2016 JEEP PATRIOT Electrical System Problems

Vehicle began not accelerating and then shut-off. Check engine light was not on, but it sputters. I put it in the shop and was told it's the engine and needs replacing.

While driving my 2016 Jeep Patriot on multiple occasions, the engine suddenly shuts off without warning. After shutting off the car would also have alot of issues restarting. I finally took it to multiple mechanics and they all indicated they couldn't find out exactly what was the problem, given nothing showed up on their diagnostics testing's. After the car finally wouldn't start anymore, i got it towed to the dealership and they diagnosed the car with failed crankshaft sensor (which has already been recalled on a chunk of the 2016 Jeep patriots manufactured).

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle momentarily shut off, causing the vehicle to decelerate unintendedly. Additionally, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 150,000.

Mileage: 150,000

On 3 separate occasions while driving the car will chime and ABS, traction control & a third light (I think its the low tire) quickly blinks on and goes off again. The car will still be on and in motion. Today, the car shut off while idle. No lights were on prior and I had been driving for just under 10 minutes. After a period of 2-3 minutes, I tried to crank the engine again and it came on, no lights on dash. I drove to my destination.

Thank you for taking the time to review my inquiry. My 2016 Jeep Patriot has experienced issues with the engine shutting off intermittently while driving at significant speeds and losing control of my vehicle, especially while on the highway. This has created some dangerous situations, which thankfully never caused any harm. After doing some research, I noticed that Jeep had a safety recall for this exact issue "S89 / NHTSA 16V-907, Crankshaft Camshaft Sensor Wire Harness." My 2016 Jeep Patriot has experienced failures with the crankshaft position sensor listed in that recall twice now (in September 2022 & December 2024). My VIN # [XXX] ) is not included in that recall, so I was denied reimbursement by the manufacturer both times even though the dealer was able to reproduce the issues both times (see attached receipts). After experiencing this twice, this has been severely disturbing for my family and has caused much anxiety when operating my vehicle. I have attached the associated receipts for the two repairs and summarized them below (both paid with credit card): - September 2022 - Maryland Auto & Truck Repair: $1,082.07 - December 2024 - Tate Dodge Chrysler Jeep, Inc.: $684.04 TOTAL Reimbursement Request: $1,766.11 My belief is that my vehicle should have been included in that recall since it is the same year/make/model listed in the recall. I sincerely hope that NHTSA can honor this request. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have had constant electrical issues with my vehicle ever since I bought it in 2018 and I've had to replace the TIPM twice already and it's messing up again! This repair isn't cheap and I feel that JEEP MOPAR should issue a recall regarding the crappy TIPMS they put in this particular vehicle. First of all all the warning lights on the dashboard come off and on intermittentally for no reason and now the doors won't lock using the key fob and my horn doesn't work. And now my ac isn't even working and I don't know if it has something to do with the TIPM or not? But I'm constantly getting an error on the dash that says no bus communication. I know I can't be the only owner of a 2016 Jeep Patriot latitude 2.0 that is experiencing these issues. If anyone else had experienced these issues please send a message to the nhtsa so we can get this issue investigated and elevate it into a recall!

The car will stall while driving, making it tough to keep on the road and very dangerous for a crash. After taking to a Jeep dealership, it was determined the issue is associated with Safety Recall S89 / NHTSA 16V-907 regarding the crankshaft and camshaft sensors. Unfortunately, my car's VIN was not listed under the recall. I believe this was a mistake as it matches the exact description of car under the recall (This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with a 2.0L (sales code ECN or ECT) or 2.4L (sales code ED3 or ED7) engine built from May 08, 2016 through July 12, 2016 (MDH 050800 through 071216).

CAMSHAFT and CRANKSHAFT position sensors keep failing. I have gotten these replaced at a local auto shop 4 times in the 3 years I've had the vehicle. Each time they're replaced the PCM is flashed but issue comes back a couple days to a week later either when coming to a stop at an intersection or when driving up to 50 miles per hour, the acceleration doesn't work properly and RPMS shoot down to zero and back up. Car has also shut off when coming to a stop under 5 MPH and sometimes starts up again. Engine light and TCS light both come on when either sensor fails, car runs rough or doesn't start resulting in a tow to a shop. This is a huge safety risk and can cause a crash at any time. VIN does not have recall, but has all the issues described in the recall.

Problems started when the wheel and axel came off the vehicle on a side road 3 years ago. The vehicle dropped a wheel again when crossing the country a month later. Both incidents included my wife and passengers. That at least seems resolved. At 28900 miles or so we have been wrestling for the last year and some with intermittently all the warning lights coming on and now the car will occasionally lose all power while in motion. So we have taken it to the dealership where they say it requires a replacement of the electrical harness. Topping off, the driver seat rest safety mechanism deployed randomly this last week while the vehicle was parked in the driveway.

