While driving g engine stalls and can not accelerate, red light w light bolt flashes while car stalls, usually for 10 seconds, then recovers. It happens more and more often. Happens on both freeway and street driving, 60mph and 35mph first time happened about three weeks ago.
While driving the engine stalls, essentially cutting my power steering and have little control over vehicle. Happens on freeway and in city streets and stop lights.
When accelerating my engine seems to bog down and stall very frequently. This had almost caused what could of been a serious accident. Once I was turning in a 4 way intersection and it stalled when car yielding to me was approaching me in intersection almost causing a t bone type crash and the other times was on the highway while accelerating the engine stalled each time causing what could of potentially been a life threatening accident. I was extremely close to being hit by a semi once, a truck pulling a trailer once and multiple cars on different occasions.
Without alerts, engine stalled while driving at approximately 30 mph on a straightaway, frontage road. Steering wheel locked up. I brought vehicle to a stop and turned on hazard signals. Removed key entirely and then re-inserted and attempted to start vehicle. Car failed to start but made ignition noises for approximately 10 seconds without success at which all alert lights on dashboard lit up only while key was turned but failing to start. I removed key entirely again and waited approximately fifteen seconds before re-inserting and attempting ignition once more. This attempt succeeded and I was able to drive vehicle home.
This is an ongoing problem. The engine stalls randomly while driving. It is very unsafe. We have taken it to the dealer several times and they said they were unable to duplicate the problem. The first time we took it to the dealer. They said they couldn't find the problem because there weren't any computer codes. We took the car back home and the problem still occurred. We brought it back to the dealer and paid for them to do the work for the s89 recall even though our VIN isn't covered. I don't know why the recall just covers the wire harness and not the crankshaft sensor itself. We got the Jeep back. The problem still occurred. I took it back to the dealer and the third time they replaced the fuel pump and the throttle body assembly. We had to pay for the repairs because at approx. 42,000 miles it was out of warranty which is only 36,000 miles. We got the Jeep back. Not fixed. The Jeep has stalled at traffic lights and stop signs and also upon turning. We have also stalled going 60 mph on the highway and barely had time to pull off the road. Most of the time, the engine will restart right away, but sometimes you have to wait several minutes. The Jeep is back at the dealer. We had called Chrysler and gotten a case manager. We got a call from him yesterday that the dealer service dept. Still had not found the problem. He was going to check with them again tomorrow. It is unsafe to drive in this condition and we don't know why the problem isn't being fixed.
Car cuts off (engine stall) after starting & driving! first it was hard to start, then it would cut off after starting or putting into drive, finally it cut off on me while driving in the middle of the street (had to be towed)! thank god, I wasn't on a main highway! before the complete shut down, auto zone ran a check on my vehicle for me, showing battery & alternator were fine, but found that the sensor (crankshaft or camshaft) was the problem, with car cutting off! NHTSA shows this to be a problem (vehicle stalling,) with the 2016 Jeep Patriot, but my VIN is not listed. I spoke with my dealer, they acknowledged that was a known problem but not on my VIN#, & that I would need to pay for a diagnostic from them, to prove that is what wrong (can accept information from auto zone)! I am unable to use my vehicle, because of this problem, if this is a known problem with the Jeep Patriot by the dealer & NHTSA, why isn't my VIN# not on the list??.

While driving on a residential road my car stopped without indication, I pressed on the pedal but it wouldn't go. I turned off the car and restarted it right away and it came back on. The next time it was on the highway, everything on the car was still running but the gas pedal wouldn't do anything and it just stopped. I tried restarting the car but it wouldn't turn back on. The car made a loud stuttering noise like it wanted to start but it wouldn't turn on. All the lights on the dash flickered off and on the whole time while trying to restart it. I was finally able to get it back on after about 2-3 minutes of trying to restart it. I found a recall on the crankshaft sensor which causes the engine to stall but I checked my VIN and it shows that there isn't a recall associated with my VIN. The recall with Chrysler is s89.
When driving on the highway, my Jeep instantly turned off with no indication that there was something wrong; no indication of lights or warning issues presented just a loss of complete power. Brakes were hard to push and the power steering was lost as well making it very difficult to control while the car slowed down from going 50 mph. I was luckily in the far right lane when it happened making it easier to pull off to safety for myself and for everyone else behind me. Once stopped, I turned the car back on and all it did was make a sputtering like noise, but never turned on. I waited 5 minutes and tried to start it again and the car turned on this time, but roughly 30 seconds later it just turned off again with no warning. I found a recall on the crankshaft sensor which causes the engine to stall, but when entering my VIN it shows that there is no recall on my car's VIN. This recall needs to be opened up for other VIN's. The recall with Chrysler is s89. This is a huge safety issue!.
