2016 Jeep Patriot complaints

' TAKATA RECALL' WHILE DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET , MY ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I GOT SEVERAL LIGHTS ON MY DASH . AFTER PUTTING IN PARK THE VEHICLE RESTARTED , BUT I HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD SON AND I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND NOT KNOWING IF MY VEHICLE IS GOING TO STOP SUDDENLY IN TRAFFIC .

VEHICLE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHTS COMES ON WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION WHICH WILL THEN SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT YOU CAN NO LONGER CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THAT LIGHT COMES ONE THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON AS WELL. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY CAR WILL LOSE ACCELERATION WHICH AGAIN YOU CAN'T PULL OVER IT WILL JUST STOP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE DEATH. I HAVE READ SO MANY MORE OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.

JEEP STALLS WHEN DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED 6X IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS. TWICE THE ENGINE SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD. IT JUST SHUT OFF. IT WILL START AFTER SAY 5 OR 8 MINUTES AND ITS SCARY ESPECIALLY DRIVING ON 460E FROM NORFOLK TO RICHMOND 3X A WEEK FOR WORK. WILL SEND IT TO THE JEEP DEALER SHOP ON 9/10/19. I PURCHASED IT NEW. IT HAS 29000 MILES ON IT.

I DROVE 30 MINUTES TO WORK. STOPPED FOR 10 MINUTES TO GET BREAKFAST. AND AS I WAS PARKING MY CAR, 2016 JEEP PATRIOT, IT BEGAN TO SMOKE. NO LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED IT OFF AND GOT OUT. THEN THE CAR JUST CAUGHT A FIRE. A REGULARLY MAINTENANCE JEEP PATRIOT JUST CAUGHT FIRE AND IS DESTROYED.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT WHEN IT STARED MAKING A NOISE AND SHUTTER THEN LOST POWER AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR STEERING LOCKED UP WHEN TRYING TO STEER CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD. THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON RIGHT BEFORE IT STALLED AND LOST POWER.

WHEN I PUT MY SEATBELT ON IT COMES UNDONE WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT SEEMS LIKE IT DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT DO THIS EVERYTIME. I HAVE TO PULL MY SEATBELT TO TEST AND MAKE SURE IT HAS LATCHED. IF I WAS EVER TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT, I WOULD BE WORRIED THAT IT WOULD NOT HOLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM OF WARWICK (185 NY-94, WARWICK, NY 10990, (845) 986-2021) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT OR CAMSHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

MY CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE STABILITY LIGHT GOES ON AND THE ENGINE DIES WHILE ON THE ROAD

THE CAR WILL DIE AT A COMPLETE STOP EITHER AT A RED LIGHT OR JUST IDLING. IT WILL ALSO ACT LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO DIE WILL DRIVING. THE RPM'S WILL DROP TO ZERO AND WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS IT WILL NOT GO. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE DAY.

MY VEHICLE HAD 39000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE STARTER WENT OUT. THE WARRANTY WENT OUT AT 36000. SO I TOOK IT INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND HAD IT REPAIRED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE PART.

TAKATA RECALL THE TCM ON MY JEEP PATRIOT SHORT-CIRCUITED OUT OF NOWHERE AND NOW IT CAUSES MY TRANSMISSION GEARS TO SLIP WHILE I'M DRIVING AND MAKES MY RPMS REV REALLY HIGH WOW MY ACCELERATION IS MINIMUM MEANING WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL AND PRESS THE RPMS JUMP REALLY HIGH AND MY CAR BARELY EVEN PICKS UP SPEED I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT SOMETHING WAS WRONG THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE RPMS REVVING REALLY REALLY HIGH WHILE MY CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN IT'S NEVER DONE IT BEFORE AND IT CAUSES TRAFFIC BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WILL RUN REAL SLOW AND TAKES ALMOST ME HAVING TO PUT MY PEDAL TO THE GROUND JUST SO I CAN SPEED UP ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THE WAY SO WHEN I GOT HOME I HOOKED UP AN OBD MONITOR TO MY CAR AND IT SAID LOST TCM COMMUNICATION NOW I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO BLOW UP THE ENGINE OR SOMETHING