The horn stopped working 4 months after purchase I've had it for a year. It has a hard time accelerating when you're hopping on the freeway. There's also a wiring issue with the rear blinkers and taillight it works for a little bit then goes out off and on throughout the trip.

The check engine light came on. Checked it at an AutoZone. The error code was P0335, crankshaft position sensor. On the way to my mechanic, my vehicle stalled three time in 2 miles and had to pull over to a side. I felt lucky there were no vehicles behind me. Took it to a repair shop and the mechanic scanned it again. He told me to take it to a dealer because after entering my VIN, he was notified by his computer system that there is a recall notice out for this VIN. (S89) Called a Chrysler dealer but was told that there is no recall by the VIN. Called Chrysler corp and explained the situation. The rep said since the basic warranty expired, the repair service will not be covered under the recall. The engine was keep stalling and I had to repair the vehicle at the mechanics shop. Replaced the crankshaft position sensor and the harness assembly. After the repair, the problem no longer exists. Cost of repair totals $410.

On several different occasions my car has stalled in traffic and idled down for I couldn't drive had to pull over and turn it off and turn it back on to go again the check engine light then stability light will come on. Camshaft code I have fixed the cam and crankshaft sensors first time then it failed again so I changed them a second time now it's failed again .I almost got rear-ended a couple times very dangerous. Now my step button on the steering wheel and the horn quit working all of a sudden. I found out on the site of mopar that it is the electrical connector and terminal both cam sensors and crank sensors on certain vin numbers,all 2016 jeep patriots should have been included as others are having the same issues. I cannot afford to keep on putting money into this problem. This can be confirmed by my mechanic which replaced it twice. The dates this has happened are April 2023 worked for awhile then February 2024 happened again changed cam and crank sensors again. April 16 started failing again, limp mode have to pull over turn engine off turn it back on to go again. Every week at first now every few days. Engine light then traction stability light can't go over 10 miles per hour, pull over turn engine off turn it back on stability light goes off but engine light stays on for a day goes off the next day. I do not feel safe driving long distance anywhere and this can wear down your engine and vehicle life. I bought this car paid a lot of money for it for the comfort of knowing I would have something Dependable in my old age and can not keep on putting money into a problem that should have been on the recall list also. It only has 115,000 miles on it. I'm going to the Jeep dealer next week to see if Mopar can resolve this and pay for this issue. Also this happens if you're going 1 to 55 miles per hour reverse or forward doesn't matter.

Had Recall “fixed” just to have the supposedly fixed crankshaft sensor go bad and randomly stall when driving. They then say it was repaired even though it is having the same reason from the first recall. The fix is having intermittent electrical failure which causes it to stall with no warning no matter what speed you are going. It happened when I was going 20 and turning and again when I was on the highway driving 70. This is going to cause an accident. They said since the recall was already repaired I’m responsible for it

There is some sort of electrical issue. Things keep going in and out: internal lights, cruise control, turn signals in front and back go out 6-9 times a year, ABS light stays on even after it was serviced, the radio goes in and out. I lose power while driving snd allow the car to sit for a day or two and it cuts back on like nothing ever happened.

My ABS module has gone out, giving me an UNSAFE Jeep Patriot, now with ZERO ABS or Traction control, major issue in Tampa driving! Apparently, according to the dealer here, they're on "galactic back order" for a few years now; I couldn't even find one at a used parts store in the area...had to resort to Ebay, having it installed at the dealership this week, who says they'll install it (Janet) but they won't guarantee they can program it and it will reset those dash lights?!?! They can't guarantee it? Then something needs to be figured out to GUARANTEE I have a working Jeep, complete with ABS and traction control. This is a major, according to several people I've spoken with but there's no recall? If something is on back-order for the dealership for years, something needs to be done, you have Jeep customers riding around unsafely in vehicles they purchased WITH safety features, Feel free to call for more details. [XXX] [XXX] P.S. I'll have a receipt after I go to the Jeep dealer this week, have it installed WITH NO GUARANTEE, but it'll be in...might not work, but it'll be in...and that's good enough?!?!?!?!

While driving my vehicle on the highway the car turned off and I was unable to steer and/or turn the car back on. After I managed to get to the side of the road and then I managed to get it re-started. I took it to the dealership as it had a check engine light. The crankshaft electrical had thrown a code and I was advised to not drive my vehicle due to safety issues of the car "turning off" again without warning and that it could cause a crash. There were no previous warnings from my vehicle prior to this incident. I was given information from the Service Advisor for Chrysler recall S89-NHTSA 16V-907 but he stated that my vehicle didn't have that recall attached to it. The service advisor told me to report the issue to the NHTSA to get my vehicle inspected as he feels it should be included in the recall.

