2016 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

I COME DOWN A SMALL OVER PASS, AND ICE WASN'T VISIBLE/ WHEN I BRAKED MY LEFT TIRE DRIVER SIDE AT THE CURB

I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THIS RECALL AND HAD NO KNOWLEDGE WHY MY CAR WOULD STALL. NO NOTICE WAS SENT O MY HOUSE. I WANT ANOTHER VEHICLE, IT CAN BE USED SAME YEAR AND STYLE BUT FIXED!

CAR SHUTS OFF AND LOSES POWER AT VARIOUS SPEEDS 1-65 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN IT LOSES POWER THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND YOU BETTER PULL OVER FAST OR YOU WONT BE ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU CAN GET IT TO START BACK UP. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE TO START BACK UP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME FOR 5 MONTHS NOW'. I'VE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG... I NEVER GOT NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS AND THEY DIDNT EVEN INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP PATRIOT THE TWO TIMES I'VE HAD IT IN. I AM NOW HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WILL NOT DRIVE MORE THAN A FEW FEET WITH CONSTANT SHUT DOWN. IT IS DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, UP HILL, DOWN HILL, FLAT, ETC.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THIS OCCURED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD. RESTARTED AND AS DRIVING HOME, VEHICLE TRIES TO ACCELARATE ITSELF WHILE CAR IS IDLING. HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE, IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN OFF. TOOK IN FOR REPAIRS AND DEALER STATES THAT THROTTLE BODY IS BAD AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES. ADVISED THAT IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS VEHICLE CAN LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTED ON ITS OWN OUT OF THE DRIVE POSITION. THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SCHUMACHER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF DELRAY (561-935-4210, LOCATED AT 2102 S FEDERAL HWY A, DELRAY BEACH, FL 33483) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,811.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GREENWOOD AUTO (659 S HIGH ST, CORTLAND, OH 44410, (330) 637-1055) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK SENSOR WIRING HARNESS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,280..*BF CONSUMER STATED ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE 1ST TIME CONSUMER WAS DRIVING 10MPH IN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE SHUTTING. CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES. ONE WEEK LATER, WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH CONSUMER PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR SLIGHTLY AND IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. CONSUMER MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND WAS STRANDED FOR 20 MINUTES ON THE ROAD. CONSUMER TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT IS THE EXACT PART THAT HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR OTHER JEEP PATRIOTS. WHEN THE CONSUMER CALLED THE MANUFACTURER FOR HER VEHICLE, SHE WAS TOLD HER VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT SHUTS OFF. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND CAME BACK ON. DROVE 2 TIMES (ONE TIME ON A HIGHWAY, NEXT ON A COUNTRY ROAD) LESS THAN 20 MINUTES WHEN IT TURNS OFF. TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND THEY ARE REPLACING A THROTTLE BODY SENSOR THAT IS NOT WORKING AFTER 46,000 PLUS MILES.

THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS/ LAGS DURING ACCELERATION. MORE SPECIFICALLY DURING STOPS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IT WILL DO THE SAME IN AN UPWARDS OF 50 MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY SHUDDERING AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I AM UNSURE WHAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM, I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR BACK IN NOVEMBER 2018 WITH 42K MILES ON IT. I HAVEN'T EVEN PUT 10K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS ACTING STRANGELY. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THIS CAR IS THE ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL SENSOR KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING. IT KEEPS COMING LOOSE FROM THE SENSOR THAT CONNECTS TO THE TIRE AND UNFORTUNATELY MOST PEOPLE ARE TOLD THEIR ABS SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE. I THINK THE SHUDDER/LAG ISSUE SHOULD BE LISTED AS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AND A BROADER RANGE OF OTHER JEEPS BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE A STANDARD ISSUE WITH JEEP PATRIOTS 2016 MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING).

WHEN INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS DELAYED DEPLOYMENT. THIS HAPPENED ON A DOWNTOWN STREET WITH SPEED OF 25 MPH. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION - SOMEONE FAILED TO YIELD RIGHT AWAY AND ACCIDENT COULDN'T BE AVOIDED.
