Within 1. 5 years my car kept slowing down when driving out of no where. We almost crashed because the car literally won’t pick up speed or just jolts a few times then stops. We spent over $1000 to have it fixed with 3 different mechanics. They said it was the crankshaft I believe and catalytic converters. We just got the car brand new in 2016 so this has been frustrating because we get oil changes every 3 months and take great car of the car. We’ve had two get brakes don’t over and over and also when you turn the wheels it’s loud and sounds like the ending of a roller coaster when you here it turning. The rides are not smooth either you can see my hand shaking hard when driving even at slow speeds like 35 mph. Jeep really sold us a lemon and we have been paying such a high car note on top fixing things each year. After so many complaints, they really should reimburse people who spend money fixing the same issue. A law suit may handle the issues as well but due diligence would be Jeep seeing the issues and repairing the problem or refunding for the repairs. I’m hoping someone else will see my complaints and think twice before purchasing this vehicle.

Driving on the highway all of a sudden, I start losing power, rpms go way up. It's happened many times in last month and its pretty scary on the highway.

To whom it may concern I purchased a 2016 Jeep Patriot sport on may 21 2022, the vehicle since date of purchase has been stalling at acceleration speeds of 65 mph, as well as in reverse while parking while idle at stop light and stop sign upon stalling no warning lamp has been present. I have contacted multiple Jeep dealerships upon getting a diagnostic for this matter as well as recalls, I was told by Jeep by customer service that they did not do recalls on the 2016 models any longer. In the mist of trying to get it serviced , by Jeep the vehicle was serviced 3 times in total by nyc automart with no avail. The crank shaft sensor was changed by nyc automart twice still no solutions.

The check engine light keeps coming on and it the codes keep saying it’s the throttle pedal position sensor a/b circuit.

Two issues- first one the vehicle engine tends to randomly sputter like there is a dead cylinder. Which I have found by adding electric jell to the spark plug connector will make the problem go away for a short time. Second one now in the rear transfer case is marking a grinding noise and is getting louder.

Air conditioner drain drips directly on subframe cross brace for front cradle, erosion and road grim along with neverending dripping water even from using defrost leads to rust and cross brace breaking into and well you can use your imagination for what happens next. Drain needs extended and re routed because I know I can't be the only one with this problem.

The cvt fluid filler tube broke where the braket is, about 12 inches broke off. Dont know how long its been broken, I found it when I was changing the electronic throttle body. This has happened to a lot of autos in the Chrysler family. Go to any Chrysler auto forum, I guarantee this will be something that has happened to 1 if not more people. Just google "broken cvt fluid filler tube" and it will all come up. This has to be a manufacture defect. Happening to too many people. They break at the same place, the bracket, no warning light indicator. . . . Nothing! it is usually found when something else is being done under the hood, then you see the broken piece just laying there. Thanking the lord you and your family are ok, because had this piece of metal tubing broke off and went flying anything could have happened. This situation has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center nor has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance rep. I am providing pictures of the piece that broke off. I bought the vehicle used in July 2021, have had my vehicle serviced twice and noone has ever noticed the broken tube, I had to replace my battery in October 2021never noticed the broken piece. Only until I personally replaced the electronic throttle body did I find the broken tube. And that was done yesterday Feb 19, 2022.

The cvt transmission is failing before 60k miles and overheating during normal driving conditions. There were 2 prior owners before me and no vehicle history as to why it was traded into a dealer. No matter what I do the transmission heats rapidly and can only dissipate the heat would be to turn the heat on full blast.

While turning a corner my car turned off. Happened on several occasions. Has happened on highway, in town and in parking lot. At low speeds and accelerating- car stalls & turns off. Very dangerous.