Head lights continue to dim way down. And now they flicker occasionally. Has not been looked at by anyone except a mobile mechanic. There is no warning, it doesn't happen only over bumps, it happens very randomly, and you never know when. Ive has the mobile mechanic add a set of LED lights because the headlights dim way down, to the point that the bright lights barely light the road to see. No certain dates, it happens randomly, many times since I've owned it, since 2021.

I have a 2016 jeep patriot that I purchased with very little miles on it used. Starting about 2 weeks ago I had an incident on the highway going 60mph and it just shut off and lost all power for a few seconds and started back up on its own. When this happened my steering got hard, brakes didnt work properly and could not accelerate. Was very scary and has been doing it more frequently now. This is a serious safety hazard for myself and others around me. I saw that there is a recall s89 for this model but mine is not within the dates and this makes no sense as it is the exact same problem. I ask that you respectfully reissue this recall to include a wider range of dates. Not to mention it is a fairly expensive repair that has to be done and should be taken care of by the manufacturer.

Traction light will come on intermittently and abs and brake lights will flash and go away intermittently and all lights on dash and headlights will dim, radio shuts off, rpms will drop to 0 then go back to normal all while driving. Both camshaft sensors have been replaced twice in under a year. All spark plugs have been replaced twice in under a year as well as the crankshaft sensor. Something is constantly draining my battery (headlights are set on auto and interior lights are always set to off) There was a recall for camshaft/crankshaft wiring but my vehicle was not included in the recall.

While driving down the road at night the headlights and dash lights go off for about a couple of seconds and then come back on. When this started happening the radio also stopped working in the vehicle.

My Jeep began having a few second stall and restart while driving randomly late 2020. I’m the last 6 months it stalls for longer periods of time but I initially was able to put it in neutral and restart it. About 4 months ago it became more and more difficult to start after I would be forced to pull to the side of the road with no power, hard steering and hard brakes. The check engine light came on at one point. I called the dealership and it was suggested that I take the Jeep in. The diagnostic code indicated the crankshaft position sensor (P0339). But the check engine light wasn’t flashing and it was late in the afternoon so I had to make an appointment to take it back. After 4 days the check engine light went off. The stalling just got very frequent. I would put it in park and turn the ignition repeatedly and after several minutes it would regain power. Just over 1 month ago it stalled in the middle of a busy intersection during afternoon rush hour. It had to be pushed out of the intersection. After more than 10 minutes of continued ignition turns it started and I made it 3 blocks to home and parked it. I had it towed to the same dealership 5 days ago. The crankshaft position sensor has to be replaced. I’ve done research over the last 48 hours and found there was a recall for some 2016 Jeep Patriots for the crankshaft position sensor because it was a safety problem. I’ve checked my VIN number and there has been no recall for this on my vehicle. However, my Jeep Patriot is a 2016 with the exact same problem the the recall was initiated for. Please help me with this if you’re able to. I don’t know where else to turn.

Vehicle stalls and doesn't start. Would also occasionally shake and the check engine light comes on. Throttle body was replaced less than 1 year ago and it is currently not starting due to the same issue. Needs another throttle body. It's the position sensor that seems to go bad due to all the heat generating around it. Both times it really acted up once the weather warned. Unfortunately you can't just replace the sensor, the whole throttle body needs replaced. At $350 each from the factory. Online it seems like a lot of people are having the same problem.

To whom it may concern I purchased a 2016 Jeep Patriot Sport on May 21 2022, the vehicle since date of purchase has been stalling at acceleration speeds of 65 MPH, as well as in reverse while parking while idle at stop light and stop sign upon stalling NO warning lamp has been present. I have contacted multiple jeep dealerships upon getting a diagnostic for this matter as well as recalls, I was told by jeep by customer service that they did not do recalls on the 2016 models any longer. In the mist of trying to get it serviced , By JEEP the vehicle was serviced 3 times in total by NYC AUTOMART with no avail. The crank shaft sensor was changed BY NYC AUTOMART twice still no solutions.

Vehicle keep stalling or losing power. We brought the Jeep to the dealer and they replaced the crankshaft and camshaft position connectors. The Jeep was "repaired" and the problem persisted. We returned the Jeep to the dealer and they replaced the sensor. All in all the Jeep was in the shop for 2 weeks. We were informed that there was a recall on other models. The vehicle was manufactured during the same period (May 19th 20216) as the other Jeeps but they did not repair it without charging us $858.00 We tried to go through the Company but they did not want to hear our concerns. The recall department was adamant that if the VIN Number was not listed they could not help us. We are seeking relief and wish our Vehicle to be included in the recall, since it was built during the time frame and that they had to replace that same defective part.

