2016 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR RUNS ROUGH. I'VE SCANNED THE CAR AND NO CODES COME UP. I WAS DRIVING AND THE ETC LIGHT FLASHED AND IT FELT LIKE THE TIME WENT OUT. I WAS AFRAID THAT MY CAR WENT OUT OF TIME. WHILE DRIVING AND SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES SLIPS OUT OF GEAR PREMATURELY. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT WHEN ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENED.

VEHICLE STARTED SLIPPING IN GEAR. WITHIN DAY AND A HALF OF FIRST SIGNS OF GEAR NOT CATCHING, THE VEHICLE GRINDS DOWN THE CLUTCH AND NO LONGER WENT STATIONARY AND NO LONGER WOULD DRIVE. ONLY HAS 49000 MILES. DRIVEN THREE VEHICLES IN 20 YEARS WITH MA UAL TRANSMISSION AND NEVER HAD PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY WON'T HONOR AGREED TO TERMS OF EXTENDED WARRANTY SO CAN'T GET PICS

I PURCHASED A USED 2016 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE 11 MONTHS AGO IT ONLY HAD 32,000 WHEN I BOUGHT IT LESS THAN A MONTH LATER I STARTED HAVING WEIRD ISSUES WITH MY JEEP DYING WHILE DRIVING OR WIND SHIELD WIPERS COMING ON BY THEMSELVES AS WELL AS MY A/C GOING OFF AND ON AND MY HEAD LIGHTS FLICKERING OFF AND ON...TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS A FAULTY TIPM THEY REPLACED IT WITH "SUPPOSEDLY A NEW ONE" UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW LESS THAN 9 MONTHS LATER STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AGAIN!

WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SENSOR LIGHT AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE LOSES POWER, THE TRANSMISSION IS CHOPPY AND I CANT DRIVE FASTER THAN 20-30 MILES PER HOUR. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART, THE SENSOR LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT GOES OFF, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE CAR RUNS NORMAL. AFTER FIVE MINUTES, THE AFOREMENTIONED LIGHTS COME BACK ON AND THE ENGINE RETURNS TO ITS SUBNORMAL RUNNING CONDITIONS. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC EXPLANATION FOR THIS PROBLEM AND ACCORDING TO JEEP'S FORUMS, IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG ALL JEEP MODELS.

1ST: ABS LIGHT AND ANTI SKID WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED 8/31/2018. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 20000 MILES. MY SISTER IN LAW OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT IN TEXAS AND IT HAS DEVELOPED THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM. THE LIGHTS SOMETIMES GO OFF BUT KEEP COMING BACK ON. NOT SURE IF ABS IS FUNCTIONAL. 2ND: DEALER ADVISES THAT THE WHEEL MOUNTING BOLTS (5 EACH WHEEL) ARE DEFECTIVE AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SCHEDULED WARRANTY SERVICE WITH DEALER FOR LATE SEPT BUT THESE FAILURES SEEM ODD FOR SUCH A NEW CAR AND HAVE HAPPEN ON AT LEAST ONE OTHER 2016 MODEL IN TEXAS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS UNBEARABLE TO STEER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EXCESSIVE STRENGTH WAS NEEDED TO STEER THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE VEHICLE GAINED SPEED, IT BECAME EASIER TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,555.

A CRACK APPEARED ON THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD FOR NO REASON, DID NOT HIT ANYTHING.

THE VEHICLE HAS CONSISTENT FUEL INJECTION ISSUES WHICH CAUSE THE CAR TO STUTTER WHEN ACCELERATING UP HILLS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE PROBLEM IS PERSISTENT AND THERE IS AN ENGINE FAULT

WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE WILL STALL/STOP WITHOUT WARNING. WITH IT GOING STARIGHT OR TURNING IT DOES NOT MATTER. YOU HAVE TO COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW, HAD IT CHECKED BY DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD GO OFF AFTER DRIVEN A FEW MILES. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AROUND 50K MILES AND BEFORE I COULD GET IT CHECKED IT WENT OFF. I WAS TOLD THE ONLY WAY THE COMPUTER COULD DETECT THE PROBLEM WAS IF THE LIGHT WAS ON. IT HAS CAME ON AND GONE BACK OFF SEVERAL TIMES. NOW IT HAS CAME ON AT 90K MILES AND THE I HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD I HAD A BAD CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND A BAD CAMSHAFT SENSOR. NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED SLIPPING AT 90K MILES. I'M ALSO ON MY 3RD SET OF TIRES ON THE FRONT BECAUSE THE FRONT END WILL NOT STAY ALIGNED
