2016 Jeep Patriot Complaint Log

It had a recall on it and I lost the card so I can get my car repaired due to the recall. My engine light is on. It has been on since 2018. I have noticed lately when I have the air conditioner running and when I have to stop or slow down as soon as I can take off my car is jumping all over the place and then it starts to act like it is going to cut off. This is very dangerous, especially when I am driving down the I-85. Please help me to get this recall done on my 2016 Jeep Patriot [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

On 9/22/21, out 2016 Jeep Patriot broke down on Interstate 495 in Massachusetts, during rush-hour. While driving the vehicle, the engine shut down at highway speed, forcing us off of the road. A RED indicator light on the dashboard identified the problem as a bad "Throttle Body". We had the car towed to the dealer where we bought the vehicle, and they confirmed that is was a bad Throttle Body. Repair cost was $841.00. There was a recall for this part, but the recall only covered vehicles built between May and July 2016. Having an indicator light on the dashboard for this single part...is very telling. It shows that Jeep has a lot of problems with this part. But since our vehicle was built prior to this small recall window, and has more miles on than the standard warranty would cover, Jeep will not reimburse us for the repair.

FAULTY CONTROL ARM/BALL JOINTS ( ALL IN ONE PART TOGETHER FOR BALL JOINT AND CONTROL ARM) first time I took it in was jan 2021 the two months later now this is the 3RD time now the car dealership is stating the faulty part ( control arm/ ball join) mechanic stated both times that that parts were faulty. Causing damage to tires that are not safe and I have to pay out of pocket for new tires when the parts are faulty which the parts were covered under my warranty but tire were not... so I believe since the parts that are faulty that caused damaged I should not be liable for buying the new tires did to faulty parts causing the damage.

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.

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.

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.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was unable to be restarted. The vehicle was towed back to the residence. The contact stated there was an unknown warning light illuminated. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V907000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the Vin was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.

A recall has been issued on 2016 Jeep Patriots that are VIN specific (recall S89). However even though our vehicle was included in the manufacturing dates portion of the recall, it was not included in the VIN specific portion. The vehicle is doing the exact things that are included in the recall - it constantly stalls while driving on the interstate or in town. Shutting down the engine totally and then making it where the power steering and brakes do not function and is an extreme dangerous situation for a female driver to try and control and restart the vehicle without getting in an accident. I feel that my vehicle should be included in this recall and that Jeep should repair my vehicle free of charge. I would hate for someone to get injured for not including this vehicle in a recall that is only VIN specific.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while inspecting the vehicle, the coolant level was low after recently filling the coolant reservoir. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic and was informed that the coolant was leaking, and the source of the leak was the radiator. The radiator and cap had been replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was returned to the mechanic however, the source of the leak could not be determined. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

I was driving when my car suddenly died. I was able to restart.i went to the dealer and it's pulling codes for the crankshaft Camshaft sensor or intermittent system. They are not able to check my vehicle for 5 days even though my car shutting off while driving is an emergency issue where I could be hit or I could cause a crash. This sensory and system is a documented issue on the 2016 patriot. My model does not fall in the dates of the recall but I think the recall needs to be expanded because Chrysler Jeep knows this is a problem and is not covering my vin. Again this is a safety concern for my life and they would not even work me in on an emergency basis and I am forced to continue on the road.

My jeep sputters like it's going to shut off. It does occasionally and I loose steering and speed control and The brakes dont work. Not sure if it's a fuel issue a transmission issue or what the deal is but it has done it forever. It jerks around like it is in the wrong gear and often is trying to operate in 6th gear when going 30 mph. It's not changing gears...it isn't accelerating correctly when pulling out in traffic. It is a disaster waiting to happen and has been. The local dealer just says wait for recall info. It's a jeep. It will be coming eventually....hello I drive my kids around daily

A recall has been issued on 2016 Jeep Patriots that are VIN specific (S89). However even though our vehicle was included in the manufacturing dates, it was not included on the recall. I had to pay out of pocket to replace the camshaft/crankshaft sensor. The vehicle was constantly stalling out on my daughter while driving the vehicle which shut off the power steering and brakes. This was a very dangerous situation and I paid to get it repaired. I think that the recall should include my vehicle and I should get reimbursed for my payment.