I believe it's the engine or could have something to do with fuel. Car shuts off while in idle, mainly while sitting at a red light it shuts off/down completely. I then have to turn the switch to the on position to recrank it. It starts with no problem at all. Happens almost everyday. I've taken it to have it checked and they can't find any issues. It's been this way since I've gotten the car. Still no one can find the problem.

The suv uses large amounts of oil, no matter what brand. Also an electrical issue is present. The radio stops working, thr check engine light stays on. And the headlights dim way down. This happens randomly. The engine code reappears for p420, and i have fixed every component related to the code. The suv consumes approximately 2 quarts of oil in a months driving. The headlights dim so low, even with brights on, you can barely tell they are on.

The throttle body goes out every few months. The vehicle will suddenly go into limp mode while driving. This is dangerous as it rapidly decelerates in traffic!

The check engine light keeps coming on and it the codes keep saying it’s the throttle pedal position sensor A/B circuit

I would like to recall my 2016 Jeep Patriot because the crankshaft and camshaft sensor are failing to work properly and that increases the risk of crash. There were also problems with the steering column and the tires being off balance because after balancing was found to move without the steering wheel being turned. The recall is important because the vehicle is potential for crash . I only found these things out after driving and seller claimed everything was at top shape but bent the truth due to the small amount of miles put on the vehicle and the fact that I didn't crash the vehicle.

Like many other Jeep Patriot owners, I have experienced driving down the road when out of nowhere, the car dies! Mechanics keep telling people that either the camshaft position sensor or the crankshaft position sensor needs to be replaced...... It's a temporary fix. The code that comes up says that the sensor is intermittent. It's not the sensor that's the problem, it's the wiring connectors!!! Those two sensors are on the same harness. I've had all three sensors replaced. Right after, the car drives fine. Very soon after, the car stalls while driving. Back to square one. They need to recall the sensor wiring for these two sensors for ALL 2016 Jeep Patriots.

The emissions systems stated slippery when wet and the traction for the tires were loose. The tires were installed or balanced wrong causing the tires to slide. When braking the traction caused the car to be driven at low speed to avoid the problems with the steering wheel and the balance between it using the wrong amount of space to turn. It needed it large amount of space because the wheels weren’t aligned correctly. The speed was hesitant to accelerate and was showing signs of defects written in the manufacturers possibly as needed investigation to return it back safely.

The car's engine will shut off without notice. Sometimes it happens when the car is in park, but more problematically, it happens on the highway or at intersections (there is no discernible pattern to what triggers the failure) . Additionally, when the engine shuts off, the wheel and pedals stiffen up, making pulling into a breakdown lane difficult. This is an issue that has been resolved before by replacing the crankshaft sensor after identifying there was an issue with it via check engine light/code. (There have been previous recalls for the crankshaft sensor for these Jeep models.) However, after replacing the crankshaft sensor on two separate occasions, the issue is surfacing again. Dealers have no way of rectifying this very severe issue until there is a code that emerges, forcing myself to continue driving a vehicle that can shut off at any given moment until it happens frequently enough for the issue to either be replicated in their hands, or for a code/check engine light to emerge.

Jeep sucks so does dealership

Crankshaft position sensor. Engine stalled in traffic. Had to stop, place car in park, turn engine off and then back on. Independent mechanic has confirmed issue. Error code P0335. Vehicle has not been inspected by manufacture or others. Engine has stalled previously with NO WARNING SIGNS. Symptoms have been present since purchase.

Vehicle unable to reach speed above 30mph. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) symbol shows up in error on dashboard. Unable to accelerate beyond 30mph. Vehicle drives with unstable and jerky motions. Have had this issue before and dealership mechanic reset computer, downloaded a system update to solve issue. This occurred about 2019. Issue has represented itself.

While slowly accelerating from a stop, my 2016 Jeep Patriot engine stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. I lost power steering and & brakes and was luckily able to muscle the car over to the side of road out of traffic. I waited several minutes and restarted the engine which then operated normally afterward. This engine stalling has occurred repeatedly & more frequently (6+ times in last 10 days) while accelerating from a stop which is very dangerous in cross-traffiic intersections and on freeways. Additionally now, the engine rpm’s intermittently surge notably up and down +/- 2,000 rpm while driving with steady un-changing pressure on gas pedal. I have seen no engine failure indicators. I have had this vehicle serviced at two different independent repair shops that couldn’t re-create the problem & guessed it was the throttle body and then cleaned/serviced it. The problem persists more frequently, and is the exact problem listed in the S89 ChryslerJeep recall. My vin is not referenced in the recall notice-even though it is from the same Jeep manufacture period. This recall should definitely apply to my vehicle. I drive 40 freeway miles daily to work and am concerned for my safety and others. My vehicle is available for inspection if needed and I am bringing it tomorrow to a Jeep dealer in hopes of having it repaired under the recall. As the original new owner, I strongly feel that Chrysler Jeep needs to apply this recall to my vehicle and support their owner’s safety.

