general problems of the 2016 Jeep Patriot - part 2

My vehicle doesn't want to accelerate. When I am on the freeway in order to keep up an acceptable speed I have to keep the gas pedal completely pressed down. Also when I leave a stop light/stop sign the Jeep has no acceleration power.

While driving home from work on the interstate yesterday at about 60mph, my Jeep suddenly loss power and started shaking. It wouldn't accelerate at all. I had to quickly put my flashers on as to not cause an accident while I tried to pull into the emergency shoulder. I turned the car off for a few minutes then restarted it to drive home.

As I was driving at about 45 miles per hour, on a two lane road, my vehicle lost all power. It wouldn't hardly pull itself. It almost stalled out completely. I had to shut it off and it reset for a short time. Fortunately I had a place to pull out of the way. I'm having trouble giving my vehicle throttle now. I believe the throttle body is the part that is the issue. I've read that is a problem with other Jeep Patriots.

My car doesn't accelerate like it should and getting on the highway or trying to speed up on highway, the car stalls and doesn't want to go. The rpm doesn't go anywhere and the car jerks a lot. It happening more everyday than before when it would only happen ever so often.

Transmission is winding and juddering.

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.

Automatic Jeep, has difficulty shifting between gears when accelerating. This is especially noticeable when going a slower speed (I. E. Turning a corner, in rush hour traffic with stop-and-go speeds), but does do it at higher speeds (ex. 60 mph to 70 mph). It does not seem to have issues when down shifting. The vehicle has a very noticeable lurch/shutter when it is attempting to shift to a higher gear and will do it repeatedly in a short period of time. The vehicle needs to be driven a while before it will occur, I drive it about 20 miles before it starts exhibiting the issue. The issue is most frightening in city/rush hour traffic because it seems like the vehicle might stop running all together. The vehicle also seems to struggle to make it up hills, as if it does not have enough power to make the climb of even a small hill. The rpm gauge really jumps up high to about 5-6 when climbing a small hill or accelerating 5-10 mph to pass someone on the highway. The issue started before the vehicle had reached 60,000 miles. Filters and oil have been changed several times and fuel injector cleaner has been added to the gas several times, none of these measures have changed the performance issue of the vehicle.

Tl- the contact owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shuts off without warning. The contact stated that upon the most recent failure, the check engine warning light illuminated. Upon investigation, the contact linked NHTSA campaign number: 16v907000(engine and engine cooling) with the vehicle failure; his vehicle had not been included in the recall. The vehicle had not been taken to a dealer or a mechanic to be serviced. The manufacturer had not been notified of the failure, the contact called and attempted to speak with a representative but was placed on an extended hold, the line eventually dropped. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 89,000. Jo.

� takata recall� while driving my 2016 Jeep Patriot in motion on a city street , my engine shut off and I got several lights on my dash . After putting in park the vehicle restarted , but I have a 4 year old son and I dont feel safe driving on the freeway and not knowing if my vehicle is going to stop suddenly in traffic .

Takata recall I was driving my 2016 Jeep Patriot when it stared making a noise and shutter then lost power and stalled in the middle of the road. The car steering locked up when trying to steer car to side of road. The traction light came on right before it stalled and lost power.

Both while driving, and while sitting . Vehicle experienced many electrical problems due to slow tipm failure. Over the course of six months. Countless hours and lots of money on diagnostics. And fixing individual components for the problems that were happening. Car was hesitating, bucking, and sporadic idle. Also radio and bluetooth connectability started to glitch. Certain lights would not work. All of these problems were handled individually for the components that normally makes them happen. Only temporarily fixing the problem. The final problem was the cooling fans staying on even when the car was shut off. Checked all involved circuitry. Everything was fine including relays. Finally settled on the tipm being bad. Jeep then tried to gouge me on the price. Ultimately wanting to charge about $1,600 for the diagnosis and fix. Including $700 just for the part. I located a new oem parts through a third party for $250. And a simple plug-and-play install, corrected all problems with vehicle. Dealership then tried to say the part needed to be programmed. So they could charge $200 for a service that is completely unnecessary. If you get the right tipm for the exact model and options. A soft reset can be done by simply using the ignition key. It is very poor business practice by Chrysler corporation. And they are taking advantage of many unsuspecting customers. Often paying upwards of over $4,000 in one year for misdiagnosed and overpriced services.

At 50 miles an hr transmission not shifting right making a whining sound I was driving back from lampass on 35 going to dallas I only have 60000 miles.

The car would hesitate when accelerating and slow down to a very low speed before bucking and thrusting until the speed would increase. The slowness was slow enough on a highway to almost cause an accident.

On 06/20/2019, car began to have sporadic acceleration problems. No check engine light appeared at first but by middle of day, check engine alert came on. Immediately afterwards, vehicle would not accelerate past 20 mph. Drove vehicle directly to mechanic with hazard lights on driving at speeds between 15-20 mph. Mechanic worked on vehicle repairs following day (06/21/2019) and replaced throttle body & throttle body gasket. Vehicle did not have acceleration problems after repairs.

Overtime, the Jeep has gotten worse when accelerating. When accelerating, the Jeep will keep jerking like it's slipping gears. It will occur accelerating on a street or while on the highway.

I was going uphill on a rural road when my car powered down and the rpms dropped down to 0. It kicked right back in, it happened one more time on my way home through the city. When I got into my driveway, before I could come to a complete stop it dropped rpms and powered down. After a half an hour I went out to head to a dr. Appt and my Jeep wouldn't start.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. After the vehicle was repaired per an unknown recall regarding the crankshaft, the vehicle lost acceleration while driving various speeds. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle. In addition, the abs and four wheel drive warning indicators illuminated. The repairs were performed by fletcher superstore (3111 e 32nd st, joplin, mo 64804, (417) 553-7589). The vehicle was not repaired a second time. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 34,200. The VIN was unknown.

