I HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD THAT I TAKE BACK AND FORTH TO A BABY SITTER EVERY WEEKDAY, AND THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY DAUGHTER AND FOR PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND ME AS WELL. I HAVE READ ON A NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF WEBSITES WHERE OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I KEEP MY OIL CHANGES UP TO DATE AND I JUST CHANGED MY SPARK PLUGS. SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO HAVE IT CHECKED BECAUSE OF WHAT I HAVE READ I SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE NOT HAD LUCK WITH TAKEN IT TO A SHOP I WOULD HATE FOR THIS ISSUE TO CAUSE SOMEBODY TO REAR END ME ON THE STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY. EITHER BEING ON THE STREETS OR THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE AND INJURY TO ME, MY 3 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AND TO THE PEOPLE AROUND ME.HOPEFULLY THEY HAVE A RECALL SOON!

70K MILES IT STARTED STALLING WHILE I WAS DRIVING, MAINLY IN CITY GOING 25-45MPH. THE 1ST TIME I HAD HAVE IT JUMPSTARTED. 2ND AND 3RD TIME I WAS NOT ABLE TO JUMPSTART. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE CODE FOR THE ABS MODULE CAME UP SO THEY REPLACED IT. THE REPAIR COST $550 AND I DROVE IT 3 DAYS AND THE CAR DIED AGAIN WHILE GOING THROUGH A STOPLIGHT, THEY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. THEY SAID THE CONNECTION WIRE WAS BAD TO THE NEW ABS MODULE THEY REPLACED SO THEY REPLACED THE CONNECTOR. I DROVE IT A WEEK, THE RPMS DROPPED OUT AND ENGINE STALLED WHILE GOING 70MPH. SAME THING HAPPEN A WEEK LATER WHILE ACCLERATING ON AN ON RAMP. NOW ITS 3 DAYS AFTER THE LAST TIME IT DIED AND IT HAS STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY, AND I HAVE TO WAIT 2-3 MINS WITH THE ENGINE SHUT OFF THEN I AM ABLE TO RESTART IT. THIS CAR IS NOT RELIABLE, I HAVE NO WARNING OF WHEN IT WILL SHUT OFF OR IF I WILL BE STRANDED AND HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED. ITS SCARY GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH AND THE ENGINE DIES!!!

I AM SEEING MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT USED TO KICK BACK WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING WHICH DEVELOPED INTO A STALL AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY GAVE ME NEW SPARK PLUGS AND CLEANED MY AIR INTAKE VALVES IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THE CAR GIVES NO WARNING OR CODE TO DESCRIBE WHAT IS HAPPENING. FOR ABOUT A WEEK THERE WERE NO ISSUES AND THEN IT STALLED ON ME TWICE TODAY AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND ACCELERATED ONCE IT TURNED GREEN BUT IT STALLED BEFORE I COULD MAKE IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I COULD BARELY STEER OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES, HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF. THEN I HAVE TO SIT THERE FOR A COUPLE MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE CAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR ESPECIALLY DURING RUSH HOUR.

ON 11/5/18, MY FIANC WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, ABOUT 65 MILES AN HOUR, WHEN THE CAR ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THIS CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO STOP WORKING. SHE WAS BARELY ABLE TO COAST OFF OF THE FREEWAY, STRUGGLING TO STEER IT, WITHOUT HITTING OTHER VEHICLES ON THE BUSY FREEWAY. IT SAT FOR FOUR HOURS, AND THEN IT STARTED AGAIN. IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST FOUR TIMES IN A WEEK, ON CITY STREETS AND STOP LIGHTS, AND WOULDN'T START NUMEROUS TIMES THE CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 35,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN WOODBRIDGE VA., FOR A SENSOR CHIP REPLACEMENT ON 11/10/18. THAT EVENING, AFTER TAKING IT HOME, IT WOULDN'T START. IT WILL BE TOWED BACK TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP ON 11/12/18. THERE SEEMS TO BE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY OR WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM HAS NOT INITIATED A RECALL, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLES PEOPLE ARE REPORTING ON ARE SO LOW, INCLUDING ONE WITH ONLY 11,000 MILES. IT'S OBVIOUSLY A JEEP PROBLEM. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A FATALITY IN ORDER TO INITIATE A RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING I MADE A RIGHT TURN AND THEN THE "TIRE LIGHT" BEGAN TO FLASH AND A WARNING SOUND WAS HEARD THEN THE "TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT" BEGAN TO FLASH AND ALERT SOUND WAS HEARD AND THEN A "RED LIGHTNING BOLT" WARNING LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE "ENGINE LIGHT" TURNED ON, ALL LIGHTS WERE LIT UP AND THE ENGINE STALLED AND COULDN'T GET PASSED 20MPH EVEN THOUGHT THE ACCELERATOR WAS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY LESS THAN 32000 MILES, AND HAS HAD ITS REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON JEEP PATRIOT FORUMS AND SEEN THAT THE 2014 AND 2016 HAD RECALLS FOR THIS OR RELATED ISSUE. WHEN STOPPING THE VEHICLE IDLES HIGH AND STILL MOVES EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE IS FULLY PRESSED, AND THE TEMPERATURE RISES FAST. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A CITY STREET SO LUCKILY THE WASN'T MUCH TRAFFIC. THE LIGHTS CAME ON BEFORE I LOST ENGINE POWER AND I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THEY WENT AWAY BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN THE SECOND TIME IT OCCURRED, THE LIGHTS STAYED ON AND THAT'S WHEN I ALSO LOST ENGINE POWER AND THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. MOVES FINE IN REVERSE BUT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS IDLING REALLY HIGH IT TAKES OFF IN REVERSE BY ITSELF WITHOUT USING THE ACCELERATOR.

