2015 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

MY JEEP HAS 44000 MILES ON IT, WHILE OUT OF TOWN CAMPING MY JEEP JUST STARTED SHUTTING OFF, AT ALL SPEEDS WITH NO WARNING. THIS IS VERY SCARY WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I MANAGED TO GET MY JEEP TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP, WHO TOLD ME MY THROTTLE CONTROL BOX FAILED !!!!! AT 44000 THOUSAND MILES!! $$$$1200.00 LATER AND 8 HOURS I WAS ON MY WAY AGAIN, BUT THE VERY NEXT DAY I STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUE SO FAR ITS HAPPEN TWICE AGAIN. THE PART I FIND STRANGE IS THAT THIS SAME THING HAPPEN TO THE LADY SITTING NEXT TO ME AT THE DEALERSHIP, SO SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO A NEWER JEEP WITH LOW MILLAGE, BOTH MYSELF AND THE OTHER LADY ARE GRANDMAS AND NOT OUT 4 WHEELING OR BEING RUFF ON OUR JEEPS. I NEED SOME ANSWERS AND WANT JEEP TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR!

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE IS A PROBLEM IDENTIFIED UNDER A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLES MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT MY VIN.

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON. VEHICLE STARTS JERKING, SLOWING, AND DIES. CAUSING YOU TO LOSE STEERING AND ADEQUATE BRAKES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST STEERING ABILITY. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOUR OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO HENDRIX JEEP CHRYSLER FIAT (543 N MCPHERSON CHURCH RD, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28303) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY, SPARK PLUGS, AND AIR FILTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED TWICE AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AFTER THE LAST FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

TAKATA RECALL ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON CAUSE THE CAR TO LOSE SPEED AND EVENTUALLY STALL AS THE WEATHER CHANGES. WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION ONCE REACHING ABOVE 40 MILES PER HOUR.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET DOING ABOUT 25 MPH AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY ENGINE SHUT OFF. MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR AND MY BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. LUCKILY I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART MY CAR.

MY JEEP STARTS STALLING AND SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING. IT IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. WE HAVE SPENT OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS FIXING THIS ISSUE.AS WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR STALLS THEN COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN, NO WARNING CAUSES PEOPLE TO SLAM ON BREAKS OR SWERVE TO NOT HIT INTO. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON FOR A DAY OR SO THEN TURNS OFF. ERROR CODE: P0335 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT.

WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT ON OR ABOUT APRIL 15 2019, THE VEHICLE KEPT KILLING WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PCM HAD SHORTED OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE NEW PCM WAS INSTALLED ON APRIL 20, 2019. THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN ON APRIL 24, 2019. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TRACED THE WIRES IN THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A WEEK AND CONTACTED ME ON MAY 1, 2019 STATING THAT THEY HAD DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION COIL WHICH WAS CORRECTED. WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIIMATELY 5:00 P.M.ON MAY 1ST, DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME ABOUT 10 MILES, TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE 1 HOUR LATER AND THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. WE WILL NOW HAVE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHY HAVEN'T THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOTS BEEN RECALLED?

VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING, STALLED ON BUSY ROADS, ON HILLS, TURNING CORNERS, ECT. STALLING OCCURRED AT INFREQUENT INTERVALS. SOMETIMES 3 TIMES A DAY, THEN WOULDN'T HAPPEN FOR A FEW WEEKS. SOMETIMES THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON AFTER THE STALLING. SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD START RIGHT BACK UP WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE KEY, BUT THEN DIE AGAIN AFTER TRAVELING 50-100 FEET. MECHANICS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSIS PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND NO ERROR REPORT WAS GENERATED . FINALLY, AFTER 2 MONTHS OF TROUBLE, THE CAR FINALLY SHOWED AN ENGINE ERROR CODE AFTER STALLING. CODE WAS FOR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. HAD IT REPAIRED FOR $162.40. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN YOUR CAR DIES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THERE IS NO AREA TO SAFELY COAST TO OUT OF THE WAY OF DANGER. ALWAYS FEARFUL OF GETTING REAR-ENDED. MECHANICS CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE IS UNTIL THERE IS AN ENGINE LIGHT ON. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT IT, BUT JEEP HASN'T WARNED CUSTOMERS OF THE PROBLEM.
