2016 Jeep Patriot Complaint Log

MY CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE STABILITY LIGHT GOES ON AND THE ENGINE DIES WHILE ON THE ROAD

HI, WATER STARTED LEAKING THROUGH MY INSIDE DOME LIGHT. IT HAPPENS AFTER IT RAINS.. I BROUGHT IT TO THE JEEP DEALER. THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. IT SEEMS TO BE EPIDEMIC. BELOW IS A LINK I FOUND: HTTP://WWW.JEEPPROBLEMS.COM/INTERIOR-WATER-LEAKS/ THANKS, WERNER

OVERTIME, THE JEEP HAS GOTTEN WORSE WHEN ACCELERATING. WHEN ACCELERATING, THE JEEP WILL KEEP JERKING LIKE IT'S SLIPPING GEARS. IT WILL OCCUR ACCELERATING ON A STREET OR WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.

THIS VEHICLE IS A LEMON IT ALMOST CAUSED A FATALITY IT BACKFIRED AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON IT'S BEEN PULLING AND OUT OF LINE SINCE DAY ONE BOUGHT NEW.....SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES AND NOW IN SHOP FOR ELECTRICAL SENSOR $1400

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FAILURE, CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION BANK 1, INVALID SKIM KEY, AND AN UNKNOWN CODE APPEARED FOR THE ABS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). MANAHAWKIN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 500 NEW JERSEY 72 WEST, MANAHAWKIN, NJ 08050) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AT 866-834-5922 AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

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??

MY VEHICLE HAD 39000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE STARTER WENT OUT. THE WARRANTY WENT OUT AT 36000. SO I TOOK IT INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND HAD IT REPAIRED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE PART.

TRAVELING 95 NORTH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON TRAVELING 73 MPH. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES THE ENGINE RACED AS IF I WERE TRYING TO INCREASE MY SPEED. THE VEHICLE SURPASSED 80 MPH. I HAD TO STOMP ON THE BREAK TO DISENGAGE THE CRUSE CONTROL.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO YARK AUTO GROUP (6019 CENTRAL AVE, TOLEDO, OH 43615, (419) 877-7712) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN HER DRIVEWAY AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE REAR ENDED A PARKED VEHICLE THAT WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AS OF YET. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

MY JEEP STALLS AND JUST CUT OFF. ONCE I WAS BACKING IN THE GARAGE AND IT JUST CUT OFF. ANOTHER TIME I J CAME OFF THE HIGHWAY SITTING AT A RED LIGHT GETTING READY TO TURN AND IT SHUT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP. IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE GOING UP HILLS, PICKING UP SPEEDS, RPMS WILL NOT SHIFT ACCURATELY. WE TOOK TO THE DEAL SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S A BAD TRANSMISSION ALL TOGETHER. *TR

WE HAVE A JEEP PATRIOT 2016 AND WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT FOR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH EFFECTS THE STARTER. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE JEEP STARTING AND TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT WAS UNDER RECALL. WE TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND THEY SCHEDULED IT TO BE FIXED. WE WERE THEN CALLED AND TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE MISSED THE RECALL DATE BY 2 MONTHS SO IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE RECALL AND IT WOULD COST TO HAVE THIS FIXED. IT IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED ON OTHER 2016 JEEPS AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. WE ARE NOW HAVING TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPAIR DONE WHEN VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE! THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED AND IT WOULD NOT START. WE ACTUALLY HAD IT HOOKED UP TO READ WHAT THE ISSUE WAS ALSO. IT IDENTIFIED AN ISSUE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THE SAME REPORTED RECALL ISSUE!

I WAS GOING UPHILL ON A RURAL ROAD WHEN MY CAR POWERED DOWN AND THE RPMS DROPPED DOWN TO 0. IT KICKED RIGHT BACK IN, IT HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME ON MY WAY HOME THROUGH THE CITY. WHEN I GOT INTO MY DRIVEWAY, BEFORE I COULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IT DROPPED RPMS AND POWERED DOWN. AFTER A HALF AN HOUR I WENT OUT TO HEAD TO A DR. APPT AND MY JEEP WOULDN'T START.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED ENGINE STALLEED TWICE ON 4/13/19 AND 4/29/19. *JB

230AM ON INTERSTATE 25, NO ROAD LIGHTING, NO TRAFFIC NEARBY. BY OURSELVES, FOUR OF US ON THE WAY TO THE AIRPORT. SET CRUISE CONTROL TO 75MPH. SECONDS LATER ALL LIGHTS INCLUDING DASHBOARD WENT OUT. IN TOTAL DARK NESS. GUESSED SIDE OF ROAD. MANAGED TO STOP CAR. TURNED OFF, BACK ON, ALL RESTORED. WE ACTUALLY GRAZED AN OVERPASS WHICH I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS. WE FOUR CAME NEAR DEATH.