***vehcile was purchased January 2021. Later found out the 2015 Jeep Patriot I purchased had 5 previous owners. . . Making me the 6th owner. *** sept 2021 I was driving during rush hour on busy las vegas city street when out of nowhere and no warning my 2015 Jeep Patriot lost power. . . 3 dashboard lights came on (lightning bolt/check engine light/traction control). I was able to coast into a hotel parking lot after crossing 3 lanes of traffic. Once parked, I shut the vehicle off, waited about 10-15 seconds tried restarting it again and to no avail the problem persisted. Had the car towed to mechanic shop where they determined/diagnosised the problem to be the throttle body and it needed to be replaced. Car was no longer under warranty so I had to come out of pocket almost $1000. All this during the covid 19 pandemic. When I picked up the vehicle from the mechanic they informed me the traction control light is still on because my rack/pinion was damaged so my alignment is out of whack. They allowed me to drive off with my vehicle even when the alignment being screwed up. When driving my vehicle home, I was so scared because it felt like my vehicle wanted to go in every direction at the same time. The next day I took my vehicle to big o tires to have them test the alignment. After they re-aligned the Jeep it ran perfect. But I spoke to soon. . . Just after 1 week, im now starting to experience more issues. . . Car accelerating on its own, hesitation when trying to take off from red light, back firing from either the tail pipe or under the hood (almost seems like the engine is being flooded out with to much gas), my gas mileage has gotten worse. This vehicle should be recalled!!!.

I am a service contract administrator. I recently received a claim where the contract holders vehicle would stall. The shop stated a recall had been performed by auto nation Chrysler Dodge Jeep in littleton , CO. ( 7980 w tufts Ave , littleton , CO 80123 ) ( 303-578-6099 ) I called over , gave them the VIN , and asked for documentation on the repair. The shop said they would send it over. In the meantime I had the shop the vehicle was currently at send me pictures of the wiring. The repair was poorly done , and auto nation is refusing to rectify their poor workmanship. The service advisor in questions name is scott. He would not return phone calls , and never sent over the requested documentation. My company will take care of the customers repairs. Attached are the pictures of the poor repair. My purpose here is to report poor workmanship , and let you know this dealership is not repairing vehicles to either manufacturer , or federal standards.

After refueling car stalls when this happens loss of power steering brakes etc dangerous entering busy roads from gas stations been happening consistently, many other owners report same problem across multyears of manufacture.

My Jeep sputters like it's going to shut off. It does occasionally and I loose steering and speed control and the brakes dont work. Not sure if it's a fuel issue a transmission issue or what the deal is but it has done it forever. It jerks around like it is in the wrong gear and often is trying to operate in 6th gear when going 30 mph. It's not changing gears. . . It isn't accelerating correctly when pulling out in traffic. It is a disaster waiting to happen and has been. The local dealer just says wait for recall info. It's a Jeep. It will be coming eventually. . . . Hello I drive my kids around daily.

Filled gasoline up and had car idle while driving. Had to place car in park, turn ignition off and back on to get it to turn back on. This happened two times and happens everytime I fill up gas in car. Other Patriots have reported same issue and I have been very close to accidents due to this.

My Jeep Patriot will stall out on me unexpectedly while driving. I have had thousands of work done on it just for it to continue to happen. No shop has been able to figure out what is wrong due to no code showing up. It has been overheating on me and has been causing me to throw away a lot of money. I am very upset about this and the fact that there is nothing happening and all of these complaints is ridiculous!!.

The Jeep Patriot 2016 latitude 4wd has been having issues "jerking" and today had a couple moments where all power and steering was gone and the accelerator pedal wouldn't pick the car back up to speed. I was driving at about 55mph on a highway and all power went out and I lost steering. It was very scary and dangerous. Please Jeep fox this problem and own up to the manufacturer defect your vehicle is reported over and over to have!.

Transmission started with a whining sound, then the check engine light came on, the SUV then began to sputter, then it stopped accelerating on the interstate. I pulled off to the side to restart my vehicle and it ran fine for a few miles and began to do this again. Something with the cvt transmission. Going to cost a fortune to fix. Chrysler should be responsible. This is a dangerous glitch in their vehicles.

The vehicle stalled while driving. Lost steering capabilities and had a hard time pulling over. Had to turn key completely off and wait a couple minutes and it turned back on. I was on a busy city street.

The unsealed main relay box is positioned directly below the lead-acid battery which leaks directly onto the cover, enters the relay box and destroys the leg and wiring connected to the automatic shutdown relay. This can occur both as the vehicle is operating or cause a no-crank/no-start situation, immobilizing the vehicle. In our case, the first time it occurred was in a parking lot but the issue is well documented on the internet and there are myriad youtube videos on the issue for many Jeep and fca vehicles. This is enough of a known issue that fca has not addressed for many years now and we just paid $460. 00 for the dealer to move the affected relay from the box to a less vulnerable location. It occurred a few times before the wiring failed completely, and in our case was in a stationary condition each time fortunately.