My car hesitates and will jolt when trying to accelerate as well as stall when I am driving 50+ mph sometimes and completely shut off causing me to have to put it in park, turn it off and turn it back on again while I am in the middle of driving which increases the risk of an accident and I feel extremely unsafe

Recently, when trying to start vehicle, all electrical power shut off, open the hood and tap the fuse box, all power comes back on, repeat multiple times until vehicle starts. When driving home down the interstate at night, all power cuts off, engine stops at 70 mph no brakes, no power steering, no brake lights, no headlights and no hazard lights, almost got ran over top of by a semi that couldnt see me stranded in the highway. Finally got it restarted after shaking and tapping fuse box, made it down the road further and all dash lights popped on, dinged and lost the speedometer for a few seconds. Had close encounters like this multiple times lately. Had the battery and alternator checked, all good. Dealership said its not under recall so i would have to pay out of pocket almost 1000 dollars to "fix" it but couldnt guarantee the new fuse box would fix the problem. I like the vehicle but I dont wanna die in it when a semi cant get out of the way when it dies next time.

The contact's son owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. Despite being able to restart the vehicle, the contact stated that the failure would return. Recently, the contact stated that after she experienced the failure and restarted the vehicle, the vehicle began to vibrate with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to several independent mechanics who were all unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The contact has had several repairs performed on the vehicle; however, each repair failed, and the failure persisted. The dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Mileage: 100,000

I am a service contract administrator. I recently received a claim where the contract holders vehicle would stall. The shop stated a recall had been performed by Auto Nation Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Littleton , CO. ( 7980 W Tufts Ave , Littleton , CO 80123 ) ( 303-578-6099 ) I called over , gave them the VIN , and asked for documentation on the repair. The shop said they would send it over. In the meantime I had the shop the vehicle was currently at send me pictures of the wiring. The repair was poorly done , and Auto Nation is refusing to rectify their poor workmanship. The service advisor in questions name is Scott. He would not return phone calls , and never sent over the requested documentation. My company will take care of the customers repairs. Attached are the pictures of the poor repair. My purpose here is to report poor workmanship , and let you know this dealership is not repairing vehicles to either manufacturer , or federal standards.

It acts like it’s going to stall. It bucks and sputter anytime I accelerate from a stopped position.

THE CRUISE CONTROL ACCELERATES AFTER BEING SET. INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS FILL WITH WATER WHEN IT RAINS. ENGINE SPUTTERS AS IF NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS. HEAD LIGHTS WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN BLINKERS OR WIPERS ARE TURNED ON, EVEN AFTER HAVING HAD NEW WIRING PUT IN, NEW LIGHTS, AND FUSES CHANGED. CAR DOES NOT SHIFT AS IT SHOULD, AND IS GETTING 160 MILES PER FULL TANK OF GAS.

I WAS DRIVING ON A 4-LANE HIGHWAY IN THE PASSING LANE. THESE INDICATOR WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON: ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, ENGINE, TRACTION CONTROL. THE CAR STARTED BUCKING AND SLOWED DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE INTO THE NON-PASSING LANE AND PULL INTO A STRIP MALL PARKING LOT. I SHUT THE CAR OFF. I LEFT IT OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE OFF EXCEPT FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF TWO MORE TIMES. THE SECOND TIME, TH ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. THE THIRD TIME, NO LIGHTS CAME ON. I DROVE THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP. ON THE WAY THERE, THE ENGINE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE CAR STARTED BUCKING. AFTER APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE, THE INDICATOR LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE CAR STOPPED BUCKING. I MADE IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEMS. AT THE REPAIR SHOP, THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS ON THE VEHICLE. THEY FOUND NO CURRENT CODES BUT FOUND OLD CODES RELATING TO THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. THEY STATED THAT WITHOUT A CURRENT CODE, THEY COULD NOT HELP ME AND ASKED ME TO PICK UP THE CAR. THEY SAID THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS, I SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD BE CAUSED BY A MULTITUDE OF ITEMS AND FINDING THE CAUSE WOULD BE A TRIAL AND ERROR PROJECT.