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING UNEXPECTANTLY, WHILE DRIVING AND LEAVES NO RECOURSE OR CORRECTIONS FOR THE DRIVER TO BE MADE. POWER TO ALL OF THE VEHICLE SYSTEMS STAYED ON WHILST ALL THE CONTROLS OF THE VEHICLE WERE REMOVED FROM THE DRIVER. EVENTUALLY RESTARTED. BUT REFUSES TO START AFTER BEING STATIONARY AGAIN. WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET WHEN MY CAR JUST STALLED OUT ON A STRAIGHTAWAY. FINALLY RESTARTING AND MAKING IT HOME, AND NOW NOT STARTING AGAIN.

THE SEAT BELT IN MY JEEP DOES NOT REMAIN BUCKLED SOME TIMES I HAVE TO PUT IT THE RECEIVING PART SEVERAL TIME BEFORE IT CLICKS IN AND SOME TIMES I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT UNBUCKLES A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH BRINGS UP MULTIPLE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN IN ANOTHER JEEP PATRIOT AND THE DRIVER HAD TROUBLE GETTING IT TO BUCKLE SO I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED IT IN TWO DIFFERENT BUT SAME YEAR JEEP PATRIOTS

AT 50 MILES AN HR TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING RIGHT MAKING A WHINING SOUND I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM LAMPASS ON 35 GOING TO DALLAS I ONLY HAVE 60000 MILES

BOTH WHILE DRIVING, AND WHILE SITTING . VEHICLE EXPERIENCED MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DUE TO SLOW TIPM FAILURE. OVER THE COURSE OF SIX MONTHS. COUNTLESS HOURS AND LOTS OF MONEY ON DIAGNOSTICS. AND FIXING INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS FOR THE PROBLEMS THAT WERE HAPPENING. CAR WAS HESITATING, BUCKING, AND SPORADIC IDLE. ALSO RADIO AND BLUETOOTH CONNECTABILITY STARTED TO GLITCH. CERTAIN LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WERE HANDLED INDIVIDUALLY FOR THE COMPONENTS THAT NORMALLY MAKES THEM HAPPEN. ONLY TEMPORARILY FIXING THE PROBLEM. THE FINAL PROBLEM WAS THE COOLING FANS STAYING ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF. CHECKED ALL INVOLVED CIRCUITRY. EVERYTHING WAS FINE INCLUDING RELAYS. FINALLY SETTLED ON THE TIPM BEING BAD. JEEP THEN TRIED TO GOUGE ME ON THE PRICE. ULTIMATELY WANTING TO CHARGE ABOUT $1,600 FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND FIX. INCLUDING $700 JUST FOR THE PART. I LOCATED A NEW OEM PARTS THROUGH A THIRD PARTY FOR $250. AND A SIMPLE PLUG-AND-PLAY INSTALL, CORRECTED ALL PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP THEN TRIED TO SAY THE PART NEEDED TO BE PROGRAMMED. SO THEY COULD CHARGE $200 FOR A SERVICE THAT IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. IF YOU GET THE RIGHT TIPM FOR THE EXACT MODEL AND OPTIONS. A SOFT RESET CAN BE DONE BY SIMPLY USING THE IGNITION KEY. IT IS VERY POOR BUSINESS PRACTICE BY CHRYSLER CORPORATION. AND THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MANY UNSUSPECTING CUSTOMERS. OFTEN PAYING UPWARDS OF OVER $4,000 IN ONE YEAR FOR MISDIAGNOSED AND OVERPRICED SERVICES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND AN UNKNOWN DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE KEPT FLASHING. THERE WAS ALSO A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND RADIO SHORTED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER (ANCHORAGE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 2601 E 5TH AVE, ANCHORAGE, AK 99501, 1-(907) 276-1331) MORE THAN FIVE TIMES WHERE THE BATTERY AND OEM RADIO WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 45-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SEIZED AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND COOLANT TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHERE IT FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE CONTACT AND HER HUSBAND REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT. LARRY H. MILLER TOYOTA COLORADO SPRINGS (15 E MOTOR WAY, COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, (719) 623-4850) WAS CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,760. *BF CONSUMER STATED PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PAPER WORK FOR ALL CORRECTIONS, MECHANIC REPORT, AND DESCRIPTION OF EVENT.*JB

