2016 JEEP Patriot

Had an accident on the 20th of June total the car out the airbags failed to come on causing injuries

Around 3ish this morning, my husband and I, were awake by a loud boom sound. We notice a bright orange color coming through our window. And we recognize that my 2016 Jeep Patriot was on fire. If it was not, for my neighbor, it would have been worse. My neighbor had calmed the flames down. By time the Firefighters came the whole truck caught on fire. Once, the Firefighters put the fire out the motor was on the ground. I never had a issue with my truck or didn’t have any lights on the dashboard. The Firefighters said the fire was cause by electric wires.

Passenger AHR unexpectedly deployed, on it’s own, while vehicle was parked.

Jeep cranks but will not start. Replaced fuel pump in March, replaced tipm end of May. Back at the dealer today because it would not start.

Water leaking out of cabin lights
Navigation and screens blurry. Car is fogging as I drive because so filled with condensation. Water pooling in front and back seats. When lower windows, coming back wet.

According to dealership report: both sunroof drain tubes pinched and running uphill. Removed A and B piller trim, sun visor, and grab handles lower headliner. Remove both front sunroof drain tubes and replace. Re route both sunroof drain tubes.

Still consulting Jeep about replacing all the electrical, lights, doors, and touchscreen/navigation now damaged by the leak. Told by FCA that they are not responsible for the damage it caused just the defect itself.

Roof Leaking water through Dome-lights and raining on Radio. Jeep patriots apparently have had this defect since 2008. I just found out after car-wash today…The dealer offers to unclog drain lines (during routine oil changes) that they say are too small…No explanation for the possibilities of standing water and rust/rotting the electrical system or roof itself…Numerous complaints have been recorded since 2008…of course they don\'t tell you about that as it is an on-going poor design I guess with no equitable fix.

My 2008 Jeep Patriot has been in and out of the shop because when it rains. My Jeep drains through the dome light and side air bags in the front seat. This needs to be fix right. Or I should be compensated.

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.

Passenger headrest "deployed" due to the plastic housing for the pin broke.

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.

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

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!

Engine shut off while driving

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lagged and hesitated before accelerating. there was also rough idling while stopped at a stoplight with an abnormal grinding sound coming from the vehicle. the vehicle stalled intermittently on several occasions. the vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer but was not yet diagnosed. the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer four times prior for the failure and the catalytic converter was replaced as part of a recall, the coolant was flushed, and the engine was repaired however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the vin was not under recall. the contact was relating the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 16v907000 (engine and engine cooling). the failure mileage was 101,858.

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

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.

The airbag light came on about 35 times, and i went to the dealer, they told me to come back later because the light wasn't illuminated, then i was told a sensor was broken, and they couldn't fix it, so that meant i would have zero airbags that worked.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Vehicle driving on highway and shuts off with no prior warning. vehicle driving at normal city speeds of 40 to 45 mph and shuts off with no warning. the vehicle will shut off completely, engine stalls. still have electrical power. turn key off and wait 20 minutes, vehicle drives normal. stall is random and after a 20 minute key off engine off starts and drives fine. no mil or check engine light or active or stored dtc after stall lose all power brakes and steering during stall suspect crankshaft position sensor and both camshaft position sensor harness connectors

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

While turning a corner my car turned off. happened on several occasions. has happened on highway, in town and in parking lot. at low speeds and accelerating- car stalls & turns off. very dangerous

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated while driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the contact stated the failure was like nhtsa campaign number: 16v907000 (engine and engine cooling). the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

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.

I was hit on the front end of the car by another car going about 30 mph. it totaled the car but the airbags did not deploy.

Headrest on passenger side of car. we drove it and parked it in the garage. we got up the next morning and the headrest had deployed. nobody was in the vehicle. if someone had been in the passenger seat they would have been injured. we took it to a car repair site, when they looked at it they said they don't know how that could have happened as we were not in an accident. we sent an email to jeep and are waiting for a response. we had no warnings of anything being wrong and we have not any recall bulletins or service bulletins.

While driving the car, the motor just stops running unexpectedly, with no warning at all. while driving on the highway it stopped running and had to try to control the car without the power steering because the car had stopped and muscled the car as it coasted to the side of the road, while getting the car to the berm. a semi truck was behind us and came very close to hitting us. i had to put the car in park, turn the key to off position and then restart it to resume driving. this a road hazard and accident waiting to happen. this has happened about a dozen of times within the past month and seems to be doing it more often. also, when driving, with my foot on the gas pedal, it seems as if someone hits the brake for a second and jerks the car and resumes as if nothing has happened. after we got it the car start i called the dealership and told them what had happened, we took it in the same day, and picked it up the next day. we were told that they could not replicate what we had reported. they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle.

Yes i got a oil change now the warning light comes on change oil and i talk to others that drive a vehicle like mine and they have the same issue it’s time for a recalled on it before it caused more problems thanks

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacture was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 75,000. the vin was not available.

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.

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 driving my patriot, as i turned into the gas station the check engine light, traction control light and etc (red lightning bolt) all popped on at the same time. my vehicle instantly went into limp mode. when in park, stayed a consistent 1,500 rpm’s. all of this happened without warning as the car drove and ran like normal prior. thankfully i was only .5 miles from home and was able to get it home. code pulled: p2173 car has always been maintained on time since date of purchase.

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.

Jeep sucks so does dealership

Our 2016 jeep patriot is experiencing stalling in the motor when trying to accelerate at any speed. this happens frequently as well as our temp gauge running hot. we looked up recalls and seen this same issue, typed in our vin… recalls are for same year and make, but not ours. can we get this reported? or how do we go about seeing if ours will qualify for coverage since it’s the same thing happening in the recalls? we’ve had several close calls of being hit because our vehicle stalls.

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle was shaking. the contact stated that the check engine and electronic throttle warning light illuminated the instrument panel. the contact drove safely to a local mechanic who diagnosed the failure as an electronic throttle failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 64,495.

The contact’s daughter owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the rpm fell to zero and the vehicle hesitated and jerked while depressing the accelerator pedal. there was no warning light illuminated. the contact also stated that the vehicle would intermittently shut off while at a red light without warning. the vehicle would restart immediately after failure. the vehicle was taken to a dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was unknown.

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.

Suv intermittently stops with no warning which is unsafe. it’s been happening for a few weeks. i have been in traffic multiple times and the vehicle just stops with no warning and no engine light alert. i’ve almost been hit from behind since the vehicle loses all power and have to guide it to the side of the road or to the middle turn lane. i took the vehicle to ntb and the jeep gave a code for camshaft. i know there was a recall for this, but it seem that my jeep is not part of that recall. i’m not sure why because i’m having the same issue as the recall. recall s89.

I’ve had numerous problems with this car. i’ve already replaced cv axles and now the steering knuckle needs replaced! the car is shaking and knocking and is not safe to drive. it’s being replaced in a few days but is costing over $800 and this car has not been in an accident and is only 6 years old.

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).

Vehicle engine stopped. loss of steering. yes yes engine light was on, hesitation on acceleration. safety recall s89 has been done 5-3-2017 at 4,973 miles, and was told that there was a 2 year warranty on the repair?

I hear that a lot of 2016 this model the crankshaft sensor is bad. i would believe this should be a recall the dealership should pay for it

Vehicle will stall at any speed without warning when letting go of gas pedal. check engine light will come on once out of every 3-4 stalls with an engine code pointing to crankshaft position sensor. vin is not part of recall group however experiencing identical symptoms.

The front passenger ahr unexpectedly deployed while the vehicle was parked. the vehicle was not involved in an accident. this incident happened on or about 05/12/2022. the driver ahr has not deployed, however, i am very concerned that an unexpected deployment might occur any time in the near or distant future.

The drivers side active head restraint deployed on its own while sitting in my driveway , also it will not reset looks as if some of plastic parts have failed.

Driving on the highway all of a sudden, i start losing power, rpms go way up. it's happened many times in last month and its pretty scary on the highway.

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would jerk with unknown warning lights illuminated and the vehicle would stall. the contact stated he was able to coast to the side of the road. the contact stated that he turned the vehicle off and on when the failure first occurred however, on the second failure occurrence the vehicle failed to restart. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where the diagnosis was crankshaft position sensor failure. the crankshaft position sensor was replaced. the contact stated researched the failure online and found nhtsa campaign number: 16v907000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the vin was not included in the recall. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the approximate failure mileage was 41,580.

Rpm’s started jumping car wouldn’t accelerate cam shaft sensor code

This is the third time we have taken our vehicle to be serviced in 2022. the first time was january 2022, next june 2022, and the third a week later after the june 2022. the issue is that the throttle body sensor light comes on and the car starts to act up and has no power. the same issue has occurred all three times. the throttlebody has been replaced twice already and we are currently waiting to see if it will need to be replaced a third time. i believe this poses a safety or hazard risk as this happens when driving during high speeds on the freeway as well as on the streets and can cause a collision.

Engine stalls & loses momentum, stutters. crankshaft sensor.

It started acting up feb 1, 2020 not long after i bought it (nov 8 2019). it would work, then it wouldn't. it is a hazard to drive because it stalls out or chugs along at a snail's pace until you can pull off the road to shut it down and restart it hoping it accelerates. it is still an issue (aug 2022). i have not been able to drive it for 2 years even though i am still paying on it because it is just not safe for myself or others on the road. it is a hazard all the way around. i keep checking for recalls, but the sites say there are none. however, finally there may be a ray of hope in solving this awful mess. i just got an email last week from carcomplaints.com about this same issue. it listed the 2016 jeep patriot as having that issue and being recalled. the manufactured dates listed there are may 9, 2016 to july 15, 2016. my door sticker says build date 7-16 mdh 071000 486aa. how do i get this looked at and fixed under the recall? i have not driven it since august 26, 2020. it is now aug 7, 2022. i am still paying on this and can't drive it because it is unsafe to travel anywhere chugging along and being a hazard.