I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MANUFACTURER AS THE SYMPTOMS I'M EXPERIENCING ARE IDENTICAL TO THE ISSUES ADDRESSED IN TSB: NHTSA16V907000 FROM 2016/12/16 CRANKSHAFT SENSOR MAY FAIL CAUSING ENGINE STALL. APPARENTLY, MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE INITIAL RECALL, YET MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT IS DEMONSTRATING THE EXACT PROBLEMS CITED IN THE INITIAL RECALL. MY SYMPTOMS INCLUDE INTERMITTENT TRIGGERING OF THE VEHICLE TO ENTER LIMP MODE RESULTING IN LOSS OF ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND DRASTIC REDUCTION OF ENGINE OUTPUT POWER. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATES, SPORADICALLY. ENGINE IDLES ROUGHLY AND/OR AT LOW RPMS SPORADICALLY. CYCLING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON WILL SOMETIMES RESULT IN THE A RETURN TO NORMAL VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE RESURFACE THE NEXT DAY. THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND ITS WIRING HARNESS, THE INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, EXHAUST CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ITS WIRING HARNESS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND THROTTLE BODY SHOULD ALL BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE NECESSARY COMPUTER RESET/REPROGRAMMING SHOULD BE PERFORMED AS WELL.

THE UNSEALED MAIN RELAY BOX IS POSITIONED DIRECTLY BELOW THE LEAD-ACID BATTERY WHICH LEAKS DIRECTLY ONTO THE COVER, ENTERS THE RELAY BOX AND DESTROYS THE LEG AND WIRING CONNECTED TO THE AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN RELAY. THIS CAN OCCUR BOTH AS THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING OR CAUSE A NO-CRANK/NO-START SITUATION, IMMOBILIZING THE VEHICLE. IN OUR CASE, THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED WAS IN A PARKING LOT BUT THE ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE MYRIAD YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON THE ISSUE FOR MANY JEEP AND FCA VEHICLES. THIS IS ENOUGH OF A KNOWN ISSUE THAT FCA HAS NOT ADDRESSED FOR MANY YEARS NOW AND WE JUST PAID $460.00 FOR THE DEALER TO MOVE THE AFFECTED RELAY FROM THE BOX TO A LESS VULNERABLE LOCATION. IT OCCURRED A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE WIRING FAILED COMPLETELY, AND IN OUR CASE WAS IN A STATIONARY CONDITION EACH TIME FORTUNATELY.

WHEN I TURN ON CAR A RED LIGHTING LIGHT KEPT COMING UP ON DASHBOARD, BY MY GAS METER. ALSO, IT SEEMED LIKE MY CAR DIDN'T WANT TO SPEED OR IT WOULD AFTER AND GO LOW VELOCITY. WHEN THIS LIGHT TURNED ON. I LOOKED IT UP AND IT'S THE 'ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL' I SEEN A COUPLE OF VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE AND SAY IT MAY BE A RECALL FROM 2011-2017 JEEP PATRIOTS WANTED TO KNOW IF IT IS AND NEED TO FIX SOON BEFORE IT GETS WORSE. PLEASE. NO MONEY DUE TO COVID AND RECENTLY LOOKING FOR ANOTHER JOB. CAN'T AFFORD $1200

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AFTER EXITING THE INTERSTATE. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE CAR ACCELERATED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THE. THE WHEELS QUIT SPINNING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT LIT UP ON THE DASH. I WAS IN THE ROAD NEARLY BEING MISSED BY OTHER CARS AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET MY CAR OUT OF THE ROAD BY TURNING OF THE CAR AND CRANKING IT BACK TO MOVE A FEW FEET REPEATEDLY UNTIL I REACHED A SIDE ROAD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A HIGHLY RATED REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD AN ELECTRICAL PART INSIDE THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED, THIS WAS NOT DUE TO FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE, AND THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW WITHIN THE CVT TRANSMISSION.

