STRUCTURE:BODY
IN THE CITY OF KALAMAZOO MICHIGAN, I WAS DRIVING AND MADE IT OVER A CHUNK OF ICE(THE ICE BUILD UP FROM THE PLOW TRUCKS.) IT WAS SIMILAR TO THE WAY TAKING A SPEED BUMP TO FAST WOULD FEEL. WHILE I WAS GOING NO MORE THAN 30MPH OVER THIS CHUNK/BUMP WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CRACK THAT DID NOT SOUND GOOD AND AFTER THAT MY VEHICLE COULD NOT STEER BECAUSE THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED THROUGH MAKING IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE BEFORE I HAD TO PULL OVER.

ENGINE
CHECKENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON A BACK ROAD. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK DONE, BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE NOT ONE BUT TWO CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND MY FRONT CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS BAD AND NEEDS REPLACED. PER THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PATRIOTS AND MANY HAVE BEEN RECALLED, JUST NOT MINE, HOW CAN THIS BE?I LOST POWER FOR A BIT, CUT CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON, SMELL EGGS AND BURN A LOT OF GASOLINE

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
12/12/19 TRIED TO GET ON I-295 ALL LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON INCLUDING MALFUNCTION INDICATOR, ESP BAS, AND OTHERS ALL CAME ON WHEN NO LIGHTS WERE ON BEFORE. LOST POWER TO JEEP ON 295 COULD NOT GO ANY FAST THEN 25 MPH AND THEN STALLED; ALMOST REAR ENDED. COULD RESTART JEEP, ALL DASH LIGHTS STILL ON, NO POWER PAST 25 MPH AND MADE IT OFF AN OFF RAMP WHERE STALLED AGAIN. TOWED JEEP TO MECHANIC WHERE THEY REPLACED PCM, INTAKE MANIFOLD, AND O2 CENSOR. CALLED JEEP BECAUSE THERE IS A RECALL TO PCM AND WAS TOLD MY VIN NOT INCLUDED. 12/26/2019 ON I-295 GOING 70MPH AND JEEP LOST ALL POWER WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS THIS TIME AND HAD NO ACCELERATION. WAS IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND HAD NEAR MISS OF BEING REAR ENDED BY TRACTOR TRAILER. VEERED JEEP TO BREAKDOWN LANE AND TOWED TO MECHANIC. SECOND MECHANIC REPAIRED GROUND AT G104 ON RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE BAY SAID IS REASON FOR SEVERAL COMPUTERISED CONTROLS. 1/7/2020 PUT FULL TANK OF GAS IN VEHICLE AND PULLED INTO INTERSECTION AND JEEP BUCKED AND STALLED OUT. CALLED MECHANIC SAID POSSIBLE FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM. JEEP PATRIOTS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH PCM AND FUEL PROBLEMS BUT AM TOLD MY 2009 JEEP NOT A PART OF THIS RECALL. JEEP IS STILL NOT RUNNING PROPERLY AND WILL NOT DRIVE ON HIGHWAY. VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY EXPANSIVE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AUTOMATIC JEEP, HAS DIFFICULTY SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN GOING A SLOWER SPEED (I.E. TURNING A CORNER, IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH STOP-AND-GO SPEEDS), BUT DOES DO IT AT HIGHER SPEEDS (EX. 60 MPH TO 70 MPH). IT DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE ISSUES WHEN DOWN SHIFTING. THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY NOTICEABLE LURCH/SHUTTER WHEN IT IS ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR AND WILL DO IT REPEATEDLY IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN A WHILE BEFORE IT WILL OCCUR, I DRIVE IT ABOUT 20 MILES BEFORE IT STARTS EXHIBITING THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS MOST FRIGHTENING IN CITY/RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THE VEHICLE MIGHT STOP RUNNING ALL TOGETHER. THE VEHICLE ALSO SEEMS TO STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT UP HILLS, AS IF IT DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE THE CLIMB OF EVEN A SMALL HILL. THE RPM GAUGE REALLY JUMPS UP HIGH TO ABOUT 5-6 WHEN CLIMBING A SMALL HILL OR ACCELERATING 5-10 MPH TO PASS SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ISSUE STARTED BEFORE THE VEHICLE HAD REACHED 60,000 MILES. FILTERS AND OIL HAVE BEEN CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES AND FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE GAS SEVERAL TIMES, NONE OF THESE MEASURES HAVE CHANGED THE PERFORMANCE ISSUE OF THE VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AND IT TURNED OFF ON HER TWICE TRYING TO GET IT BACK HOME. ALL ELECTRICAL WENT OUT AND ENGINE STALLED. AFTER THE SECOND TIME IT ONLY GOES 10 MPH AND STILL STALLS AND POWERS OFF. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I FEEL SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
A FEW MONTHS AGO MY VEHICLE STARTED TO RANDOMLY STALL AND JERK. WE THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. THEN A FEW WEEKS AGO MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A WARNING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE FUEL CAP. A FEW DAYS LATER ALL OF THAT STOPPED COMING ON. YESTERDAY AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD SEVERAL LIGHTS CAME ON FOR THE STABILITY CONTROL AND THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. I WAS GOING UP A HILL AND MY VEHICLE BARELY MADE IT UP THE HILL. I GOT BACK TO MY DRIVEWAY TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE. I'VE MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM, BUT THIS CAME OUT OF NO WHERE. I HAVEN'T TRIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR SAFETY REASONS.

