2016 Jeep Patriot complaints

CAR SHUTS OFF AND LOSES POWER AT VARIOUS SPEEDS 1-65 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN IT LOSES POWER THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND YOU BETTER PULL OVER FAST OR YOU WONT BE ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU CAN GET IT TO START BACK UP. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE TO START BACK UP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME FOR 5 MONTHS NOW'. I'VE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG... I NEVER GOT NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS AND THEY DIDNT EVEN INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP PATRIOT THE TWO TIMES I'VE HAD IT IN. I AM NOW HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WILL NOT DRIVE MORE THAN A FEW FEET WITH CONSTANT SHUT DOWN. IT IS DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, UP HILL, DOWN HILL, FLAT, ETC.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THIS OCCURED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD. RESTARTED AND AS DRIVING HOME, VEHICLE TRIES TO ACCELARATE ITSELF WHILE CAR IS IDLING. HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE, IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN OFF. TOOK IN FOR REPAIRS AND DEALER STATES THAT THROTTLE BODY IS BAD AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES. ADVISED THAT IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS VEHICLE CAN LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GREENWOOD AUTO (659 S HIGH ST, CORTLAND, OH 44410, (330) 637-1055) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK SENSOR WIRING HARNESS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,280..*BF CONSUMER STATED ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE 1ST TIME CONSUMER WAS DRIVING 10MPH IN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE SHUTTING. CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES. ONE WEEK LATER, WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH CONSUMER PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR SLIGHTLY AND IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. CONSUMER MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND WAS STRANDED FOR 20 MINUTES ON THE ROAD. CONSUMER TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT IS THE EXACT PART THAT HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL FOR OTHER JEEP PATRIOTS. WHEN THE CONSUMER CALLED THE MANUFACTURER FOR HER VEHICLE, SHE WAS TOLD HER VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT SHUTS OFF. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND CAME BACK ON. DROVE 2 TIMES (ONE TIME ON A HIGHWAY, NEXT ON A COUNTRY ROAD) LESS THAN 20 MINUTES WHEN IT TURNS OFF. TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR AND THEY ARE REPLACING A THROTTLE BODY SENSOR THAT IS NOT WORKING AFTER 46,000 PLUS MILES.

A VERY STRONG EXHAUST SMELL LIKE GAS IN THE CAR FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.

THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS/ LAGS DURING ACCELERATION. MORE SPECIFICALLY DURING STOPS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IT WILL DO THE SAME IN AN UPWARDS OF 50 MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY SHUDDERING AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I AM UNSURE WHAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM, I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR BACK IN NOVEMBER 2018 WITH 42K MILES ON IT. I HAVEN'T EVEN PUT 10K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS ACTING STRANGELY. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THIS CAR IS THE ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL SENSOR KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING. IT KEEPS COMING LOOSE FROM THE SENSOR THAT CONNECTS TO THE TIRE AND UNFORTUNATELY MOST PEOPLE ARE TOLD THEIR ABS SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE. I THINK THE SHUDDER/LAG ISSUE SHOULD BE LISTED AS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AND A BROADER RANGE OF OTHER JEEPS BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE A STANDARD ISSUE WITH JEEP PATRIOTS 2016 MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER PLACED THE CONTACT ON A WAITING LIST, BUT THE CONTACT NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHEN INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS DELAYED DEPLOYMENT. THIS HAPPENED ON A DOWNTOWN STREET WITH SPEED OF 25 MPH. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION - SOMEONE FAILED TO YIELD RIGHT AWAY AND ACCIDENT COULDN'T BE AVOIDED.

