ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, AS DID THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS AND THE ACCELERATOR CUT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS 3 LANES TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND APPARENTLY MY 2016 PATRIOT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
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.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY CAR JUST STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH!!. IT JUST DIED. LUCKILY 3 STRANGERS PUSHED ME TO SAFETY. IT STARTED WORKING SOON AFTERWARD ONLY TO GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AGAIN. IT WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKPOSTITION SENSOR IS BAD. IT IS RECALLED ON OTHER 2016 JEEP PATRIOTS BUT NOT COVERED ON THIS ONE. IT WAS MANUFACTURED BEFORE THE RECALL. I HOPE YOU WILL CONSIDER INCLUDING THIS CAR UNDER THE RECALL. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE ABRUPT STOPPING OF THIS VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT SHE WAS NOT INJURED BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH WORSE. WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND AM UPSET TO KNOW THAT THIS FAULTY SENSOR CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PREVENT POSSIBLE INJURY TO OTHERS.