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.

On September 24, 2018 the Jeep Patriot listed above stalled while driving east on I-70 we were towed to a mechanic in goodland, kansas. After the vehicle was diagnosed it was discovered that the camshaft was broken.

I am driving the Jeep is on the highway, doing 60 mph one week after I had bought the Jeep in may 2016 and it automatically started going faster on it's own, with the rpm indicator going clockwise. It would not slow down on its own so I had to drive to the access road and put emergency brake on. Once I was able to start the vehicle again it reset itself and performed normally. This has occurred 5 times since I have owned it, including July 25, 2018 when it happened again last week. Last year I had it checked and was told a sensor light was out, so they "fixed" it. It is still happening. The dashboard indicators are constantly flashing. They told me they reset them also. It is still occurring, also.

Vehicle loses power unpredictably while in motion. Occurs in various scenarios, including during a complete stop, accelerating, decelerating, and cruising (occurs at all speeds 0-75 mph). Vehicle maintains electrical power but loses thrust, power steering, and brake pressure. Car needs to be turned off, and on occasion the engine will not turn over when attempting to re-start. Will have to wait several minutes. Occurs mostly after the vehicle has been driving for at least a short distance, then turned off for 5-10 minutes minimum. When vehicle restarts, the operator is at risk for failure. Jeep dealership has replaced the trottle body and issue persisted. Returned to Jeep, they replicated the engine failure but cannot identify an issue.

It started about two years ago while driving down the road it started jerking like it was between gears . Took to dealership several times just to be told they couldn't find nothing. I told them something was wrong and its so bad when it happens vehicle stalls and almost dies. I have called Jeep and they do nothing but blame it on a recall that has been done already. It has gotten so bad I bought my wife another vehicle and I'm driving it do to my safety concerns.

I was not informed of this recall and had no knowledge why my car would stall. No notice was sent o my house. I want another vehicle, it can be used same year and style but fixed!.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. While driving approximately 35 mph, the gear shifted on its own out of the drive position. The contact placed the gear in neutral and then back into drive. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to schumacher Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram of delray (561-935-4210, located at 2102 s federal hwy a, delray beach, FL 33483) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 2,811.

While driving slowly (~10 mph) sb I prepared to make a right-turn (wb), in the only lane that turns right. As I neared the intersection the light turned green, enabling me and the (1) lane on my left to go (it goes sb). No car was ahead of me (to turn). The street I was turning onto had one (wb) lane, and two lanes (stopped), that go eb. Note: (may be relevant), I frequently down-shift (automatic) transmissions (using the "paddles" or "buttons", whatever's on the shift column), on all automatic trans. Cars I drive, when I slow down. I do this to save wear & tear on my brakes, when approaching stop-signs or red-lights. I down shift gradually, just like on a manual trans. When it's time to go, I hold the paddle in the "up-shift" mode, until I see "drive" on the trans. Indicator. In this accident, as the light turned green (the trans. Was in a low gear), I held the paddle in "up-shift" mode (note: I may have clicked the paddle 1 gear up before it went to "drive", I don't remember), and started the turn, barely pressing the accelerator. When I was appr. Halfway (45 degrees) into the turn (pointed swb at the opposite two lanes), I felt the engine "stagger" (like if you accidentally shift a manual trans. Into a high gear but you meant a low gear), and in a fraction of a second-the car rocketed ahead (I heard rpms) slamming me into the wb car(s) so fast, I didn't even make 90 degrees, nor could I brake (I tried). The 1st car impacted went backward (and to the right) hitting the car behind, and hit the car in the right lane. Note: 1. Jeep was totaled. 2. This accident was in dry weather, mid-morning @ intersection I drive nearly every day. 3. The airbag failed & I was briefly knocked-out w/some injuries. 4. This is not: " I hit the gas but meant the brake" case, I went from slow to rocket-ship. 5. I've been driving > 40 years w/o accident. 5. I'm a pilot w/good reflexes.

Shifts from d to 1st on its own: from a stop, the 2016 Jeep Patriot semi-automatic transmission drops to first gear on its own. There is no indication until the driver has pulled into traffic and has no acceleration power. The dash light indicates the vehicle is in 1st gear, but the driver was not expecting this and must either gun the engine and take rpms off the chart to avoid a crash from oncoming vehicles, or manually shift the vehicle to n or p and then return to d for a type of "reset". The issue is intermittant. The dealership where we bought the vehicle cannot replicate the problem (in to shop 3x for this issue). They replaced the stick sensor and opened two separate staron packs with Jeep engineers. But the problem continues. I suspect its transmission ($$) related or electrical ($$). Moving on to new dealership service. Fingers crossed. Cruise control: when cruise engaged at 70-75 mph on open hwy, had to slow for traffic. Speed dropped down to about 60-65. When reengaged cruise, the vehicle accelerated uncontrollably--rpms shot through the roof. Had to tap the breaks to disengage cruise and whole family experienced a hard lurch. Reported issue to Jeep service as perhaps related to issue with downshifting to first. Response was that this was normal. Seatbelts: when a person weighing more than 230lbs sits in the front seats, the seat belt warning sound dings as if the belt is not engaged. The dealership replaced sensors in both front seats. Problem resolved.

Drive for 6 hours and 400 miles at 65 mph on higway, the transmission overheat light comes on suddenly and the vehicle lose speed rapidly and stops on highway. The vehicle becomes unmovable forward and strands passengers dangerously stuck in the traffic lane.

Driving down highway vehicle had sudden loss of all power. Headlamps flickered and everything shut off. Unable to put hazard lights on or use horn to warn oncoming traffic.
