My car will pull to the right no matter what I do. Tires rotated, air filled, etc it always pulls to the right hard. My electrical system, lights and radio, flicked on and off by themselves one night and now my radio is dead and lights are dim.

My car has caught on fire with smoke at least 4 times, 3 times with my minor child inside of it. I have video to show you just how dangerous it is. All components of the vehicle have failed. I have put thousands of dollars into the vehicle and it only has 80,000 miles on it. My safety and my son and elderly mother's safety has been at extreme risk and my car is NOT SAFE TO OWN OR DRIVE. Carl Gregory, the dealer, never informed me EVER of a 2015 Jeep Patriot recall only three months after I purchased the vehicle while pregnant. The vehicle has been inspected/ worked on by Carl Gregory and now Southern Motors Jeep several times over the last 8 years located on Middleground Road at the corner of Abercorn Street in Savannah, Georgia. My insurance company has charged me to tow my vehicle at least six times as my son and I have been stranded all over the city waiting hours for a tow truck. There were no warning lamps on the vehicle prior to it catching fire and I have my car tuned regularly at Wal-Mart Automotive and cleaned at Montgomery Cross Roads Car Wash once a month. Today the engine stalled and I barely made it out of of the street which is highly dangerous for pedestrians and other drivers on the road. This is probably the 3rd time it has done that. The steering wheel stalls leaving me at the whim of an open road as my car goes out of control. The radio's electrical unit shut down two years ago and the back door does not open. I can't afford to fix those.The brakes were replaced approximately two years after owning it as the vehicle would not slow down during a red light (at the cost of $2,000). I had to veer right. Last November, the car was worked on and the clutch was replaced because it stopped working. One month ago we paid $600 for a new power steering hose to be replaced as it apparently was and continues to leak fluid. This has now been indicated on the dashboard as "hot oil". Currently, I love my car but my family and I are PETRIFIED AND TRAUMATIZED.

This car keeps shutting off and having overheating issues on and off while driving. I have replaced all pistons, fuel injectors, relays, gaskets, thermostats, hoses, and the catalytic converter. I've seen that over 60,000 cases have been reported about this issue with this vehicle and these vehicles are still being sold used at used car dealers despite the issues being unrepairable. This is a real safety issue as the car stops running with no warning no matter where you are driving. You can see all the same reports on multiple sites online. Why hasn't jeep done anything about this issue? I know I bought mine used but I'm sure the used car dealer would have never had this vehicle on their lot if it was recalled as it should have been.

Vehicle engine stopped while driving. This could lead to potential danger. Started about 1 year ago.

Over the past year, the car has had 4 crank position sensors, new pig tails/connectors on the wire harness, a new throttle body, and a new MCM. The Jeep will randomly shut off without warning either at stoplights/traffic or on the highway at speed. While at speed, the car will "restart" itself, but if it stalls while stagnant a manual restart is necessary. When the stalling occurs, warning lights do not appear on the dash. Lately, however; the crank position code P0339 has come up with the check engine light. I recently experienced a crank position sensor code followed by a cylinder 3 misfire which caused the car to go into limp mode. Once I replaced the MCM, the misfire went away. Most recently (today) the car stalled in the middle of an intersection while making a left turn; my [XXX] son was in the car with me. Since it was a stop light, the car was able to be restarted in time, but had it been a stop sign/non-stop oncoming traffic, the situation could have been much worse.

Stalling without warning, while driving, not throwing an engine code, shops don-??t know what-??s wrong. Checked every possible reason. Because of unknown failure car will die on freeway, stop lights, leaving an intersection. Very dangerous

- Bellingham, WA, USA

My truck goes into a code where the electric throttle control light, the engine light, and the tire traction light comes on. When the vehicle does this it reduces the speed to 35 no matter what or where you are. When you ho get the engine light checked, the code says it's a suction problem ???". Jeep started doing this in the colder weather than progressed to every other week

- Lake Charles, LA, USA

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that air conditioning system was blowing hot air throughout the vehicle. Additionally, there was a coolant leak. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer three times and was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the air compressor unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000.

I have purchased a 2015 Jeep Patriot from Sunrise car dealer it has been 3 months now I took it back to the dealer they couldn't find anything wrong with it the car cut off in the middle of traffic in the middle of the expressway with a big 18-wheeler behind me scared me to death. I can see why they sold it to me without any warranty. I took it to a car repairment person ran a test on it couldn't find anything wrong with it. No codes were found, we took the car for a ride in the air and the radio didn't cut him off but as soon as I got back in it down the road it cut off again several times before I made it home. Please tell me if I can take the car back and trade it in for another car. Help

Two issues- First one the vehicle engine tends to randomly sputter like there is a dead cylinder. Which I have found by adding electric jell to the spark plug connector will make the problem go away for a short time. Second one now in the rear transfer case is marking a grinding noise and is getting louder.