Mileage: 31,700

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE WILL STALL. THE ONLY INDICATION I HAVE THAT IT HAS STALLED OR IS GOING TO STALL IS THE RPM'S DROP TO ZERO. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS BUT CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ALMOST EVERYDAY SINCE THE END OF JULY BEGINNING OF AUGUST. IT HAPPENS 2 OR 3 TIMES A DAY THEN NOTHING FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEN STARTS UP AGAIN. THANKFULLY THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED WHEN I'M DRIVING 65MPH BECAUSE I HAVE NO WARNING AND THE VEHICLE JUST STOPS, I CAN BARELY GET PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

SINCE JUNE 2018 I'VE EXPERIENCED ON GOING ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. WHILE DRIVING THE ENTIRE FRONT END STARTS TO SHAKE, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON AND THEN THE CAR STALLS. I LOOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND STEER DURING THIS TIME. FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS IN DELAWARE ON THE HIGHWAY, THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. SINCE THEN THE CAR SKIPS DURING DECELERATION MOSTLY WHEN THE GEARS SHIFT IN TRAFFIC, GOING ON ROTARIES OR ATTEMPTING TO COME OFF /ON RAMP.. WENT TO MY USUAL MECHANICS RAN CODES ENDED UP REPLACING SENSOR IN THE ENGINE. THE CAR AGAIN STARTS TO SKIP AND HAS ONGOING ISSUES ACCELERATING. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS I'VE ALMOST BEEN IN A COUPLE ACCIDENTS FROM WHEN IT DECIDES IT'S TIME TO ACCELERATE, RANDOM ENGINE SHUT OFF AND INABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN IT MATTERS. I CALLED JEEP APPARENTLY THEY ARE HAVING LOTS OF ISSUES RELATED TO THIS.

APRIL 2017, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE. ETC AND ENGINE LIGHT WERE LIT UP, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. PULLED OVER AT NEAREST EXIT. SHUT OFF CAR AND TRIED TO RESTART, CAR WOULD NOT START. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AUGUST 2018, WHILE WAITING AT STOP LIGHT I STARTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. CAR WAS SHAKING AND DID NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE. TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. HAD TO SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY STREET. CAR RESTARTED, THE NEXT DAY ONLY ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. WHILE AT STOP LIGHT AND FOOT ON THE BREAK THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. ALL LIGHTS AND RADIO STAYED ON. RESTARTED CAR, DRIVING FINE. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AGAIN (AND WANTED TO DO SO AT MY EXPENSE). WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RETURN MY CAR, IT SHUT OFF ON THEM. THEY RETURNED IT TO ME SAYING IT HAD BEEN FIXED. NEXT DAY PROBLEM PERSISTED AND BECAME MORE FREQUENT. TOOK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REPLACED SENSOR CAM AND SENSOR CRA TO MY EXPENSE. NOW MY BREAKS ARE SHAKING. IT'S A THREE YEAR OLD CAR. I'M THE SECOND OWNER. IT SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS. I'M NOT SPENDING MORE MONEY AT THE DEALERSHIP. I'M SELLING THE VEHICLE. I'LL BE SURE TO NEVER PURCHASE JEEP OR ANY OTHER CHRYSLER BRANDS.

