Four problems related to brake sensor have been reported for the 2016 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle loses power and/or stalls while driving, even at high speeds. Vehicle stalled several times when stopped. I had to let car sit for a few minutes before it would restart. Lost acceleration at low speeds, especially after turning a corner and beginning to accelerate. You press on the gas and nothing happens. This also happened several times on the highway going 60mph. Luckily it kicked back in. There is a recall on the same year Patriot s89 for the crankshaft sensor, which was the exact problem on my Patriot. I informed the dealer of this recall when I took the car in for service. He said it wasn't applicable to my vehicle and wouldn't keep the paperwork I gave him for the recall. The dealer, however, told me it was the abs system and charged me to replace it and then ended up replacing the crankshaft sensor after the problem still happened on the test drive after replacing abs. The Patriot stalled on the highway. If the dealer would have listened to me and done the test drive first, they would have discovered the issue right away. This is a huge safety issue. Luckily I didn't get hit on the highway.
Front seatbelts will just unbuckle after you've buckled. The Jeep wont accelerate, it wont shift until 3 1/2 grand, between 0-40 mph it chugs & almost dies, once above 40 its usually fine. The dealer says things are fine. What is wrong and why wont these issues come up on diagnostics? the tire low sensor is always on - even after new tires & they reset it. No wonder the warranty length was lowered. Brakes became sqeaky around 6 months. One owner - me unfortunately.
This vehicle is a lemon it almost caused a fatality it backfired and all the lights came on it's been pulling and out of line since day one bought new. . . . . Sensors have been replaced three times and now in shop for electrical sensor $1400.
I purchased this vehicle 2 and a half weeks ago and it has been back to the dealer 4 times because of the check engine light. The first time they stated it was a sensor for the breaks. Second, time they stated, for the same thing a brake sensor. Third, time they said the sensor was bad. Now for the fourth time they are saying it's a module. No, it's time for a new truck a 2016 Jeep should not have the engine light come on at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's time to be in the process to file the lemon law because the car has been back up their four times maybe even more for the check engine light.
