Five problems related to engine shut off without warning have been reported for the 2011 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Going down the road and the engine stalled. Gave no warning just shut off. I had my husband and 8 month old in the car. The engine did start back up.
We have been having a re-occurring issue where after filling the gas tank, the car will stall shortly after leaving the gas station. The latest incident happened on may 6, 2018 after filling the tank and letting the pump's auto-shutoff stop fueling. Leaving the gas station I pulled out into a high-speed 4 lane road and as I accelerated the engine shut down. As a result of the stall I immediately lost all power steering and power braking ability and was almost struck by cars behind me as we all expected me to be able to accelerate up to cruising speed. I was able to safely pull to the side of the road and re-start the engine. After this initial stall, the car ran normally. This has happened several times, with each engine stall occurring shortly after refueling. The immediate loss of power is a major safety issue and should be investigated immediately.
Was driving out of a parking lot Sunday afternoon. Car was running with no problems and suddenly engine completely shut off without warning. Electronics were still running. Tried to turn engine back on, engine attempted to crank but did not successfully turn on. Tried twice with no success. Waited 10 minutes and it turned on with no problem. Drove down a little further and it stalled again, with electronics still on. Managed to turn engine back on right away, but I was too worried to drive it. Towed it back home. Code p0335 was indicated when scanned. Researched online and discovered engines of 2011 Jeep Patriot tend to stall without warning.
I have a 2011 Jeep Patriot 4x4 with the 2. 4 liter and for the last month my wife and I are having trouble with the engine just shutting off and not wanting to start. Only had 2 times when the engine would just shut off while stopped(thank god)and have has numerous times when the engine just will not start. . Sometimes you have to mess with the gear shift but most times you have to turn the key really hard to start or just keep trying until it descides to start. My main concern is that it will just shut off while running down the interstate. I called chrystler and they said they had no recalls and I ask them to make not of my problem and they said they would. . The gentleman said they were no recalls for my Jeep.
I purchased my 2011 Jeep Patriot in March 2011 and one day it suddenly stalled while traveling 50-55 mph on the interstate. The car had been traveling on the road for only 5 minutes prior to the incident, with no stops or problems. I was meeting my husband for lunch and the car just stalled and I pulled over on the side. I was in shock because the were cars behind me and I immediately put my emergency lights on. I called my husband and told him what happened and he asked me did I hit a bump wrong that may have caused this issue and I said no. I immediately called my dealer and left a message. The service center called back and I gave them details. They told me to bring the car for a few days and allow them to drive it, but I wouldn't have a replacement vehicle. So they told me that if it gave me any other issues to give them a call. A few months later it did the same thing, again when I first took off leaving my home. At this point I was assuming it was something I was doing or hitting a bump wrong. So I called them and gave another notice to the dealer. Same day the windows started to go down by themselves. Again, I thought I touched the switch wrong and cause the window to roll all the way down but it not only did it to my window the passenger window did the same. So during the first oil change at the dealership, I told them to check everything out because the vehicle was doing weird stuff. Never saw any warning lights on the dashboard. No putting occurred when the car shut down. It's been over a year now and we have only dealt with the windows going down by themselves, but the car isn't turning off. . Thank god! my father in law brought the recall issue to our attention and wanted us to contact the dealer because we have two young kids. We travel alot and would like this matter taken care of before we decide to travel for the holidays.
