2016 Jeep Patriot complaints

I HAVE A 2016 JEEP. IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE GOING UP HILLS, PICKING UP SPEEDS, RPMS WILL NOT SHIFT ACCURATELY. WE TOOK TO THE DEAL SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S A BAD TRANSMISSION ALL TOGETHER. *TR

VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND/OR STALLS WHILE DRIVING, EVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS. VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN STOPPED. I HAD TO LET CAR SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART. LOST ACCELERATION AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY AFTER TURNING A CORNER AND BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE. YOU PRESS ON THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THIS ALSO HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH. LUCKILY IT KICKED BACK IN. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR PATRIOT S89 FOR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, WHICH WAS THE EXACT PROBLEM ON MY PATRIOT. I INFORMED THE DEALER OF THIS RECALL WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. HE SAID IT WASN'T APPLICABLE TO MY VEHICLE AND WOULDN'T KEEP THE PAPERWORK I GAVE HIM FOR THE RECALL. THE DEALER, HOWEVER, TOLD ME IT WAS THE ABS SYSTEM AND CHARGED ME TO REPLACE IT AND THEN ENDED UP REPLACING THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AFTER THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENED ON THE TEST DRIVE AFTER REPLACING ABS. THE PATRIOT STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY. IF THE DEALER WOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME AND DONE THE TEST DRIVE FIRST, THEY WOULD HAVE DISCOVERED THE ISSUE RIGHT AWAY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. LUCKILY I DIDN'T GET HIT ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. GLENDALE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (900 S. BRAND BLVD, GLENDALE, CA 91204) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000.

THERE IS A LEAK SOMEWHERE THAT FLOODS WATER THROUGH THE MAP LIGHTS IN THE ROOF EVERY TIME IT RAINS. IT HAS SHORTED OUT THE ENTIRE RADIO SCREEN WHERE IT NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. TOOK INTO A DEALERSHIP TO TAKE A LOOK AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED 2 TIMES AND STILL CONTINUED TO LEAK. I HAVE FORUMS ONLINE THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE! I WILL PROCEED WITH FILING LEMON LAW IF THIS DOES NOT GET ADDRESSED. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH WHAT FEELS LIKE MY ENGINE IS STALLING AND ABOUT TO SEIZE AND MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE RISES. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO ISSUES WITH ANY HOSES, RADIATOR OR COOLANTS AS I'VE RECENTLY HAD AN OIL CHANGE. DESPITE WHEN EVER I TRAVEL ON THE HIGHWAY THIS ISSUE OCCURS. I TRAVEL THE NJ PARKWAY 5 DAYS A WEEK FOR WORK AND I FEAR THAT THE CAR WILL SHUTDOWN AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT HESITATES AND JERKS WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT GO OVER 40 MPH. WHEN I STOP THEN LET OFF THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE JUMPS FORWARD WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT RUNS SLUGGISH. THERE ARE THREE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LITE UP. THE ENGINE LIGHT, THE LIGHTNING BOLT AND THE TRACTION LIGHT. *TR

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH WHEN MY WIFE HAD A RED LIGHTING BOLT APPEAR ON THE DASH BOARD, AT WHICH TIME THE POWER DROPPED OFF. SHE HAD TO MOVE ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER. ONCE IT WAS ON THE SHOULDER, SHE CALLED ME IN A PANIC. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT HOW TO RESET THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY EXPERIENCE. I CALLED JEEP DEALERSHIP AND TO MY SURPRISE THEY WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE INTERNET WAS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO HAD THIS VERY ISSUE. I CALL THEIR CORPORATE SERVICE LINE AND THEY CONFIRMED NO SAFETY RECALL EXISTS. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT CONFIRM WHETHER THEY WOULD OR WOULD NOT SELF REPORT THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY VEHICLE ENGINE HAS COME A COUPLE OF TIMES AND BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH WAS A RECALL (S89) BUT HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR A RECALL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD INTO WORK AT NO MORE THAN 40/45 MPH. MY CAR WAS AT A SLIGHT INCLINE WHEN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, AND MY CAR POWERED DOWN TO A LOW LEVEL AND WOULDN'T INCREASE ITS SPEED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY, AND THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME BACK ON AGAIN. *TR

MY VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE. WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY IN ORDER TO KEEP UP AN ACCEPTABLE SPEED I HAVE TO KEEP THE GAS PEDAL COMPLETELY PRESSED DOWN. ALSO WHEN I LEAVE A STOP LIGHT/STOP SIGN THE JEEP HAS NO ACCELERATION POWER. *TR

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, AS DID THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS AND THE ACCELERATOR CUT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS 3 LANES TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND APPARENTLY MY 2016 PATRIOT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE INTERSTATE YESTERDAY AT ABOUT 60MPH, MY JEEP SUDDENLY LOSS POWER AND STARTED SHAKING. IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL. I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT MY FLASHERS ON AS TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHILE I TRIED TO PULL INTO THE EMERGENCY SHOULDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN RESTARTED IT TO DRIVE HOME.

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME WHETHER RUNNING OR STATIONARY, THE PROBLEM STARTED AFTER BATTERY CHANGE AT DEALERSHIP. DEALER SAYS THAT IT NEEDS NEW IPM INTEGRATED POWER MODULE $918 + TAX??

AS I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR, ON A TWO LANE ROAD, MY VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. IT WOULDN'T HARDLY PULL ITSELF. IT ALMOST STALLED OUT COMPLETELY. I HAD TO SHUT IT OFF AND IT RESET FOR A SHORT TIME. FORTUNATELY I HAD A PLACE TO PULL OUT OF THE WAY. I'M HAVING TROUBLE GIVING MY VEHICLE THROTTLE NOW. I BELIEVE THE THROTTLE BODY IS THE PART THAT IS THE ISSUE. I'VE READ THAT IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP PATRIOTS.

