2012 Jeep Patriot complaints

IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER A CHOKEHOLD HOURS OF DRIVING, GAS TANK IS FINE, MY CAUSE SHUTS OFF, UNABLE TO ACCEL AND NO FUNCTION TO INCREASE SPEED. I HAVE TO THEN PULL TO THE SIDE AND WAIT FOR IT TO "COOL DOWN." THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING FOR 1 HR AND THE TRANSMISSION TEMP. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON.

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, MY CAR STARTS TO "BUCK" AND HAS BAD ACCELERATION EVEN WHILE DRIVING 70 DOWN THE FREEWAY. IT CONTINUES THIS PROBLEM UNTIL I HAVE ONLY 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND EVEN GOES BEYOND THAT. I'M STARTING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR STARTING ALSO AND IT SMELLS BADLY OF GAS FUMES.

WE BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY SON IN DEC 2016. IN THE SUMMER OF 2017, HE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, MAYBE TWO HOURS ON THE FREEWAY, HIS CAR LITERALLY SHUT DOWN. IT WENT FROM 70 MPH TO 20 MPH IMMEDIATELY. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES LAST SUMMER. WE TOOK THE CAR TO LITHIA DODGE OF SANTA ROSA, CA TWICE. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAD HIM COME HOME (CHESTER, CA) AND TOOK IT TO WHERE WE BOUGHT IT AT SUSANVILLE AUTO CENTER IN SUSANVILLE, CA. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EITHER. THEY DID SAY THAT THEY HAD TWO OTHER JEEPS WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION THAT THE CUSTOMERS SAID THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUES. AGAIN, THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. JUST NOW, MY SON CALLED (HE IS ON HIS WAY UP FOR EASTER) AND HE IS STUCK IN WOODLAND, CA ALONGSIDE THE FREEWAY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SUSANVILLE MOTORS HAD US CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH WE DID (OVER $400) TO HOPEFULLY FIX THE PROBLEM. IT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T. IT IS ONLY 75 DEGREES RIGHT NOW. THE CAR DOESN'T SHOW ANY SIGN OF OVERHEATING, ALL FLUIDS ARE GOOD, BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, AFTER DRIVING FREEWAY SPEEDS, THE OVERHEATING LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN. THE TEMPERATURE GAGE SAYS EVERYTHING IS GREAT. I HAVE GONE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SOME CHAT AREAS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN IS JEEP GOING TO PUT IN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? THEY HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT. IS IT GOING TO TAKE MY SON GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT AND GETTING HURT, OR EVEN WORSE, KI

WHEN IDLE, VEHICLE'S ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT COME ON TO THE DASH. WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, ACCELERATION IS VERY LOW. VEHICLE HAS A DIFFICULT TIME ACCELERATING. MAX SPEED WILL BE AT ABOUT 30 MPH. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, AS WELL. BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND THROTTLE BODY AS WELL, VIA MECHANIC'S CODE READINGS FROM THE VEHICLE. CAR CONTINUES TO SHOW WEEK ACCELERATING.

WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO "LOCK" UP, PREVENTING THE GEARS FROM SHIFTING AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVER-REV. SINCE THE GEARS DON'T SHIFT, THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS THE SECOND JEEP PATRIOT I HAVE OWNED AND THE SECOND ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE ISSUE IN THE FIRST WOULD CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO OVER HEAT AND EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOW TO A CRAWL. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING, WITH AN INFANT. WE WERE FORCED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY TO WAIT FOR IT TO COOL DOWN. THIS HAPPENED ONLY 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE 2013 JEEP PATRIOT AND THE DEALER AGREED TO TRADE THE VEHICLE BACK AND I WAS STUCK WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL WHICH NOW IS EXHIBITING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY MAY REACH A SIMILAR POINT AND I NOW NEED MY VEHICLE FOR HIGHWAY TRAVEL ON A REGULAR BASIS. I OBTAINED THE 2012 JEEP PATRIOT IN AUGUST OF 2016 AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY ISSUES UNTIL FEBRUARY 2018 AND NOW IT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS ON MY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK.

AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE CAR SHUTS OFF. I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND HAVE NO POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 2 MPH TO 70 MPH. ONCE HAPPENED WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AND ON SECONDARY ROADS. AT FIRST I COULD JUST PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN. IT WOULD START RIGHT UP. THE LAST FEW TIMES, I HAD TO WAIT FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT WOULD START. ONE INSTANCE I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD DUE TO BEING ON A HILL AND NOT DRIVING VERY FAST. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND A CAR ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND. VERY SCARY! I HAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP NOW WITH NO LUCK SO FAR AS TO THE PROBLEM.

MY CAR RECENTLY DEVELOPED ISSUES WITH A FAULTY FUEL TANK VALVE. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PUMP GASOLINE. THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2012 JEEP PATRIOTS FOR THIS ISSUE (M11). HOWEVER, MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

THIS VEHICLE IS A MANUEL TRANSMISSION 2012 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY 2017 FROM CARMAX WITH A LITTLE LESS THAN 37,000 MILES ON IT. IN LATE DECEMBER 2017 / EARLY JANUARY 2018 I BEGAN TO HEAR/FEEL A 'WHIRRING' SOUND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS ENGAGED, THE SOUND CEASED WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS DEPRESSED. I TOOK IN FOR REPAIR WITH THE CLUTCH BEING REPLACED. THE ISSUE WAS NOT CORRECTED, THE CLUTCH NOT BEING THE ISSUE. WITH A NEW CLUTCH THE PROBLEM WAS THEN DETERMINED AS A INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED BY LOCAL DEALER FRED FREDERICK CHRYSLER. THE CONCLUSION WAS A FAILURE/ISSUE OCCURRING IN THE FRONT TRANSMISSION BEARING AREA. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS JEEP LESS THAN 18,000 MILES; IT HAS LESS THAN 55,000 MILES ON IT! TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT THIS POINT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2012 JEEP PATRIOT'S. AS OF JANUARY 2018 THERE ARE 196 COMPLAINTS WITH MORE THAN HALF, 104, DEALING WITH ENGINE OR POWER TRAIN PROBLEMS, ON JUST THE NHTSA WEBSITE ALONE. FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED WITH AS LITTLE AS 20,000, 26,000, OR 30,000 MILES. MANY ALSO OCCURRING IN THE MILEAGE AREA OF MY VEHICLE (54,500) WITH FAILURES AT 47,000, 50,000. THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS OR INVESTIGATIONS INTO THIS PROBLEM. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH JEEP / CHRYSLER. I WAS TOLD BY MY CASE MANAGER, 'THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO (OR WILL DO) TO HELP YOU'. HE WENT ON TO SAY; 'IT'S A BUSINESS DECISION (BY JEEP / CHRYSLER)' THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP / CHRYSLER, CORRECTED, AND JEEP OWNE

THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND MOTOR TURNED OFF. IT IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH GASOLINE. IT MUST BE DONE EXTREMELY SLOWLY OR GASOLINE COMES BURSTING OUT EVERYWHERE. THE LOCAL DEALER ATTRIBUTES IT TO A CHECK VALVE WHICH IS INSIDE THE GAS TANK AND WHEN BROKEN WILL NOT ALLOW AIR INTO THE TANK WHEN FILLING WITH GAS. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES, AND QUITE DANGEROUS. IT IS ALSO COMMON FOR VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM TO STALL WHEN IN MOTION, ANOTHER VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

JEEP STALLS RANDOMLY, HAS HAPPENED WHILE STOPPED, AND WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. ON ANOTHER OCCASION VEHICLE LOST POWER DRIVING, AS IF IT WERE GOING TO STALL, BUT AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE REGAINED POWER

CAR GRADUALLY STOPPED TAKING GAS. IT WOULD CLICK OFF AND NOT ALLOW ADDITIONAL GAS TO BE PUT IN. INITIALLY THIS WAS AT HALF A TANK, THEN A QUARTER, THEN BEFORE I COULD EVEN GET THE GAS LIGHT OFF. THE CAR WAS EVALUATED BY THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS, ALL WHO CONFIRMED IT WAS A GAS TANK ISSUE IDENTICAL TO RECALL M11. THIS ISSUE ALSO EFFECTS THE SAFETY FUNCTION WHICH KEEPS THE TANK FROM CATCHING ON FIRE IN THE EVENT OF A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT. WE CONTACTED JEEP MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT WERE TOLD THAT THIS RECALL INCLUDES CARS MANUFACTURED AS LATE AS JANUARY 2012 BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY CAR WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED IN FEBRUARY 2012. JEEP REFUSED TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE FURTHER BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL - SAID VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON THE RECALL LIST FOR 24 MONTHS, DEALER INDICATES ONGOING ISSUES FROM MANUFACTURER IN OBTAINING PARTS TO REPAIR RECALL.

