POWER TRAIN
ON A ROAD TRIP THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS NOT HOT OUTSIDE AND THE ENGINE TEMPERATE GAUGE DID NOT INDICATE OVERHEATING. AS SOON AS THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND STALL. IT WAS VERY SCARY AS WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH VEHICLES TRAVELING 70 MPH OR MORE. WE COULD OF BEEN HIT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I FEEL JEEP/ CHRYSLER SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS SINCE MY PASSENGER AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 72,000 MILES AND THIS IS ALREADY THE SECOND TIMES IT DOES THIS AND ALSO THE ACTUATORS ARE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. I AM AT THE POINT OF JUST CONSIDERING A TRADE IN AND DODGING ALL THESE ISSUES WITH A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT EVEN HAVE 75K ON IT. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD DO AT 100,000 MILES.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
RECEIVED NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016 THAT THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER WAS FAULTY AND WOULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF AIRBAG OR SEATBELT PRETENSIONER IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. I HAVE CONTACTED FCA THROUGH THEIR WEBSITE AS WELL AS CALLED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER (JIM CLICK AUTO MALL) AND ARE TOLD ONLY THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. A YEAR AND NO PARTS IS NOT FIXING A PROBLEM THAT COULD LEAD TO DEATH IN A "TIMELY MANNER".

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON REFILLING THE GAS TANK TO FULL FROM NEAR EMPTY, THE CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY STUTTER AND OCCASIONALLY STALL FOR UP TO FIVE MINUTES. I DISCOVERED THIS UPON PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE TURNING OFF. THIS LED TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING AS WELL. OTHER CARS HAD TO IMMEDIATELY DIVERT OR COLLIDE INTO MY CAR. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR DID THIS THREE MORE TIMES WITHIN 2 MILES. NO EMERGENCY LIGHTS OR WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF. THIS IS ALLEGEDLY A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM AND THE ENGINE IS "CHOKING" DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES NOW.

SAFETY RISK: THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY IN SUCH CRASH EVENTS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A CRASH.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY STREET. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GAIN SPEED AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND WAS THEN ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND SAID THE CAR WAS FIXED WITHOUT GIVING MUCH OF AN EXPLANATION. I HAD THE CAR BACK FOR 2 DAY AND IT HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN TWICE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR AN ADDITIONAL WEEK WITH NO DIAGNOSIS. THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED TO DRIVE THE CAR AS THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON THREE OCCASIONS ON BUSY STREETS AND IT IS VERY DANGERS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE IT BANG TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND BUCKED AS I ATTEMPTED TO MOVE IT FORWARD. THE CAR HAS FEWER THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED PER THE DEALERS DIAGNOSTICS. THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND, FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, IS A COMMON ISSUE. I HOPE THIS RESULTS IN A RECALL AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS HAD IT HAPPENED ONCE I WAS TRAVELING.
