2016 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

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?

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY JEEP WILL JUST STALL AND PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. NO WARNINGS WITH ANY DASH LIGHTS.

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.

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.

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

SAME EXACT ISSUE AS SAFETY RECALL S89 / NHTSA 16V-907 STALLLES ARRIVING AND WON'T RESTART

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.

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.
