2015 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND MY JEEP STARTED TO JERK ALL OF A SUDDEN. I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING IN MAY AND THE LAST TIME IS HAPPENED WAS JUNE 22 2020. JEEP NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RECALL ASAP! *TR

I WAS TURNING ONTO MY STREET AND MY WHEELS LOCKED UP. I PARKED CAR (MY SON WAS IN THE BACK 3.9 YEARS OLD) AND NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD, OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW A HUGE FIRE. WENT TO STORE SO HAD WATER - POURED 6 WATER BOTTLES ON THE FIRE TO PUT IT OUT.*DT CONSUMER STATED INCIDENT OCCURRED 5 HOURS AFTER THE OIL CHANGE THAT DAY.*JB *TR

DRIVING ON HWY 90 FOR AN HOUR GOING 70MPH. LOUD WHINING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE ENGINE THEN TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN EVEN WITH TRYING TO KEEP SPEED. SPEED KEPT DECREASING SO I PULLED OVER FOR 20 MINUTES AND WENT HOME. *TR

2015 JEEP PATRIOT HAS STALLED, LOST POWER, AND SHUT DOWN ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN MOTION ON THE STREET AND HIGHWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM OF WINTER HAVEN (299 CYPRESS GARDENS BLVD, WINTER HAVEN, FL 33880) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STARTED DROPPING TO 0 RPM DURING DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND SITUATIONS (SOME 30MPH, SOME 60MPH, SOME TURNING, SOME GOING STRAIGHT, BUT NEVER STALLED WHILE STOPPED) ON AND OFF FOR A WEEK WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR FAULT CODES PRESENT. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 8 MONTHS PREGNANT GOING 65MPH THE JEEP STALLED OUT AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT SHOWED UP AS A CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAULT, WE REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND NOW IT IS STUCK IN TIP START MODE AND WILL NOT START! THIS IS THE 3RD BRAND SENSOR THAT HAS BEEN TRIED. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2016 RECALL ISSUE (SAFETY RECALL S89 / NHTSA 16V-907 CRANKSHAFT CAMSHAFT SENSOR WIRE HARNESS) THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS SAFETY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOT HAVING REOCCURRING SIMILAR ISSUES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS IS A 1 OWNER PURCHASED BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN CARED FOR PROPERLY AND HAS HAD MORE ISSUES THAN A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD. STALLING OUT AT 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHILE 8 MONTHS PREGNANT COULD OF KILLED ME AND MY UNBORN CHILD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

HEADREST "SAFETY" FEATURE DEPLOYED WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. HEADREST WILL NOT GO BACK IN RESULTING IN THE AIR BAG LIGHT NOT BEING ABLE TO BE RESET. VEHICLE WAS NOT CRANKED OR MOVING WHEN HEADREST DEPLOYS.

MY CAR WAS IN MOTION AND I LOST POWER WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. I GOT THE CAR TOWED AND WHEN IT ARRIVED AT THE MECHANIC IT STARTED BACK UP JUST FINE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AS NO ERROR MESSAGE WAS ON MY DASHBOARD, THEREFORE THEIR DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL. THE MECHANIC KEPT MY CAR FOR A WHILE AND IT FINALLY GAVE OUT ON THEM AGAIN AND THEY DISCOVERED BY THROTTLE BODY HAD GONE OUT. I HAD THIS ISSUE IN MAY OF 2017 AND HAD IT FIXED AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND LESS THAN 3 YEARS LATER MY CAR HAS THE VERY SAME ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THERE WAS A PERIODIC JERK AND THAN IT BEGAN TO LOOSE ACCELERATION. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON GAS IT WOULDN'T GO AND THAN IT JUST DIED. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS BATTERY SO WE REPLACED BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH THE PERIODIC JERK AND THE BATTERY LIGHT NOW COMES ON AND OFF. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO TAKE MY SON TO SCHOOL, WHEN WHILE ON A BUSY CITY STREET MY CAR STARTED TO JERK, AND SUDDENLY I WAS NO LONGER TO ACCERALATE. I WAS LITERALLY SCARED FOR MY LIFE AND MY CHILD, AS THE SPEED OF MY CAR SLOWED DOWN SO FAST, THAT I ALMOST GOT REARENDED. WHEN MY CAR SLOWED DOWN AND COULD NO LONGER ACCERALATE, MY CHECK ENGINE, ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. IT WAS VERY ODD AS THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I READ AND SEEN THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING. I'M SURPRISED THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED DUE TO THIS, I COULD NOT IMAGINE IF I WAS THE HIGHWAY BEHIND A BIG RIG AND MY SPEED QUICKLY DROPPED LIKE THAT OR IF SOMEONE WAS RIDING MY TAIL, THERE IS NO WAY THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SLOW DOWN QUICK ENOUGH TO PREVENT FROM HITTING ME. I SEEN THAT PEOPLE WITH JEEPS HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE, REGARDLESS OF THE YEAR OF THE PATRIOT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PART.
