6 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2020

When driving the engine seems to sputter, stall, jerk, rev the rpm at random when driving. It happens on the highway going 70 or in a neighborhood going 25 while driving or starting to go from a stop. It will jerk really hard like it is going to stall out but no lights come on the dash to indicate something is wrong and I have taken it into the dealership many times and they tell me it is normal, I've never had any vehicle behave this way except when I was 15 learning how to drive a manual transmission and that wasn't the fault of the vehicle. It also will while in park randomly rev the rpms when nothing is being used in the vehicle, if I then put it in drive and back to park it usually settles down but not always, sometimes I have to shut it off and back on. The jerking and sputtering while driving has gotten a lot worse in the last few months, over the past few years it would randomly do it but it happens more and more now every time I drive and I am conscerned that one day it will stall out and cause a major accident. I have inquired many times about this to no avail from 3 different dealerships.

10 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 07/09/2020

The car stalls while driving it down the road at more then 20mph and it's very dangerous because it does it with no light or any indication that something is wrong.

I was driving down a highway when it stalled on me thankfully I was on the slow lane and was able to pull to the side but not before someone almost rear ending me.

11 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2020

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.

21 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 06/29/2019

My 2016 Jeep Patriot was purchased on January 29, 2016. This vehicle has been nothing more then a death trap for me and a cash cow for the dealership. I have had major life or death problems almost with this vehicle. This vehicle began stalling out and shutting off while driving down busy interstate or other roadways in 2017. My vehicle is currently at the dealership due to stalling out and shutting off in the middle of a busy highway on June 29, 2019 after I left my job. I have filed a complaint with the consumer protection division and I expressed the dangers and the government hasn't stopped in to intervene as of today. I notified Chrysler manufacturer of the problem in 2017, when my vehicle only had 50,000 miles. Once again there wasn't anything done concerning this situation. I notified the NHTSA and this organization hasn't done anything but post my complaint online. This is my second complaint with NHTSA. There has been several recalls on this matter but Chrysler claimed that my vintage number wasn't part of the recall. Although my 2016 Jeep Patriot was doing the exact same thing as the other 2016 Jeep Patriot, that was stalling out and shutting off in the middle of the highway. This death trap of a vehicle should have been recalled when I first initially filed this complaint. Well I guess I'll just watch and see how many people have to lose their lives behind these garbage Jeep Patriots before they recall these death traps. I will definitely look into filing a lawsuit against Chrysler and name all of the agencies that was made aware of this deadly problem. And they done absolutely nothing concerning this matter. I contacted the manufacturer once again this morning. And I have been assigned another case manager and so I'll wait on this phone call after 8:00a. M. Today. I can provide all documentations of the complaints filed.
