general problems of the 2015 Jeep Patriot

Over the past year, the car has had 4 crank position sensors, new pig tails/connectors on the wire harness, a new throttle body, and a new mcm. The Jeep will randomly shut off without warning either at stoplights/traffic or on the highway at speed. While at speed, the car will "restart" itself, but if it stalls while stagnant a manual restart is necessary. When the stalling occurs, warning lights do not appear on the dash. Lately, however; the crank position code p0339 has come up with the check engine light. I recently experienced a crank position sensor code followed by a cylinder 3 misfire which caused the car to go into limp mode. Once I replaced the mcm, the misfire went away. Most recently (today) the car stalled in the middle of an intersection while making a left turn; my 2 year old son was in the car with me. Since it was a stop light, the car was able to be restarted in time, but had it been a stop sign/non-stop oncoming traffic, the situation could have been much worse.

I'm having acceleration issues and the roms are going too high before shifting. And the steering column starts shaking on the highway after o get going fast like 45 or so. There's one light on and it's my low tire pressure light, but the tires aren't really low. And the issue has been occuring on and off periodically since after I had my brake job in November. It might be an issue with the brake job because I can hear the brakes rubbing. But I sought advice from a mechanic and he thinks its the tcm that needs to be serviced. The issue hasn't occured for a couple weeks and then it occured again today.

My truck goes into a code where the electric throttle control light, the engine light, and the tire traction light comes on. When the vehicle does this it reduces the speed to 35 no matter what or where you are. When you ho get the engine light checked, the code says it's a suction problem ??. Jeep started doing this in the colder weather than progressed to every other week.

Throttle conrol sensor redlightning bolt on dash, after Jeep seemed to loose power. Check engine light. Available upon request. Had to drive home with virtually no exceleration with hazzards on due to unusual dangerous circumstances. Jeep problem not confirmed by dealer. Needs to be towed, for fear of safety. Disheartened,and without a vehicle hoping this can be affordable to fix or fixable at all.

I am having the same issue as just about everyone here with this make and model vehicle. I have stalled twice and one of those times almost caused an accident because I was exiting the highway when it stalled. Many times now for the past several months it has been slowing down to a crawl and repeatedly hesitating like it's choking. This happens presently, at almost every turn I make and sometimes I have to pull over and restart the vehicle. Definitely should be looked into as it most certainly is a road safety concern/issue.

Purchased my 2015 Jeep Patriot on 10/16/2020. Three hours later, as I was driving home, I had a major loss of power (went from highway speeds to 10mph) and the dash lit up with the check engine light, traction control and "lightning bolt" all flashing or lit. I also lost the ability to accelerate and the Jeep would only coast at 10mph and would shake/shudder if stopped.

Car lose power wile driving on the freeway at 65miles p/ hourfrom 65miles to 5mp/h,this is a safety isue, sure be adress as a safety recall,we could get hit from behind at the freeway,we found out that the problem was a failure of the throtle control valve.

The throttle body assembly was repaired in November of 2019. It is July of 2020, I have driven the vehicle less than 2500 miles since the initial repair and the vehicle is producing the exact same symptoms as it was before the repair. It hesitates, almost stalls, and lunges while driving. Traction control light, check engine light and the drive by wire warning light all flash when the vehicle is started and running.

Pressure plate replaced twice and still not working with only 27301 miles. Went in for routine oil change no problems during the last warranty oil change things start to change. Returned to the dealership to express problem report back oil needed top off. Checked for recalls none reported. Truck continued to drive funny popping out of gear when driving and speed decrease while driving on the interstate. No warning lights or any indication something was wrong. I haven't driven my truck in three years due to dealership not having staff and no one is willing to work on Jeep vehicles. Total waste of money and no support. The sad part the tow truck driver towed my neighbors car and remembered towing my truck and stated he has towed many more since.

2015 Jeep Patriot has stalled, lost power, and shut down on me multiple times while driving. The vehicle remained in motion on the street and highway.

Catastrophic failure of throttle control while driving down the highway. Vechile began to sputter and immediately flashed the lightning bolt warning light dropping from 80mph to 10 mph. This was associated with the vechile violently sputtering. Vechile will start but when drive is engaged at low rpm nothing happens. With acceleration the car will sputter and not get past 15 miles per hour. During sputtering no power steering is avalible and braking is made difficult with sputtering.

