general problems of the 2015 Jeep Patriot - part 2

The crankshaft sensor failed causing the engine to stop while driving without warning on a city street in boston. The car was brought to the nearest garage where they replaced the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor, but then an engine code came up saying that the accelerator pedal also needed to be replaced. I am unsure if this was related to the crankshaft sensor issue or just a coincidence. The car then had to be towed to a Jeep dealer to replace the accelerator pedal and relearn the sensors. I noticed there was a recall on 2016 Jeep Patriots for the same crankshaft problem but no recall has been issued for the same problem occurring in 2015 Jeep Patriots. The engine died without warning and it is fortunate that this happened at ~20mph, it would have been disastrous at highway speeds.

I've had my Jeep for one year when one day a red lightening bolt and an engine light appeared on my dashboard. No acceleration or power. I had to keep cutting my car on and off in order to make it home. I had to take it to the shop the next day where I had to pay lots of money to replace the throttle body unit. 2 years later even after replacing my engine (due to an accident) the same light has appeared again. Jeep we need answers? sounds like a pretty common problem.

While on the highway, electronic throttle sensor light comes on. Vehicle starts jerking, slowing, and dies. Causing you to lose steering and adequate brakes.

On several occasions, while driving, the vehicle would suddenly fail to accelerate properly and shut off. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the throttle converter was faulty. The throttle converter was replaced, but the failures continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 65,000.

The catalytic converter needs to be replaced. The is a problem identified under a recall for my vehicles make and model but not my VIN.

I was driving on a freeway (about 60 miles per hour) and all of a sudden my car 's lights on the dashboard came on (engine, electronic stability, lightening bolt) the power seemed to be draining from my vehicle, I could not longer accelerate. I almost got hit in the back, luckily there was an exit that was close so the car behind me was able to take a forced exit to avoid from hitting me. Unable to determine what happened, I turned on my hazards and pull over on the shoulder and turned my car off. I waited for about 10 minutes and hesitantly decided to try to restart the car. I was able to restart it, only to go about 2 miles and it happen again. I exited the freeway and took back streets all the way home to keep me from getting into a wreck. This continued to happen about 4 times until I made it home and park it. This car has been a headache ever since I bought it brand new. One month after I bought it, the gas tank sunk and pretty much fell into the car so deep that I could no longer get the pump to the tank to fill gas. About a week after that, the wheels started squealing, and this was unable to be fixed. The bolts that are used under the hood do not fit the car so things would constantly loosen as I drove it and eventually are repositioned even though they are replaced by the service departments at the Jeep dealerships. There's substance much like adhesive glue throughout the car on certain parts which doesn't make sense if this car was bought brand new. All around poorly made car, you will end up paying the double the amount valued based on the repairs. Horrible. Hold this maker accountable, there should be a recall on this vehicle. Lives are at danger.

While I am driving, the car stops running. , the engine cuts off. I have to put the car in park or neutral to restart the engine. Sometimes it will start up sometimes I have to wait on it to starts. Today it stopped in the middle of the street and it did not start back up. . The car had to be pushed out the street. My Jeep will stop on the expressway while driving up to speed, it will stop on rural streets and while turning left or right it will shut down in the middle of the turn. . This is extremely dangerous because it only shuts down when the car is in motion. This has been happening for 3 months.

Vehicle fails to start multiple times when the battery and starter are in good condition. Common fixes that are recommended are replacing the wcm or the relay box. Sometimes the vehicle will start after multiple times and leaving the key cranked for 20 seconds+, but this isn't always reliable. Brought it into the shop and they couldnt recreate the issue, so it was never resolved for my case.

On 11/5/18, my fianc� was driving on the freeway, about 65 miles an hour, when the car engine completely shut off. This caused the power steering to stop working. She was barely able to coast off of the freeway, struggling to steer it, without hitting other vehicles on the busy freeway. It sat for four hours, and then it started again. It has shut off while driving at least four times in a week, on city streets and stop lights, and wouldn't start numerous times the car only has about 35,000 miles on it. It was taken to the Jeep dealership in woodbridge va. , for a sensor chip replacement on 11/10/18. That evening, after taking it home, it wouldn't start. It will be towed back to the Jeep dealership on 11/12/18. There seems to be numerous complaints about this vehicle shutting off while driving. This is an extreme safety concern, especially on the freeway or with children in the car. I don't understand why this serious problem has not initiated a recall, especially when the mileage on the vehicles people are reporting on are so low, including one with only 11,000 miles. It's obviously a Jeep problem. It should not take a fatality in order to initiate a recall.

Driving vehicle along the highway and it completely shut off. Had to put the vehicle in neutral to pull over to the side of the highway.

