ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I'M DRIVING AND LET OFF THE GAS TO COAST, GO AROUND CURVES, OR UPHILL;, MY JEEP SEEMS TO CUTOUT, SKIP, OR PUTTER AS I ACCELERATE AGAIN. IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. IT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. AND OF COURSE I WAS 3,000 MILES OVER MY WARRANTY WHEN IT STATED HAPPENING.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE SEEMS TO SPUTTER, STALL, JERK, REV THE RPM AT RANDOM WHEN DRIVING. IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 OR IN A NEIGHBORHOOD GOING 25 WHILE DRIVING OR STARTING TO GO FROM A STOP. IT WILL JERK REALLY HARD LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT BUT NO LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH TO INDICATE SOMETHING IS WRONG AND I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES AND THEY TELL ME IT IS NORMAL, I'VE NEVER HAD ANY VEHICLE BEHAVE THIS WAY EXCEPT WHEN I WAS 15 LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THAT WASN'T THE FAULT OF THE VEHICLE. IT ALSO WILL WHILE IN PARK RANDOMLY REV THE RPMS WHEN NOTHING IS BEING USED IN THE VEHICLE, IF I THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND BACK TO PARK IT USUALLY SETTLES DOWN BUT NOT ALWAYS, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO SHUT IT OFF AND BACK ON. THE JERKING AND SPUTTERING WHILE DRIVING HAS GOTTEN A LOT WORSE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS IT WOULD RANDOMLY DO IT BUT IT HAPPENS MORE AND MORE NOW EVERY TIME I DRIVE AND I AM CONSCERNED THAT ONE DAY IT WILL STALL OUT AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I HAVE INQUIRED MANY TIMES ABOUT THIS TO NO AVAIL FROM 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
IN JULY 2020, I WAS DRIVING, AND MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WENT TO JEEP, IN RENO, NV, WHICH DIAGNOSED IT AS A CAMSHAFT SENSOR ERROR; IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED BUT NOT CRITICAL. TECH RESET SENSOR, AND SAID IF IT COMES ON AGAIN, WE SHOULD SET A DATE FOR REPAIR. ON SEPT 3, 6:40PM, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, COMING OUT OF AN INTERCHANGE, MY CAR SHUT DOWN! EVERYTHING. LUCKILY, CLOSE ENOUGH, I COASTED OFF TO THE RIGHT AND TOOK THE FIRST EXIT, BRAKED HARD, AND CAME TO STOP. COULDN'T RESTART. ORDERED A TOW. TEN MIN LATER, TRIED AGAIN, THE CAR STARTED, AND DROVE IT 3 MILES HOME @ 25 MPH. HIT 30MPH, IT KINDA 'CHUNKED', AND I WENT BACK TO 24-25MPH. SEPT 4, I TOOK TO LITHIA JEEP, AGAIN. LEFT IT WITH THEM. THEY CALLED ME LATER, AND SAID IT WAS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL COST: $700. THEY KEPT IT OVER THE LABOR DAY WEEKEND, AND WILL FIX & RETURN, SEPT 8, 2020. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE; DISCOVERED A RECALL FOR JEEP PATRIOT'S MANUFACTURED MAY-JULY 2016. TODAY, SEPT 7, CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER RECALL DEPT, REGARDING THE S89 RECALL, LEARNED MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED JAN 15, 2016, AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL S89. MY VEHICLE, SAME MAKE/MODEL, WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AS IN THE RECALL. THE AGENT SAID I HAVE TO GET THE DEALER TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE IS THE SAME AS THE RECALL; THEN REQUEST A REVIEW BY THE JEEP DEALER'S REGIONAL SUPERVISOR, WHO, IF APPROVES, ALLOWS ME TO SUBMIT PAPERWORK, TO REQUEST CHRYSLER PAY ALL BILLS RELATED TO ISSUE, BACK TO THE JULY 2020 CAMSHAFT SENSOR ISSUE, UP TO AND INCLUDING THE REPAIR OF BOTH THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR, AND THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. THIS SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF FOOTWORK FOR ME, LET ALONE ALL THE PAPERWORK TO SUBMIT FOR, HOPEFULLY, PAYMENT AFTER THE FACT, FOR WORK RELATED TO A RECALL. CAN YOU STEP IN AND HELP? CAN YOU ADD MORE VEHICLES MANUFACTURE DATES TO THE RECALL, TO INCLUDE MINE?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THERE IS A DELAY IN STARTING THEN WHEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE JERKS OR STALLS LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE. ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION DO NOT SEEM TO MAKE IT STOP OR FIX THE ISSUE. OCCASIONALLY WHEN GOING UP HILL THE VEHICLE WILL HIT 4RPM LIKE IT IS UNABLE TO SHIFT AND NEITHER ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION FIX THE ISSUE EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER CLIMBING THE HILL. THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON AND NO CODES TO BE READ. I HAVE TRIED GAS TREATMENT AND TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND 2 MECHANICS AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY IT IS DOING IT OR HOW TO STOP IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT DOWN THE ROAD AT MORE THEN 20MPH AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT DOES IT WITH NO LIGHT OR ANY INDICATION THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG. I BELIEVE IT'S COMPLETELY ELECTRICAL BUT I'M TAKING IT IN TO THE MECHANICS TOMORROW. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY WHEN IT STALLED ON ME THANKFULLY I WAS ON THE SLOW LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE BUT NOT BEFORE SOMEONE ALMOST REAR ENDING ME.
