2015 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

March 11, 2023, we were traveling on Route 193, in Greenbelt, Md. when another driver attempted a left turn taking our right of way. We didn't have any advanced warning and impacted the other vehicle. We were traveling approximately 30-35mph in a 35mph zone. The impact caused us to go into the dash. The airbags did not deploy.

On 5 occasions at various speeds and types of roads, my vehicle suddenly goes into limp mode, the engine shuts off and power steering goes out. I have very limited time and control to move off the road before the car behind me slams into me. The majority of the instances this has happened, the orange anti-skid light comes on though road conditions were fine. I found a recall of 2016 Jeep Patriots (s89/NHTSA 16-v-907 Crankshaft/Camshaft Sensor Wire Harness) and many complaints I've found experiencing the same thing I experienced were included in this recall. Mechanic ran my Jeep's code and it showed a number of things were triggered but he couldn't pinpoint what exactly could be the cause based on the code errors. I have a young child in a car seat in the back of my car and feel extremely unsafe taking her anywhere, let alone when it's just me in the car. Please consider adding the 2015 Patriot to this recall.

The airbag light is on and I am afraid it will deploy at any time. The dealership and manufacturer say the part they need is on backorder with the supplier, but it has been 3 months since the problem was diagnosed, so it has not been repaired.

I'm having acceleration issues and the roms are going too high before shifting. And the steering column starts shaking on the highway after o get going fast like 45 or so. There's one light on and it's my low tire pressure light, but the tires aren't really low. And the issue has been occuring on and off periodically since after I had my brake job in November. It might be an issue with the brake job because I can hear the brakes rubbing. But I sought advice from a mechanic and he thinks its the TCM that needs to be serviced. The issue hasn't occured for a couple weeks and then it occured again today.

Jeep entered limp mode right as I was pulling out on to the street. Brought the car into a mechanic to have it diagnosed, turns out to be the ETC. Call a dealership to get a estimate on cost, they told me that a significant portion the jeep patriots from that year are currently experiencing this, to the point where the part is on back order nation wide. Estimated repair cost $1400. 40,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the front driver seat headrest was deployed without warning or impact. The headrest hit the back of the contact's head which caused pain to his head, back, and neck. The contact did not seek medical treatment. The dealer was initially contacted and he was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.

Driver side AHR deployed while vehicle was parked in the driveway. Albeit there want anyone in the car and thank god it wasn’t being driven but this is safety issue in my opinion. I’ve looked into resetting it and attempted to but then noticed that the system wasn’t activated and the plastic that holds the straining pin in has broke. Now I’ve stuck with a deployed headrest and a bill to replace it when this is clearly a fiat Chrysler problem

Vehicle stalls in moving traffic.Cuts off and traction light comes on. Many owners have reported the problem with continuous replacing parts and the issue comes back in a day or so

The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring increasingly while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that the vehicle lost motive power. The contact veered to the side of the road and was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the crankshaft position sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.

ON JUN 1 2022, MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON , THEN THE BRAKES CAME ON WITHOUT ME APPLYING THEM SEVERAL TIMES, I CALLED THE DEALER SAWYER MOTORS ,AND THE SERVICE MANAGER. SAID THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE WITH THIS MODEL TO OTHER CUSTOMERS. I AM A CERTIFIED MECHANIC ALSO SO I PULLED THE FUSES FOR THE ABS SYSTEM SO THE BRAKES WILL NOT COME ON WITHOUT ME APPLYING THEM . THAT STOPPED THE PROBLEM BUT NOW I HAVE NO CRUIZE CONTROL, SPEEDOMETER, OR BACK UP LIGHTS. I CHECKED THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL BEARING HUB AND THE SPEED SENSOR HAD COME OUT OF A WEAK POORLY DESIGNED THIN HOLDING CLAMP ON THE REAR WHEEL HUB. MOST CARS HAVE A MORE SECURE WAY OF HOLDING THIS SENSOR TO THE REAR HUB NOT A THIN SHEET METAL CLIP WHICH RUSTS Away and the sensor just falls out....! causing all these problems and the safety issue.. NOW THE WhOLE HUB HAS TO BE REPLACED AT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS COST.
