BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 MY JEEP WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. MY SON WAS THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME ON HIS WAY TO PICK ME UP FROM WORK IN TIVERTON RHODE ISLAND. ACCORDING TO HIM, HE RECALLS EVERYTHING FINE AND THEN A MOMENT WHEREIN EVERYTHING WENT BLANK. UPON ARRIVAL THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED, I ASKED HIM WHAT HAPPENED, HE WAS IN A STATE OF CONFUSION. AT THAT POINT THE POLICE HAD CAUGHT UP, AND BEGAN THE INVESTIGATION, AND MY SON WENT TO THE HOSPITAL BY RESCUE. FAST FORWARD: WE ARE IN QUESTION TO THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THE VEHICLE VEERED INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BASED ON OUR INVESTIGATION AND RECALL OF THE INCIDENT A: THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND B: THE RIGHT WHEEL AND AXLE WAS COMPLETELY DISENGAGED ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD SUSTAINED A MAJORITY OF DAMAGES ON THE LEFT/DRIVER'S SIDE! THE LEFT/DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL AND AXLE WAS STILL COMPLETELY INTACT DESPITE SUSTAINING A VAST AMOUNT OF DAMAGES. *DT*JB

WE HAVE A JEEP PATRIOT 2016 AND WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT FOR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH EFFECTS THE STARTER. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE JEEP STARTING AND TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT IT WAS UNDER RECALL. WE TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER AND THEY SCHEDULED IT TO BE FIXED. WE WERE THEN CALLED AND TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE MISSED THE RECALL DATE BY 2 MONTHS SO IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE RECALL AND IT WOULD COST TO HAVE THIS FIXED. IT IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED ON OTHER 2016 JEEPS AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. WE ARE NOW HAVING TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPAIR DONE WHEN VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE! THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED AND IT WOULD NOT START. WE ACTUALLY HAD IT HOOKED UP TO READ WHAT THE ISSUE WAS ALSO. IT IDENTIFIED AN ISSUE WITH THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THE SAME REPORTED RECALL ISSUE!

I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON A BUSY FREEWAY, WHEN MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN 40 MILES AND STALLED. APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR LATER, AAA ARRIVES INSPECT MY VEHICLE AND THERE'S NOTHING APPARENTLY WRONG. MY CAR DRIVES LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I WILL BE TAKING IT INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. THIS HAPPENED IN MENLO PARK, CA OFF THE WILLOW EXIT. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE, AND MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO A CENTER DIVIDER.

CAR SHUTS OFF AND LOSES POWER AT VARIOUS SPEEDS 1-65 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN IT LOSES POWER THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND YOU BETTER PULL OVER FAST OR YOU WONT BE ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU CAN GET IT TO START BACK UP. SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE TO START BACK UP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME FOR 5 MONTHS NOW'. I'VE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME NOTHING IS WRONG... I NEVER GOT NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS AND THEY DIDNT EVEN INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY JEEP PATRIOT THE TWO TIMES I'VE HAD IT IN. I AM NOW HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WILL NOT DRIVE MORE THAN A FEW FEET WITH CONSTANT SHUT DOWN. IT IS DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, UP HILL, DOWN HILL, FLAT, ETC.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THIS OCCURED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD. RESTARTED AND AS DRIVING HOME, VEHICLE TRIES TO ACCELARATE ITSELF WHILE CAR IS IDLING. HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE, IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN OFF. TOOK IN FOR REPAIRS AND DEALER STATES THAT THROTTLE BODY IS BAD AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES. ADVISED THAT IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS VEHICLE CAN LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS/ LAGS DURING ACCELERATION. MORE SPECIFICALLY DURING STOPS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IT WILL DO THE SAME IN AN UPWARDS OF 50 MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY SHUDDERING AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I AM UNSURE WHAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM, I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR BACK IN NOVEMBER 2018 WITH 42K MILES ON IT. I HAVEN'T EVEN PUT 10K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS ACTING STRANGELY. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THIS CAR IS THE ABS AND STABILITY CONTROL SENSOR KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING. IT KEEPS COMING LOOSE FROM THE SENSOR THAT CONNECTS TO THE TIRE AND UNFORTUNATELY MOST PEOPLE ARE TOLD THEIR ABS SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE. I THINK THE SHUDDER/LAG ISSUE SHOULD BE LISTED AS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AND A BROADER RANGE OF OTHER JEEPS BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE A STANDARD ISSUE WITH JEEP PATRIOTS 2016 MODELS.