I was driving when all of sudden my Jeep Patriot started slowing down, limp and a bit out of my control. 3 lights turned on simultaneously. I pulled over to the side of the road. My engine started shaking and my Jeep sounded odd so I turned it off. I waited a bit and turned it back on. I was able to drive it back home safely as I was less than a mile away. I started doing research and found that many Jeep Patriot owners have gone through the same thing. Apparently it's a throttle body issue that Jeep has failed to recall or take acrion on. I had to pick up my son from school and this time the Jeep went limp after less than half of a mile of driving. I struggled to take my car back home and had to keep turning on and off my car. This is very dangerous I was very lucky to just be in my neighborhood. I bought this car in July. These sort of issues shouldn't already be happening. I now will have to take it to a mechanic and spend hundreds of dollars for something I am not responsible for.

Driving Jeep Patriot and it sputtered slowing vehicle down on a busy highway . . . Very dangerous. . . Then went into � limp mode� this needs investigated . . . Had to replace complete throttle body with 80,000 miles.

My Jeep has 44000 miles on it, while out of town camping my Jeep just started shutting off, at all speeds with no warning. This is very scary with small children in the car. I managed to get my Jeep to a Jeep dealership, who told me my throttle control box failed !!!!! at 44000 thousand miles!! $$$$1200. 00 later and 8 hours I was on my way again, but the very next day I started having the same issue so far its happen twice again. The part I find strange is that this same thing happen to the lady sitting next to me at the dealership, so someone please tell me why this would happen to a newer Jeep with low millage, both myself and the other lady are grandmas and not out 4 wheeling or being ruff on our Jeeps. I need some answers and want Jeep to pay for the repair!.

Throttle body must be replaced.

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.

As of 12/18/2018, my car has begun to die as I push on the accelerator after being at a complete stop at a stop light or stop sign, it even died out of no where, my husband was driving back home and thankfully there were no other cars behind him as he was passing the intersection when the car jerked and decided to turn of completely. He put it on park and started up like normal but no check engine light came on or anything. Ever since I got this car in February of 2016, take note that my Jeep only has 65000 miles and I have never had any problems with it until now. It is terrifying because each time it has happened, cars behind me were very close to rear ending my car. This is a big and scary issue for me because I have read on numerous websites that their Jeep Patriots have died on the highway. . . I have a 3 month old that I take back and forth to a baby sitter every weekday, and that is a huge safety issue for my daughter and for people driving around me as well. I have read on a numerous amounts of websites where other Jeep Patriot owners are having the exact same issue. I keep my oil changes up to date and I just changed my spark plugs. So I have no clue what the problem might be I have not taken it to have it checked because of what I have read I see that others have not had luck with taken it to a shop I would hate for this issue to cause somebody to rear end me on the streets or on the highway. Either being on the streets or the highway, it could cause serious damage and injury to me, my 3 month old daughter and to the people around me. Hopefully they have a recall soon!.

Picked it up on 12/5/18 from the dealership after having the cv axle replaced and all of a sudden or according to them "coincidence" my throttle body control has died. It was fine until they worked on it and I was on the way to take my car home and noticed the red lightning bolt light flashing off and on and the jerking and stalling happening, which did not do before they worked on it. Now, I can't get them to fix it without them wanting me to pay for it even though, I wasn't having this issue at all. This is a dangerous issue to have considering I drive down a major highway everyday to work and also take my child to school every day on my way to work. This will result in someone getting killed and the manufacturer and the dealerships need to be held accountable.

April 2017, while driving on the freeway Jeep started to shake. Etc and engine light were lit up, car would not accelerate. Pulled over at nearest exit. Shut off car and tried to restart, car would not start. Dealership determined that throttle body needed to be replaced. August 2018, while waiting at stop light I started to make a right turn. Car was shaking and did not want to accelerate. Traction control and engine light turned on. Had to shut off vehicle and restart in the middle of a city street. Car restarted, the next day only engine light stayed on. While at stop light and foot on the break the engine shut off. All lights and radio stayed on. Restarted car, driving fine. Took it to dealership, they replaced the throttle body again (and wanted to do so at my expense). While attempting to return my car, it shut off on them. They returned it to me saying it had been fixed. Next day problem persisted and became more frequent. Took back to the dealership, they replaced sensor cam and sensor cra to my expense. Now my breaks are shaking. It's a three year old car. I'm the second owner. It shouldn't be having these types of problems. I'm not spending more money at the dealership. I'm selling the vehicle. I'll be sure to never purchase Jeep or any other Chrysler brands.

