The car would hesitate when accelerating and slow down to a very low speed before bucking and thrusting until the speed would increase. The slowness was slow enough on a highway to almost cause an accident.

I was going uphill on a rural road when my car powered down and the rpms dropped down to 0. it kicked right back in, it happened one more time on my way home through the city. When I got into my driveway, before I could come to a complete stop it dropped rpms and powered down. After a half an hour I went out to head to a dr. Appt and my Jeep wouldn't start.

The vehicle shudders/ lags during acceleration. More specifically during stops when trying to accelerate. This does not happen all the time. When the vehicle has been on the road for a considerable amount of time it will do the same in an upwards of 50 miles an hour on the highway shuddering at different times. I am unsure what caused this problem, I just bought the car back in November 2018 with 42K miles on it. I haven't even put 10K miles on this vehicle and it is acting strangely. Another issue with this car is the ABS and stability control sensor keeps malfunctioning. It keeps coming loose from the sensor that connects to the tire and unfortunately most people are told their ABS system needs to be replaced and that's not the issue. I think the shudder/lag issue should be listed as a recall for my vehicle and a broader range of other Jeep because this seems to be a standard issue with Jeep Patriots 2016 models.

- El Campo, TX, USA

While driving on a residential road my car stopped without indication, I pressed on the pedal but it wouldn't go. I turned off the car and restarted it right away and it came back on. The next time it was on the highway, everything on the car was still running but the gas pedal wouldn't do anything and it just stopped. I tried restarting the car but it wouldn't turn back on. The car made a loud stuttering noise like it wanted to start but it wouldn't turn on. All the lights on the dash flickered off and on the whole time while trying to restart it. I was finally able to get it back on after about 2-3 minutes of trying to restart it. I found a recall on the crankshaft sensor which causes the engine to stall but I checked my VIN and it shows that there isn't a recall associated with my VIN. The recall with Chrysler is S89.

While driving the car runs rough. I've scanned the car and no codes come up. I was driving and the etc light flashed and it felt like the time went out. I was afraid that my car went out of time. While driving and shifting the transmission sometimes slips out of gear prematurely. I was driving straight when all of these problems happened.

- Laurel, MD, USA

Vehicle started slipping in gear. Within day and a half of first signs of gear not catching, the vehicle grinds down the clutch and no longer went stationary and no longer would drive. Only has 49000 miles. Driven three vehicles in 20 years with MA ual transmission and never had problems like this. At the dealership where they won't honor agreed to terms of extended warranty so can't get pics

- Sahuarita, AZ, USA

Tire pressure sensor light has been on since car was bought new, had it checked by dealer and they said it would go off after driven a few miles. Engine light came on around 50K miles and before I could get it checked it went off. I was told the only way the computer could detect the problem was if the light was on. It has came on and gone back off several times. Now it has came on at 90K miles and the I had it checked and was told I had a bad crankshaft sensor and a bad camshaft sensor. Now the transmission has started slipping at 90K miles. I'm also on my 3rd set of tires on the front because the front end will not stay aligned

- Whiteville, NC, USA

I am driving the Jeep is on the highway, doing 60 mph one week after I had bought the Jeep in May 2016 and it automatically started going faster on it's own, with the RPM indicator going clockwise. It would not slow down on its own so I had to drive to the access road and put emergency brake on. Once I was able to start the vehicle again it reset itself and performed normally. This has occurred 5 times since I have owned it, including July 25, 2018 when it happened again last week. Last year I had it checked and was told a sensor light was out, so they "fixed" it. It is still happening. The dashboard indicators are constantly flashing. They told me they reset them also. It is still occurring, also