On 8/11/22 i was involved in a behicle accident where my air bag didn't deploy. due to this i had injuries

Within 1.5 years my car kept slowing down when driving out of no where. we almost crashed because the car literally won’t pick up speed or just jolts a few times then stops. we spent over $1000 to have it fixed with 3 different mechanics. they said it was the crankshaft i believe and catalytic converters. we just got the car brand new in 2016 so this has been frustrating because we get oil changes every 3 months and take great car of the car. we’ve had two get brakes don’t over and over and also when you turn the wheels it’s loud and sounds like the ending of a roller coaster when you here it turning. the rides are not smooth either you can see my hand shaking hard when driving even at slow speeds like 35 mph. jeep really sold us a lemon and we have been paying such a high car note on top fixing things each year. after so many complaints, they really should reimburse people who spend money fixing the same issue. a law suit may handle the issues as well but due diligence would be jeep seeing the issues and repairing the problem or refunding for the repairs. i’m hoping someone else will see my complaints and think twice before purchasing this vehicle

Right before arrive to home my wife an kids (2), the jeep patriot 2016 completely shutdown the engine when she slowed down in a gated community to pass a speed bump. the dash lights still on but the car didn't run. she had to maneuver to stop the car. then she backed the key and start the car and it turned on as usual. luckily was in the gated community and no traffic here but, i could not imagine what will happen if this engine suddenly shutting down in a highway. i could loose my entire family in a second.

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 stated that the abs and the check engine warning lights were illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed and the abs module was replaced. the contact stated while driving at 20 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle started shuddering, emitted abnormal sounds, and failed to respond. the contact released the accelerator pedal. the contact shifted to park(p) and turned off the vehicle. the contact then restarted the vehicle and continued driving; however, the failure reoccurred twice that same day. the contact stated that while driving at 45 mph, the vehicle stalled. the contact was able to restart the vehicle and pulled into a gas station, where there were abnormal sounds coming from the vehicle along with a burning odor. the contact turned off and restarted the vehicle and drove to her residence. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that she needed to pay for a diagnostic test and the repair. the dealer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 34,000.

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.

While on highway engine has completely stalled since may of 2022-september-2022

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 was driving to work and noticed that i wasn't getting any power when i accelerated from being stoped at a stop sign and when i got to another stop sign it felt like the brakes where still on for a few secs then the car stalled on ne. i crunk it up and drove about 3 more miles and the car started overheating so i pulled over and shut it off and waited for it to cool down. it hasn't been able to crank since i shut it off. i've checked my fluid and other minor trouble shooting. no luck.

This vehicle had an air bag indicator light come on. after taking it to the dealer for diagnosis. it has a restraint system control module that has quit responding and as a result has no restraints that are operable. the part has been on order for over a month and the latest update from chrysler says there is no eta available due to the global microchip shortage. i am driving the vehicle out of necessity, but consider it unsafe.

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

I purchased the vehicle 4 months ago, and this began at the end of september. engine stalls out when driving down the highway, check engine light and road hazard lights come on and car trying to accelerate itself at times and other times won’t go over 40 mph. if you let off the brake the car immediately launches forward. i have almost been hit as the car stalls out of no where. i can pull over and turn it off then back on and it will drive for a few miles then happen again. the car was hooked up to the code reader and it says throttle body injector p2173

While operating the vehicle up to 45 mph the engine will stall, but the car remains on. the wheel locks and pushing on the pedal does not work. i usually turn on my hazard lights on turn the car off and back on. by doing so, someone may not be paying attention and slam into the back of my vehicle and i have held up traffic because of this issue. after restarting the car drives and operates normally. i would also like to report shuddering, and jerking while driving at any speeds.

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that upon accelerating uphill, the rmps revved up but the vehicle failed to respond as needed. the coolant temperature warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the temperature sensor had failed and damaged the transmission. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the temperature sensor, head gasket, water pump, radiator, and unknown hoses and clamps were replaced. a transmission flush was performed, and the transmission was rebuilt. additionally, the contact stated that upon parking the vehicle after driving 45 mph, she noticed that the driver's seat headrest had partially been deployed independently. the contact pushed the headrest inside the seat; however, the headrest was completely deployed. there was no warning light illuminated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 155,000.

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 contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled without warning. after restarting the vehicle, the check engine warning light would remain illuminated. the contact stated that the failure had occurred on multiple occasions and on multiple occasions the vehicle was either towed or driven to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the crankcase sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. the crankcase sensor was replaced but the failure persisted. the local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failures, but no assistance was offered. the failure mileage was 53,790.

The clips that hold the active headrest together broke and the headrest sprung forward. it cannot be reset closed because of the broken pieces. this car has never been in an accident of any kind.

While sitting parked in a car port, the passenger seat headrest deployed, without the vehicle being bumped, jostled, shaken, or otherwise having any reason for the headrest to deploy.

When im driving it will either stall completely or feel like its loosing power and go limp. its very dangerous while on the highway because people dont expect that ill go from 65 down to 40mph. i have already taken it to a mechanic and didnt find anything wrong with it. the occasion where it completely stalled. i had to have it pushed off the road, car was still on just didnt have any kind of power, couldnt move my wheels. turned off the car waited a couple of minutes then was able to turn it back on and drive again. this has been going on for the last month

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.

Vehicle will intermittently stall and/or lose power while driving. this causes me to have to pull over while driving, wait several minutes, and then i can restart the vehicle and proceed with my way. overall acceleration is now sluggish in all conditions. the diagnostic code that is recurring indicates an intermittent speed sensor circuit a. i have taken this to my local jeep dealership, and they have replaced the camshaft, which failed to address the issue. they are still working on the issue as i file this complaint. i note that chrysler (fca us, llc) had a prior recall issued in 2017. the vin for my vehicle was not part of that recall, and i was not notified. i also note that nhtsa has opened a still current recall query with chrysler as of july 22, 2022, as the issue that was described in that recall is still an issue with other owners of the same model, and that their symptoms match what i am facing with my vehicle.

Car turned slowed down and almost turned off while i was driving with my toddler in the back seat potentially putting our lives in danger had it happened in the freeway. the abs light turned on but later in the day turned off and the engine light turned on as well but didn’t turn off until the next day. after a week it did the same thing again except the abs light didn’t turn on.

The car started shutting off while driving

The contact's fiancé owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the front passenger’s side head restraint deployed without impact. no warning lights were illuminated. the contact stated that while her fiancé was driving at an undisclosed speed, the failure reoccurred with the driver's side head restraint. the contact's fiancé did not sustain any injuries. the vehicle had not yet been taken to an independent mechanic or a local dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

After filling up vehicle (not overfilled) it stalls when i come to a stop or slow down for a turn. this just started today after filling up from the same fuel station i always use. the jeep restarts after a few seconds after turning it completely off.

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle decelerated and failed to accelerate over 30 mph. the contact stated that the vehicle hesitated while driving. the contact stated that the electronic throttle control warning light and the check engine warning light were illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic throttle control had failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

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.

I've had my car since january 2022. since last year, there's been a clicking noise once i begin driving & it'll click for awhile. for these past 3 months my check engine light has came on. the message from o'reilly's read "evaporative emissions system small leak detected." the 1st time i was told to get the emissions system cleaner. the light went off. second month, light came back on with the same message. this time i was told to buy a new gas cap. i did, light never went off. i bought the advance emissions cleaner & the light went off. this being month 3, light came on again june 2nd. again told to get gas cap, i did & light never went off. last week tuesday, getting on the freeway, i accelerated as i got over 5 lanes. when i got to lane 3, my car jerked & by the time i got to the 5th lane, my vehicle started decelerating, with my traction control light coming on. i pulled over, being on the left side of the freeway. turned my car off then restarted it and it wouldn't drive though my foot was on the gas pedal. turned off then back on after a bit and it started driving slow then stopped, turning it off. sat for a bit longer then started her again. drove on the shoulder to get a clearance to get to the other side, by the time i got to lane 3 the car started decelerating again & the traction light came back on. while trying to be safe, i managed to get over the last 2 lanes and had to stop now on the right shoulder of the freeway. turned it off. sat for awhile and started it back up so i can get to the next exit. i drove the shoulder & even at a slower speed the car shut off again. traction light came on each time it decelerate. sat again for another while. and this time when i turned it back on, it started shaking which i immediately turned it off! i had to get towed. i researched, there's a recall for the time frame my vehicle was manufactured, which was may 2016 for the crankshaft senor causing the engine to stall, which never got fixed on its carfax i have.

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.

The rpms in my jeep patriot will randomly drop to zero and the car does not accelerate when you press the gas pedal. after a period of time the rpms will jump back up and the car will start working properly again. the car never turns off and the engine is fully running. no warning lights or codes are activated when this happens. this has happened to me in the middle of traffic as well as on the open highway. the dealership is unable to diagnose the problem.

I had the catalyst converter recall fixed in 2020 and now i am having to fix/replace the converter they replaced with the recall not even 3 years later and have been told that it wouldn’t be associated with the recall or replaced under warranty with it even though the life span on a catalyst converter is usually around 10 years not just little over 2 years old i shouldn’t be having to get it replace and pay the costs of a more recently fixed recall

Crankshaft sensor failure. engine would sputter, meaning there was a "kick-back" feeling while driving at a constant speed and engine rpm. after every other sputter, engine would completely shutoff (meaning 0 rpm) and power steering would deactivate. this sudden loss of driving capability occurred on the highway. major safety concern. went to nearest maintenance shop, issue with crankshaft sensor. this is already being recalled on numerous 2016 jeep patriot models but not my vin number. jeep needs to extend their recall on this model.

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.

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.

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.

My 2016 jeep patriot 4x4 engine light is staying on. when i took it to a mechanic to have it read it stats faulty cramshaft and camshaft position sensors. my engine has stalled, loss of acceleration and power, shuddering, and jerking that is continuously happens. jeep manufactures said its not there problem. i need help with my vehicle, not just for my safety but for the safety of my kids. also the problem is only getting worse.

