ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, AS DID THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS AND THE ACCELERATOR CUT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS 3 LANES TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND APPARENTLY MY 2016 PATRIOT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE, MECHANIC NOTED THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER WAS RUSTED AND, SHOULD IT BREAK, MY TIRES WOULD FOLD IN AND ENGINE WOULD FALL OUT. JEEP RECALLED THOSE PART ON ITS 2007 PATRIOTS, BUT NOT ON 2008, DESPITE WHAT SEEMS TO BE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CRUCIAL PART RUSTING PREMATURELY. I CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY TOLD ME THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IN 2017 (THE YEAR WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS IS A DIRE MATTER OF SAFETY AND IT'S SHAMEFUL THAT JEEP WON'T LIFT A FINGER TO REPLACE THESE PARTS. REPAIR ESTIMATES ARE $1300-1500 FOR A VEHICLE VALUED BY KBB AT LESS THAN $500.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH A 'FILL UP', UPON STARTING AND DRIVING, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO START 'BUCKING' AND LOSE POWER TO ACCELERATE. I LOOKED THIS UP AND SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM THAT EITHER DO NOT FILL THEIR TANKS ALL THE WAY ANYMORE OR CORRECTED IT BY REPLACING THEIR TANK SINCE THEY SAY THIS IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN WHEN FUEL GETS PULLED INTO A CANISTER OR CONTAINER THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PUSH OUT VAPOR BUILD UP ONLY, BUT PULLS FUEL BACK IN AND CHOKES OUT. DON'T KNOW IF I AM CORRECT ON THIS LANGUAGE SINCE ONLY GOING BY WHAT OTHER PEOPLE POST. PLEASE HAVE JEEP LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY HAZARD AND RECALL IF NECESSARY SO I DO NOT HAVE TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE A TANK. THANK YOU.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS & VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. FORCED TO PULL OFF THE ROADSIDE TO WAIT UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. ITS HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THERE WAS BARELY ANY SHOULDER ALONG THE HIGHWAY, I THOUGHT MY GRANDDAUGHTER & I WERE GOING TO BE KILLED. IVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MUTLIPLE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASING IT FROM DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HAD NO RESOLVE. ON ONE OCCASION THE JEEP HAD BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A MONTH NOW AND ALL THEY KEPT TELLING ME IS THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. CURRENT SITUATION - LAST MONTH (MARCH) I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE JEEP OVER 20 MPH. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING THIS AND I CAN'T GET ANYONE TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER IF THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE TRANSMISSION. I AM ANGRY AT THIS POINT. WE'VE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE WE PURCHASED IT NOW I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND I WORK IN HEALTHCARE. I THINK THIS MAY FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW. IT MIGHT BE TIME TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY. PLEASE HELP

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STARTED DROPPING TO 0 RPM DURING DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND SITUATIONS (SOME 30MPH, SOME 60MPH, SOME TURNING, SOME GOING STRAIGHT, BUT NEVER STALLED WHILE STOPPED) ON AND OFF FOR A WEEK WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR FAULT CODES PRESENT. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 8 MONTHS PREGNANT GOING 65MPH THE JEEP STALLED OUT AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT SHOWED UP AS A CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAULT, WE REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND NOW IT IS STUCK IN TIP START MODE AND WILL NOT START! THIS IS THE 3RD BRAND SENSOR THAT HAS BEEN TRIED. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2016 RECALL ISSUE (SAFETY RECALL S89 / NHTSA 16V-907 CRANKSHAFT CAMSHAFT SENSOR WIRE HARNESS) THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS SAFETY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOT HAVING REOCCURRING SIMILAR ISSUES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS IS A 1 OWNER PURCHASED BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN CARED FOR PROPERLY AND HAS HAD MORE ISSUES THAN A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD. STALLING OUT AT 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHILE 8 MONTHS PREGNANT COULD OF KILLED ME AND MY UNBORN CHILD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