POWER TRAIN
OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS, THE JEEP PATRIOT WILL STUTTER WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT TWICE AND HE BELIEVES THAT THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. ONCE I GOT ONLINE, I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE THE THE CVT TRANSMISSION USED IN THESE VEHICLES. ADDITIONALLY, JEEP MUST KNOW THAT THE CVT IS FLAWED, BECAUSE THEY STOPPED THE USE OF IT IN 2014.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
OUR 2015 JEEP PATRIOT 4WD IS SHUTTING OFF RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING IT!! IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT WILL JUST RANDOMLY SHIFT OFF WITHOUT WARNING! ALL THE LIGHTS WILL TURN ON THEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC!! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT IS PUTTING NOT ONLY OUR LIVES AT RISK FOR A CRASH BUT ALSO THOSE DRIVERS AROUND US AS WELL. ONCE THE CAR SHUTS ITSELF OFF IT WILL NOT TURN ON FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO LEAVING US STRANDING SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC EVEN!! WE HAVE A 4 YEAR OLD THAT IS IN THE CAR WITH US MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING AS WELL AND IS PUTTING HER LIFE AT RISK OF A SERIOUS CRASH AS WELL!! THE 2016 JEEP PATRIOT HAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM THAT OUR 2015 IS HAVING! IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS NOW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME AND HAS REMAINED ON. I AM BEING TOLD I NEED A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER BUT THE DEALERSHIP AND CRYSTLER CUSTOMER SERVICE ARE ALL CONFUSED AS TO WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT SHOWING UP UNDER A RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
BLOWER MOTOR FOR HVAC FAILS WITHOUT NOTICE ON ALL SPEEDS. RESULTS IN "FOGGY" WINDSHIELD AND LACK OF DEFROST FEATURE AND DE-ICE FEATURES. THIS CAN RESULT IN THE VEHICLE RESTRICTING VISION WHILE DRIVING OR CAUSE THE DRIVER TO BEGIN A TRIP ONLY TO REALIZE THAT THEY CAN'T SEE. IN RAPIDLY CHANGING CLIMATES - THE FAILURE OF THE BLOWER MOTOR MAY RESULT IN SUDDEN AND UNPLANNED RESTRICTED VISION. ISSUE APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AS A TESTED FAILURE POINT. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS WITHIN THE JEEP COMMUNITY HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR FAILURES ACROSS MANY MODELS OF JEEP PRODUCTS BASED ON RESEARCH. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I GAS UP BELOW A QUARTER OF A TANK MY JEEP STALLS OUT AND STEERING LOCKS UP COMPLETELY IN THE SPAN OF A SECOND SO I HAVE NO TIME TO MOVE OVER. IF I GAS UP AT AROUND A QUARTER OR ABOVE IT LURCHES REALLY BAD SEVERAL TIMES FOR NEXT FEW MINUTES THEN RUNS FINE UNTIL GASSING UP AGAIN THEN REPEAT. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE FIFTEEN MINUTES AWAY TO GAS UP AND DRIVE THE BACK ROADS TO LET IT RUN IT'S COURSE SO IF I STALL I WON'T GET KILLED. IT IT SUPPOSEDLY THE VALVE ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK RESULTING IN THE WHOLE THING NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS ALMOST GOTTEN ME KILLED AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS WHO I'VE SEEN DISCUSSING THE ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND GET THIS RECALLED!

THE GAS TANK CAN NOT BE FILLED AT THE GAS PUMP WITHOUT REDUCING THE FLOW TO THE MINIMUM LEVEL. AS A RESULT IT TAKE 20 MINUTES TO PUT 10 GALLONS IN THE GAS TANK. THIS IS DANGEROUS LATE AT NIGHT OR IN BAD WEATHER. THIS ISSUE STARTED IN OCTOBER AND IS GETTING WORSE.