When you apply accelerator the car will not accelerate in a safe timely manner, it seems like the car is choking and will not pickup speed, sometimes will chug and the engine light comes, it also happens on local roads. it has been a continuous problem and a serious safety issue on the highway, when it happens you have to pull over turn engine off, restart and hope it has reset. the car has been brought back to the dealer numerous times they say they don’t know what the problem is.

On june 14th, i wrote a complaint of having issues of my car stopping on me on june 6. thinking it was the fuel system, since that was the message that o'reilly's gave me. i was out of commission till july 16th, when i got the fuel vapor leak detection pump & the canister purge valve replaced. that same day my car ran fine with 2 times within the travel back home, of my car having issues starting up again. i managed to make it to o'reilly's to see what the issue may have been now. i was told that again the message read evap leak & now a new warning of the crankshaft senor. i was able to still drive home and let the car rest. the next day, july 17th, i was on my way to work and a block before i was to get on the freeway, my car shut off on me again! i managed to get to the gas station. i was only 10 minutes from the house and it took 3 hours of stopping & going on a busy street and only getting so far back up the street, that i again had to be towed back to the house. where my car has remained parked since then. the warning lights are still the 'check engine" & now the "electric throttle control warning" two weekends ago, a family member helped jumpstart it, it was running fine until i took the cables off and my car turned off again. i just came on the site just to see if there may have been another recall for my car. and it turns out the very issue is the crankshaft senor that was recalled in 2017! i've only had this vehicle since january 2022, and between the 2 owners & dealerships before, this should of been fixed! my vehicle was made in may of 2016 which was apart of the recall group! and this issue is showing up literally 7 years later. i don't know what the next process is for how to get a recall fixed, especially since my car is not drivable! also, i don't know what else may go wrong after this second issue is to be corrected. i'm unsure if this vehicle has been fully inspected before selling it! i don't feel safe in driving in its uncertainty!

Vehicle suddenly stalls with no prior warning, both while driving and at rest. this cannot be duplicated and does not throw codes on the code scanner. occasionally it will "hiccup" and keep going instead of a complete stall. rpm drops to zero and will then jump back to their prior reading. the vehicle becomes impossible to control (stalled so no speed st all abd difficult to steer). mechanic cannot duplicate problem or find code on their reader. we have replaced the throttle body and one camshaft sensor but not the other, more difficult to reach sensor. there is a current recall for camshaft/crankshaft sensor that applies to some 2016 jeep patriots but ours falls outside of that manufacturing date range.

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.

Vehicles stalls during driving. fault code relates to crankshaft sensor. other vehicles from same year have been recalled but this vehicle was not included. vehicle has stalled at highway speed numerous times.

The passenger headrest deployed at sometime when i was not in the car. driver's headrest is fine/normal. can this be reset?

Abs and other lights flashed on the dashboard, the vehicle slowed as if the brakes were pressed. and then it happens several more times before getting home. i brought the vehicle and saw there was a failure of the left rear abs sensor. upon looking the sensor is just sitting loose and the clip is rusted out and the sensor has no slot to press into. upon research i see that this clip rusting out is a problem in these and it is very obviously a safety problem as for whatever reason the brakes engage when the sensor is faulty.

The passenger-side active headrest on my 2016 jeep patriot deployed randomly while i was driving. there was no warning prior to the incident. the plastic surrounding the pin broke away and caused the front cushion of the headrest to spring forward. if someone had been sitting in the passenger seat, they could have been struck in the back of the head, and if the driver's seat were to deploy in this manner, it could have caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. the headrest has not been inspected by a dealer or service center, but the cause is clearly visible. the problem occurred suddenly and without warning.

Yes components available for inspection/ yes sold by dealership with undisclosed problems/ yes problems confirmed by dealer/ no component inspected. 1st noticed foul smell upon starting vehicle/ failure to start/ chugging/ brakes noise/ smell inside cab. been verified noted vehicle was in flood??? all occurred beginning 2022. could not get the vehicle in till 03/23. all dealerships backed up wait out 8 weeks. i have had my vehicle to 3 different certified dealerships. i bought an extended warranty that no one will honor. bought a vehicle without the full disclosure[ reconditioning repair orders[

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact turned off the vehicle and heard an unusual clicking sound. the contact later discovered that the battery had been drained. the contact stated the failure recurred almost every two years. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed with a failed actuator. the contact was informed that the actuator needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and was advised the contact to report the failure to the nhtsa hotline. the failure mileage was approximately 83,000.

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.

The crankshaft or cam shaft sensor is malfunctioning and my engine stalls while i am driving. this has happened about 10 times now. i found a recall for this issue on 2016 jeep patriots, but my vin does not come up with any recalls. i believe this recall needs to be expanded.

I would like to know if the vehicle was in the flood of 2020 1st of all. i've had this vehicle in many times before i was told there was no maintenance work done prior to me buying it from a dealer. been addressing a bad odder upon starting the vehicle for over a year. the smell is in the cab also. now being told it could be the catalytic converter @ 51,000 miles on the vehicle. i've already spent over $1,300.00 to cover normal maintenance that was never done by the dealer i bought the vehicle from. my extended warranty ran out a month or so ago. this has put my life in danger being i'm breathing exhaust/ fumes. please advise & thank you

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.

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that after coming to a complete stop, the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was able to be restarted and returned to normal functionality. however, the failure became a regular failure. the check engine warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the cvt oil was low. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. the vehicle was taken back to an independent mechanic, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 80,000.

Since 2021 i have been complaining odd a smell (burning/ rotten) upon 1st starting up the vehicle. it was on the faint side when 1st discovered. taken into dealership i bought it from when 1 first noticed. dealership said no authorized jeep mechanics on site and recommended to take it to a authorized jeep dealer. taken to jeep dealership 2022 with same complaint. replaced inside air filters. no resolution/ taken to 3rd dealership 2023 late winter. it wasn't till )ct.2023 same dealership taken to in late winter found converter: exhaust and catl crack in maniverter. over $3,000 in repairs. who can help me this car there is something wrong with it because i ca still smell the smell after spending all this money

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated, and the temperature gauge indicated that the engine was hot. the vehicle was initially taken to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective catalytic converter. the vehicle was then taken to a dealer where the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the vin. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Cvt transmission failed at 79,000 miles. cost to replace is over $8,000 due to lack of replacement parts. known defective design that is no longer in production.

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.

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.

Several incidents when driving where the vehicle hesitates then the rpms drop to zero and the vehicle does not accelerate when gas pedal is pushed. vehicle does not die each time just does not react to gas pedal being applied and does not increase in speed. only dashboard light that comes on is the loss of traction. incident causes driver to have to pull off road, place vehicle in park, turn off and on. then can drive again.

I kept getting a check engine light on my dash even after taking it in for oil changes in the past year on and off and none of them caught what seemed to be the main issue. the check engine light would disappear once i got the oil change. i assumed everything was fine around april 2023, until december 2023 and apparently my check engine light turned back on. finally after going to at least 4 more different auto shops i took it by autozone to look at it again. autozone claimed my code meant that my catalytic converter needed to be looked at or replaced. now i never got a recall for it, but i did see that there has been several issues across the board about patriot owners needing theirs to be replaced. that’s costly and it should’ve been replaced free of charge. my vehicle has been in optimal before this and i do keep up proper maintenance on my vehicle.

The site says my vin number is not affected by the recall 16v907000, however, i believe it is. my car loses power while driving exactly as it is described for this recall and it is unsafe. i am scared. i have almost been in several accidents due to this with my 3 year old son in the car.

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.

From the day i purchased the vehicle on [xxx] of 2023. i immediately heard a rattling noise coming from the rear end of the vehicle. i also noticed that the transmission had been catching or slipping or missing whenever it transfers gears it is getting worse by the day i have taken it to the original dealership at mnf auto sales in albuquerque and i have also taken it to the larry miller jeep in albuquerque new mexico. they claim that the only thing wrong with the vehicle is the motor mounts after i left with my vehicle from being repaired, it continues to happen, and the transmission is getting worse day by day , i am afraid if i keep driving it much longer that it may cause an accident or damage the vehicle severely. i am trying to work with the dealership and they are telling me that multiple people have looked at it and that there’s nothing wrong with it however, that is false information , my vehicle has been in the service department for over 10 days at two different locations and basically the main dealership where i bought it from is telling me that they do not want to look at it and that it’s the type of transmission i have and there’s nothing wrong. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

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?!?!?!?! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

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.

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

Brought jepp patriot 2016 to a car shop in suisun city, ca and they did a thorough diagnostics of my patriot and couldn’t find out why my battery light was coming on. they checked the alternator and battery and they said they were fine. i was on a main street in suisun city and as i was turning to the left the car died on me and completely shut off. it was hard to turn wheels and hard to push the brakes and i had people push me out of the street into a sidewalk near a house. i then decided to try start it and it started and i was able to make it to my daughter’s house. my son-in-law and granddaughter used my car and hasn’t had the battery light come on yet but that has happened to me several times where it would come on and turn back off. there was only one incident where it died on me so far and i’m hoping it won’t do it again especially on a busier street. i can’t afford to bring it to dealership to see if they can find the reason why the battery lights comes off and on sporadically. i don’t know if any other jeeps are having this issue but am asked to report it in case it does to happen to someone else.

My 2016 jeep patriot was taken in for intermittent stalling and my engine was stalling. this happened a few times. my car rpm went from 3 to 0 and i could not accelerate. i had to put the car in park and turn the car off and start it back up. the first time my car would not start back up right away. luckily there was no one close enough behind me nor were i was going fast enough to be in an accident. i go it to a repair shop and was told my crankshaft and sensor would need to be replaced. my car is currently being serviced at gandrud chrysler dodge jeep ram in green bay, wisconsin. the phone number is (920) 468-1212. i previously looked up a recall for jeep patriots and there was a recall for crankshaft "recall # [xxx]. unfortunately my car was manufactured just after the date of [xxx] which is the cutoff of the recall. this recall is exactly what is currently being replaced on my car. i think this recall needs to be extended as this could have been a more serious accident and to help prevent more future accidents. my car should have been included in this recall. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

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.