IN JULY 2020, I WAS DRIVING, AND MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WENT TO JEEP, IN RENO, NV, WHICH DIAGNOSED IT AS A CAMSHAFT SENSOR ERROR; IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED BUT NOT CRITICAL. TECH RESET SENSOR, AND SAID IF IT COMES ON AGAIN, WE SHOULD SET A DATE FOR REPAIR. ON SEPT 3, 6:40PM, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, COMING OUT OF AN INTERCHANGE, MY CAR SHUT DOWN! EVERYTHING. LUCKILY, CLOSE ENOUGH, I COASTED OFF TO THE RIGHT AND TOOK THE FIRST EXIT, BRAKED HARD, AND CAME TO STOP. COULDN'T RESTART. ORDERED A TOW. TEN MIN LATER, TRIED AGAIN, THE CAR STARTED, AND DROVE IT 3 MILES HOME @ 25 MPH. HIT 30MPH, IT KINDA 'CHUNKED', AND I WENT BACK TO 24-25MPH. SEPT 4, I TOOK TO LITHIA JEEP, AGAIN. LEFT IT WITH THEM. THEY CALLED ME LATER, AND SAID IT WAS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL COST: $700. THEY KEPT IT OVER THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND, AND WILL FIX & RETURN, SEPT 8, 2020. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE; DISCOVERED A RECALL FOR JEEP PATRIOT'S MANUFACTURED MAY-JULY 2016. TODAY, SEPT 7, CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER RECALL DEPT, REGARDING THE S89 RECALL, LEARNED MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED JAN 15, 2016, AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL S89. MY VEHICLE, SAME MAKE/MODEL, WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AS IN THE RECALL. THE AGENT SAID I HAVE TO GET THE DEALER TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE IS THE SAME AS THE RECALL; THEN REQUEST A REVIEW BY THE JEEP DEALER'S REGIONAL SUPERVISOR, WHO, IF APPROVES, ALLOWS ME TO SUBMIT PAPERWORK, TO REQUEST CHRYSLER PAY ALL BILLS RELATED TO ISSUE, BACK TO THE JULY 2020 CAMSHAFT SENSOR ISSUE, UP TO AND INCLUDING THE REPAIR OF BOTH THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR, AND THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THIS SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF FOOTWORK FOR ME, LET ALONE ALL THE PAPERWORK TO SUBMIT FOR, HOPEFULLY, PAYMENT AFTER THE FACT, FOR WORK RELATED TO A RECALL. CAN YOU STEP IN AND HELP? CAN YOU ADD MORE VEHICLES MANUFACTURE DATES TO THE RECALL, TO INCLUDE MINE?

BOTH WHILE DRIVING, AND WHILE SITTING . VEHICLE EXPERIENCED MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DUE TO SLOW TIPM FAILURE. OVER THE COURSE OF SIX MONTHS. COUNTLESS HOURS AND LOTS OF MONEY ON DIAGNOSTICS. AND FIXING INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS FOR THE PROBLEMS THAT WERE HAPPENING. CAR WAS HESITATING, BUCKING, AND SPORADIC IDLE. ALSO RADIO AND BLUETOOTH CONNECTABILITY STARTED TO GLITCH. CERTAIN LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WERE HANDLED INDIVIDUALLY FOR THE COMPONENTS THAT NORMALLY MAKES THEM HAPPEN. ONLY TEMPORARILY FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE FINAL PROBLEM WAS THE COOLING FANS STAYING ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF. CHECKED ALL INVOLVED CIRCUITRY. EVERYTHING WAS FINE INCLUDING RELAYS. FINALLY SETTLED ON THE TIPM BEING BAD. JEEP THEN TRIED TO GOUGE ME ON THE PRICE. ULTIMATELY WANTING TO CHARGE ABOUT $1,600 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND FIX. INCLUDING $700 JUST FOR THE PART. I LOCATED A NEW OEM PARTS THROUGH A THIRD PARTY FOR $250. AND A SIMPLE PLUG-AND-PLAY INSTALL, CORRECTED ALL PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP THEN TRIED TO SAY THE PART NEEDED TO BE PROGRAMMED. SO THEY COULD CHARGE $200 FOR A SERVICE THAT IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. IF YOU GET THE RIGHT TIPM FOR THE EXACT MODEL AND OPTIONS. A SOFT RESET CAN BE DONE BY SIMPLY USING THE IGNITION KEY. IT IS VERY POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE BY CHRYSLER CORPORATION. AND THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MANY UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS.

CAR CUTS OFF (ENGINE STALL) AFTER STARTING & DRIVING! FIRST IT WAS HARD TO START, THEN IT WOULD CUT OFF AFTER STARTING OR PUTTING INTO DRIVE, FINALLY IT CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET (HAD TO BE TOWED)! THANK GOD, I WASN'T ON A MAIN HIGHWAY! BEFORE THE COMPLETE SHUT DOWN, AUTO ZONE RAN A CHECK ON MY VEHICLE FOR ME, SHOWING BATTERY & ALTERNATOR WERE FINE, BUT FOUND THAT THE SENSOR (CRANKSHAFT OR CAMSHAFT) WAS THE PROBLEM, WITH CAR CUTTING OFF! NHTSA SHOWS THIS TO BE A PROBLEM (VEHICLE STALLING,) WITH THE 2016 JEEP PATRIOT, BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED. I SPOKE WITH MY DEALER, THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT NOT ON MY VIN#, & THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FROM THEM, TO PROVE THAT IS WHAT WRONG (CAN ACCEPT INFORMATION FROM AUTO ZONE)! I AM UNABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE, BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP PATRIOT BY THE DEALER & NHTSA, WHY ISN'T MY VIN# NOT ON THE LIST??

