POWER TRAIN
MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT THE END OF MAY 2019, I HAVE GONE TO MY BANK TO GET A LOAN TO HAVE IT FIXE AND UPON TALKING TO MY LOAN OFFICER HE INFORMED ME THAT W.IN 150 MILE RADIUS THERE HAS BEEN 14 LOANS TO HAVE TRANSMISSIONS FIXED ON HOW MANY HAS THERE BEEN IN THE STATE OF WI, IN THE WHOLE JEEP COMMUNITY? THERE WAS NO GIVEN WARNING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM W/ OUR JEEP, IT JUST STOPPED WORKING AS MY SON WAS ABOUT TO GO TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING. IT MOVED ABOUT 5 FT AND THAT WAS ABOUT IT, NOTHING MORE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG W/ THIS VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE TRANSMISSION STOPPING. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? JEEP IS A MONEY MAKER, I KNOW THERE A MANY FACTORS IN RECALLS BUT I FIND THAT THIS IS A MALFUNCTION IN THE PRODUCT ITSELF.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THREE TIMES OUR 2011 JEEP PATRIOT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING BROKE THEN WENT INTO LIMP MODE. WE WERE ON A BUSY FREEWAY TWICE AND GETTING READY TO GET ON ONCE. AFTER CALLING GOOD SAM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK TO A MECHANIC. WE HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AT 2 DIFFERENT TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT GET ANY CODES ON IT. A FEW YEARS BACK WHEN ON A DIFFERENT INCIDENT WE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND ENDED UP REPLACING THE CONTROL MODULE WHICH FIXED IT. THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT. I WAS DONE AFTER THREE TIMES. WE ENDED UP TRADING IT IN FOR A NEW HONDA CRV. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP AGAIN. WE ARE SURPRISED THEY NEVER RECALLED THE PROBLEM WITH THE CONTROL MODULE. I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS AND PROOF

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY SON IN THE CAR, THE CAR SHUDDERED, LOST ALL POWER AND THE POWERING STEERING MUST HAVE GONE AS I COULD ONLY TURN THE WHEEL WITH EXTREME FORCE ENOUGH TO COAST OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CAR THEN CRANKED BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. DROVE SLOWLY HOME. WAS TAKING THE VERY NEXT MORNING TO HAVE SERVICE DONE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THERE IS NO WAY TO NOTIFY THE CARS BEHIND YOU THAT YOU HAVE NO POWER OR CONTROL. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHICH I HAVE READ IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THE 2016 WAS RECALLED FOR THIS AS A CHURCH FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT HIS. I'M WONDERING WITH THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED WHY ONLY THE 2016 HAS BEEN RECALLED. MY FATHER IS A MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE HAS NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE.