Th crankshaft sensor failed multiple times. this happened 4 times within 2 days while i was merging onto the freeway, people behind me had to slam on their breaks or swerve to avoid hitting me. i took it to the shop and they identified it was the crankshaft sensor. they also explained that there is a recall in place for my year and model, but that my vin indicated that "my jeep was made 2 weeks prior to the recall window of dates."

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that on two occasions while driving at approximately 35 mph, the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was able to restart after an hour each time. the vehicle was taken to the residence. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the crankshaft sensor needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. on another occasion, the contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, she observed a winding noise emanating from the engine compartment. the contacts stated that the vehicle lost motive power and failed to accelerate as intended. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 41,000.

My jeep is stalling while i am driving, the only light on my dash is the tracting control light when this happens and it happens random mostly on the freeway which pose a risk of a getting into a accident. i replace the thottle body on it new spark plugs and wires and it keeps stalling

Last night was the 3rd time my family's safety was threatened by a malfunction in my 2016 jeep patriot (manual). when driving, the car started to stall out as if i'm changing gears badly, but wasn't doing so. next, it stalled completely without any dashlight notices. i was forced to pop it out of gear to give some control to the steering (something i learned after the 1st time it happened). then, i coasted to the side of the road while maneuvering moving traffic! the 1st 2 times this happened i was in local traffic and it almost caused an accident. last night, i was in the center of i95 with rushing traffic. terrifying! each time the car has had to be towed and the crankshaft sensor has been the culprit. it is in the shop today (june 1, 2024) and that's the problem again! the dealership says the recall on jeep patriot crankshaft is not for my vehicle. please help.

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated while driving 70 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. additionally, several unknown warning lights and the abs warning light was illuminated. the contact stated that the failure had occurred a year prior. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a front wheel bearing failure and the front wheel bearing was replaced. the failure reoccurred. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the contact was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. the failure mileage was approximately 76,140.

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.

Incident one: 2016 jeep patriot stalled at 45 miles per hour. dealership said crankshaft position sensor was defective and needed to be replaced for $550. they said there was a recall date 2016-12-15, recall no.16v907000 chrysler (fca us llc) is recalling certain model year 2016 dodge journey, jeep compass, and jeep patriot vehicles manufactured may 9, 2016, to july 15, 2016. the crankshaft or camshaft sensor may only work intermittently, causing the engine to stall, but that it didn't apply to my jeep's vin, even though same year, make and model and same issue. paid $550 to have repaired. incident two: 2015 jeep patriot stalled at 45 miles per hour on highway in rush hour traffic. red tps lightning bolt, yellow tcs warning, and red check engine lights came on as jeep stalled. dealership advised that throttle position sensor had failed, and as it is integrated with the throttle body assembly, that the entire throttle body assembly needed to be replaced for $800. dealership also advised that there was a recall for this issue for 2016 jeep patriots like mine, but that it didn't apply to my jeep's vin. almost crashed both times with passengers, none of whom were pleased. why don't these two recalls include my vehicle, when it is the same two issues recalled for other 2016 jeep patriots??

While parked the passenger side head rest opened up exposing the air bag ect stuff

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated while driving 25 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning light was illuminated. the contact was able to pull to the side of the road. the contact stated that the vehicle repeatedly stalled while driving. the contact pulled to the side of the road and turned the vehicle off. the contact restarted the vehicle after a few minutes and drove to the residence. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but no assistance was provided. the contact was informed that the repair was not covered under recall. the failure mileage was approximately 166,666.

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.

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.

Passenger side headrest deployed while parked and plastic pieces fell out.

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.

The contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled and jerked abnormally. there was no warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the catalytic convertor had failed and needed to be repaired. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. the failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

While driving my vehicle i was about to get on a highway ramp i’m am unsure of the speed but i was turning into the lane that gets you to the ramp well my car suddenly stalled and jerked very weirdly i came to a complete stop in the middle of the road while cars were coming. there were no warning signs nor anything that could’ve warned me. i had this happen to me twice. ithe second time i was driving at unknown speed about to get on the high way and my car suddenly stopped and i was almost rear ended. when i originally got the car it was turning on and off also. i feel very unsafe in this car i have spent so much money in repairs and i think this concern is bigger than just a repair. i have not been able to drive my car. i have codes on my car to reflect the issues i am experiencing with this vehicle.

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).

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!

There was safety recall -s89 on the 2016 jeep patriots - seems my vehicle was not affected however i have had to have it replaced 3 times - aug 2021, november 2022 and again november 2024. shouldn't this vehicle been part of the recall? if so, am i able to recoup any of the repair fees that i have paid?

When i purchased the vehicle i'm still making payments on it. i went to get my brakes done and rotors the mechanic noticed that there were no emergency brakes on the vehicle they were weld off and i called car lock they said i had to get that fixed it isn't under warranty. how you sell me a unsafe vehicle with no emergency brakes. i have only had this vehicle 3 months.

The contact owned a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled which caused another vehicle to crash into the front passenger side of the contact's vehicle. the failure occurred on several different occasions where the vehicle would stall. the check engine warning light was illuminated. the air bags were deployed. no injuries were sustained. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was totaled. the contact did research and was made aware of nhtsa campaign number: 16v907000 (engine and engine cooling) however, the vin was not included. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 7,400.

Six months after we purchased our 2016 jeep patriot sport 4w the check engine light illuminated on and off for a couple of weeks. after that time frame it became a permanent fixture. as well as unpredictable and frequent stalling while driving or stopping at red lights/deceleration of gas pedal of vehicle. the vehicle would not start again for hours...even days after these episodes making it difficult and unaffordable to operate safely. a diagnostic was performed when the vehicle decided to start days later and the crankshaft position sensor code was read by the trouble code. we then called a mobile mechanic who charged us $325 to replace the crankshaft position sensor/ relearn included to no avail. although did confirm the part would need to be replaced. the vehicle hasn't started since the replacement therefor a relearn could not be performed. researching the possible problems, i noticed many complaints on the same and similar models as well as a high rate of reoccurrence w the same parts (cam/crankshaft position sensor). we notified the dealership and they informed us it would be $199 to run a diagnostic if we could afford to have it towed to them... witch we could not. i have included the receipt from the mobile mechanic and it is in fact available for inspection upon request.

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)

My air bag light keeps blinking off and on and my hood keeps rattling from coming loose in the front. and just like everyone my transmission doesn't act right they should have done recalled this car it was totally not worth 25000 dollars

The headrest deployed over night while sitting in the garage. there is a plastic piece that keeps the headrest from deploying. that piece is under 75 pounds of pressure and will eventually break. i have read of several people that had the same thing happen to them. some deployed overnight while parked in their driveway or garage. i read where one person said his deployed while driving and hit him in the back of the head. he said he was lucky that he didn't hit anyone. the jeep corporation knows about this flaw but refuses to issue a recall.

Sitting at a red light with foot on brake and auto “jumped” happened quickly do not know if any warning lights were on. it seams to now be not not shifting property resulting in a lag in power

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.

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

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. the vehcile was taken to extreme dodge chrysler jeep ram (2300 seymour rd, jackson, mi 49201, (517) 783-6200) to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the air bag was disabled and that the passenger headrest air bag needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 58,000.

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.

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!

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

The engine light was on. when trying to drive the vehicle it would have a hard start and the vehicle would shake and loose power.

Takata recall. i was involved in a accident on march 14, 2016. i was stopped at a stop sign when a suv was making a right turn to the street i was stopped waiting to make my right turn. the gentleman was speeding and took a hard right, he lost control of his vehicle and hit me full impact on the driver side. the entire driver side had to be replaced. the airbags did not inflate, the airbag lights did not turn on. at the impact that i was hit they should have gone off and no one knows or could explain why they didn't deploy. when my vehicle was repaired and i went to pick up, then the airbag lights were on and had to be reset and the seatbelt was not properly working (that had to be replaced)

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that the tire pressure monitor warning indicator continued to illuminate. also, the horn became inoperable. the vehicle was taken to the dealer five times, but they were unable to diagnose the vehicle. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 13,600.

I was driving on a busy 5 lane main road through the center of town and depressed the clutch and brake preparing to stop at a red light. the clutch popped loose and was disabled. it no longer had any force against it but could be freely moved throughout its range of motion with no engagement or disengagement of the transmission which left the vehicle in gear as i was trying to stop. this caused the vehicle to stall and left it disabled in the center lane of a very busy 5 lane road approximately 40ft from a busy intersection. the failure was due to an improperly installed fitting in the wall forward of the driver pedals through which the clutch rod passes. this was a manufacturer installation as the car had 20 miles on it when purchased and the failure occurred at 150 miles. the fitting must be seated to allow the clutch rod to engage/disengage when the pedal is pressed. a misalignment of the hole in the wall and the clutch rod caused upward pressure on the fitting which was enough to hold it in place temporarily but eventually came loose. the proper installation of the fitting is to protrude fully through the wall and then be clocked 45deg so the tabs seat, keeping the fitting in place. a police officer was able to assist with the traffic obstacle while waiting for a tow truck and there were no injuries as a result. the loss of the clutch on a manual transmission vehicle at any given time can cause a serious safety issue. the inability to change gears or move to or from neutral can be a potentially very dangerous situation depending on the circumstances. this seems like a simple recall to inspect the installation for a likely limited lot of vehicles, however, the manufacturer, fia llc, disagreed.

When you drive with the steering wheel straight the jeep pulls to the right. so if you want to go straight you must turn the wheel to the left. was told all the patriots do this due to the transmission. if that's the case i would like this issue to be fixed cause i believe that's a scam making people believe it's a good vechile knowing there is a problem.

