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.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING IN WARMER WEATHER (NOT EVEN HOT WEATHER) THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LIGHT COMES ONE AND THE JEEP POWERS DOWN. THE MANUAL STATES TO LET THE CAR IDLE UNTIL THE LIGHT COMES OFF. NO CODES ARE EVER DETECTED AND JEEP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO WITHOUT A CODE. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES DURING A TRIP AND LEAVES PATRIOTS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH SEMI'S AND TRUCKS WHIZZING BY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. ON JEEP FORUMS THERE ARE MANY, MANY CASES OF OTHERS STATING THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE JATCO CVT TRANSMISSION AND NISSAN HAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST 5 TIMES TO DATE.

JEEP PATRIOT CONVERTER RECALL MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON ME AND WAS UNABLE TO BE PUT INTO EITHER A DRIVE OR REVERSE OPTION. THE JEEP SHUT DOWN AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE CADILLAC CONVERTER. THE TRANSMISSION ON THE JEEP BECAME PHYSICALLY TORN INTO PIECES WHILE IT WAS OVERWORKED DUE TO THE CONVERTER ISSUE, AND MY EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS OVERWORKED. ACCELERATION BECAME AN ISSUE AS WELL. HAD TO HAVE THE JEEP TOWED, AND REPAIRED WITH HIGH COSTS DUE TO THE SERIOUS PROBLEM OF IT NOT BEING DRIVEABLE. I HAD THE CONVERTER REPLACED, THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, AND OTHER SMALL REPAIRS IN ORDER TO FIX IT AND SAVE IT. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE AS OF YET, AND AM HOPING TO AVOID ANY IN THE FUTURE. I JUST BECAME AWARE OF THE NATIONAL RECALL FOR JEEP PATRIOTS AND THEIR CONVERTER MALFUNCTIONS. PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW I CAN GO ABOUT SENDING MY RECEIPTS FOR THESE REPAIRS TO BE REIMBURSED.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT, THE CAR STARTED LOSING POWER WHILE ACCELERATING UPHILL, IT ALSO VEERED OFF THE ROAD, LIKE IT WAS STEERING ITSELF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A RED LIGHTNING BOLT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THANKFULLY I WASN'T FAR FROM MY MECHANIC AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO MY MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A THROTTLE BODY. THIS COULD BE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I OWN A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT WITH 34,000 MILES ON THE JEEP. OVER THE PAST WEEK MY JEEP HAS FAILED ME. IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES. IN ADDITION WHILE DRIVING, THE JEEP WAS JERKING , HESITATING AND THE RPM'S DROPPING TO ZERO WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. A TOTAL LOSS OF POWERSTEERING AND BRAKES OCCURED AS WELL. THE THIRD TIME RESULTED IN ME ALMOST GETTING HIT AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD. AFTER GETTING MY JEEP TOWED TO THE LOCAL LEE JEEP ( FORT WALTON BEACH FL) THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT LOCATE AN ISSUE WITH THE JEEP. THE JEEP HAS STALLED OUT ON THEM, BUT CANNOT GET A CODE. SO NOW I AM WITH OUT A CAR, HAVING TO PAY FOR A RENTAL OUT OF MY POCKET AND I AM A SINGLE TEACHER. THIS IS POOR SERIVE AND AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT IS AN ISSUE FOR MULTIPLE JEEP PATROITS OF VARIOUS MAKES AND MODELS AND JEEP IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND HAS RECALLED OTHER YEARS, BUT NOT THE 2015 WHICH IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE THE CRANKSHAFT/ CAMSHAFT SENOR WIRE HARNESS ( SAFTEY RECALL S89 FOR THE 2016 MODEL) ALSO THE SAME ISSUE WITH LATER MODELS AS WELL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY JEEP FOR 3 DAYS NOW AND NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT. MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME SHOES AS I AM NOW. WITH A JEEP THAT HAS ONLY 34,000 MILES, SUCH FAILURES SHOULD NOT OCCUR AND SUCH EXPENSES SHOULD BE PASSED ONTO THE OWNER FOR SUCH A WIDESPREAD AND KNOWN ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE THROTTLE BODY. I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY WENT TO ACCELERATE AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE JUST STUTTERED. A MACK TRUCK WAS SPEEDING ALONG LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE HIGH-SPEED LANE SO HE COULD SWERVE AROUND ME AND BEEP AT ME I HAD TO DRIVE TO THE NEXT EXIT DOING 20MPH IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND GET IT TO MY GARAGE WHICH WAS TWO TOWNS OVER. EVERY TIME I HAD TO STOP AT A LIGHT THEN ACCELERATE IT WOULD STUTTER AND ONLY GO TO 20MPH. THE THROTTLE LIGHT WOULD COME ON THEN GO OFF. I BROUGHT IT TO THE GARAGE AND THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART FROM FAR AWAY BECAUSE NO PLACE CLOSE TO US HAD IT DUE TO HIGH DEMAND WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS WIDESPREAD I AM NOT SURE WHY A RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT STAKE. I ALMOST THREW UP IN MY CAR AFTER THE MACK TRUCK PASSED ME AND I REALIZED I COULD OF BEEN KILLED. I PAID $610.37 TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED SO I AM NOT SURE IF THE EXPENSE OF THE PART IS THE ISSUE BUT AGAIN I COULD OF BEEN KILLED AS COULD OF A LOT OF OTHERS THAT I READ ABOUT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME THAT I FILL THE FUEL TANK, MY JEEP STALLS ONE TO THREE TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE MILES. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT A STOP LIGHT, DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, OR WHILE MAKING A LOW SPEED TURN. I HAVEN'T BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE YET, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN CLOSE CALLS TO DATE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC TO GET THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED AND I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY ROLL OVER VALVE LOCATED ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK WHICH IS VERY COSTLY.