While driving slowly (~10 mph) sb I prepared to make a right-turn (wb), in the only lane that turns right. As I neared the intersection the light turned green, enabling me and the (1) lane on my left to go (it goes sb). No car was ahead of me (to turn). The street I was turning onto had one (wb) lane, and two lanes (stopped), that go eb. Note: (may be relevant), I frequently down-shift (automatic) transmissions (using the "paddles" or "buttons", whatever's on the shift column), on all automatic trans. Cars I drive, when I slow down. I do this to save wear & tear on my brakes, when approaching stop-signs or red-lights. I down shift gradually, just like on a manual trans. When it's time to go, I hold the paddle in the "up-shift" mode, until I see "drive" on the trans. Indicator. In this accident, as the light turned green (the trans. Was in a low gear), I held the paddle in "up-shift" mode (note: I may have clicked the paddle 1 gear up before it went to "drive", I don't remember), and started the turn, barely pressing the accelerator. When I was appr. Halfway (45 degrees) into the turn (pointed swb at the opposite two lanes), I felt the engine "stagger" (like if you accidentally shift a manual trans. Into a high gear but you meant a low gear), and in a fraction of a second-the car rocketed ahead (I heard rpms) slamming me into the wb car(s) so fast, I didn't even make 90 degrees, nor could I brake (I tried). The 1st car impacted went backward (and to the right) hitting the car behind, and hit the car in the right lane. Note: 1. Jeep was totaled. 2. this accident was in dry weather, mid-morning @ intersection I drive nearly every day. 3.the airbag failed & I was briefly knocked-out w/some injuries. 4. this is not: " I hit the gas but meant the brake" case, I went from slow to rocket-ship. 5. I've been driving > 40 years w/O accident. 5. I'm a Pilot w/good reflexes.

Vehicle loses power unpredictably while in motion. Occurs in various scenarios, including during a complete stop, accelerating, decelerating, and cruising (occurs at all speeds 0-75 mph). Vehicle maintains electrical power but loses thrust, power steering, and brake pressure. Car needs to be turned off, and on occasion the engine will not turn over when attempting to re-start. Will have to wait several minutes. Occurs mostly after the vehicle has been driving for at least a short distance, then turned off for 5-10 minutes minimum. When vehicle restarts, the operator is at risk for failure. Jeep dealership has replaced the trottle body and issue persisted. Returned to Jeep, they replicated the engine failure but cannot identify an issue.

- Tyngsborough, MA, USA

Shifts from D to 1st on its own: From a stop, the 2016 Jeep Patriot semi-automatic transmission drops to first gear on its own. There is no indication until the driver has pulled into traffic and has no acceleration power. The dash light indicates the vehicle is in 1st gear, but the driver was not expecting this and must either gun the engine and take rpms off the chart to avoid a crash from oncoming vehicles, or manually shift the vehicle to N or P and then return to D for a type of "reset". the issue is intermittant. The dealership where we bought the vehicle cannot replicate the problem (in to shop 3X for this issue). They replaced the stick sensor and opened two separate staron packs with Jeep engineers. But the problem continues. I suspect its transmission ($$) related or electrical ($$). moving on to new dealership service. Fingers crossed. Cruise control: When cruise engaged at 70-75 mph on open hwy, had to slow for traffic. Speed dropped down to about 60-65. When reengaged cruise, the vehicle accelerated uncontrollably--rpms shot through the roof. Had to tap the breaks to disengage cruise and whole family experienced a hard lurch. Reported issue to Jeep service as perhaps related to issue with downshifting to first. Response was that this was normal. Seatbelts: When a person weighing more than 230lbs sits in the front seats, the seat belt warning sound dings as if the belt is not engaged. The dealership replaced sensors in both front seats. Problem resolved.

I was driving on a busy 5 lane main road through the center of town and depressed the clutch and brake preparing to stop at a red light. The clutch popped loose and was disabled. It no longer had any force against it but could be freely moved throughout its range of motion with no engagement or disengagement of the transmission which left the vehicle in gear as I was trying to stop. This caused the vehicle to stall and left it disabled in the center lane of a very busy 5 lane road approximately 40ft from a busy intersection. The failure was due to an improperly installed fitting in the wall forward of the driver pedals through which the clutch rod passes. This was a manufacturer installation as the car had 20 miles on it when purchased and the failure occurred at 150 miles. The fitting must be seated to allow the clutch rod to engage/disengage when the pedal is pressed. A misalignment of the hole in the wall and the clutch rod caused upward pressure on the fitting which was enough to hold it in place temporarily but eventually came loose. The proper installation of the fitting is to protrude fully through the wall and then be clocked 45deg so the tabs seat, keeping the fitting in place. A police officer was able to assist with the traffic obstacle while waiting for a tow truck and there were no injuries as a result. The loss of the clutch on a manual transmission vehicle at any given time can cause a serious safety issue. The inability to change gears or move to or from neutral can be a potentially very dangerous situation depending on the circumstances. This seems like a simple recall to inspect the installation for a likely limited lot of vehicles, however, the manufacturer, fia llc, disagreed.
