While driving on highway and city streets, car has completely shut down without warning or warning lights, no engine, no power steering no electrical anything. This is a death trap and serious bodily harm waiting to happen. Highly dangerous, especially on highway. This has happened at least 8 times and has been into the Jeep dealer 4 times to get fixed, to no avail. It keeps happening and is now back at the dealer. Last time, they replaced ABS module and bled system. Still didn't work. Lots of complaints of this online over many years. Date it happened is first time, but it is now in shop for the 4th time. 2016 Jeep Patriots were recalled for this very problem, but no other year. Why?!!!

...has there been a recall issued on the Jeep Patriot concerning the rear hatch allowing water into the rear latch causing the interior lights to remain on? my wife had this happen and the interior lights caused her problems with driving at night until the repair was made. My mechanic stated that he had to perform this fix on 5 Jeep within a month. I contacted Chrysler about this and the employee stated that they had several complaints about this as well...

Turning lights on in the car and the dash lights flash 5 - 6 times then go out. Doesn't matter if vehicle is stationary or moving when this occurs.headlights, radio & dome light still work as well as turn signals and 4-way flashers. When lights are on, I do not have any running lights, tail lights, interior dash lights or cup holder lights. Checked all fuses and all checked good. All indications point to bad totally integrated power module (tipm). Vehicle is 2 years old with no after market wiring. Not having running or tail lights is a big safety issue/concern.

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. While driving 20 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. Occasionally, the vehicle failed to start on the first attempt. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 38,000.

My car is 2 years old and my brake pads have been replaced three times in addition to new getting new rotors. Problems started occurring when I only had my car for 6 months and whenever I brake, it sounds like metal grinding on metal. Neither my dealership nor Jeep themselves have a reasonable explanation for this problem. It is completely unacceptable for a brand new car. In addition, my car has also had problems starting. Within the last two weeks, I have had two instances of trying to turn my car on and the battery came on, but the car did not make any attempt to turn-over. It took multiple attempts to actually get it started. Before now, my car has had a few instances where it takes a while for it to turn over, which it eventually did come on, but it was struggling and I could tell it was very weak.

On multiple occasions I have had trouble starting the Jeep. It appears to have power but the engine light comes on and the car won't start. I have taken it to the dealership for repair several times but they have been unable to accurately diagnose and repair the problem. The electrical problems are now getting worse. The Jeep has completely lost power while running and I've have also experience problems with unlocking the door. The throttle control warning has starting coming in during some of these episodes. Despite numerous attempts to resolve these issues through the dealership and directly through Chrysler, I still have a vehicle that is completely unsafe to drive. I have made the issues I'm experiencing well known. This vehicle should not be driven until the electrical problems are completely resolved. I'm shocked that Jeep/Chrysler would allow such an unsafe vehicle on the road.

2015 Jeep Patriot high altitude; complete power loss while driving @ 45 mph. Vehicle shut down and lost all power while in motion. While driving straight down a local road, my vehicle shut off & lost all power. The radio went off, my dashboard warning lights illuminated, all gauges went down as if the vehicle was in park & not in use. This vehicle is a danger on the roads. Dealership has said vehicle, but will not reveal if vehicle is infact defective. I purchased this vehicle in June 2015, brand new. This vehicle has been to the dealership for repair nearly 10 seperate times. This vehicle is unsafe & shut off on me while moving. There are many reports of " engine failure " for the 2015 Jeep Patriot. My vehicle is one of many that is unsafe, and shut off while in motion. Extremely dangerous. Fca llc, should have all 2015 Patriot Jeep recalled. They are building dangerous & potentially life threatening vehicles. Fca must be held accountable for a recall. Dealership has possession of my vehicle & it will not be driven by myself until they can duplicate the engine failure.

The second to the last day of hunting season my husband. And I went up above our house, about 15 miles, we were in light snow, and I could not get the throttle to engage caused us to slide back a little again tried to use throttle to go, my husband saw a wisp of smoke on passenger side, I immediately turned the engine off, my husband looks under where the smoke came from and the rack N pinion boot where on fire, I popped the hood, flames were to hot for him to open the hood. I walked down the road to safety, as my husband got out what he could of our belongings out and into the snow bank. And in that few minutes the flames were inside the cab and windows were exploding, next the tires and the paint etc.....the spare tire also blew from the back of the car. My husband left before the gas tank blew if it did we don't know. We had to walk 15 miles soaking wet. We are both disabled with neck and back injuries. This Jeep is our only vehicle. I would like to request an investigation. What worries us is that had someone been confined by wheel chair or children in a car seat this would have been a deadly accident.

I bought this car in mid Feb, but only one week after purchasing, the car can not start and was towed to the dealer. The dealer said the totally integrated power module has experienced an short and they have to replace a new one. I waited one week and the car is still in the dealer. I do not know how long I still need to wait.