While driving down the highway the head rest deployed on the driver side. There was no rear ended accident or anything like a warning, it just went off. I’ve seen that this has happened to a lot of Jeep vehicles and this is extremely dangerous. Someone else was driving my car and hit them in the beck of the head very hard. Thankfully nothing serious came from this such as, us crashing since the highway we were driving on speed limit was 75mph. It’s not fixable at home and should be recalled ASAP as it’s extremely expensive to get this fixed as well as extremely dangerous to randomly go off while driving!!

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

THE CAR IS ENGAGING THE TRACTION CONTROL FOR NO REASON AT A SPEED OF 20 MPH ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN VEHICLE THE CAR IS APPLYING BREAKS NO SNOW NO RAIN ON A DRY ASPHALT ROAD

WHEN MY CAR FIRST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS IT SHUT OFF WHEN AT A DRIVE THROUGH. THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN OR STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH NO WARNING LIGHT JUST SHUT OFF. THEN IT BEGAN SHUTTING OFF JUST DURING NORMAL SHORT DRIVING. I WOULD BE GOING 40-60 ON THE FREEWAY AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK UP & MY CAR WOULD START SHUTTING OFF. I WAS STILL ABLE TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE, SAFELY MOVE MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER, PUT IT ON PARK, THEN RESTART IT, THEN PROCEEDED ON MY MISSION. THIS PAST WEEK IT STARTED DYING WHEN I WAS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC BUT THIS TIME ONLY THE TIRE YELLOW WARNING LIGHT CAME ON & THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP & I TRIED TO STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE JEEP CONTINUED TO ROLL UNTIL IT DECIDED TO STOP ON ITS OWN. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY WHILE THE JEEP WAS STILL MOVING. ONCE MY JEEP WAS SAFELY ON THE SHOULDER I PUT IT ON PARK THEN TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON & WOULD KEEP GOING LIKE NORMAL. ON MONDAY, APRIL 5, 2021, I WAS PARKED AT WORK & WHEN I TRIED TO LEAVE FOR HOME I TURNED MY JEEP ON AND IT STALLED IMMEDIATELY, SO I TURN THE IGNITION OFF & BACK ON BUT IT STARTED TO SHAKE AND VERY CHOPPY BUT IT NEVER ACTUALLY STARTED SO I HAD IT TOWED HOME BECAUSE I STRONGLY FELT MY PERSONAL "LIFE SAFETY" COMPROMISED AND FELT VERY INSECURE DRIVING IT ON THE FREEWAY. THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE LAST 1&1/2 YEARS.

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.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while entering a parking lot, the vehicle lost motive power, shuddered and jerked without warning. The vehicle was restarted however, the failure recurred several times. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the power train failed and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The contact took the vehicle back to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000. The VIN was not available.

ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING

THE JEEP PATRIOT 2016 LATITUDE 4WD HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES "JERKING" AND TODAY HAD A COUPLE MOMENTS WHERE ALL POWER AND STEERING WAS GONE AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULDN'T PICK THE CAR BACK UP TO SPEED. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 55MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND ALL POWER WENT OUT AND I LOST STEERING. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. PLEASE JEEP FOX THIS PROBLEM AND OWN UP TO THE MANUFACTURER DEFECT YOUR VEHICLE IS REPORTED OVER AND OVER TO HAVE!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND MY CAR JERKED THEN STALLED OUT. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. I HAD TO COAST ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND IT STOPPED ON THE FEEDER ROAD.

RANDOM DEPLOYMENT OF PASSENGER SEAT AVR. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND UNOCCUPIED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BANK 1 ISSUE

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while stationary at a traffic light attempting to make a left turn, while depressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact stated that she was unaware if there was a warning light illuminated. The contact stated she parked in the middle of the street before restarting the vehicle. While depressing the accelerator pedal, the RPM levels raised up however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated she was able to park on the side of the road and restart the vehicle. The contact stated she drove to her residence while experiencing the failure. The contact stated she continued to experience the failure and the throttle body warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the throttle body and wiring harness to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.

