LEAVING ME ABOUT 8 SECONDS TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE JEEP STARTED RIGHT BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEM AND DROVE WITH NO ISSUES. ABOUT A DAY AFTER EACH EPISODE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF. BOTH TIMES, I ALMOST GOT HIT BY SEMI TRUCKS BECAUSE I DRIVE IN A BIG CITY.

' TAKATA RECALL' WHILE DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET , MY ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I GOT SEVERAL LIGHTS ON MY DASH . AFTER PUTTING IN PARK THE VEHICLE RESTARTED , BUT I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD SON AND I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND NOT KNOWING IF MY VEHICLE IS GOING TO STOP SUDDENLY IN TRAFFIC .

VEHICLE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHTS COMES ON WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION WHICH WILL THEN SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT YOU CAN NO LONGER CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THAT LIGHT COMES ONE THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AS WELL. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY CAR WILL LOSE ACCELERATION WHICH AGAIN YOU CAN'T PULL OVER IT WILL JUST STOP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE DEATH. I HAVE READ SO MANY MORE OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

JEEP STALLS WHEN DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED 6X IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS. TWICE THE ENGINE SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD. IT JUST SHUT OFF. IT WILL START AFTER SAY 5 OR 8 MINUTES AND ITS SCARY ESPECIALLY DRIVING ON 460E FROM NORFOLK TO RICHMOND 3X A WEEK FOR WORK. WILL SEND IT TO THE JEEP DEALER SHOP ON 9/10/19. I PURCHASED IT NEW. IT HAS 29000 MILES ON IT.

I DROVE 30 MINUTES TO WORK. STOPPED FOR 10 MINUTES TO GET BREAKFAST. AND AS I WAS PARKING MY CAR, 2016 JEEP PATRIOT, IT BEGAN TO SMOKE. NO LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED IT OFF AND GOT OUT. THEN THE CAR JUST CAUGHT A FIRE. A REGULARLY MAINTENANCE JEEP PATRIOT JUST CAUGHT FIRE AND IS DESTROYED.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT WHEN IT STARED MAKING A NOISE AND SHUTTER THEN LOST POWER AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR STEERING LOCKED UP WHEN TRYING TO STEER CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD. THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON RIGHT BEFORE IT STALLED AND LOST POWER.

WHEN I PUT MY SEATBELT ON IT COMES UNDONE WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT SEEMS LIKE IT DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT DO THIS EVERYTIME. I HAVE TO PULL MY SEATBELT TO TEST AND MAKE SURE IT HAS LATCHED. IF I WAS EVER TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT, I WOULD BE WORRIED THAT IT WOULD NOT HOLD.