ACCELERATION HAS BEEN STALLING A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. OIL CHANGE HAS BEEN UP TO DATE AS WELL AS THE DIAGNOSTICS BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE STILL HAVEN?T FOUND THE CAUSE. WE DIDN?T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT UNTIL A FRIEND OF OURS TRANSMISSION JUST SHUT DOWN ON HERS AND SHE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE STALLING COMES AND GOES BUT OFTEN STALLS WHEN ACCELERATING.

TAKATA RECALL THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON THE HIGHWAY IN MOTION LOSING THE POWER.

I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON A BUSY FREEWAY, WHEN MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN 40 MILES AND STALLED. APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR LATER, AAA ARRIVES INSPECT MY VEHICLE AND THERE'S NOTHING APPARENTLY WRONG. MY CAR DRIVES LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I WILL BE TAKING IT INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. THIS HAPPENED IN MENLO PARK, CA OFF THE WILLOW EXIT. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE, AND MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO A CENTER DIVIDER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT.

WITH IN THIS MONTH OF MARCH MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT HAVE AT LEAST 8-9 ENGINE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE MY FAMILY AND I ARE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, STREET AND 2-3 UNEXPECTEDLY AT A STOP SIGN. YOU HAVE A RECALL/ ENGINE STALLS (16V907000).I TAKEN MY CAR TO MY JEEP DEALER ON 3/9/2019 TO MY SERVICE ADVISOR(JAMES BEISIEGEL , DIRECT#-904-493-8979 AND WE SPOKEN TO A CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE:1-800-992-1997. THEY BOTH AGREE THAT MY JEEP FALL UNDER THE RECALL 16V907000 SYMPTOMS. BUT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T FALL UNDER RECALL PERIMETERS.MY JEEP FALL ONE MONTH OUT OF THE PERIMETER OF THE RECALL. CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE AND MY SERVICE ADVISOR WANTED ME TO CALL NHTSA TO SEE CAN YOU UMBRELLA MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT UNDER RECALL / ENGINE STALLS (16V907000). I FEEL UNSAFE WHEN I DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THE JEEP IN NOV. 2017, I ONLY HAVE THE FOR 16 MONTHS.. I HAVE TO TAKE A CHANCE EVERYDAY. WHEN MY FAMILY AND I GET INTO THE VEHICLE.

I COME DOWN A SMALL OVER PASS, AND ICE WASN'T VISIBLE/ WHEN I BRAKED MY LEFT TIRE DRIVER SIDE AT THE CURB

WHEN I PUT MY SEATBELT ON IT COMES UNDONE WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT SEEMS LIKE IT DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT DO THIS EVERYTIME. I HAVE TO PULL MY SEATBELT TO TEST AND MAKE SURE IT HAS LATCHED. IF I WAS EVER TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT, I WOULD BE WORRIED THAT IT WOULD NOT HOLD.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THIS OCCURED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD. RESTARTED AND AS DRIVING HOME, VEHICLE TRIES TO ACCELARATE ITSELF WHILE CAR IS IDLING. HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE, IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN OFF. TOOK IN FOR REPAIRS AND DEALER STATES THAT THROTTLE BODY IS BAD AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES. ADVISED THAT IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS VEHICLE CAN LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT SHUTS OFF. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND CAME BACK ON. DROVE 2 TIMES (ONE TIME ON A HIGHWAY, NEXT ON A COUNTRY ROAD) LESS THAN 20 MINUTES WHEN IT TURNS OFF. TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND THEY ARE REPLACING A THROTTLE BODY SENSOR THAT IS NOT WORKING AFTER 46,000 PLUS MILES.

A VERY STRONG EXHAUST SMELL LIKE GAS IN THE CAR FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.

MY VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT'S STALLING OR THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT WHEN I MAKE TURNS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE CRANKSHAFT, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE ABS AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED BY FLETCHER SUPERSTORE (3111 E 32ND ST, JOPLIN, MO 64804, (417) 553-7589). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,200. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *BF *JB

I HAVE A CODE P0335 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT . ON MY CAR AND IT WAS A RECALL ON IT , BUT MY CAR'S VIN SAYS IT'S NOT ! IT WON'T CRANK

WHEN INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS DELAYED DEPLOYMENT. THIS HAPPENED ON A DOWNTOWN STREET WITH SPEED OF 25 MPH. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION - SOMEONE FAILED TO YIELD RIGHT AWAY AND ACCIDENT COULDN'T BE AVOIDED.

THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS/ LAGS DURING ACCELERATION. MORE SPECIFICALLY DURING STOPS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IT WILL DO THE SAME IN AN UPWARDS OF 50 MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY SHUDDERING AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I AM UNSURE WHAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM, I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR BACK IN NOVEMBER 2018 WITH 42K MILES ON IT. I HAVEN'T EVEN PUT 10K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS ACTING STRANGELY. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THIS CAR IS THE ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL SENSOR KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING. IT KEEPS COMING LOOSE FROM THE SENSOR THAT CONNECTS TO THE TIRE AND UNFORTUNATELY MOST PEOPLE ARE TOLD THEIR ABS SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE. I THINK THE SHUDDER/LAG ISSUE SHOULD BE LISTED AS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AND A BROADER RANGE OF OTHER JEEPS BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE A STANDARD ISSUE WITH JEEP PATRIOTS 2016 MODELS.

11/27/18-BROKEN WIRE AT AT PCM / 05/16/19-HAD TO REPLACE FAULTY WIN MODULE /06/20/19-DEALER SUGGESTED REPLACE ENGINE HARNESS DUE TO CORROSION OPTED FOR REPAIR KIT .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GREENWOOD AUTO (659 S HIGH ST, CORTLAND, OH 44410, (330) 637-1055) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK SENSOR WIRING HARNESS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,280..*BF CONSUMER STATED ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE 1ST TIME CONSUMER WAS DRIVING 10MPH IN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE SHUTTING. CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES. ONE WEEK LATER, WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH CONSUMER PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR SLIGHTLY AND IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF.

BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 MY JEEP WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. MY SON WAS THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME ON HIS WAY TO PICK ME UP FROM WORK IN TIVERTON RHODE ISLAND. ACCORDING TO HIM, HE RECALLS EVERYTHING FINE AND THEN A MOMENT WHEREIN EVERYTHING WENT BLANK. UPON ARRIVAL THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED, I ASKED HIM WHAT HAPPENED, HE WAS IN A STATE OF CONFUSION. AT THAT POINT THE POLICE HAD CAUGHT UP, AND BEGAN THE INVESTIGATION, AND MY SON WENT TO THE HOSPITAL BY RESCUE. FAST FORWARD: WE ARE IN QUESTION TO THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THE VEHICLE VEERED INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BASED ON OUR INVESTIGATION AND RECALL OF THE INCIDENT A: THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND B: THE RIGHT WHEEL AND AXLE WAS COMPLETELY DISENGAGED ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD SUSTAINED A MAJORITY OF DAMAGES ON THE LEFT/DRIVER'S SIDE! THE LEFT/DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL AND AXLE WAS STILL COMPLETELY INTACT DESPITE SUSTAINING A VAST AMOUNT OF DAMAGES. *DT*JB

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A DEALER AND JUST THIS WEEK THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. IT HAS STALLED AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN MAJOR STREETS, INTERSTATES AND ROADS. I HAVE NO WARNING OF WHEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. IT'S ALMOST AS IF IT'S POWERING DOWN LIKE A COMPUTER, BUT WHILE I'M GOING IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH ON A BUSY STREET OR HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 5/7 DAYS THIS WEEK. THE MAJOR THING, MY CAR DIED WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT ON THE WAY HOME 10/27/18 AND I COULDN'T GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE CAR HAS CUT OFF BOTH WHILE I'M DRIVING AND WHEN I'M STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR INTERSECTION. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR A MONTH. *BF *JB *DT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' UPDATED 12/11/18*JB

WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD MY CAR STOPPED WITHOUT INDICATION, I PRESSED ON THE PEDAL BUT IT WOULDN'T GO. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT RIGHT AWAY AND IT CAME BACK ON. THE NEXT TIME IT WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, EVERYTHING ON THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE GAS PEDAL WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND IT JUST STOPPED. I TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. THE CAR MADE A LOUD STUTTERING NOISE LIKE IT WANTED TO START BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLICKERED OFF AND ON THE WHOLE TIME WHILE TRYING TO RESTART IT. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT BACK ON AFTER ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES OF TRYING TO RESTART IT. I FOUND A RECALL ON THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL BUT I CHECKED MY VIN AND IT SHOWS THAT THERE ISN'T A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN. THE RECALL WITH CHRYSLER IS S89.

DRIVER'S SIDE ACTIVE HEADREST SELF-DEPLOYED. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED OVER NIGHT IN GARAGE. PLASTIC RETAINER FRACTURED LEADING TO DEPLOYMENT.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY JEEP INSTANTLY TURNED OFF WITH NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG; NO INDICATION OF LIGHTS OR WARNING ISSUES PRESENTED JUST A LOSS OF COMPLETE POWER. BRAKES WERE HARD TO PUSH AND THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST AS WELL MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE THE CAR SLOWED DOWN FROM GOING 50 MPH. I WAS LUCKILY IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE WHEN IT HAPPENED MAKING IT EASIER TO PULL OFF TO SAFETY FOR MYSELF AND FOR EVERYONE ELSE BEHIND ME. ONCE STOPPED, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND ALL IT DID WAS MAKE A SPUTTERING LIKE NOISE, BUT NEVER TURNED ON. I WAITED 5 MINUTES AND TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND THE CAR TURNED ON THIS TIME, BUT ROUGHLY 30 SECONDS LATER IT JUST TURNED OFF AGAIN WITH NO WARNING. I FOUND A RECALL ON THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL, BUT WHEN ENTERING MY VIN IT SHOWS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR'S VIN. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE OPENED UP FOR OTHER VIN'S. THE RECALL WITH CHRYSLER IS S89. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!

ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 THE JEEP PATRIOT LISTED ABOVE STALLED WHILE DRIVING EAST ON I-70 WE WERE TOWED TO A MECHANIC IN GOODLAND, KANSAS. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE CAMSHAFT WAS BROKEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED FORWARD. IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM CRASHING, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ALLEN SAMUELS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (201 WEST LOOP 340, WACO, TEXAS 76712, (254) 848-6200), BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

CAR SHUTS OFF AND LOSES POWER AT VARIOUS SPEEDS 1-65 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN IT LOSES POWER THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND YOU BETTER PULL OVER FAST OR YOU WONT BE ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU CAN GET IT TO START BACK UP. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE TO START BACK UP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME FOR 5 MONTHS NOW'. I'VE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG... I NEVER GOT NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS AND THEY DIDNT EVEN INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP PATRIOT THE TWO TIMES I'VE HAD IT IN. I AM NOW HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WILL NOT DRIVE MORE THAN A FEW FEET WITH CONSTANT SHUT DOWN. IT IS DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, UP HILL, DOWN HILL, FLAT, ETC.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR RUNS ROUGH. I'VE SCANNED THE CAR AND NO CODES COME UP. I WAS DRIVING AND THE ETC LIGHT FLASHED AND IT FELT LIKE THE TIME WENT OUT. I WAS AFRAID THAT MY CAR WENT OUT OF TIME. WHILE DRIVING AND SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES SLIPS OUT OF GEAR PREMATURELY. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT WHEN ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENED.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SENSOR LIGHT AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE LOSES POWER, THE TRANSMISSION IS CHOPPY AND I CANT DRIVE FASTER THAN 20-30 MILES PER HOUR. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART, THE SENSOR LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT GOES OFF, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE CAR RUNS NORMAL. AFTER FIVE MINUTES, THE AFOREMENTIONED LIGHTS COME BACK ON AND THE ENGINE RETURNS TO ITS SUBNORMAL RUNNING CONDITIONS. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC EXPLANATION FOR THIS PROBLEM AND ACCORDING TO JEEP'S FORUMS, IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG ALL JEEP MODELS.

I PURCHASED A USED 2016 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE 11 MONTHS AGO IT ONLY HAD 32,000 WHEN I BOUGHT IT LESS THAN A MONTH LATER I STARTED HAVING WEIRD ISSUES WITH MY JEEP DYING WHILE DRIVING OR WIND SHIELD WIPERS COMING ON BY THEMSELVES AS WELL AS MY A/C GOING OFF AND ON AND MY HEAD LIGHTS FLICKERING OFF AND ON...TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS A FAULTY TIPM THEY REPLACED IT WITH "SUPPOSEDLY A NEW ONE" UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW LESS THAN 9 MONTHS LATER STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AGAIN!

THE GEAR SHIFT STAYS LOCKED IN PARK

1ST: ABS LIGHT AND ANTI SKID WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED 8/31/2018. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 20000 MILES. MY SISTER IN LAW OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT IN TEXAS AND IT HAS DEVELOPED THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. THE LIGHTS SOMETIMES GO OFF BUT KEEP COMING BACK ON. NOT SURE IF ABS IS FUNCTIONAL. 2ND: DEALER ADVISES THAT THE WHEEL MOUNTING BOLTS (5 EACH WHEEL) ARE DEFECTIVE AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SCHEDULED WARRANTY SERVICE WITH DEALER FOR LATE SEPT BUT THESE FAILURES SEEM ODD FOR SUCH A NEW CAR AND HAVE HAPPEN ON AT LEAST ONE OTHER 2016 MODEL IN TEXAS

VEHICLE STARTED SLIPPING IN GEAR. WITHIN DAY AND A HALF OF FIRST SIGNS OF GEAR NOT CATCHING, THE VEHICLE GRINDS DOWN THE CLUTCH AND NO LONGER WENT STATIONARY AND NO LONGER WOULD DRIVE. ONLY HAS 49000 MILES. DRIVEN THREE VEHICLES IN 20 YEARS WITH MA UAL TRANSMISSION AND NEVER HAD PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY WON'T HONOR AGREED TO TERMS OF EXTENDED WARRANTY SO CAN'T GET PICS