2016 PATRIOT WITH,54,000 MILES. NO MAJOR ISSUES PRIOR. 2 WEEKS AGO HOWEVER, I WAS LEFT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP, ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI AND SIDE SWIPING A CONSTRUCTION SIGN TO AVOID BEING HIT. WHEN ACCELERATING THE ETC SYMBOL (LIGHTENING BOLT) WILL DISPLAY, TRACTION CONTROL ICON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL DISPLAY. THE JEEP COMPLETELY STOPS ACCELERATING (HIGHWAY SPEED TO 0 MPH WITHIN SECONDS=DEADLY), IT WILL SHAKE BEFORE JUST DYING. IF I'M LUCKY I'LL MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER (IF IT HAPPENS TO HAVE ONE). THROUGH GOOGLE RESEARCH, I CAME ACROSS A WAY TO DO A "RESET" (TURN CAR OFF, INSERT KEY AND TURN "ON", PRESS GAS PEDAL SLOWLY, RELEASE SLOWLY, TURN CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART THE ENGINE). DOING THIS TYPICALLY CLEARS THE ICONS AND I'M ABLE TO TRAVEL AGAIN. THIS INTERMITTENTLY HAPPENS, SO YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE POTENTIALLY ABOUT TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT FROM STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY. WHEN DRIVING ON CITY/TOWN ROADS, IT HAS NOT COMPLETED STOPPED AS STATED ABOVE, BUT WILL "JUMP" WHEN SWITCHING GEARS, THEN THROW THE ETC SYMBOL. IF I LET OFF THE GAS, THE ICON GOES AWAY AND CAR RUNS NORMAL. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC 1 DAY AGO AND WAS TOLD TO GET A NEW BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS CHANGED 1 DAY AGO AND THE ISSUE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES TODAY. THROUGH ONLINE SEARCHES IT APPEARS THIS IS A TERRIBLY COMMON ISSUE THAT JEEP HAS YET TO ADDRESS! SOMEONE IS GOING TO END UP LOSING THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO WAY OF KNOWING THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN OR ANY PREVENTATIVE MEASURES THAT A TYPICAL PERSON WOULD KNOW TO TAKE TO AVOID THIS DEADLY MALFUNCTION. AS EASY AS IT IS TO JUST TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC, THAT IS NOT FINANCIALLY POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE AND IN THIS SITUATION NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP AS IT IS RECURRING ISSUE AND IS DEADLY. NOTHING AS A VEHICLE OWNER WOULD AVOID THIS FROM OCCURRING.

WARNING LIGHT KEPT COMING ON FOR "LOW TIRE" WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE. HAD THIS CHECKED REPEATEDLY AT DEALER, THE LOW TIRE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF THEN COME ON AGAIN LATER. THE DAY AFTER TAKINGTHE PATRIOT IN FOR THE LOW "TIRE LIGHT" THE ESC/ABS LIGHTS ALSO STARTED COMING ON. I HAVE JUST OVER 50,000 MILES SO THE WARRANTY IS OVER. I WAS TOLD THAT IN ADDITION TO THE $115 FOR DOING A DIAGNOSTIC TO SEE WHY THE LIGHTS WERE ON IT WOULD BE $350 EXTRA PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. I WAS UNABLE TO PAY FOR THIS AT THIS TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY TO DRIVE IT BUT THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON UNTIL REPLACED. ONLINE I SEE THAT THERE ARE OVER 18 OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME REASON. THE SENSOR GOT SOME TYPE OF MOISTURE AND WAS SHORTING OUT. MINE CONTINUES TO BE ON FOR 30 MINUTES THEN GO OUT, OR NOT COME ON AT ALL, OR NOT ON THEN COMES ON. EITHER THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH CONNECTION OR THIS IS JUST A BAD PRODUCT. WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME SCENARIO - I AM AFRAID THAT THERE IS A WATER LEAK OR THE SENSOR DOES NOT HAVE PROTECTION FROM WATER. EITHER WAY, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A HAZARD TO ANYONE DRIVING A JEEP PATRIOT. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SMOKE, FIRES, ETC. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER AND CORRECTED FREE OF CHARGE. I LOVED MY PATRIOT UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THIS WEEKEND, WHICH IS WHY I TRIED TO HAVE THE LIGHTS/SENSORS CHECKED OUT MONDAY. I LEAVE TOMORROW AND HOPE AND PRAY I DO NOT HAVE A FIRE/ACCIDENT TO REPORT ON MONDAY. THIS IS A VALID SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. ONLINE OTHER REPORTS ALSO STATE THAT SOMETIMES YOU LOSE ACCELERATION AND STALL BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT.