STATRTING ON 23. MAY, 2018 MY VEHICLE STARTED RANDOMLY DYING WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF PROPULSION, THE RPMS DROP TO ZERO AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPS RUNNING. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE VEHICLE MOVING AGAIN WHEN IT DOES START IS TO COMPLETELY STOP, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAS NO PREFERENCE OR INDICATION OF WHEN IT IS GOING TO DO THIS, SO FAR IT HAS DIED WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 60 MILES AN HOUR, TURNING INTO A PARKING STALL IN A BUSY MALL PARKING, WHILE CLIMBING HILLS AND WHILE GOING DOWN HILLS. THIS INFORMATION WAS GIVEN TO FCA ALONG WITH THE MILEAGE WHICH IS ROUGHLY 37800 MILES. I HAVE BEEN DIRECTED TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR DIAGNOSTICS FOR THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY SEARCH JEEP PATRIOT FORUMS.COM OFF OF CHRYSLER WEBSITE AND YOU CAN FIND A LIST OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS DATING BACK AS FAR AS 2010 WHEN CHRYSLER RECALLED NEARLY HALF A MILLION VEHICLES FOR A VERY SIMILAR ISSUE

WHILE IN MOTION ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY THE CAR HAS UNEXPECTEDLY LOST POWER. THIS HAS NOT BEEN A ONE TIME ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING, WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, DRIVING UP A HILL, AND ALL OTHER INSTANCES WHERE YOUR CAR IS IN MOTION. I AM TERRIFIED TO BE IN THE CAR, BUT THIS OUR ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THE DEALERSHIP THAT SERVICES US HAS TOLD US THAT MANY OTHER 2015 JEEP PATRIOTS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HE SAID THAT IT COULD BE THE THROTTLE BODY OR POSSIBLY SOMETHING ELSE- THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED ELUSIVE RESULTS. THE MAN WHO LOOKED AT THE JEEP SAID THAT HE CONTACTED CHRYSLER HOPING THAT THEY WOULD "GOODWILL" THE NEEDED REPAIRS, AS WE JUST PASSED THE WARRANTY BY 1000 MILES. CHRYSLER REFUSED DESPITE THIS MAN'S PERSISTENCY TO ASSIST US. BUT OUR JEEP NIGHTMARE DOES NOT END THERE. BEFORE 15,000 MILES, A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE PUT IN. NOW AT 37,000 MILES THE CAR IS PRESENTING TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THROTTLE BODY ISSUES. WE WERE ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IT HAS PROVEN ITSELF TO BE UNSAFE, AND AS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THIS IS OUR ONLY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION. SO NOW WE ARE STARING AT OUR PARKED CAR THAT SOMETIMES DOES NOT EVEN START, WHILE MAKING PAYMENTS ON SAID VEHICLE, WHICH HAS BEEN DEEMED TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE, PAYING ADDITIONAL MONEY TO BE DRIVEN AROUND TO WORK AND SCHOOL, AND DEALING WITH SUBSTANDARD CUSTOMER SERVICE. WHAT A JOY!

THE ENGINE ON MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT DIES WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY. IT TYPICALLY WILL HAPPEN ONCE THE CAR IS WARMED UP. IT WILL HAPPEN MOST OFTEN WHEN I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY TO GET TO TRAFFIC SPEEDS. IN THIS CASE, THE ENGINE WILL QUIT AND THE CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY SLOW. IF THERE IS A CAR BEHIND ME, THERE IS NO INDICATION TO THAT CAR THAT I AM IMMEDIATELY SLOWING. VERY DANGEROUS! THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHILE I'M TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THE ENGINE JUST QUITS AND THEN RESTARTS ON ITS OWN. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN I SLOW TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. THE ENGINE WILL SIMPLY DIE AND MUST BE RE-STARTED.

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.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE CAR HESITATED, LOST SPEED, AND THEN CUT OFF (LOST COMPRESSION) WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT NEVER CAME ON (BEFOREHAND) TO ALERT THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINE PROBLEM. THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE LOSES AIR (CONSTANTLY) AND I'VE HAD TO PUT AIR IN THE TIRE (SINCE PURCHASE DATE 3/13/15) EVERY OTHER WEEK AND THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS INSISTING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

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.