PURCHASED VEHICLE LESS THAN 6 MONTHES AGO AND COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER THAT IT SOUNDED AND FELT LIKE WHEELS WERE ABOUT TO FALL OFF. 8 DAYS LATER I TOOK IT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THE SHOP REFUSED. HE EXPLAINED THAT WHEN THEY LIFTED THE JEEP AND INSPECTED TIRES THE WIRE TREADS WERE EXPOSED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TIRE, AT ANY MOMENT THE VEHICLE COULD POSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGERS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED TIRE BUT DID NOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES CONTINUALLY MADE A SCREECHING SOUND , FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD OFTEN VEER LEFT WHEN TURNED RIGHT AND THE JEEP KEPT MAKING RUBBING AND POPPING SOUNDS LAST WEEK WHILE TRAVELLING LESS THAN 20 MILES AN HOUR THE CAR MADE A POPPING SOUND , I LOST CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL AND IT WAS VEERING TO RIGHT , RUNNING UP ON THE CURB AND THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN MOTION . . WHEN THE JEEP FINALLY STOPPED I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE STEERING WHEEL NOR PUSH IT OUT OF THE STREET. IT HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY. MECHANIC INSPECTED AND ADVISED OF NUMEROUS ISSUES: AXLE BENT, CONTROL ARM , DRIVE SHAFT, SUSPENSION TO MENTION A FEW. THE JEEP HAD 107000 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURED AND IS UNDER WARRANTY. MECHANIC IS REQUESTING WARRANTY APPROVAL TO FIX THE FAILED COMPONENTS AND DAMAGES INCURRED FROM THE FAILURE

MY ROOF IS LEAKING WHEN IT RAINS HARD UNDER THE DOME LIGHT INTO THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD AND IS GETTING INTO THE RADIO/NAVIGATION SYSTEM. ALSO IS LEAKING FROM THE ROOF ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD.

FRONT SEATBELTS WILL JUST UNBUCKLE AFTER YOU'VE BUCKLED. THE JEEP WONT ACCELERATE, IT WONT SHIFT UNTIL 3 1/2 GRAND, BETWEEN 0-40 MPH IT CHUGS & ALMOST DIES, ONCE ABOVE 40 ITS USUALLY FINE. THE DEALER SAYS THINGS ARE FINE. WHAT IS WRONG AND WHY WONT THESE ISSUES COME UP ON DIAGNOSTICS? THE TIRE LOW SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON - EVEN AFTER NEW TIRES & THEY RESET IT. NO WONDER THE WARRANTY LENGTH WAS LOWERED. BRAKES BECAME SQEAKY AROUND 6 MONTHS. ONE OWNER - ME UNFORTUNATELY.

THEY RANDOMLY UNBUCKLE! YOU THINK YOU'RE BUCKLED AND YOU MOVE OR ADJUST WHILE DRIVING THEN THEN BAM UNBUCKLED. YOU'RE GOING TO DIE IN A HEAD ON COLLISION.*DT *DT CONSUMER STATED DEFECTIVE SEATBELT WAS REPLACED. WHILE DRIVING AND SITTING VEHICLE EXPERIENCE MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DUE TO SLOW TIPM FAILURE, ENGINE STALLS ETC.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO YARK AUTO GROUP (6019 CENTRAL AVE, TOLEDO, OH 43615, (419) 877-7712) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OWNER'S MANUAL SUGGESTED TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AND RESTART IT AFTER 8 TO 15 SECONDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, THE MANUAL INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. IF THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR FLASHED, THE OWNER'S MANUAL SUGGESTED TO STOP DRIVING THE VEHICLE. CLOQUET FORD CHRYSLER CENTER (701 WASHINGTON AVE, CLOQUET, MN 55720, (218) 879-4668) WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