On 4/12/17 at approximately 5:30 pm i was driving my jeep of 11,000 miles on it. still a new car. it started running as if loosing power. i pulled off of highway to see what was happening. i pulled hood release it did not open. i looked under jeep to attempt to get hood open as an police officer pulled up beside car to see if i was ok. as he began to ask this and i turned to reply. car burst into flames. officer attempted to use fire extinguisher but it did not help and by the time fire department arrived it was a total loss. fire raged so hot it melted the front seat head rests and the entire front of jeep is gone. perhaps by pulling over is the only reason i am still alive. i have a lot of documents and pictures. in these documents i have word for word of chrysler jeep refusing to do an investigation on why this car burned..

Went through car wash, water came pouring in through dome light, raining on radio. took to the dealership who said the drain lines are too small and often need to be unclogged. they offer no explanation of the potential electrical hazard or the rotting effects of water left unseen in the roof linings. i googled the issue and found the history of this poor design goes back to 2008. the dealer told me they have not been recalled and can only unclog/blow out the drain tubes during my routine oil changes...this needs to be addressed as a potential electrical safety hazard. i am leasing the vehicle but may need to switch out. this is an acknowledged manufacturers defect that they are apparently ignoring to the consumers risk of electrical fire, and or rotting accessories causing potential severe devaluation in trade in / sale potential as well as actual cash value in insurance appraisals.

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.

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.

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

It started about two years ago while driving down the road it started jerking like it was between gears . took to dealership several times just to be told they couldn't find nothing. i told them something was wrong and its so bad when it happens vehicle stalls and almost dies. i have called jeep and they do nothing but blame it on a recall that has been done already. it has gotten so bad i bought my wife another vehicle and i'm driving it do to my safety concerns.

Vehicle stalls while driving at high speed or at low speed and check engine light comes on with code p0335.

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.

My vehicle was parked in front of my house. when i went to enter the vehicle, i noticed my driver side head had exploded.

When driving over 30-35 mph the vehical struggles to accelerate and down shifts itself to lower geers not allowing the vehicale to go. even pushing in the gas pedal doesn't work to bring the vehicale back up to speed. engine light is on 2 lightening strick lights appears tread light comes on code u1407(1/4) stored ac nor heater nurt

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 i'm driving and let off the gas to coast, go around curves, or uphill;, my jeep seems to cutout, skip, or putter as i accelerate again. it seems like it is going to die. i took it to the dealership and they told me nothing is wrong with it. it is only getting worse. and of course i was 3,000 miles over my warranty when it stated happening.

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?

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.

The vehicle stalled sitting still. when i cranked the jeep it would not turn over. as i turned the ignition key it just kept on cranking with out me holding the key.

While driving g engine stalls and can not accelerate, red light w light bolt flashes while car stalls, usually for 10 seconds, then recovers. it happens more and more often. happens on both freeway and street driving, 60mph and 35mph first time happened about three weeks ago

My vehicle is sputtering, and accelerating very uneven, stalling. it's doing everything the recall states but my vin says it's been repaired, but seems to be incorrect.

Same issue as recall s89/16v907000. stalls randomly and power not delivered to engine properly. major safety issue for our family.

Water in front dome light suddenly after several months. dripping down dashboard and cause electrical problems. stationary vehicle with no leaks in sunroof bought 01/2020. 08/2020 first occurrence, damage to lights on ac and heat controls. less than 2500 miles driven since bought at a dealership no disclosure at time of purchase.

Driving down the road my jeep will just stall and put me in a dangerous situation. no warnings with any dash lights.

When starting the vehicle there is a delay in starting then when while driving down the road the vehicle jerks or stalls like it is going to die. acceleration and deceleration do not seem to make it stop or fix the issue. occasionally when going up hill the vehicle will hit 4rpm like it is unable to shift and neither acceleration or deceleration fix the issue even after the vehicle is no longer climbing the hill. there are no check engine lights on and no codes to be read. i have tried gas treatment and taken it to the dealership and 2 mechanics and no one knows why it is doing it or how to stop it.

Same exact issue as safety recall s89 / nhtsa 16v-907 stallles arriving and won’t restart

My vehicle out of nowhere no lights or warnings came on it simply shut off no power couldn't even unlock my doors. was unable to start again. i jumped it and it started within 10seconds of driving it i thought it died again and realized was still running but it was like i was not pressing the gas rpms were up but no speed when i put in park vehicle motor seemed to be struggling and my check engine light came on. luckily all of this happened while on a small road . got it home spoke to mechanic he informed me of recall s89 and immediately said it was electrical or computer possibly i reached out to chrysler and they instructed me to take to dealership to submit my vin for recall i contacted dealership they essentially told me no we don't do that. this was out of nowhere with no warning i did try to start vehicle a few minutes later it started up.

While driving the engine stalls, essentially cutting my power steering and have little control over vehicle. happens on freeway and in city streets and stop lights

I was coming out of a stop getting ready to get into the turning lane for the interstate ramp and when i pressed the gas the car barely moved but the rpm shot up and was revving. came to a full stop and put car in park and it made a very loud noise. put back in drive and seemed to be normal.

When it is ready to shift between 2nd and 3rd gear with foot on pedal steady it will pause light will come on then when it gets caught up it will shot u forward.it does this most often when pulling on to highway vehicle only has 39683 on millage

Multiple warning lights indicate the vehicle routinely lost contact with anti-lock brake module, wheel distance, and speed while both stationary and in motion.

The car stalls while driving it down the road at more then 20mph and it’s very dangerous because it does it with no light or any indication that something is wrong. i believe it’s completely electrical but i’m taking it in to the mechanics tomorrow. i was driving down a highway when it stalled on me thankfully i was on the slow lane and was able to pull to the side but not before someone almost rear ending me.

Replaced the throttle body as vehicle lost power. mechanic said he has replaced over 10-12 of them recently and there will probably a recall. part and labor was $500. my granddaughter is in college and we purchased vehicle as it was supposedly dependable transportation. she was able to pull into a parking lot before the vehicle lost power. *tr

Check engine light staying on "gas cap notification" new aftermarket gas cap still same notification...driving at 55mph or just idling vehicle just shuts off ?sometimes it will restart while driving but will die again...have to try to pull off road to avoid traffic when possible...have to put in park & wait for all chimes to ring then try starting again...very scary when you can't leave from a stop sign or come to no power situation on a busy highway...don't get on interstate since this started!! *tr

At the first instance of the engine stalling, the vehicle was in motion, but slowing to stop at a red light. the next instance of the vehicle stalling, it was stopped. the engine shut down, but tried to restart on its own. after resetting the ignition key, and waiting about 3 minutes, the vehicle started...and remained in a running state until we arrived at home. the next time the vehicle was used, it was started via the key fob. it started, and within 15 seconds, the car shut down. later that day, we took it to a valvoline oil change facility, where they checked for engine codes via the obd port. and error of "crankshaft position sensor" was noted. later that day, while pulling in to a parking lot, the vehicle stalled and attempted a restart on its own. after several minutes, the vehicle was restarted. while driving on the highway (at around 60 mph), the engine stalled and attempted a restart 4 times (on its own). it restarted, and stayed that way for the remainder of the trip home. in researching this problem, there is a recall (s89) on this type of vehicle, but the date of manufacture is out of range with our vehicle, or does not apply to the all wheel drive version (which we have).

The car slows down and looses power while driving. it also shuts it self off ever since i bought this jeep.

2016 jeep patriot with 38k miles will randomly quit accelerating which causes loss of power, steering control, etc. the red lightning bolt (electronic throttle control) will intermittently come on and flash. diagnosed at local jeep dealership who said the throttle body needs replacing at a cost of $1000 and is not covered under any jeep warranty - whether the basic or the extended that covers emission systems. *tr

As i am driving, when i slow down or sit in traffic my car randomly shuts off without any indication that anything is wrong on the dashboard. i can’t brake nor accelerate when this happens. mechanic doesn’t see anything wrong but it happens atleast 3 times a month. this usually happens when on a highway or very busy boulevard. i’ve almost crashed every time this happens while my daughter is in the vehicle. *tr

When accelerating my engine seems to bog down and stall very frequently. this had almost caused what could of been a serious accident. once i was turning in a 4 way intersection and it stalled when car yielding to me was approaching me in intersection almost causing a t bone type crash and the other times was on the highway while accelerating the engine stalled each time causing what could of potentially been a life threatening accident. i was extremely close to being hit by a semi once, a truck pulling a trailer once and multiple cars on different occasions. *tr

Vehicle loses power and/or stalls while driving, even at high speeds. vehicle stalled several times when stopped. i had to let car sit for a few minutes before it would restart. lost acceleration at low speeds, especially after turning a corner and beginning to accelerate. you press on the gas and nothing happens. this also happened several times on the highway going 60mph. luckily it kicked back in. there is a recall on the same year patriot s89 for the crankshaft sensor, which was the exact problem on my patriot. i informed the dealer of this recall when i took the car in for service. he said it wasn't applicable to my vehicle and wouldn't keep the paperwork i gave him for the recall. the dealer, however, told me it was the abs system and charged me to replace it and then ended up replacing the crankshaft sensor after the problem still happened on the test drive after replacing abs. the patriot stalled on the highway. if the dealer would have listened to me and done the test drive first, they would have discovered the issue right away. this is a huge safety issue. luckily i didn't get hit on the highway. *tr

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

Driving on the interstate at 75mph when my wife had a red lighting bolt appear on the dash board, at which time the power dropped off. she had to move across two lanes of traffic with no power. once it was on the shoulder, she called me in a panic. i went on the internet and found out how to reset the throttle body assembly. the vehicle started back up and was able to drive it home. it was a very dangerous and scary experience. i called jeep dealership and to my surprise they was no recall for this issue. the internet was full of people who had this very issue. i call their corporate service line and they confirmed no safety recall exists. they told me they could not confirm whether they would or would not self report this issue. *tr

