Four problems related to engine shut off without warning have been reported for the 2014 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The partriot randomly stalls while travelling at any speed. The engine shuts off and car has to coast to a stop. It is extremely dangerous and only a matter of time before someone is injured or killed. Multiple mechanics and the Jeep dealership have no clue as to how to fix the problem. Online research shows this is a major issue for many Jeep owners, not just Patriots. Jeep / Chrysler has a major issue and will not acknowledge or address it. If they refuse to do anything, they should be prepared to pay for their lack of addressing this critical issue. It takes less than a minute to search and see how many people are affected with engine stalling issues with Jeep automobiles. I hope the NHTSA will conduct a thorough review of these issues and force more attention to be given to the serious issue. I bought this car for my daughter and now we can't let her drive it because it is too dangerous. We have spent over $2k trying to address this issue. There are no recalls or other assistance that Jeep can or will offer.
While driving at a low speed or idling at a stop sign the vehicle will shut off without warning. When this happens I must put my car in park, shut the car completely off, then restart, sometimes this happens multiple times in one day. This has happened while on city street, highways, while turning and while stopped, it has become unsafe and unreliable to drive. I am still unaware of what the issue is and have replaced several components on the vehicle that I think could have been linked: battery, throttle body, spark plugs, cam sensors, runner valve, and the catalytic converter. None of these replacements has fixed this issue. There is a recall for this issue with Jeep (n52) and when I called to tell them my vehicle is having this issue they just told me they would make a note, and they could not authorize a recall on my vehicle. I asked them if I took it into the Jeep dealership to get a diagnostic and they found this to be the issue could they issue they recall then they told me no and it would have to come out of my own expenses.
My Jeep keeps stalling and shut off without any warning. The Jeep was being driven when this happens. And stopped.
My car has stalled completely over a dozen times while driving or even just from being parked and trying to move forward or backward. The first time I took it to the dealer was after I was driving on the freeway and the car completely shut off. I turned on my emergency lights and moved to the left shoulder. Thankfully other vehicles realized something was wrong and let me move out of the way. I could've hurt some one else or myself. I was parked for 5 minutes when I tried to start it again but the car was hesitant. I tried again and was able to get out of the freeway safely and it shut off again a few miles from there. I then had it towed to the dealer. They stated that there were no error codes and that the car was okay. Now again on oct 8th 2015 it did it again will driving on a city street. After letting it sit I was able to get home and after 20 minutes I drove it to the dealer and it stalled again down the street from the dealer. I had to get it towed in case there were error codes on the software. They've had my car for 4 days and they have already called that there are no error codes. They have had technicians try to duplicate the problem both times but no luck. I refuse to drive the car. I will not put my life or any one else in danger.
