2016 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

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.

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

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED AND ALL OF THE CAMSHAFT SENSORS WERE REPLACED. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

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.

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.