I HAVE A CODE P0335 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT . ON MY CAR AND IT WAS A RECALL ON IT , BUT MY CAR'S VIN SAYS IT'S NOT ! IT WON'T CRANK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE ALSO FAILED TO START AFTER A JUMP START WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER DARCARS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF MARLOW HEIGHTS (5060 AUTH WAY, SUITLAND - SILVER HILL, MD 20746. 301-423-5111) WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT SHE WOULD BE CALLED BACK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,050. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS IT HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY HARD TO KEEP MY VEHICLE RUNNING/IN MOTION WHEN GOING UP STEEP HILLS OR GRADIENTS ON ALL ROADWAYS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. HE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN. SOMETIMES I CAN EASE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR OR RESTART AND THE WARNING LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND NOT COME BACK ON. NOW THE WARNING LIGHTS HAVE STARTED FLASHING. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING AS THOUGH ITS GOING TO QUIT RUNNING. I HAVE BEEN PULLING OFF THE ROAD, TURNING ON FLASHERS AND TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER A MINUTE I RESTART THE ENGINE AND HOPEFULLY MOVE ON DOWN THE ROAD. IT'S SO BAD NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE BUT IT'S THE ONLY TRANSPORT WE HAVE. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A CAMSHAFT SENSOR. L LOOKED THIS UP TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT IT. I FOUND A WEBSITE THAT SAID THERE WAS A CRANKSHAFT/CAMSHAFT RECALL ON THE MAKE, MODEL, AND AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM THE RECALLED VEHICLES WERE HAVING WAS THE SAME AS MINE. SO I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO DISCUSS THIS RECALL TO SEE IF THEY WOULD FIX MY VEHICLE. THEY RAN MY V.I.N. NUMBER AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON IT. THEY WANT ME TO BRING IT IN FOR A ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC SCAN. I ASKED THEM TO GIVE ME A GUESS AS TO HOW MUCH IT WILL COST ME. I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM YET. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE V.I.N. MAKES A DIFFERENCE SINCE MY VEHICLE IS THE SAME MAKE, MODEL ,AND YEAR AS ONES ON RECALL. I THINK THERE SHOUL

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A DEALER AND JUST THIS WEEK THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. IT HAS STALLED AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN MAJOR STREETS, INTERSTATES AND ROADS. I HAVE NO WARNING OF WHEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. IT'S ALMOST AS IF IT'S POWERING DOWN LIKE A COMPUTER, BUT WHILE I'M GOING IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH ON A BUSY STREET OR HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 5/7 DAYS THIS WEEK. THE MAJOR THING, MY CAR DIED WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT ON THE WAY HOME 10/27/18 AND I COULDN'T GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE CAR HAS CUT OFF BOTH WHILE I'M DRIVING AND WHEN I'M STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR INTERSECTION. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR A MONTH. *BF *JB *DT 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' UPDATED 12/11/18*JB

WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD MY CAR STOPPED WITHOUT INDICATION, I PRESSED ON THE PEDAL BUT IT WOULDN'T GO. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT RIGHT AWAY AND IT CAME BACK ON. THE NEXT TIME IT WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, EVERYTHING ON THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING BUT THE GAS PEDAL WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND IT JUST STOPPED. I TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. THE CAR MADE A LOUD STUTTERING NOISE LIKE IT WANTED TO START BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLICKERED OFF AND ON THE WHOLE TIME WHILE TRYING TO RESTART IT. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT BACK ON AFTER ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES OF TRYING TO RESTART IT. I FOUND A RECALL ON THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL BUT I CHECKED MY VIN AND IT SHOWS THAT THERE ISN'T A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN. THE RECALL WITH CHRYSLER IS S89.

DRIVER'S SIDE ACTIVE HEADREST SELF-DEPLOYED. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED OVER NIGHT IN GARAGE. PLASTIC RETAINER FRACTURED LEADING TO DEPLOYMENT.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY JEEP INSTANTLY TURNED OFF WITH NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG; NO INDICATION OF LIGHTS OR WARNING ISSUES PRESENTED JUST A LOSS OF COMPLETE POWER. BRAKES WERE HARD TO PUSH AND THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST AS WELL MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE THE CAR SLOWED DOWN FROM GOING 50 MPH. I WAS LUCKILY IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE WHEN IT HAPPENED MAKING IT EASIER TO PULL OFF TO SAFETY FOR MYSELF AND FOR EVERYONE ELSE BEHIND ME. ONCE STOPPED, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND ALL IT DID WAS MAKE A SPUTTERING LIKE NOISE, BUT NEVER TURNED ON. I WAITED 5 MINUTES AND TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND THE CAR TURNED ON THIS TIME, BUT ROUGHLY 30 SECONDS LATER IT JUST TURNED OFF AGAIN WITH NO WARNING. I FOUND A RECALL ON THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL, BUT WHEN ENTERING MY VIN IT SHOWS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR'S VIN. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE OPENED UP FOR OTHER VIN'S. THE RECALL WITH CHRYSLER IS S89. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!

ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 THE JEEP PATRIOT LISTED ABOVE STALLED WHILE DRIVING EAST ON I-70 WE WERE TOWED TO A MECHANIC IN GOODLAND, KANSAS. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE CAMSHAFT WAS BROKEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE ROLLED FORWARD. IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM CRASHING, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ALLEN SAMUELS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (201 WEST LOOP 340, WACO, TEXAS 76712, (254) 848-6200), BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT SENSORS AND WIRES WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (ROYAL GATE CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP, 15502 MANCHESTER ROAD, ELLISVILLE, MO) WERE NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

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.

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!

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

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.

THE GEAR SHIFT STAYS LOCKED IN PARK

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION FAILED TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SAFFORD CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM SRT FIAT OF SPRINGFIELD (7611 LOISDALE RD, SPRINGFIELD, VA 22150, (703) 866-1700), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD A WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SERVICED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE A PERMANENT REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CAR WAS PARKED AT HOME IN PARKING LOT. I USED CAR EARLIER DURING THE MORNING AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. DURING THE AFTERNOON I WENT OUTSIDE TO CRANK CAR AND IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS. I THEN REALIZED I FORGOT SOMETHING IN MY HOME AND TURNED CAR OFF TOOK KEY OUT THE IGNITION AND WENT TO RETRIEVE WHAT I HAD FORGOTTEN. I CAME BACK OUT NOT EVEN 30 SECONDS, ATTEMPTED TO CRANK CAR AND THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS, AC CAME ON, BUT CAR WOULD NOT CRANK. IT MADE NO NOISE TO INDICATE IT WAS TRYING TO TURN OVER NOTHING. AFTER TRYING A FEW TIMES I CALLED GEICO TO HAVE SOMEONE COME OUT TO POSSIBLY JUMP START THE CAR, BUT THAT PERSON TESTED THE BATTERY, OIL, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTED AND SAID NONE OF THEM WERE A PROBLEM. I THEN ORDERED A TOW TRUCK THRU GEICO, HE ARRIVED ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND HE IMMEDIATELY SAT IN VEHICLE AND CAR CRANKED WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE LIGHT ON DASH ALSO DISAPPEARED. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAVE IT CHECKED AGAIN AND I HAVE A PRINT OUT THAT SHOWS THAT NEITHER THE BATTERY, STARTER, ALTERNATOR OR ENGINE OIL WERE A FACTOR. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR CRANKING SINCE THAT DAY. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHY IT WOULD NOT START.

THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FAILED AT 49K MILES. BASICALLY THE COMPUTER DOESN'T WORK. THE VEHICLE WILL LOOS MOMENTUM AND DECELERATION HAPPENS OFTEN. THE WIPERS JUST COME ON BY THEMSELVES. CAR IS IN DRIVE WHEN DECELERATION HAPPENED.

I AM DRIVING THE JEEP IS ON THE HIGHWAY, DOING 60 MPH ONE WEEK AFTER I HAD BOUGHT THE JEEP IN MAY 2016 AND IT AUTOMATICALLY STARTED GOING FASTER ON IT'S OWN, WITH THE RPM INDICATOR GOING CLOCKWISE. IT WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN SO I HAD TO DRIVE TO THE ACCESS ROAD AND PUT EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN IT RESET ITSELF AND PERFORMED NORMALLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT, INCLUDING JULY 25, 2018 WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK. LAST YEAR I HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD A SENSOR LIGHT WAS OUT, SO THEY "FIXED" IT. IT IS STILL HAPPENING. THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS ARE CONSTANTLY FLASHING. THEY TOLD ME THEY RESET THEM ALSO. IT IS STILL OCCURRING, ALSO