My 2016 jeep patriot hesitates and jerks when i step on the gas pedal. sometimes it will not go over 40 mph. when i stop then let off the brake the vehicle jumps forward without stepping on the gas pedal. it runs sluggish. there are three lights on the dashboard lite up. the engine light, the lightning bolt and the traction light. *tr

I have been having an issue with what feels like my engine is stalling and about to seize and my temperature gauge rises. there appears to be no issues with any hoses, radiator or coolants as i've recently had an oil change. despite when ever i travel on the highway this issue occurs. i travel the nj parkway 5 days a week for work and i fear that the car will shutdown and cause a serious accident. please advise. *tr

I was driving on a road into work at no more than 40/45 mph. my car was at a slight incline when the electronic throttle control light and electronic stability control light came on, and my car powered down to a low level and wouldn’t increase its speed. i pulled over to the side of the road, put the car in park and shut it off. i was able to start the car and drive the rest of the way, and the light didn’t come back on again. *tr

There is a leak somewhere that floods water through the map lights in the roof every time it rains. it has shorted out the entire radio screen where it no longer functions. took into a dealership to take a look and they said it was fixed 2 times and still continued to leak. i have forums online that hundreds of people have the same exact issue! i will proceed with filing lemon law if this does not get addressed. *tr

Driving on the interstate at highway speed the red lightning bolt warning light came on, as did the check engine and traction control lights and the accelerator cut out. i was able to coast across 3 lanes to the side of the road, but this has happened three times and apparently my 2016 patriot wasn't included in the recall that addressed this issue.

My vehicle stalls when you push the gas pedal,you have to turn the vehicle off and restart it ,it will also completely stall going down the road going anywhere between 20 to 45 miles per hour

My daughter has a 2016 jeep patriot is just stalling out exactly the way the recall states except because hers was built in november they are saying its not on the recall...she will be driving and it just stalls and has happened over and over

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.

As i was driving at about 45 miles per hour, on a two lane road, my vehicle lost all power. it wouldn't hardly pull itself. it almost stalled out completely. i had to shut it off and it reset for a short time. fortunately i had a place to pull out of the way. i'm having trouble giving my vehicle throttle now. i believe the throttle body is the part that is the issue. i've read that is a problem with other jeep patriots.

Airbag light stays on all the time whether running or stationary, the problem started after battery change at dealership. dealer says that it needs new ipm integrated power module $918 + tax??

My car doesn’t accelerate like it should and getting on the highway or trying to speed up on highway, the car stalls and doesn’t want to go. the rpm doesn’t go anywhere and the car jerks a lot. it happening more everyday than before when it would only happen ever so often.

Vehicle constantly stalls while driving. even happens when i'm driving on interste and speeds of 70 mph. vehicle eventually starts back up but this is a huge safety issue. had the codes ran and came back with an issue with the crankshaft positioning sensor.

Code p0777 pressure control solenoid b stuck on car is not going into gears now. first, it would only go into reverse. but, nothing now.

Automatic jeep, has difficulty shifting between gears when accelerating. this is especially noticeable when going a slower speed (i.e. turning a corner, in rush hour traffic with stop-and-go speeds), but does do it at higher speeds (ex. 60 mph to 70 mph). it does not seem to have issues when down shifting. the vehicle has a very noticeable lurch/shutter when it is attempting to shift to a higher gear and will do it repeatedly in a short period of time. the vehicle needs to be driven a while before it will occur, i drive it about 20 miles before it starts exhibiting the issue. the issue is most frightening in city/rush hour traffic because it seems like the vehicle might stop running all together. the vehicle also seems to struggle to make it up hills, as if it does not have enough power to make the climb of even a small hill. the rpm gauge really jumps up high to about 5-6 when climbing a small hill or accelerating 5-10 mph to pass someone on the highway. the issue started before the vehicle had reached 60,000 miles. filters and oil have been changed several times and fuel injector cleaner has been added to the gas several times, none of these measures have changed the performance issue of the vehicle.

Bought jeep in 2018 since then it has had intermittent cruise control problems. sometimes it works sometimes it dont. sometimes it works then quits working. drivers seat belt will be buckled and come unbuckled have to rebuckle intermittently. burning smell intermittently dont know if its oil, coolant or what was supposed to be fixed by jeep who said it was leaky coolant still occurs. all of this has occurred while on the road.

Transmission is winding and juddering.

My car just stopped working in the middle of the highway while driving 55 mph!!. it just died. luckily 3 strangers pushed me to safety. it started working soon afterward only to get stuck in the middle of the road again. it was towed to my mechanic and diagnosed that the crankpostition sensor is bad. it is recalled on other 2016 jeep patriots but not covered on this one. it was manufactured before the recall. i hope you will consider including this car under the recall. my daughter was driving the car and she could have been seriously injured. the abrupt stopping of this vehicle on a highway is a serious safety hazard. i am so thankful that she was not injured but it could have been so much worse. we had no idea what was wrong with the car and am upset to know that this faulty sensor caused this to happen. it should be recalled to prevent possible injury to others.

Tried taking my siblings to school and out of no where it wouldn’t start i’ve had no problems since i’ve had the vehicle and i took it to several places and they couldn’t figure out the problem then finally someone figured it out saying it’s the computer module

I have a recall on my vehicle. i keep getting notices via email and regular mail that i need to schedule an appointment to get this recall fixed. every time i call the dealer to get it fixed, i’m told that they don’t have parts and don’t know when they’ll be in. they say they will give me a call when the parts come in, then i never hear back from them.

Active headrest was deployed/activated while idle at a red light, the headrest hit the back of my head and made me release the brake while stopped at a red light, there was also a very loud noise (kind of like a gun shot noise). this was very scary as i had no idea what had happened or what had hit my head, i had to pull to the side of the road and examine my car to make sure it was safe to drive it. all this while i was in pain resulting from the headrest hitting the back of my head.

My daughter was driving the truck when she started to hear noise coming from my truck so she pulled over, call me and then i came up to see what was wrong with the truck no check engine light was on or no over heating and only thing was loud noise so i decided to try to drive the truck home , then on the way driving in ten mile road in warren the truck was getting louder so then i drove it to my daughter father house that was near by . when i turn down ryan road the truck stulled out during the making of the turn but i was able to pull into the tim horton, try to restart my truck to make it to her father house the next day i had tow truck tow my truck to louis auto repair shop but they didn’t able to look at my truck until monday and they call me to let me know i need new engine. i didn’t understand why i need new engine when my light never came on and my truck is only three years old.

Vehicle throttle control lights comes on when car is in motion which will then slow down the vehicle which can cause an accident that you can no longer control the steering wheel. when that light comes one the engine light and traction control lights come on as well. when on the highway car will lose acceleration which again you can't pull over it will just stop. this is very dangerous and can cause death. i have read so many more of the same complaints something needs to be done about this.

They randomly unbuckle! you think you're buckled and you move or adjust while driving then then bam unbuckled. you're going to die in a head on collision.*dt *dt consumer stated defective seatbelt was replaced. while driving and sitting vehicle experience many electrical problems due to slow tipm failure, engine stalls etc.*jb

Front seatbelts will just unbuckle after you've buckled. the jeep wont accelerate, it wont shift until 3 1/2 grand, between 0-40 mph it chugs & almost dies, once above 40 its usually fine. the dealer says things are fine. what is wrong and why wont these issues come up on diagnostics? the tire low sensor is always on - even after new tires & they reset it. no wonder the warranty length was lowered. brakes became sqeaky around 6 months. one owner - me unfortunately.

The car would hesitate when accelerating and slow down to a very low speed before bucking and thrusting until the speed would increase. the slowness was slow enough on a highway to almost cause an accident.

My 2016 jeep patriot was purchased on january 29, 2016. this vehicle has been nothing more then a death trap for me and a cash cow for the dealership. i have had major life or death problems almost with this vehicle. this vehicle began stalling out and shutting off while driving down busy interstate or other roadways in 2017. my vehicle is currently at the dealership due to stalling out and shutting off in the middle of a busy highway on june 29, 2019 after i left my job. i have filed a complaint with the consumer protection division and i expressed the dangers and the government hasn't stopped in to intervene as of today. i notified chrysler manufacturer of the problem in 2017, when my vehicle only had 50,000 miles. once again there wasn't anything done concerning this situation. i notified the nhtsa and this organization hasn't done anything but post my complaint online. this is my second complaint with nhtsa. there has been several recalls on this matter but chrysler claimed that my vintage number wasn't part of the recall. although my 2016 jeep patriot was doing the exact same thing as the other 2016 jeep patriot, that was stalling out and shutting off in the middle of the highway. this death trap of a vehicle should have been recalled when i first initially filed this complaint. well i guess i'll just watch and see how many people have to lose their lives behind these garbage jeep patriots before they recall these death traps. i will definitely look into filing a lawsuit against chrysler and name all of the agencies that was made aware of this deadly problem. and they done absolutely nothing concerning this matter. i contacted the manufacturer once again this morning. and i have been assigned another case manager and so i'll wait on this phone call after 8:00a.m. today. i can provide all documentations of the complaints filed.

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.

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

This is an ongoing problem. the engine stalls randomly while driving. it is very unsafe. we have taken it to the dealer several times and they said they were unable to duplicate the problem.the first time we took it to the dealer. they said they couldn't find the problem because there weren't any computer codes. we took the car back home and the problem still occurred. we brought it back to the dealer and paid for them to do the work for the s89 recall even though our vin isn't covered. i don't know why the recall just covers the wire harness and not the crankshaft sensor itself. we got the jeep back. the problem still occurred. i took it back to the dealer and the third time they replaced the fuel pump and the throttle body assembly. we had to pay for the repairs because at approx.42,000 miles it was out of warranty which is only 36,000 miles. we got the jeep back. not fixed. the jeep has stalled at traffic lights and stop signs and also upon turning. we have also stalled going 60 mph on the highway and barely had time to pull off the road. most of the time, the engine will restart right away, but sometimes you have to wait several minutes. the jeep is back at the dealer. we had called chrysler and gotten a case manager. we got a call from him yesterday that the dealer service dept. still had not found the problem. he was going to check with them again tomorrow. it is unsafe to drive in this condition and we don't know why the problem isn't being fixed.