THE CAR WOULD HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING AND SLOW DOWN TO A VERY LOW SPEED BEFORE BUCKING AND THRUSTING UNTIL THE SPEED WOULD INCREASE. THE SLOWNESS WAS SLOW ENOUGH ON A HIGHWAY TO ALMOST CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT WAS PURCHASED ON JANUARY 29, 2016. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTHING MORE THEN A DEATH TRAP FOR ME AND A CASH COW FOR THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE HAD MAJOR LIFE OR DEATH PROBLEMS ALMOST WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING OUT AND SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN BUSY INTERSTATE OR OTHER ROADWAYS IN 2017. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO STALLING OUT AND SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY ON JUNE 29, 2019 AFTER I LEFT MY JOB. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CONSUMER PROTECTION DIVISION AND I EXPRESSED THE DANGERS AND THE GOVERNMENT HASN'T STOPPED IN TO INTERVENE AS OF TODAY. I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER MANUFACTURER OF THE PROBLEM IN 2017, WHEN MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 50,000 MILES. ONCE AGAIN THERE WASN'T ANYTHING DONE CONCERNING THIS SITUATION. I NOTIFIED THE NHTSA AND THIS ORGANIZATION HASN'T DONE ANYTHING BUT POST MY COMPLAINT ONLINE. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON THIS MATTER BUT CHRYSLER CLAIMED THAT MY VINTAGE NUMBER WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. ALTHOUGH MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT WAS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THE OTHER 2016 JEEP PATRIOT, THAT WAS STALLING OUT AND SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS DEATH TRAP OF A VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED WHEN I FIRST INITIALLY FILED THIS COMPLAINT. WELL I GUESS I'LL JUST WATCH AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO LOSE THEIR LIVES BEHIND THESE GARBAGE JEEP PATRIOTS BEFORE THEY RECALL THESE DEATH TRAPS. I WILL DEFINITELY LOOK INTO FILING A LAWSUIT

MY JEEP STALLS AND JUST CUT OFF. ONCE I WAS BACKING IN THE GARAGE AND IT JUST CUT OFF. ANOTHER TIME I J CAME OFF THE HIGHWAY SITTING AT A RED LIGHT GETTING READY TO TURN AND IT SHUT OFF.

11/27/18-BROKEN WIRE AT AT PCM / 05/16/19-HAD TO REPLACE FAULTY WIN MODULE /06/20/19-DEALER SUGGESTED REPLACE ENGINE HARNESS DUE TO CORROSION OPTED FOR REPAIR KIT .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT LEAST TWELVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT SWITCH FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,917.

THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THE ENGINE STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T ANY COMPUTER CODES. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK HOME AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. WE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND PAID FOR THEM TO DO THE WORK FOR THE S89 RECALL EVEN THOUGH OUR VIN ISN'T COVERED. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE RECALL JUST COVERS THE WIRE HARNESS AND NOT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR ITSELF. WE GOT THE JEEP BACK. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE THIRD TIME THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE AT APPROX.42,000 MILES IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY WHICH IS ONLY 36,000 MILES. WE GOT THE JEEP BACK. NOT FIXED. THE JEEP HAS STALLED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS AND ALSO UPON TURNING. WE HAVE ALSO STALLED GOING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND BARELY HAD TIME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. MOST OF THE TIME, THE ENGINE WILL RESTART RIGHT AWAY, BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES. THE JEEP IS BACK AT THE DEALER. WE HAD CALLED CHRYSLER AND GOTTEN A CASE MANAGER. WE GOT A CALL FROM HIM YESTERDAY THAT THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT. STILL HAD NOT FOUND THE PROBLEM. HE WAS GOING TO CHECK WITH THEM AGAIN TOMORROW. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION AND WE DON'T KNOW WHY THE PROBLEM ISN'T BEING FIXED.