MY VEHICLE STALLS WHEN YOU PUSH THE GAS PEDAL,YOU HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT ,IT WILL ALSO COMPLETELY STALL GOING DOWN THE ROAD GOING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 20 TO 45 MILES PER HOUR

ACCELERATION HAS BEEN STALLING A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. OIL CHANGE HAS BEEN UP TO DATE AS WELL AS THE DIAGNOSTICS BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE STILL HAVEN?T FOUND THE CAUSE. WE DIDN?T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT UNTIL A FRIEND OF OURS TRANSMISSION JUST SHUT DOWN ON HERS AND SHE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH HER 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE STALLING COMES AND GOES BUT OFTEN STALLS WHEN ACCELERATING.

MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT IS JUST STALLING OUT EXACTLY THE WAY THE RECALL STATES EXCEPT BECAUSE HERS WAS BUILT IN NOVEMBER THEY ARE SAYING ITS NOT ON THE RECALL...SHE WILL BE DRIVING AND IT JUST STALLS AND HAS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER

EVERYTIME I PUSH THE PEDAL TO SPEED THE CAR STALL VERY BAD CAUSING TO SLOW OR ALMOST STOP . VERY DANGER SITUATION. ALWAYS HAPPEN WHEN GOING TO A HIGHWAY OR ANYWHERE I M TRYING TO INCREASE SPEED.

MY CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE LIKE IT SHOULD AND GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY OR TRYING TO SPEED UP ON HIGHWAY, THE CAR STALLS AND DOESN'T WANT TO GO. THE RPM DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE AND THE CAR JERKS A LOT. IT HAPPENING MORE EVERYDAY THAN BEFORE WHEN IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN EVER SO OFTEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND RESTARTED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. BIG 'O' DODGE LOCATED AT 2645 LAURENS RD, GREENVILLE, SC 29607, WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING WITH THE CRUSE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT CALLED STEPHEN WADE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT DEALER, (1724 HILTON DR, ST. GEORGE, UT 84770) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

VEHICLE CONSTANTLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. EVEN HAPPENS WHEN I'M DRIVING ON INTERSTE AND SPEEDS OF 70 MPH. VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STARTS BACK UP BUT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. HAD THE CODES RAN AND CAME BACK WITH AN ISSUE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR.

CODE P0777 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID B STUCK ON CAR IS NOT GOING INTO GEARS NOW. FIRST, IT WOULD ONLY GO INTO REVERSE. BUT, NOTHING NOW.

AUTOMATIC JEEP, HAS DIFFICULTY SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN GOING A SLOWER SPEED (I.E. TURNING A CORNER, IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH STOP-AND-GO SPEEDS), BUT DOES DO IT AT HIGHER SPEEDS (EX. 60 MPH TO 70 MPH). IT DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE ISSUES WHEN DOWN SHIFTING. THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY NOTICEABLE LURCH/SHUTTER WHEN IT IS ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR AND WILL DO IT REPEATEDLY IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN A WHILE BEFORE IT WILL OCCUR, I DRIVE IT ABOUT 20 MILES BEFORE IT STARTS EXHIBITING THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS MOST FRIGHTENING IN CITY/RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THE VEHICLE MIGHT STOP RUNNING ALL TOGETHER. THE VEHICLE ALSO SEEMS TO STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT UP HILLS, AS IF IT DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE THE CLIMB OF EVEN A SMALL HILL. THE RPM GAUGE REALLY JUMPS UP HIGH TO ABOUT 5-6 WHEN CLIMBING A SMALL HILL OR ACCELERATING 5-10 MPH TO PASS SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ISSUE STARTED BEFORE THE VEHICLE HAD REACHED 60,000 MILES. FILTERS AND OIL HAVE BEEN CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE GAS SEVERAL TIMES, NONE OF THESE MEASURES HAVE CHANGED THE PERFORMANCE ISSUE OF THE VEHICLE.

BOUGHT JEEP IN 2018 SINCE THEN IT HAS HAD INTERMITTENT CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES IT WORKS SOMETIMES IT DONT. SOMETIMES IT WORKS THEN QUITS WORKING. DRIVERS SEAT BELT WILL BE BUCKLED AND COME UNBUCKLED HAVE TO REBUCKLE INTERMITTENTLY. BURNING SMELL INTERMITTENTLY DONT KNOW IF ITS OIL, COOLANT OR WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED BY JEEP WHO SAID IT WAS LEAKY COOLANT STILL OCCURS. ALL OF THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE ON THE ROAD.

TRIED TAKING MY SIBLINGS TO SCHOOL AND OUT OF NO WHERE IT WOULDN'T START I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS SINCE I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE AND I TOOK IT TO SEVERAL PLACES AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM THEN FINALLY SOMEONE FIGURED IT OUT SAYING IT'S THE COMPUTER MODULE

MY CAR JUST STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH!!. IT JUST DIED. LUCKILY 3 STRANGERS PUSHED ME TO SAFETY. IT STARTED WORKING SOON AFTERWARD ONLY TO GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AGAIN. IT WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKPOSTITION SENSOR IS BAD. IT IS RECALLED ON OTHER 2016 JEEP PATRIOTS BUT NOT COVERED ON THIS ONE. IT WAS MANUFACTURED BEFORE THE RECALL. I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER INCLUDING THIS CAR UNDER THE RECALL. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE ABRUPT STOPPING OF THIS VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT SHE WAS NOT INJURED BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH WORSE. WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND AM UPSET TO KNOW THAT THIS FAULTY SENSOR CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PREVENT POSSIBLE INJURY TO OTHERS.