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.

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.

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!

For several months it has been increasingly hard to keep my vehicle running/in motion when going up steep hills or gradients on all roadways. i took it to a mechanic. he replaced the alternator. the problem continues to get worse. the vehicle can be driven. sometimes i can ease my foot off the accelerator or restart and the warning light will go off and not come back on. now the warning lights have started flashing. sometimes the vehicle starts shaking as though its going to quit running. i have been pulling off the road, turning on flashers and turning off the engine. after a minute i restart the engine and hopefully move on down the road. it's so bad now i'm afraid to drive but it's the only transport we have. i had a diagnostic done and was told it was a camshaft sensor. l looked this up to find out more about it. i found a website that said there was a crankshaft/camshaft recall on the make, model, and and year of my vehicle. the description of the problem the recalled vehicles were having was the same as mine. so i called my dealership service department to discuss this recall to see if they would fix my vehicle. they ran my v.i.n. number and i was told there was no recall on it. they want me to bring it in for a another diagnostic scan. i asked them to give me a guess as to how much it will cost me. i haven't heard from them yet. i don't understand why the v.i.n. makes a difference since my vehicle is the same make, model ,and year as ones on recall. i think there should further investigation into other vehicles having this problem. i know of one other person, with same vehicle as mine, who said their vehicle has been acting like mine. i have no other transport. i am worried about others and myself driving a vehicle with this problem. i'm afraid someone will have a wreck. please investigate this further.

My car was parked at home in parking lot. i used car earlier during the morning and had no problems with it. during the afternoon i went outside to crank car and it started with no problems. i then realized i forgot something in my home and turned car off took key out the ignition and went to retrieve what i had forgotten. i came back out not even 30 seconds, attempted to crank car and the dash board lights, ac came on, but car would not crank. it made no noise to indicate it was trying to turn over nothing. after trying a few times i called geico to have someone come out to possibly jump start the car, but that person tested the battery, oil, alternator, and started and said none of them were a problem. i then ordered a tow truck thru geico, he arrived about an hour later and he immediately sat in vehicle and car cranked with no problems. the engine light on dash also disappeared. the next day i took the vehicle to have it checked again and i have a print out that shows that neither the battery, starter, alternator or engine oil were a factor. i haven't had any other issues with the car cranking since that day. no one seems to know why it would not start.

Two things are wrong with my jeep and have been since the first week i've had it, but the newport power dealer keeps telling me that "if there ever was anything wrong with the car, it fixed itself". bs nothing is fixed! so the first thing is the safety seatbelt sensor's. when i have a passenger up front and they're buckled up it keeps beeping saying that they're not buckled up. doesn't happen every time i have a passenger but it's super annoying and happens mostly while driving in town. the second thing is that since the first week i've had the jeep, the engine keeps stalling and other times acts like it's going to die but doesn't. ( newport power dealer told me this issue was due to poor gas mixtures during different times of the year. i'm not stupid and know that's not the issue, i have three other cars that do not do this at all!) the car stalls so far only while stopped at lights, in driveway's, drive through etc. this happens multiple times a week. while driving either in town, turning corners, driving straight or on the highway, the jeep acts as if it's going to die. this happens frequently while driving. also my back windshield has been leaking since i got the car but the power deler says it's fine. i'm very tired of hearing bs from the power dealer here in newport oregon, i have an extended warranty and i think they just don't want to honor it! these issues have been happening since i bought the car in 2016 to today in 2018.

On monday 07/09/2018, while stopped on a city street was rear-ended by a truck which didn't stop going approximately 40 -50 mph. it smashed my car into the vehicle in front which was a car length away. the seat broke backwards, the center console between the seats flew off, and none of the airbags in the vehicle deployed, knees went forward into the dash.

Air bag alarm and light keeps coming on and off.

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.

I was not informed of this recall and had no knowledge why my car would stall. no notice was sent o my house. i want another vehicle, it can be used same year and style but fixed!

I come down a small over pass, and ice wasn’t visible/ when i braked my left tire driver side at the curb

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.

A very strong exhaust smell like gas in the car from the exhaust system.

I have not even had the vehicle a week yet. the engine has died on me twice. once while driving 40 mph going to work on a dark two lane road. no warning lights, no sounds - just all of the sudden i was not moving and i was left in the middle of the road. i wasn't even able to coast to the side. the second time i was stopped at a light and idling. the engine died. again, no warning lights or anything. on 3 instances the engine will turn over but not crank. it starts after several tries. the vehicle is a previously owned with just under 11,000 miles on it. i am concerned about driving it now. if it dies while on the interstate then i could get into a serious accident.

Maybe a month ago ok drove to work as normal my vehicle sits parked most of the day as i was leaving to go home my vehicle would not turn over every i had no clue assuming this is a fairly new vehicle so i again attempted to crank the vehicle and and started . i thought nothing of it but last night i purchased gas at the same place just around the corner from home just as i made my turn to cross the median it thumps twice and just shut off i try not to complain but should that have happened on a highway or any street i could have not just hurt i could have hurt others . i sat there on the side of the road in front of a church grateful . s o now the vehicle won't start sounds like it wants to bit won't

Engine will not start unless i press on the brake and put the car in drive, then back in park. it does this everyday.

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.

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.

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

The vehicle has consistent fuel injection issues which cause the car to stutter when accelerating up hills. i took the vehicle to the dealership twice and they said they could not find problem. now that it is out of warranty the problem is persistent and there is an engine fault

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. while driving 20 mph, the vehicle jerked and the steering wheel was unbearable to steer. the contact stated that excessive strength was needed to steer the vehicle. once the vehicle gained speed, it became easier to operate. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 60,555.

When driving the engine will stall/stop without warning. with it going staright or turning it does not matter. you have to completely stop the vehicle and then restart the engine. this has happened on a number of occasions

Tire pressure sensor light has been on since car was bought new, had it checked by dealer and they said it would go off after driven a few miles. engine light came on around 50k miles and before i could get it checked it went off. i was told the only way the computer could detect the problem was if the light was on. it has came on and gone back off several times. now it has came on at 90k miles and the i had it checked and was told i had a bad crankshaft sensor and a bad camshaft sensor. now the transmission has started slipping at 90k miles. i’m also on my 3rd set of tires on the front because the front end will not stay aligned

A crack appeared on the driver side windshield for no reason, did not hit anything.

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

I was adding gas to the jeep and the gas spewed out because the cutoff did not work; it is not the gas station's problem because i have used the pump for my car and it cuts off when the tank is full. my son had the same problem at another gas station where there is a defect in the jeep in that it doesn't cut off the gas when full. this needs to be addressed immediately or i am going to start a class-action lawsuit before someone gets covered in gas.

The system that monitors whether a passenger is in the passenger seat malfunctions and causes the seatbelt to show unbuckled therefore turning the airbag off in case of an accident. this specific piece of equipment has been recalled on similar vehicles in the same year but my vin was not selected and my dealership wanted me to pay in order to fix it because it was a safety risk.

I was driving down the road and barely touched the shifter and when i touch the shifter it slipped over into where you shift your gears i feel like it's a could catch the car on fire because it is revved up so high and you don't even realize it because you cant hear it unless you you got radio off and windows up and you can never tell i definitely think they should have made it more safe when from some kind of a lock on the shifter for when you want to go over into where you shift the gears yourself not to mention how expensive cars are and that you could very easily tear up your car by it being in the manual shifting area rather than the automatic shift

The cv axles have gone bad on a car that is brand new after only 2 years i haven't even been driving it 2 years and i feel that it can mess up my steering and and cause me to have a wreck due to the clicking and popping and vibrations being put off by the steering and from tires even going thirty and not during a turn

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. while driving at unknown speeds, the tire pressure warning indicator illuminated and an abnormal noise was heard. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (napleton’s river oaks chrysler dodge jeep ram, 17225 torrence ave, lansing il 60438) where it was diagnosed that the control assembly panel, control sensor, and sensor light failed and reprogramming was needed. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 32,000. *tt

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.

While driving slowly (~10 mph) sb i prepared to make a right-turn (wb), in the only lane that turns right. as i neared the intersection the light turned green, enabling me and the (1) lane on my left to go (it goes sb). no car was ahead of me (to turn). the street i was turning onto had one (wb) lane, and two lanes (stopped), that go eb. note: (may be relevant), i frequently down-shift (automatic) transmissions (using the "paddles" or "buttons", whatever's on the shift column), on all automatic trans. cars i drive, when i slow down. i do this to save wear & tear on my brakes, when approaching stop-signs or red-lights. i down shift gradually, just like on a manual trans. when it's time to go, i hold the paddle in the "up-shift" mode, until i see "drive" on the trans. indicator. in this accident, as the light turned green (the trans. was in a low gear), i held the paddle in "up-shift" mode (note: i may have clicked the paddle 1 gear up before it went to "drive", i don't remember), and started the turn, barely pressing the accelerator. when i was appr. halfway (45 degrees) into the turn (pointed swb at the opposite two lanes), i felt the engine "stagger" (like if you accidentally shift a manual trans. into a high gear but you meant a low gear), and in a fraction of a second-the car rocketed ahead (i heard rpms) slamming me into the wb car(s) so fast, i didn't even make 90 degrees, nor could i brake (i tried). the 1st car impacted went backward (and to the right) hitting the car behind, and hit the car in the right lane. note: 1. jeep was totaled. 2. this accident was in dry weather, mid-morning @ intersection i drive nearly every day. 3.the airbag failed & i was briefly knocked-out w/some injuries. 4. this is not: " i hit the gas but meant the brake" case, i went from slow to rocket-ship. 5. i've been driving > 40 years w/o accident. 5. i'm a pilot w/good reflexes. *tt *tr

Jeep in motion, engine stalls at varies speeds multiple times in a row. headed straight or turning, had to call tow truck but after 20 minutes i tried to turn over my jeep and it started. this happened 3 different times before arriving home. kept call center rep. on phone until i was 2 miles away from my home. 1 time jeep paused like not getting gas then i pressed the pedal and it accelerated (all right in the middle of intersection) then drove the remaining mile and a 1/4 home while on phone with husband. advance auto told me possible fuel issue, i added lucas fuel system cleaner. now looking at recalls online and reading about camshaft or crankshaft sensor. miles on jeep 41688.