I HAD A 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP. WHILE PUMPING, THE GAS PUMP KEPT SHUTTING OFF. I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE GAS PUMP SO I WENT TO ANOTHER PUMP AND THE SAME THING CONTINUED TO HAPPENED (I ONLY GOT A FEW GALLONS). LATER THAT DAY, I WENT TO THE GAS STATION AGAIN AND THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING, THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF. I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY FILL THE TANK AFTER REPEATED SHUT OFFS, PUMPING AND SHUTS OFF AGAIN. IN 2014, I HAD THE REPAIR DONE (RECALL FOR THE FUEL TANK TRANSFER TUBE) HOWEVER THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I AM EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH MY GAS TANK. I DID SOME RESEARCHING AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE GAS TANK VENT SYSTEM IS NOT VENTING QUICK ENOUGH CAUSING THE GAS IS BACKING UP. I WILL BE CALLING MY DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS. MY REAL QUESTION IS WAS THE RECALL REPAIR "FAULTY"?

VEHICLE FREQUENTLY HESITATES AND/OR OCCASIONALLY STALLS AT BOTH LOW & HIGH SPEEDS. MOST OFTEN OCCURS ON INCLINES. TOOK IN FOR REPAIR MORE THAN TWICE AND STILL OCCURS. THE TECHNICIAN WITNESSED IT BUT COULD NOT PRODUCE A VEHICLE ANALYSIS CONFORMATION AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED LAST CHRISTMAS EVE WHEN VEHICLE STALLED AFTER ACCELERATING FROM AN IDLE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE VEHICLE HALTED IN TRAFFIC AND WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. ALSO, STALLED ON THE UP-SLOPE OF A HIGH BRIDGE TRAFFIC ON THE GS PARKWAY (NJ) AT HWY SPEEDS. AFTER NUMEROUS FAILED START ATTEMPTS IT FINALLY RESTARTED A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER. THE CAR HAS ALSO DECELERATED OR HESITATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS WITHOUT AN INCLINE. ALSO, VEHICLE MAKES GRINDING NOICE WHEN TURNING DURING ACCELERATION; MOSTLY ON RIGHT. MULTIPLE LIGHTS (HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE, SIGNAL AND PARKING LIGHTS) HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM.

TOOK MY JEEP IN FOR THE RECALL TWICE AND LEFT IT FOR 4 HOURS EACH TIME. SAME STORY EACH TIME " WE DON'T HAVE THE PARTS" FREMONT MOTORS IN CASPER WY. ONLY DEALER IN TOWN

MY CAR IS NOT SHOWING UP ON THE RECALL DATABASE. SO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WILL NOT DO THE REPAIR W/ OUT COST. MY VIN NEEDS TO BE ADDED. OVER 20,000 MODEL YEAR 2012 JEEP PATRIOT AND COMPASS VEHICLES ARE RECALLED BECAUSE OF FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER SAYS THE TRANSFER TUBE MIGHT NOT WORK CORRECTLY BECAUSE THE TUBE WAS INCORRECTLY MANUFACTURED. YOUR ENGINE COULD STALL BECAUSE THE FUEL FROM THE SECONDARY SIDE WOULDN'T MAKE IT TO THE PRIMARY SIDE OF THE TANK. THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WERE MANUFACTURED OCTOBER 18, 2011, THROUGH MAY 7, 2012. ( MY CAR WAS BUILD 2/3/2012) AND IS A 4X4 REFER TO RECALL NUMBER N17. I HAD THIS ISSUE NUMEROUS TIMES.