THIS VEHICLE IS A LEMON IT ALMOST CAUSED A FATALITY IT BACKFIRED AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON IT'S BEEN PULLING AND OUT OF LINE SINCE DAY ONE BOUGHT NEW.....SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES AND NOW IN SHOP FOR ELECTRICAL SENSOR $1400

CAR CUTS OFF (ENGINE STALL) AFTER STARTING & DRIVING! FIRST IT WAS HARD TO START, THEN IT WOULD CUT OFF AFTER STARTING OR PUTTING INTO DRIVE, FINALLY IT CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET (HAD TO BE TOWED)! THANK GOD, I WASN'T ON A MAIN HIGHWAY! BEFORE THE COMPLETE SHUT DOWN, AUTO ZONE RAN A CHECK ON MY VEHICLE FOR ME, SHOWING BATTERY & ALTERNATOR WERE FINE, BUT FOUND THAT THE SENSOR (CRANKSHAFT OR CAMSHAFT) WAS THE PROBLEM, WITH CAR CUTTING OFF! NHTSA SHOWS THIS TO BE A PROBLEM (VEHICLE STALLING,) WITH THE 2016 JEEP PATRIOT, BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED. I SPOKE WITH MY DEALER, THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT NOT ON MY VIN#, & THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FROM THEM, TO PROVE THAT IS WHAT WRONG (CAN ACCEPT INFORMATION FROM AUTO ZONE)! I AM UNABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE, BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP PATRIOT BY THE DEALER & NHTSA, WHY ISN'T MY VIN# NOT ON THE LIST??

2016 PATRIOT WITH,54,000 MILES. NO MAJOR ISSUES PRIOR. 2 WEEKS AGO HOWEVER, I WAS LEFT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP, ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI AND SIDE SWIPING A CONSTRUCTION SIGN TO AVOID BEING HIT. WHEN ACCELERATING THE ETC SYMBOL (LIGHTENING BOLT) WILL DISPLAY, TRACTION CONTROL ICON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL DISPLAY. THE JEEP COMPLETELY STOPS ACCELERATING (HIGHWAY SPEED TO 0 MPH WITHIN SECONDS=DEADLY), IT WILL SHAKE BEFORE JUST DYING. IF I'M LUCKY I'LL MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER (IF IT HAPPENS TO HAVE ONE). THROUGH GOOGLE RESEARCH, I CAME ACROSS A WAY TO DO A "RESET" (TURN CAR OFF, INSERT KEY AND TURN "ON", PRESS GAS PEDAL SLOWLY, RELEASE SLOWLY, TURN CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART THE ENGINE). DOING THIS TYPICALLY CLEARS THE ICONS AND I'M ABLE TO TRAVEL AGAIN. THIS INTERMITTENTLY HAPPENS, SO YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE POTENTIALLY ABOUT TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT FROM STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY. WHEN DRIVING ON CITY/TOWN ROADS, IT HAS NOT COMPLETED STOPPED AS STATED ABOVE, BUT WILL "JUMP" WHEN SWITCHING GEARS, THEN THROW THE ETC SYMBOL. IF I LET OFF THE GAS, THE ICON GOES AWAY AND CAR RUNS NORMAL. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC 1 DAY AGO AND WAS TOLD TO GET A NEW BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS CHANGED 1 DAY AGO AND THE ISSUE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES TODAY. THROUGH ONLINE SEARCHES IT APPEARS THIS IS A TERRIBLY COMMON ISSUE THAT JEEP HAS YET TO ADDRESS! SOMEONE IS GOING TO END UP LOSING THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO WAY OF KNOW