Since June 2018 I've experienced on going issues with the engine/transmission. While driving the entire front end starts to shake, all the lights on the dashboard come on and then the car stalls. I loose the ability to accelerate and steer during this time. First time this happened I was in delaware on the highway, they replaced the throttle body. Since then the car skips during deceleration mostly when the gears shift in traffic, going on rotaries or attempting to come off /on ramp. . Went to my usual mechanics ran codes ended up replacing sensor in the engine. The car again starts to skip and has ongoing issues accelerating. This is incredibly dangerous I've almost been in a couple accidents from when it decides it's time to accelerate, random engine shut off and inability to accelerate when it matters. I called Jeep apparently they are having lots of issues related to this.

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.

Etc and engine light remains on when running. Light flashing on and off the vehicle stall and reduced performance,an elevated/rough idle and vehicle stall and have no speed and have pull over in traffic. The 2015 only have 3500 miles should not be having a safety issue I could have got run over by the incoming highway traffic.

Etc light was coming on, car would not accelerate as should when gas pedal was pressed. Car would jerk forward as if was about to die. Trying to get onto highway is always sketchy. Finally went completely out and leaving me broke down in middle of 5 o�clock traffic after taking to dealership and being told nothing was wrong but needed a new battery went ahead and paid for just for it to all continue. Finally told throttle body was an issue. Got the entire unit replaced by dealership not just the sensor and not even a year later same thing is happening again. Hundreds of others on forums for the Jeep Patriot no matter the year are having the same issues over and over! it's not safe! someone needs to take this seriously. Not to mention it should never had happened to a 2 year old vehicle! if we want these problems we would purchase used cars. Now I am in fear of it doing it again because it's driving the same not going when gassed jerking forward, even in idle, not just for safety reasons for financial reasons as well. How can do many different year models have the same issues and this not be a mopar recall.

On 5 occasions when driving the car around 70mph, the car starts to decelerate on its own with no indicators on the vehicle showing any issues. The vehicle will not accelerate over 55mph - you have to undertake an emergency move into an inside lane in order to be in a safe location and even when pressing the accelerator pedal it will not go over 55mph. After a few minutes the car will then start to accelerate again. On multiple occasions, it has almost created a s situation where the car has been hit from behind my vehicles behind due to the sudden deceleration. The vehicle has been take into the Jeep dealership and they have not been able to diagnose the issue with the vehicle or reproduce it.

While the car is in motion and you start to press the gas pedal to accelerate it starts jolting and then slows down in mid traffic wherever you are while pressing on the gas. I got it looked at they said it was the throttle body, supposed it got fixed but I paid a lot of money and sometimes it still jolts. I realized that this was a bigger issue when my mom and my sister who each own a compass 2014 & 2015 and both of their vehicles have now produced the same exact problem all of us getting the same issue while almost being crashed in to on the highway and on a main road. Our cars are only 3-4 years old, I'm not sure why so much work is being done for the same situation in all the Jeep made vehicles. The throttle body is supposedly the issue in all three situations, maybe for whoever else owns one should know that they will soon get this problem if they havent. My car still had never been the same since getting it "fixed" by Jeep "professionals" at the dealership.

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.

September 4th 2015 I purchased a brand new 2015 Jeep Patriot it only had 10 miles on the odometer Sep 5th the second day of driving the vehicle I noticed the vehicle had acceleration problems it took a few seconds longer to accelerate after I stopped the car at the light getting off the ramp from the freeway I figured it was just a coincidence since the car was brand new over the days of driving I noticed that it was steady taking delay time to pick up speed as I accelerated from stopping at lights & stop sign on the other hand I did notice the brake system was lousy I had to stop early ahead of time in order for my vehicle to slow down and even stopping early sometimes didn't work I had to swerve out of the lane just to prevent myself from hitting another vehicle. . I brought my vehicle in two weeks later to get my brakes inspected the guy told me that I just need to slow down a lil bit earlier before you usual have to stop. Did really make a difference brake system is still lousy as f*** and to add insult to injury on September 24 I went to get my vehicle washed at kellys car wash I drove to the car wash put my car in neutral had all the windows rolled up tight and doors locked as I proceeded through the carwash everything was going fine until it was time to rinse water started coming from my dome light pouring on down into my air conditioning system and water started leaking from the right side passenger above the windshield I instantly panic as the vehicle was getting done through the carwash I pulled over and called my insurance company to file a claim & then called the dealership they told me to come in I came in they said that there was nothing they can do for me I will have to set an appointment so I set an appointment now I'm just waiting for my appointment to come on September 30 it rained & now my car has water spots on the passenger side above the dashboard.
