ENGINE
THE ENGINE ON MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT DIES WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY. IT TYPICALLY WILL HAPPEN ONCE THE CAR IS WARMED UP. IT WILL HAPPEN MOST OFTEN WHEN I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY TO GET TO TRAFFIC SPEEDS. IN THIS CASE, THE ENGINE WILL QUIT AND THE CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY SLOW. IF THERE IS A CAR BEHIND ME, THERE IS NO INDICATION TO THAT CAR THAT I AM IMMEDIATELY SLOWING. VERY DANGEROUS! THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHILE I'M TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THE ENGINE JUST QUITS AND THEN RESTARTS ON ITS OWN. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN I SLOW TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. THE ENGINE WILL SIMPLY DIE AND MUST BE RE-STARTED.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
A RECALL WAS ISSUED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016 THE VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE LENGTH OF TIME. I WAS ALREADY CONTACTED BY CHRYSLER AND THEY ASSURED ME THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY JUNE BUT THAT HAS ALREADY PASSED. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DRIVE A CAR, POTENTIALLY, WITH FAULTY AIRBAGS OR SEATBELTS FOR A YEAR.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN VEHICLE OPERATES IN MOUNTAINOUS HIGHWAYS REQUIRING 3000-3500 RPM FOR CONTINUOUS LONG GRADE, OR A SERIES OF SMALLER GRADES WHICH HEAT THE TRANSMISSION. THE COMPUTER IS AUTOMATICALLY PROGRAMED TO SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE . THIS OCCURS WITHOUT REGARDS TRAFFIC, ROAD CONDITIONS OR SAFETY. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE LAST YEAR AND HAVE RECORDED 55 SEPARATE OCCASIONS OF SUCH OPERATING HAZARDS. THIS ACTIVITY LEAVES THE STRANDED VEHICLE AT THE EDGE OF THE ROADWAY FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME AS TRAFFIC FLIES BY AT EXCESS OF 65 MPH OR HIGHER. THE STRANDED VEHICLE REPRESENTS A HAZARD TO BOTH THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE VEHICLES IN TRANSIT NEARBY. THESE STOPS FOR THE VEHICLE CAN BE AS LONG AS THIRTY MINUTES FOR COOL DOWN. THE DANGERS POSED BY THIS ACTIVITY ARE GREATLY ENHANCED WHEN THIS OCCURS AT NIGHT. TRAFFIC STOPPED WITH LIGHTS AT ROADS EDGE ARE OFTEN CONFUSED WITH A MOVING VEHICLE AND DRIVERS PLOW INTO THE REAR OF THE STRANDED VEHICLE UNKNOWING IT IS AT A DEAD STOP. THESE COMPUTER GENERATED STOPS ARE INHERENTLY DANGEROUS. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE AN UNABLE TO MAKE THE DRIVE LINE MODIFICATIONS THAT WOULD ELIMINATE THE DANGERS POSED BY THIS DEFECT IN ENGINEERING. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT MADE AWARE TO THE MANUFACTURER IN TESTING TRIALS OF THESE PARTICULAR VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS LEMON!!!

POWER TRAIN
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, THE TRANSMISSION WILL OVERHEAT, INDICATED BY A HIGH PITCH WINE AND THEN A WARNING LIGHT WHILE AT FREEWAY SPEED. ON MY VEHICLE IT DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER WHAT THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS. THIS THEN INVOLVES ME SITTING AT THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. DEALERS DO NOT OR WILL NOT SAY THERE IS A PROBLEM AFTER CHECKING THE DIAGNOSTICS, WHEN IT IS PLAINLY EVIDENT BASED ON A WEALTH OF INTERNET SITES TIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION, PARTICULARLY IN A JEEP PATRIOT. THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENT OCCURRENCES AS TIME GOES ON. MY ISSUES STARTED AT 2500 MILES, I AM AT 86,500 NOW. I CAN SAY THAT THE ISSUE HAS NEVER STARTED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, ONLY HAPPENS AT 60+ WITH AS LOW AS 2500 RPM INDICATED ON THE TACHOMETER.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
WE ARE CURRENTLY IN OUR 4TH STAY AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE MAY 2016 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND/OR ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR WILL DING AND LIGHT UP CAUSING THE WHEELS TO LOSE POWER (IT IS LIKE YOU ARE IN NEUTRAL), THE BRAKES TO BECOME HARD (YOU CAN'T DEPRESS THEM), AND THE STEERING BECOMES TIGHT. THE THREE PREVIOUS TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP (GRIFFIN DODGE TIFTON GA), WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED THE STABILITY CONTROL SENSOR, THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET, WIRING HARNESS TO THE TRANSMISSION, AND MOST RECENTLY THE CPU (FEB 2017).

ENGINE
MY 2014 PATRIOT IS A 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH A 2.4 L ENGINE. IT HAS JUST UNDER 54000 MILES AND HAS RECENTLY (WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS) STARTED STALLING WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY NOT SUPER SERIOUSLY TO THE POINT OF LOSING ALL POWER AND BEING STRANDED, BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE. THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING IT DUE TO NO SENSOR OR WARNING LIGHTS, THEN ONE DAY FOR A SPLIT SECOND THE ETC LIGHT FLASHED. IT'S NEVER FLASHED SINCE AND THE CAR WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING WHEN MY BOYFRIEND DROVE IT. LAST WEEK WHILE STOPPED, WAITING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON DRY PAVEMENT MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED. FINALLY LAST WEEK AS WELL MY BOYFRIEND FELT IT STARTED TEMPORARILY WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, ON THE FREEWAY. NOW IT HAS STARTED NOT STARTING. ALL ELECTRICAL WILL WORK, BUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AS FAR AS ENGINE. IT HAD ONLY DONE THAT COUPLE TIMES, NOW, TODAY IT DID IT FOUR TIMES IN 4 HOURS. THE FIFTH TIME IT STARTED TO TURN OVER, THEN DIED MID-TURNOVER AND WOULDN'T START AGAIN. IT SAYS THERE WAS ORIGINALLY A RECALL ON THIS AND A COUPLE OTHER YEARS PATRIOT, COMPASS AND SOME OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS. NOT SURE IF MINE WAS FIXED OR NOT NOW DUE TO THE PROBLEM ARISING AT THIS POINT IN TIME. I'VE ONLY HAD THE JEEP SINCE MAY 2015. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND I'LL BE TAKING IT IN HOPEFULLY NEXT WEEK BUT I HAVE A DEDUCTIBLE. 'IF' MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY COVERS IT, I'LL HAVE RENTAL COVERAGE WHICH IS BETTER THAN SOME OTHER PEOPLE'S STORIES I'VE READ. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING MORE RECENT ISSUES? MOST OF WHAT I'VE READ WAS FROM LAST YEAR SOMETIME. I'VE ALSO READ THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS BEING A MORE CURRENT ISSUE AND REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING.