Rear tire area makes a grinding sound, auto shop explained that it was the control arm and suspension (rear cradle assembly) was broken at weld connection to the frame. spoke to another auto shop about repairs, told i was mistaken, part should not break. contacted warranty tech/edge warranties regarding issue, told to take to dealership. dealership calls back same day and said that it broke because it had been pulled wrong...i asked what that meant, dealership said that it had been towed wrong. i told him that we had purchased new from the lot and had never been towed. representative said he would look further into issue after telling me that i needed to contact my insurance. next day, representative of dealership calls (breeden dodge) and tells me that once they took the wheel off and examined further, that the "pulled wrong theory" was out the door, that it basically just broke, and that it should not have. i again told him that from each professional i spoken with that it was more than likely a manufacturer defect/error. he said he would contact chrysler to see if they would stand behind issue. i dropped the vehicle off on a wednesday, the following wednesday, the representative calls back saying that chrysler will not stand behind, but that i needed to contact insurance company. i told him that i had an extended warranty through warranty tech/edge warranties (chrysler calls it one thing and dealership calls it another). the representative acted like the extended warranty was an issue, each time i mentioned it, but said he would contact them. he called back a couple of hours later and said that the warranty would not cover because it is part of the frame. he then insisted that i contact my insurance company. i told him i would contact both chrysler and warranty tech. i contacted chrysler and almost got it approved as he had only contacted them the day prior.

Passenger seat belt retracted so tight my son was unable to get out of the vehicle. he was unable to breath. the seat belt had to be cut. the car was not in motion. i had to ask a police officer for assistance.

I've had constant issue with my breaks squealing. after having the vehicle about 9 months the abs light would come on any time i drove across a speed bump in a parking lot, any area on a roadway that was uneven. a few months later when turning right, my left wheel continued to go to the left. at random times when turning left either from a stop or going around a curve there is a loud grinding noise or humming noise coming from underneath the carriage in the front.

Shifts from d to 1st on its own: from a stop, the 2016 jeep patriot semi-automatic transmission drops to first gear on its own. there is no indication until the driver has pulled into traffic and has no acceleration power. the dash light indicates the vehicle is in 1st gear, but the driver was not expecting this and must either gun the engine and take rpms off the chart to avoid a crash from oncoming vehicles, or manually shift the vehicle to n or p and then return to d for a type of "reset". the issue is intermittant. the dealership where we bought the vehicle cannot replicate the problem (in to shop 3x for this issue). they replaced the stick sensor and opened two separate staron packs with jeep engineers. but the problem continues. i suspect its transmission ($$) related or electrical ($$). moving on to new dealership service. fingers crossed. cruise control: when cruise engaged at 70-75 mph on open hwy, had to slow for traffic. speed dropped down to about 60-65. when reengaged cruise, the vehicle accelerated uncontrollably--rpms shot through the roof. had to tap the breaks to disengage cruise and whole family experienced a hard lurch. reported issue to jeep service as perhaps related to issue with downshifting to first. response was that this was normal. seatbelts: when a person weighing more than 230lbs sits in the front seats, the seat belt warning sound dings as if the belt is not engaged. the dealership replaced sensors in both front seats. problem resolved.

I bought my 2016 jeep patriot new. it has 20,000 miles. the abs and traction control light is on. cruise control stopped working. windshield wipers make popping noise when on. when at a stop the engine makes a rattling sound. when acceleration it makes a weird noise and takes forever to get it to the speed of 60mph. i can't get my car in for repair until june 14, 2016. everything that went wrong happened at the same time except the windshield wipers. i smell a lemon in the bunch here!!!

Roof leaking through rear cargo light, dealer failed to repair properly after 4 attempts.

Just got the jeep but did not take home for three days after the sale.the wire harness was bad on the jeep? so far no problems so far after we got it home! its the 75 anniversary edition real nice.love it. have own 2 patritots before this one. and no problems with them.

I purchased this vehicle 2 and a half weeks ago and it has been back to the dealer 4 times because of the check engine light. the first time they stated it was a sensor for the breaks. second, time they stated, for the same thing a brake sensor. third, time they said the sensor was bad. now for the fourth time they are saying it's a module. no, it's time for a new truck a 2016 jeep should not have the engine light come on at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's time to be in the process to file the lemon law because the car has been back up their four times maybe even more for the check engine light.

Purchased this jeep in march. it is now just a little over a month later and already this jeep has been in the shop twice for water leaking into the rear dome light, filling the light fixture with water, and when you make a turn the water will leak out of the dome light and onto the rear of the vehicle all over the carpeted area where items are stored. both times i have noticed the water it has been in the morning after it has rained at night and i am opening the hatch to put my belongings inside. twice already in the shop for this same issue and i my first car payment isn't even due!

My wife and i were hit head on by a drunk driver, we were both rendered unconscious when we awoke the air bags were on fire. the vehicle was stationary

Vehicle stalled while driving and stopping.

The car was jerking to the left and caused me to hit a semi truck. the pulling was very hard and sudden. this happened on west georgia road in simpsonville south carolina.

There is an approximately 1/2 second delay from when the horn switch is pressed to when the horn sounds. this is a dangerous safety hazard and has already resulted in my experiencing 3 near misses since taking ownership of the vehicle (in october 2015). the failure of the horn to sound when needed caused me to take evasive maneuvers because the other drivers didn't hear it in time. november 2015 in hoboken new jersey i was heading north on washington street at 25 mph when someone started to back out of a curb facing parking spot. the driver apparently didn't see me and proceeded to pull out. i held down the horn but by the time it sounded the driver was too close and was about to t-bone me. i had to drive onto to wrong side of the road to avoid him. luckily no one was approaching in the opposite direction. again in november of 2015 i was heading north on us route 202, doing about 30 mph in a 40 mph zone in parsippany new jersey. a car shoots out of a corporate park driveway headed straight toward me. i held down the horn and again it sounded about a half a second later, too late for the oncoming driver to realize it. we both slammed on the brakes when we saw each other and luckily there was no accident. december 2015 in wayne new jersey heading west on preakness avenue (one lane in each direction) i approached a curve to the right traveling at 25 mph. the driver of an oncoming car (on the other side of the road) crossed over the double yellow lines onto my side of the road. i held down the horn and it didn't sound until the other driver almost hit me. luckily there was a small shoulder on my side and i was able to quickly move my right two wheels onto it and avoid the collision. jeep and the dealership i purchased the vehicle from state that this behavior is normal as the horn is designed to use the vehicle's computer. no horn should use the computer.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that the engine warning light remained illuminated and the vehicle swerved to the left while driving. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the vin was not available. the manufacturer was not notified. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 2,928.

Driving down highway vehicle had sudden loss of all power. headlamps flickered and everything shut off. unable to put hazard lights on or use horn to warn oncoming traffic.

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.

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 at a full stop at a stop light, the car attempted to accelerate to 40 mph. a red lightning bolt lit up on the dash. the car was shut down. when the car was restarted, the check engine light came on. the car still randomly attempts to accelerate under all and any driving conditions. so far the acceleration sensor has been replaced with no avail. currently trying another service group to isolate and correct the problem. the vehicle is dangerous because there is no predictable pattern to the random accelerations. the date noted is the last occurance. we've been attempting to get the vehicle repaired since july 18, 2018.

I was driving on a city street around 2:30 pm when i notice smoke coming out from under my hood. i pulled off to a safe spot and by this time ii could see the fire coming out of the front of my jeep. three fire inspectors looked at it and are unable to determine the cause of the fire. however, a jeep mechanic also looked at it and believes the fire started behind the battery. the jeep is totaled. still waiting on reports from the insurance company. cynthia i just wanted to give you an update. we did hire some people who went out and also were not able to fully determine the fire. i am having a hard time getting in contact with chrysler. i will keep trying and let you know what they tell me. depending on what they tell me we might move forward with more investigation. i will keep you updated. from progressive claim #161737586 agent amy etta ph. 503-495-4507

While driving at 10 mph on traffic entering the university the steering gradually became stiffer, until the engine suddenly turnoff by itself, loosing all the controls of the car. no sensors or safety lights went on at the time of the incident. after a few minutes i turned that car back on and everything was in working order. i called the road assistance and informed the dealer since the car was serviced back on february 23, 2017 due to a safety recall notice s89 - crankshaft camshaft sensor, at a higher speed this incident could have resulted in a mayor collision. the service department of benitez chrysler is evaluating the cause. so far the diagnostics indicate a stop land switch failure at the break. i indicated that they have to call chrysler and odi-nhtsa in order to report the incident and look for guidance, since i will not expose any life on a new car unresolved safety problem.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 jeep patriot. the contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving, without warning. 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.

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.

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 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.

My malfunctioning jeep patriot experienced sudden unexpected acceleration which resulted in a totaled car, 2 damaged buildings, and a fca letter stonewalling and washing their hands of. this accident came within a whisker of taking our lives. accident happened as i descended our driveway to our house. deep skid tire marks in gravel they chose to ignore. their "investigation" was very very shallow. i have a detailed description of all that happened that day and police report which i can fax to you. i am a very angry and frustrated veteran i need you. thanks.*dt*dt*jp

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