WE HAVE A JEEP PATRIOT 2016 AND WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT FOR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH EFFECTS THE STARTER. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE JEEP STARTING AND TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT WAS UNDER RECALL. WE TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND THEY SCHEDULED IT TO BE FIXED. WE WERE THEN CALLED AND TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE MISSED THE RECALL DATE BY 2 MONTHS SO IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE RECALL AND IT WOULD COST TO HAVE THIS FIXED. IT IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED ON OTHER 2016 JEEPS AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. WE ARE NOW HAVING TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPAIR DONE WHEN VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE! THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED AND IT WOULD NOT START. WE ACTUALLY HAD IT HOOKED UP TO READ WHAT THE ISSUE WAS ALSO. IT IDENTIFIED AN ISSUE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THE SAME REPORTED RECALL ISSUE!

I WAS GOING UPHILL ON A RURAL ROAD WHEN MY CAR POWERED DOWN AND THE RPMS DROPPED DOWN TO 0. IT KICKED RIGHT BACK IN, IT HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME ON MY WAY HOME THROUGH THE CITY. WHEN I GOT INTO MY DRIVEWAY, BEFORE I COULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IT DROPPED RPMS AND POWERED DOWN. AFTER A HALF AN HOUR I WENT OUT TO HEAD TO A DR. APPT AND MY JEEP WOULDN'T START.

MY VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT'S STALLING OR THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT WHEN I MAKE TURNS.

230AM ON INTERSTATE 25, NO ROAD LIGHTING, NO TRAFFIC NEARBY. BY OURSELVES, FOUR OF US ON THE WAY TO THE AIRPORT. SET CRUISE CONTROL TO 75MPH. SECONDS LATER ALL LIGHTS INCLUDING DASHBOARD WENT OUT. IN TOTAL DARK NESS. GUESSED SIDE OF ROAD. MANAGED TO STOP CAR. TURNED OFF, BACK ON, ALL RESTORED. WE ACTUALLY GRAZED AN OVERPASS WHICH I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS. WE FOUR CAME NEAR DEATH. SCARED TO DRIVE CAR. JUST HAD "PATCH" WORK DONE AT NEARBY DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR ABS AND TRACTION LIGHTSS THAT WERE ON. PLEASE ADVISE.

TAKATA RECALL THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON THE HIGHWAY IN MOTION LOSING THE POWER.

I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON A BUSY FREEWAY, WHEN MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN 40 MILES AND STALLED. APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR LATER, AAA ARRIVES INSPECT MY VEHICLE AND THERE'S NOTHING APPARENTLY WRONG. MY CAR DRIVES LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I WILL BE TAKING IT INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. THIS HAPPENED IN MENLO PARK, CA OFF THE WILLOW EXIT. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE, AND MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO A CENTER DIVIDER.

WITH IN THIS MONTH OF MARCH MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT HAVE AT LEAST 8-9 ENGINE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE MY FAMILY AND I ARE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, STREET AND 2-3 UNEXPECTEDLY AT A STOP SIGN. YOU HAVE A RECALL/ ENGINE STALLS (16V907000).I TAKEN MY CAR TO MY JEEP DEALER ON 3/9/2019 TO MY SERVICE ADVISOR(JAMES BEISIEGEL , DIRECT#-904-493-8979 AND WE SPOKEN TO A CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE:1-800-992-1997. THEY BOTH AGREE THAT MY JEEP FALL UNDER THE RECALL 16V907000 SYMPTOMS. BUT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T FALL UNDER RECALL PERIMETERS.MY JEEP FALL ONE MONTH OUT OF THE PERIMETER OF THE RECALL. CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE AND MY SERVICE ADVISOR WANTED ME TO CALL NHTSA TO SEE CAN YOU UMBRELLA MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT UNDER RECALL / ENGINE STALLS (16V907000). I FEEL UNSAFE WHEN I DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THE JEEP IN NOV. 2017, I ONLY HAVE THE FOR 16 MONTHS.. I HAVE TO TAKE A CHANCE EVERYDAY. WHEN MY FAMILY AND I GET INTO THE VEHICLE.

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!

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