- Cloquet, MN, USA

The vehicles rpms drop to zero and then almost stalls out but picks up again and sometimes dies completely and you have to wait to restart the vehicle. No codes are available when it stalls out. It happens almost every day and sometimes multiple times a day

***vehcile was purchased January 2021. Later found out the 2015 Jeep Patriot I purchased had 5 previous owners...making me the 6th owner.*** Sept 2021 I was driving during rush hour on busy las vegas city street when out of nowhere and no warning my 2015 Jeep Patriot lost power...3 dashboard lights came on (lightning bolt/check engine light/traction control). I was able to coast into a hotel parking lot after crossing 3 lanes of traffic. Once parked, I shut the vehicle off, waited about 10-15 seconds tried restarting it again and to no avail the problem persisted. Had the car towed to mechanic shop where they determined/diagnosised the problem to be the throttle body and it needed to be replaced. Car was no longer under warranty so I had to come out of pocket almost $1000. All this during the covid 19 pandemic. When I picked up the vehicle from the mechanic they informed me the traction control light is still on because my rack/pinion was damaged so my alignment is out of whack. They allowed me to drive off with my vehicle even when the alignment being screwed up. When driving my vehicle home, I was so scared because it felt like my vehicle wanted to go in every direction at the same time. The next day I took my vehicle to big O tires to have them test the alignment. After they re-aligned the Jeep it ran perfect. But I spoke to soon...just after 1 week, im now starting to experience more issues...car accelerating on its own, hesitation when trying to take off from red light, back firing from either the tail pipe or under the hood (almost seems like the engine is being flooded out with to much gas), my gas mileage has gotten worse. This vehicle should be recalled!!!

Throttle conrol sensor redlightning bolt on dash, after jeep seemed to loose power.check engine light. Available upon request. Had to drive home with virtually no exceleration with hazzards on due to unusual dangerous circumstances. Jeep problem not confirmed by dealer. Needs to be towed, for fear of safety. Disheartened, and without a vehicle hoping this can be affordable to fix or fixable at all.

For the past several months we are having trouble with the computer issue with this vehicle. We took it to a repair shop and they confirmed, in fact one of the mechanics had the very same problem, that the computer is malfunctioning. Here is what is happening...the car won't start and as you turn the key it just hesitates and you pray it will start. The A/C won't come on...the clock on the dash does not show the correct time...the "bell" dings when you exit the vehicle even though there is no key in the ignition, the lights have been turned off, etc. It won't stop dinging until you shut the door. Also, the rear window defogger indicator light is flashing like warning you to turn it off. Also, the CD player won't eject a CD. Then come a few days later and none of this happens. It is always a gamble when you get in the Jeep wondering if it will start. I feel, since this has happened to other Jeeps, there should be a recall on this particular situation.

My Jeep Patriot will stall out on me unexpectedly while driving. I have had thousands of work done on it just for it to continue to happen. No shop has been able to figure out what is wrong due to no code showing up. It has been overheating on me and has been causing me to throw away a lot of money. I am very upset about this and the fact that there is nothing happening and all of these complaints is ridiculous!!

Electronic throttle control keeps acting up. The light flashes on as it loses power then it will run fine for a little bit and do it again. There is no code. I keep getting hesitations in the Jeep. It will hiccup along the highway or as I try to accelerate. There is no specific time when it happens. I have already had the wire harness replaced in my Jeep a year ago.

I was driving on a busy road and without any warning my Jeep just stalled. I lost all engine power, power steering and brakes. I pulled over to the side ofvthe road. I put car in park and turned the key to off position. Tried to restart and it would not, but continued to try to start by itself. Which in turn killed the battery. I had to have the car towed to the dealership. This happened today which is a Saturday and maybe they will get to look at it on Monday. This really scared me as I was almost rear ended. Thank god my daughter was not with me as it was only 5 degrees and snowing.

My daughter was driving in motion in her 2015 Patriot when simultaneously the electronic throttle control light, check engine and traction control icons all came on. Suddenly the car started to lose power and jerking slowly back and forth. She was able to get it to a Firestone and the service tech said it looks like failure to the throttle control. This should be looked at carefully since the driver loses control with no power of the vehicle in the middle of the road. Many people report this same problem on carproblemzoo.com

I bought my 2015 Jeep Patriot on July 4, 2020. Every since I've had my truck, there has been problems. I have taken my truck to 4 mechanics and they can't seem to find a problem. Also the dealership that I got the truck from has not even tried to contact me back about them fixing it for me. I'm stuck with a vehicle that doesn't work at this point.

Vehicle hesitates while accelerating on flat or inclined ground. The electronic throttle control (etc) indicator light will come during the hesitation and go off when power resumes. See attached photo for reference. On more than one occasion the red light has come on and the car has gone into limp mode. When this happens the traction an check engine light will come on. The car can be turned off and back on and this occasionally clears it. At times an obd-II computer must be used to clear the codes and then resume driving. This has happened sporadically since 2018.