Driving the Jeep on the road and suddenly it turns off and steering wheel locks up, but before it happens, notice the vehicle jerks. This happen while driving on highway 73 going home from the grocery store. After I turn off the road, turn the key off and sitting there for a few minutes and turn the key, it will start and take me a few blocks and the same thing happens again. Have to push the gas pedal to stay on the road.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. While driving highway speeds, an unknown warning indicator illuminated and there was a drastic reduction in speed. Motor mile (2260 roanoke st, christiansburg, va 24073, (540) 381-8417) and berglund Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram (2525 franklin rd sw, roanoke, va 24014, (540) 345-9881) were notified of the failure. Berglund Chrysler diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The dealer and the manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was excluded from an unknown manufacturer campaign regarding the throttle body. The vehicle was unable to be driven safely. The manufacturer was notified. The contact wanted the vehicle bought back if there was no remedy. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

I want ro know why the crank sensor isnt a recall. Mine went out this morning and luckily I was in my neighborhood and not on the hwy. It's dangerous and my car just cut off on me. I read this morning and there is quite of few people that had the same issue. There could be parents out there with a car full of kids and it could be extremely hot or cold outside. There should be a recall on this item for safety.

On October 3, 2017, while driving stop and go on interstate 5, the engine just stopped and the engine light went on. The water temperature was normal, so I thought it was not an engine problem. This could have been catastrophic, as stopping without warning on an interstate can be a problem. Was able to pull off the road and restart the engine.

When in motion - vehicle looses all power on city street -- we brake and stop --- then are able to start it again -- this has happened a few times -- very concerned.

While in motion on a major highway the car has unexpectedly lost power. This has not been a one time issue. This has happened while turning, while driving on a city street, driving up a hill, and all other instances where your car is in motion. I am terrified to be in the car, but this our only means of transportation. The dealership that services us has told us that many other 2015 Jeep Patriots are having this same issue and Chrysler refuses to fix the problem. He said that it could be the throttle body or possibly something else- the diagnostic test showed elusive results. The man who looked at the Jeep said that he contacted Chrysler hoping that they would "goodwill" the needed repairs, as we just passed the warranty by 1000 miles. Chrysler refused despite this man's persistency to assist us. But our Jeep nightmare does not end there. Before 15,000 miles, a brand new transmission had to be put in. Now at 37,000 miles the car is presenting transmission issues and throttle body issues. We were advised not to drive the car as it has proven itself to be unsafe, and as I mentioned previously this is our only way of transportation. So now we are staring at our parked car that sometimes does not even start, while making payments on said vehicle, which has been deemed too unsafe to drive, paying additional money to be driven around to work and school, and dealing with substandard customer service. What a joy!.

The engine on my 2015 Jeep Patriot dies while I'm driving. This has happened frequently. It typically will happen once the car is warmed up. It will happen most often when I begin to accelerate to merge onto a highway to get to traffic speeds. In this case, the engine will quit and the car will immediately slow. If there is a car behind me, there is no indication to that car that I am immediately slowing. Very dangerous! this also happens while I'm travelling at highway speed and the engine just quits and then restarts on its own. I have also experienced this when I slow to stop at a stop sign or stop light. The engine will simply die and must be re-started.

My car is 2 years old and my brake pads have been replaced three times in addition to new getting new rotors. Problems started occurring when I only had my car for 6 months and whenever I brake, it sounds like metal grinding on metal. Neither my dealership nor Jeep themselves have a reasonable explanation for this problem. It is completely unacceptable for a brand new car. In addition, my car has also had problems starting. Within the last two weeks, I have had two instances of trying to turn my car on and the battery came on, but the car did not make any attempt to turn-over. It took multiple attempts to actually get it started. Before now, my car has had a few instances where it takes a while for it to turn over, which it eventually did come on, but it was struggling and I could tell it was very weak.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that air conditioning system was blowing hot air throughout the vehicle. Additionally, there was a coolant leak. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer three times and was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the air compressor unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000.

While the vehicle was in motion, the car hesitated, lost speed, and then cut off (lost compression) while driving on the freeway. The engine indicator light never came on (beforehand) to alert that there was an engine problem. The passenger front tire loses air (constantly) and I've had to put air in the tire (since purchase date 3/13/15) every other week and the dealership keeps insisting there is nothing wrong with the vehicle.

The second to the last day of hunting season my husband. And I went up above our house, about 15 miles, we were in light snow, and I could not get the throttle to engage caused us to slide back a little again tried to use throttle to go, my husband saw a wisp of smoke on passenger side, I immediately turned the engine off, my husband looks under where the smoke came from and the rack n pinion boot where on fire, I popped the hood, flames were to hot for him to open the hood. I walked down the road to safety, as my husband got out what he could of our belongings out and into the snow bank. And in that few minutes the flames were inside the cab and windows were exploding, next the tires and the paint etc. . . . . The spare tire also blew from the back of the car. My husband left before the gas tank blew if it did we don't know. We had to walk 15 miles soaking wet . We are both disabled with neck and back injuries. This Jeep is our only vehicle. I would like to request an investigation. What worries us is that had someone been confined by wheel chair or children in a car seat this would have been a deadly accident.

Perform poorly sluggish ,,takes off slow after stopping ,slow changing gears ,have only 28000 miles and front end wheels seem to have problem ,when backing up turning wheels there seems to be something rubbing or srubbing. I purchase this Jeep in 2015 brand new ,and have notice few problems with it .