TRANSMISSION STARTS MAKING WHINNING NOISE, TRANSMISSION STARTS TO SLIP, THEN THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH, IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED IN TOWN. THE DEALERSHIP CAN SEE THAT THE FAULT IS DISPLAYED, YET THEY CANNOT SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATOR KEPT RANDOMLY ILLUMINATING AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO WAIT A BRIEF MOMENT AND PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER FOR IT TO COOL DOWN TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (BILL DODGE, 118 PLEASANT ST, BRUNSWICK, ME 04011, (207) 721-8300) FROM WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED PROVIDED NO OWNER'S MANUAL AND REPLACED THE CVT TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, THE WARNING INDICATOR KEPT FLASHING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. IN ADDITION, THE DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE AN OWNER'S MANUAL; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT HAD TO RESEARCH A SOLUTION AND OBTAIN INFORMATION ON HIS OWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, OPENED A CASE, AND THEN CLOSED THE CASE WITH NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN REPLACING THE SAME PART. THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATOR COULD ILLUMINATE AT ANY TIME. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND WAS SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION FOR THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT DESIGNED TO DRIVE SUCH A HEAVY CAR. AS A RESULT THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING AT 35,000 MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT PULLING INTO OR CROSSING TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS WHEN POWER CAN'T BE TRANSFERRED PREDICTABLY TO THE WHEELS. I'M NOT SURE OF THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER, DOING CURSORY SEARCH WILL FIND MANY INSTANCES OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS SLIPPING, OVERHEATING AND FAILING WELL WITHIN THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE OIL (100,000 MILES). THERE ARE PROBABLY MANY OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCTS THAT HAVE THIS SMALL CAR TRANSMISSION PLACED IN AN SUV AND NOT SUITABLE FOR WEIGHT AND VEHICLE LOAD. ALTHOUGH NO ACCIDENT HAS HAPPEN AS A RESULT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CLOSE CALLS, AND I'M SURE THAT THERE ARE OTHERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS ISSUE

I HAVE HAD MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT FOR OVER A YEAR AND JUST RECENTLY, IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS, THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHILE I AM DRIVING OR IDLING AT A LIGHT/STOP SIGN. THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS RANGING FROM 25 MPH TO 60 MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED ON RESIDENTIAL ROADS AND ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY, EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER PRETTY QUICKLY. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAPPENING, I WOULD TURN IT OFF AND BE ABLE TO START IT RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY LATELY. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 2 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. IT'S VERY RANDOM. SOMETIMES DAYS GO BY BEFORE IT HAPPENS AND THEN SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE DAY. IT NEVER HAPPENS WHEN I AM TURNING. ONLY WHEN I AM DRIVING. NEVER IN REVERSE. WHEN IT STALLS, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. THE LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC STAY ON. ONCE IT STALLS AND I TURN THE JEEP COMPLETELY OFF, IT IS TAKING LONGER AND LONGER FOR IT TO START BACK UP AGAIN. ONCE IT STALLS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT IS OFF IN THE MORNING AFTER I PARK MY JEEP OVERNIGHT AND SOMETIMES THE LIGHT IS STILL ON IN THE MORNING WHEN I GET UP TO DRIVE MY JEEP.

CVT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AND ACCELERATION COMPUTER NEEDS ADJUSTED BECAUSE ITS SPORATIC. IT OVERHEATS ON HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATES FUNNY IN TOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

LOCATED ON 31 HADLEY RD, GREENVILLE, PA 16125 WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WERE NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. (VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE).

AFTER PUMPING GAS, LESS THAN A MILE INTO MY TRIP HOME, MY JEEP'S STARTED STALLING, THE POWER STEERING WENT OFF (I COULDN'T EASILY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL) AND IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION, THEN BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO STARTED IT. I ONLY MOVED ABOUT 500 FEET AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TURNED IT OFF, BACK ON AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED A THIRD TIME, AS I WAS GETTING HOME. I SAT ON MY PARKING SPOT AND THE JEEP WAS STALLING BUT IT DIDN'T DIE AGAIN. I LOOKED UP JEEP FORUMS AND IT SEEM TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND PEOPLE RESOLVE IT BY NOT FILLING THE TANK ALL THE WAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND IT COULD'VE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN I-70 AT 77 MPH THE TEMPERATURE LIGHT COME ON, COASTED TO THE SHOULDER AS I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. ONCE PULLED OVER I TURNED OFF MY JEEP AND WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES, STARTED IT BACK UP, NO LIGHT, PERFORMED AS IT SHOULD. ON THE WAY BACK FROM MY TRIP THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY PERFORMED A DOWNLOAD AND SAID 'NO FAULTS ARE STORED IN THE SYSTEM'.