I WAS DRIVING NOT FAR FROM MY HOUSE DOING BETWEEN 20 AND 25 MPH. THE ROAD IS VERY WINDY AND BEING A SECONDARY ROAD THERE ARE NO GUARD RAILS. BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD ARE HEAVILY POPULATED WITH TREES. COMING UP TO ANOTHER CURVE IN THE ROAD I APPLIED MY BRAKES THE SLOW A LITTLE MORE TO TAKE THE CURVE, AS I STARTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL I REALIZED IT WOULD NOT TURN, IT WAS LOCKED IN PLACE.NOW I'M APPLYING MY BRAKES HARDER, FIGHTING TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND STOP, ALL TO NO AVAIL. I HIT A TREE BEFORE I COULD STEER MY JEEP. MY "PURCHASED NEW" 2016, IN VERY GOOD CONDITION IS NOW TOTALED, WINDOWS BLOWOUT, AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, AND THANK GOD I WALKED AWAY WITH THE HELP OF EMS, FIREFIGHTERS AND POLICE. I AM A SINGLE WORKING MOTHER, WHO COULD HAVE LOST HER LIFE. I KNOW THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VIN NUMBER BUT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINS ABOUT OTHER JEEPS, (MY YEAR AND OTHER YEARS) WITH THE STEERING LOCKING UP OR FREEZING. AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING THE POLICE REPORT WAS NOT READY. I WILL OBTAIN THAT REPORT. I ALSO THINK I SHOULD REQUEST THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAVE THE JEEP CHECKED OUT TO SEE IF THEY CAN TELL WHAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. IF THIS CAN BE DONE ALSO, I WILL OBTAIN THIS REPORT ALSO AND UPLOAD EVERYTHING WITH PICTURES OF MY TOTALED JEEP.THANKING YOU ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN SUPPLY.

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 VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. LOST STEERING CAPABILITIES AND HAD A HARD TIME PULLING OVER. HAD TO TURN KEY COMPLETELY OFF AND WAIT A COUPLE MINUTES AND IT TURNED BACK ON. I WAS ON A BUSY CITY STREET.

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.

WHILE DRIVING, RPMS WOULD DROP TO 0 AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER STEERING AND LIGHTS DIMMED BUT BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE WORKING FINE. ENGINE CODE HISTORY SHOWED AN ERROR FOR THE CRANKSHAFT IGNITION SENSOR AND THROTTLE BODY.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ONCE IN 2017. THEN IT WENT OFF AND CAME BACK ON 4 YEARS LATER. ON JANUARY 15, 2021 IT CAME ON ABOUT 20 TIMES. AND THEN ALL WEEKEND. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER IT WAS A SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IN THIS CASE THE PASSENGER SIDE DOESN'T HAVE A FULLY OPERATIONAL PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, AS SOMEONE COULD GET HURT OR POSSIBLY KILLED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON ALL ACCOUNTS ON CITY STREETS.

VEHICLE STALLED WITH NO WARNING SIGNS WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE, TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALER TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY SAY THE JEEP NEEDS A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. WILL NOT DRIVE AT ALL BUT HAS POWER. ONLY HAS 112,000. CODES: P0777 - PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID B - STUCK ON, P0741 - TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID - STUCK OFF, P0730 INCORRECT GREAT RATIO

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 contact owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, her son touched the headrest and it exploded without warning. There were no reported injuries. The check engine warning light illuminated after the failure. The contact called Mopar who stated the vehicle was covered, however, canceled the order. The contact called the local dealer where a headrest was ordered but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was unknown.

On 12/26/2020 I was driving down the interstate and my son lightly touched his headrest and it exploded open. I didn't realize at the time it was covered under the "x-86" extended warranty, and attempted in January 2021 to buy a replacement. Mopar canceled my order and told me to go through the dealership since it is a known issue. I did just that, and the order has been on hold since January or February of 2021. Chrysler customer service doesn't have a resolution for me, and won't talk to me anymore. Their department that specifically deals with this "x-86" issue won't even call or update my dealership Stew Hansen's, which is located at 12103 Hickman Rd, Urbandale, IA 50323. I am appalled and just want my headrest replacement. The parts manager found one in stock, but coincidentally it doesn't have the correct part number that Chrysler wants to honor to fix this for me. Chrysler is unwilling to make an exception for the part number and rectify this defective part. I want answers now. Please note that I have gotten married since this incident, and the dealership has my case filed under my maiden name [XXX], not [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

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.

GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER, THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT WILL FLASH. THEN WITHIN SECONDS THE LIGHT WILL CUT OFF THE CAR WILL GAIN POWER AND WILL ACCELERATE.

