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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO REMAIN STATIONARY FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BAYIRD DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM OF MALDEN (2774 N DOUGLASS ST, MALDEN, MO 63863) WHERE A TUNE UP WAS PERFORMED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

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

I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MANUFACTURER AS THE SYMPTOMS I'M EXPERIENCING ARE IDENTICAL TO THE ISSUES ADDRESSED IN TSB: NHTSA16V907000 FROM 2016/12/16 CRANKSHAFT SENSOR MAY FAIL CAUSING ENGINE STALL. APPARENTLY, MY VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE INITIAL RECALL, YET MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT IS DEMONSTRATING THE EXACT PROBLEMS CITED IN THE INITIAL RECALL. MY SYMPTOMS INCLUDE INTERMITTENT TRIGGERING OF THE VEHICLE TO ENTER LIMP MODE RESULTING IN LOSS OF ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND DRASTIC REDUCTION OF ENGINE OUTPUT POWER. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATES, SPORADICALLY. ENGINE IDLES ROUGHLY AND/OR AT LOW RPMS SPORADICALLY. CYCLING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON WILL SOMETIMES RESULT IN THE A RETURN TO NORMAL VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE RESURFACE THE NEXT DAY. THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND ITS WIRING HARNESS, THE INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, EXHAUST CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ITS WIRING HARNESS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND THROTTLE BODY SHOULD ALL BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE NECESSARY COMPUTER RESET/REPROGRAMMING SHOULD BE PERFORMED AS WELL.

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

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

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

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