ENGINE
AT THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THE ENGINE STALLING, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, BUT SLOWING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE NEXT INSTANCE OF THE VEHICLE STALLING, IT WAS STOPPED. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, BUT TRIED TO RESTART ON ITS OWN. AFTER RESETTING THE IGNITION KEY, AND WAITING ABOUT 3 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE STARTED...AND REMAINED IN A RUNNING STATE UNTIL WE ARRIVED AT HOME. THE NEXT TIME THE VEHICLE WAS USED, IT WAS STARTED VIA THE KEY FOB. IT STARTED, AND WITHIN 15 SECONDS, THE CAR SHUT DOWN. LATER THAT DAY, WE TOOK IT TO A VALVOLINE OIL CHANGE FACILITY, WHERE THEY CHECKED FOR ENGINE CODES VIA THE OBD PORT. AND ERROR OF "CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR" WAS NOTED. LATER THAT DAY, WHILE PULLING IN TO A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ATTEMPTED A RESTART ON ITS OWN. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (AT AROUND 60 MPH), THE ENGINE STALLED AND ATTEMPTED A RESTART 4 TIMES (ON ITS OWN). IT RESTARTED, AND STAYED THAT WAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP HOME. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, THERE IS A RECALL (S89) ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE, BUT THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE IS OUT OF RANGE WITH OUR VEHICLE, OR DOES NOT APPLY TO THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE VERSION (WHICH WE HAVE).

AS I AM DRIVING, WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR SIT IN TRAFFIC MY CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG ON THE DASHBOARD. I CAN'T BRAKE NOR ACCELERATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. MECHANIC DOESN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG BUT IT HAPPENS ATLEAST 3 TIMES A MONTH. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN ON A HIGHWAY OR VERY BUSY BOULEVARD. I'VE ALMOST CRASHED EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS WHILE MY DAUGHTER IS IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND/OR STALLS WHILE DRIVING, EVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS. VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN STOPPED. I HAD TO LET CAR SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART. LOST ACCELERATION AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY AFTER TURNING A CORNER AND BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE. YOU PRESS ON THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THIS ALSO HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH. LUCKILY IT KICKED BACK IN. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR PATRIOT S89 FOR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, WHICH WAS THE EXACT PROBLEM ON MY PATRIOT. I INFORMED THE DEALER OF THIS RECALL WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. HE SAID IT WASN'T APPLICABLE TO MY VEHICLE AND WOULDN'T KEEP THE PAPERWORK I GAVE HIM FOR THE RECALL. THE DEALER, HOWEVER, TOLD ME IT WAS THE ABS SYSTEM AND CHARGED ME TO REPLACE IT AND THEN ENDED UP REPLACING THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AFTER THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENED ON THE TEST DRIVE AFTER REPLACING ABS. THE PATRIOT STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY. IF THE DEALER WOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME AND DONE THE TEST DRIVE FIRST, THEY WOULD HAVE DISCOVERED THE ISSUE RIGHT AWAY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. LUCKILY I DIDN'T GET HIT ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH WHAT FEELS LIKE MY ENGINE IS STALLING AND ABOUT TO SEIZE AND MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE RISES. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO ISSUES WITH ANY HOSES, RADIATOR OR COOLANTS AS I'VE RECENTLY HAD AN OIL CHANGE. DESPITE WHEN EVER I TRAVEL ON THE HIGHWAY THIS ISSUE OCCURS. I TRAVEL THE NJ PARKWAY 5 DAYS A WEEK FOR WORK AND I FEAR THAT THE CAR WILL SHUTDOWN AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH WHEN MY WIFE HAD A RED LIGHTING BOLT APPEAR ON THE DASH BOARD, AT WHICH TIME THE POWER DROPPED OFF. SHE HAD TO MOVE ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER. ONCE IT WAS ON THE SHOULDER, SHE CALLED ME IN A PANIC. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT HOW TO RESET THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY EXPERIENCE. I CALLED JEEP DEALERSHIP AND TO MY SURPRISE THEY WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE INTERNET WAS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO HAD THIS VERY ISSUE. I CALL THEIR CORPORATE SERVICE LINE AND THEY CONFIRMED NO SAFETY RECALL EXISTS. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT CONFIRM WHETHER THEY WOULD OR WOULD NOT SELF REPORT THIS ISSUE. *TR