TWO THINGS ARE WRONG WITH MY JEEP AND HAVE BEEN SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I'VE HAD IT, BUT THE NEWPORT POWER DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME THAT "IF THERE EVER WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, IT FIXED ITSELF". BS NOTHING IS FIXED! SO THE FIRST THING IS THE SAFETY SEATBELT SENSOR'S. WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER UP FRONT AND THEY'RE BUCKLED UP IT KEEPS BEEPING SAYING THAT THEY'RE NOT BUCKLED UP. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I HAVE A PASSENGER BUT IT'S SUPER ANNOYING AND HAPPENS MOSTLY WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. THE SECOND THING IS THAT SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I'VE HAD THE JEEP, THE ENGINE KEEPS STALLING AND OTHER TIMES ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO DIE BUT DOESN'T. ( NEWPORT POWER DEALER TOLD ME THIS ISSUE WAS DUE TO POOR GAS MIXTURES DURING DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE YEAR. I'M NOT STUPID AND KNOW THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE, I HAVE THREE OTHER CARS THAT DO NOT DO THIS AT ALL!) THE CAR STALLS SO FAR ONLY WHILE STOPPED AT LIGHTS, IN DRIVEWAY'S, DRIVE THROUGH ETC. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. WHILE DRIVING EITHER IN TOWN, TURNING CORNERS, DRIVING STRAIGHT OR ON THE HIGHWAY, THE JEEP ACTS AS IF IT'S GOING TO DIE. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING. ALSO MY BACK WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN LEAKING SINCE I GOT THE CAR BUT THE POWER DELER SAYS IT'S FINE. I'M VERY TIRED OF HEARING BS FROM THE POWER DEALER HERE IN NEWPORT OREGON, I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I THINK THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO HONOR IT! THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2016 TO TODAY IN 2018.

WHILE AT A FULL STOP AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO 40 MPH. A RED LIGHTNING BOLT LIT UP ON THE DASH. THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN. WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STILL RANDOMLY ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE UNDER ALL AND ANY DRIVING CONDITIONS. SO FAR THE ACCELERATION SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH NO AVAIL. CURRENTLY TRYING ANOTHER SERVICE GROUP TO ISOLATE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THERE IS NO PREDICTABLE PATTERN TO THE RANDOM ACCELERATIONS. THE DATE NOTED IS THE LAST OCCURANCE. WE'VE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED SINCE JULY 18, 2018.

TAMARA RECALL - I PURCHASED MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT IN MARCH OF 2018 AND AFTER THE PURCHASE I NOTICED THAT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE ANY PICK AND GO AND ALSO AT TIME IT FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO JUST STOP WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BUT WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS CARM

ON MONDAY 07/09/2018, WHILE STOPPED ON A CITY STREET WAS REAR-ENDED BY A TRUCK WHICH DIDN'T STOP GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 -50 MPH. IT SMASHED MY CAR INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT WHICH WAS A CAR LENGTH AWAY. THE SEAT BROKE BACKWARDS, THE CENTER CONSOLE BETWEEN THE SEATS FLEW OFF, AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED, KNEES WENT FORWARD INTO THE DASH.

I BELIEVE THE CLOCKSPRING IS FAULTY. AIR BAG LIGHT ON, HORN NOT WORKING AND THE STEP/RESET BUTTON ON STEERING WHEEL STOPPED WORKING. SCARED THE AIR BAG WONT DEPLOY IF IN A ACCIDENT.

MY INGINATION WHERE THE KEY GOES IN WHEN TURNING OFF VEHICLE DOES NOT LOCK- WHEN YOU GET BACK INTO CAR - YOU PUT KEY INTO INGINATION- THE CAR STARTS THAN DIES AND YOU HAVE TO START IT AGAIN IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS NOW - I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD ANOTHER 2016 JEEP PATRIOT WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO EXCEED 40 MPH. THE DEALER (HERTRICH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF ELKTON, 1147 E PULASKI HWY, ELKTON, MD 21921) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,156.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE KEY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD START. THE LOCAL DEALER (KOONS TYSONS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 2050 CHAIN BRIDGE RD, VIENNA VA) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V9070000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) ALTHOUGH THE FAILURES WERE IDENTICAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,100.

AIR BAG ALARM AND LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF.