TRANSMISSION AND AXLE SHAFT AREA MAKES A WHINING NOISE AS IF GEARS ARE FAILING. THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSINGTHIS SO I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PRONLEM ACTUALLY STARTED! I HAVE ALSO NOTICED ON NEWER JEEP PATRIOTS THE YEAR 2015 THE REAR PASSENGER SIDES ABS/WHEEL SPEED SENSOR GOES OUT AS WELL AS WHEEL BEARING FAILURE WHICH STARTED AT 30,000 MILES. PLEASE FIX THESE PROBLEMS IT SEEMS LIKE THSES WHERE NOT MADE WELL FOR THE 44 FEATURE AS YOU DISPLAY IT TO BE CAPABLE OF. PLEASE FIX THESE PROBLEMS! THANK YOU! MY 2007 MAKES POPPING NOISES DURING RIGHT TURNS THE WHOLE UNDERCARRIAGE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS!

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR FROM WORK AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS UNSTEADY, THE RED LIGHT ALSO CAME ON BUT I DID NOT STOP. UPON ARRIVING HOME THERE WAS BEEPING SOUNDS BUT I HAD MY KEY AND LIGHTS OFF. I PROCEEDED TO THE HOUSE AND THE FOLLOWING MORNING THE CAR WONT START, TRIED JUMP STARTING TO NO AVAIL. CONTACTED JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE SAID IT WAS WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE AND A NEW KEY NEEDED. I HAVE ALSO SEEN HUNDREDS OF OTHER DRIVERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR COULD NOT ENGAGE GEAR AND WAS LEFT SHAKING AND AFTER SHIFTING TO A LOWER GEAR IT GAINED CONTROL.

I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE. THE THROTTLE LIGHTNING BOLT FLASHES, CAR WONT SHIFT OR DO MORE THAN 35. IT WONT RESPOND TO ACCELERATING. IT JERKS ALL OVER THE PLACE WHEN AT A LOW SPEED. I WENT OFF OF THE ROAD IN THE SNOW BUT WAS OK. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT KICKED INTO A LOWER GEAR, JERKED AND THE CAR SLID. YOU ARE GOING TO GET PEOPLE KILLED IGNORING THIS AND NOW HERE IS WRITTEN PROOF THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. DO HEAR THAT, CHRYSLER? BECAUSE YOURE ABOUT TO.