HELLO . MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN CAR ACCIDENT . SHE WAS IN HER 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHICH THE ACCIDENT WAS PRETTY BIG. WHICH CAUSED AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. AIRBAG FROM STEERING WHEEL DIDN'T DEPLOY PROPERLY AND ALSO THE AIRBAG FROM THE DASHBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIRBAGS RELEASED A LOT OF WHITE POWDER AND SMOKE WHICH MADE HER HAVE A HARD TIME BREATHING. SHE IS IN THE HOSPITAL NOW DUE TO THE LACK OF HELP FROM THE AIRBAG AND ALSO INHALING THE SUBSTANCE FROM THE AIRBAG

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT CAME ON DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN DUE TO LACK OF POWER. IT HAPPENED QUICKLY AND POSED A DANGER AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO GO FASTER THAN 20MPH AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 70 MILES HOME. THIS FAILURE HAS HAPPENED WITH ONLY 33K MILES. THIS SUDDEN AND EARLY FAILURE CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

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

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

VEHICLE IS STALLING WITHOUT WARNING AT LOW OR HIGH SPEEDS, WITH LOSS OF BRAKE ASSIST AND STEERING ASSIST. MULTIPLE VISITS TO DEALER HAVE NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM AS DEALER CLAIMS HE CAN NOT DUPLICATE. IN SEVERAL OF THE STALLING INCIDENTS, A CRITICALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITION WAS CREATED. STALL HAS OCCURRED BOTH IN STRAIGHT LINE TRAVEL AND IN TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS.

MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT CONNECTING GEARS WHEN IT GETS TOO HOT THIS HAPPENS WHEN I ACCELERATE AND IN BETWEEN GEARS OF FIRST AND SECOND SECOND AND THIRD AND THIRD AND FOURTH.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. WHEN I WENT TO ENTER THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED MY DRIVER SIDE HEAD HAD EXPLODED.

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. THE REPAIR IS ESTIMATED TO BE $5194.28. ESTIMATE IS ATTACHED.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED OR AT LOW SPEED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH CODE P0335.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HARRY BLACKWELL DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (1660 W BUSINESS U.S. 60, DEXTER, MO 63841) AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED AN UPDATE DUE TO THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER A RECALL AND THAT THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WAS NOT COVERED. ADDITIONALLY, THE REGULAR WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOZONE AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE AFFECTED THE FUEL MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000.

WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ABOUT 55 MILES AN HOUR, WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER. WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER, RESTART, AND CONTINUE TO MY LOCATION AFTER A FEW MINUTES. WHEN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE 2016 JEEP PATRIOT HAS A RECALL WITH THE 'CRANKSHAFT OR CAMSHAFT SENSOR MAY ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. IF THE ENGINE STALLS, THERE IS AN INCREASED THE RISK OF A CRASH.' NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 THE DATES FOR THAT RECALL ARE MAY 9, 2016, TO JULY 15, 2016. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION WAS MANUFACTURED IN 12/15, WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED. CALLED A LOCAL DEALER, BUT HAD NO FAITH THAT THE ISSUE WAS GOING TO BE EASILY DISCOVERABLE AND OR FIXED AFTER INFORMING THEM OF THE ISSUE. WENT TO ANOTHER COMPANY WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTICS SERVICE. IMMEDIATELY FINDING ISSUES WITH THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR & CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND BACK WITHIN TWO DAYS. BELIEVE THE CURRENT RECALL SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE MANUFACTURED DATE, BECAUSE IT HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUES.

WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE SEEMS TO SPUTTER, STALL, JERK, REV THE RPM AT RANDOM WHEN DRIVING. IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 OR IN A NEIGHBORHOOD GOING 25 WHILE DRIVING OR STARTING TO GO FROM A STOP. IT WILL JERK REALLY HARD LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT BUT NO LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH TO INDICATE SOMETHING IS WRONG AND I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES AND THEY TELL ME IT IS NORMAL, I'VE NEVER HAD ANY VEHICLE BEHAVE THIS WAY EXCEPT WHEN I WAS 15 LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THAT WASN'T THE FAULT OF THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO WILL WHILE IN PARK RANDOMLY REV THE RPMS WHEN NOTHING IS BEING USED IN THE VEHICLE, IF I THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND BACK TO PARK IT USUALLY SETTLES DOWN BUT NOT ALWAYS, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO SHUT IT OFF AND BACK ON. THE JERKING AND SPUTTERING WHILE DRIVING HAS GOTTEN A LOT WORSE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS IT WOULD RANDOMLY DO IT BUT IT HAPPENS MORE AND MORE NOW EVERY TIME I DRIVE AND I AM CONSCERNED THAT ONE DAY IT WILL STALL OUT AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I HAVE INQUIRED MANY TIMES ABOUT THIS TO NO AVAIL FROM 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS.