THE SYSTEM THAT MONITORS WHETHER A PASSENGER IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT MALFUNCTIONS AND CAUSES THE SEATBELT TO SHOW UNBUCKLED THEREFORE TURNING THE AIRBAG OFF IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS SPECIFIC PIECE OF EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON SIMILAR VEHICLES IN THE SAME YEAR BUT MY VIN WAS NOT SELECTED AND MY DEALERSHIP WANTED ME TO PAY IN ORDER TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY RISK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (NAPLETON'S RIVER OAKS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 17225 TORRENCE AVE, LANSING IL 60438) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTROL ASSEMBLY PANEL, CONTROL SENSOR, AND SENSOR LIGHT FAILED AND REPROGRAMMING WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. *TT

I WAS ADDING GAS TO THE JEEP AND THE GAS SPEWED OUT BECAUSE THE CUTOFF DID NOT WORK; IT IS NOT THE GAS STATION'S PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE USED THE PUMP FOR MY CAR AND IT CUTS OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. MY SON HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AT ANOTHER GAS STATION WHERE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE JEEP IN THAT IT DOESN'T CUT OFF THE GAS WHEN FULL. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY OR I AM GOING TO START A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS COVERED IN GAS.

WARNING LIGHT KEPT COMING ON FOR "LOW TIRE" WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE. HAD THIS CHECKED REPEATEDLY AT DEALER, THE LOW TIRE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF THEN COME ON AGAIN LATER. THE DAY AFTER TAKINGTHE PATRIOT IN FOR THE LOW "TIRE LIGHT" THE ESC/ABS LIGHTS ALSO STARTED COMING ON. I HAVE JUST OVER 50,000 MILES SO THE WARRANTY IS OVER. I WAS TOLD THAT IN ADDITION TO THE $115 FOR DOING A DIAGNOSTIC TO SEE WHY THE LIGHTS WERE ON IT WOULD BE $350 EXTRA PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. I WAS UNABLE TO PAY FOR THIS AT THIS TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY TO DRIVE IT BUT THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON UNTIL REPLACED. ONLINE I SEE THAT THERE ARE OVER 18 OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME REASON. THE SENSOR GOT SOME TYPE OF MOISTURE AND WAS SHORTING OUT. MINE CONTINUES TO BE ON FOR 30 MINUTES THEN GO OUT, OR NOT COME ON AT ALL, OR NOT ON THEN COMES ON. EITHER THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH CONNECTION OR THIS IS JUST A BAD PRODUCT. WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME SCENARIO - I AM AFRAID THAT THERE IS A WATER LEAK OR THE SENSOR DOES NOT HAVE PROTECTION FROM WATER. EITHER WAY, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A HAZARD TO ANYONE DRIVING A JEEP PATRIOT. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SMOKE, FIRES, ETC. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER AND CORRECTED FREE OF CHARGE. I LOVED MY PATRIOT UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THIS WEEKEND, WHICH IS WHY I TRIED TO HAVE THE LIGHTS/SENSORS CHECKED OUT MONDAY. I LEAVE TOMORROW AND HOPE AND PRAY I DO NOT HAVE A FIRE/ACCIDENT TO REPOR

THE CV AXLES HAVE GONE BAD ON A CAR THAT IS BRAND NEW AFTER ONLY 2 YEARS I HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN DRIVING IT 2 YEARS AND I FEEL THAT IT CAN MESS UP MY STEERING AND AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE A WRECK DUE TO THE CLICKING AND POPPING AND VIBRATIONS BEING PUT OFF BY THE STEERING AND FROM TIRES EVEN GOING THIRTY AND NOT DURING A TURN

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND BARELY TOUCHED THE SHIFTER AND WHEN I TOUCH THE SHIFTER IT SLIPPED OVER INTO WHERE YOU SHIFT YOUR GEARS I FEEL LIKE IT'S A COULD CATCH THE CAR ON FIRE BECAUSE IT IS REVVED UP SO HIGH AND YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT BECAUSE YOU CANT HEAR IT UNLESS YOU YOU GOT RADIO OFF AND WINDOWS UP AND YOU CAN NEVER TELL I DEFINITELY THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE IT MORE SAFE WHEN FROM SOME KIND OF A LOCK ON THE SHIFTER FOR WHEN YOU WANT TO GO OVER INTO WHERE YOU SHIFT THE GEARS YOURSELF NOT TO MENTION HOW EXPENSIVE CARS ARE AND THAT YOU COULD VERY EASILY TEAR UP YOUR CAR BY IT BEING IN THE MANUAL SHIFTING AREA RATHER THAN THE AUTOMATIC SHIFT
