The emissions systems stated slippery when wet and the traction for the tires were loose. The tires were installed or balanced wrong causing the tires to slide. When braking the traction caused the car to be driven at low speed to avoid the problems with the steering wheel and the balance between it using the wrong amount of space to turn. It needed it large amount of space because the wheels weren-??t aligned correctly. The speed was hesitant to accelerate and was showing signs of defects written in the manufacturers possibly as needed investigation to return it back safely.

The car's engine will shut off without notice. Sometimes it happens when the car is in park, but more problematically, it happens on the highway or at intersections (there is no discernible pattern to what triggers the failure). Additionally, when the engine shuts off, the wheel and pedals stiffen up, making pulling into a breakdown lane difficult. This is an issue that has been resolved before by replacing the crankshaft sensor after identifying there was an issue with it via check engine light/code. (There have been previous recalls for the crankshaft sensor for these Jeep models.) However, after replacing the crankshaft sensor on two separate occasions, the issue is surfacing again. Dealers have no way of rectifying this very severe issue until there is a code that emerges, forcing myself to continue driving a vehicle that can shut off at any given moment until it happens frequently enough for the issue to either be replicated in their hands, or for a code/check engine light to emerge.

Jeep sucks so does dealership

- Logansport , IN, USA

Crankshaft position sensor. Engine stalled in traffic. Had to stop, place car in park, turn engine off and then back on. Independent mechanic has confirmed issue. Error code P0335. Vehicle has not been inspected by manufacture or others. Engine has stalled previously with NO WARNING SIGNS. Symptoms have been present since purchase.

- Marysville , OH, USA

Vehicle unable to reach speed above 30mph. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) symbol shows up in error on dashboard. Unable to accelerate beyond 30mph. Vehicle drives with unstable and jerky motions. Have had this issue before and dealership mechanic reset computer, downloaded a system update to solve issue. This occurred about 2019. Issue has represented itself.

While slowly accelerating from a stop, my 2016 Jeep Patriot engine stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. I lost power steering and & brakes and was luckily able to muscle the car over to the side of road out of traffic. I waited several minutes and restarted the engine which then operated normally afterward. This engine stalling has occurred repeatedly & more frequently (6+ times in last 10 days) while accelerating from a stop which is very dangerous in cross-traffiic intersections and on freeways. Additionally now, the engine rpm-??s intermittently surge notably up and down +/- 2,000 rpm while driving with steady un-changing pressure on gas pedal. I have seen no engine failure indicators. I have had this vehicle serviced at two different independent repair shops that couldn-??t re-create the problem & guessed it was the throttle body and then cleaned/serviced it. The problem persists more frequently, and is the exact problem listed in the S89 ChryslerJeep recall. My vin is not referenced in the recall notice-even though it is from the same Jeep manufacture period. This recall should definitely apply to my vehicle. I drive 40 freeway miles daily to work and am concerned for my safety and others. My vehicle is available for inspection if needed and I am bringing it tomorrow to a Jeep dealer in hopes of having it repaired under the recall. As the original new owner, I strongly feel that Chrysler Jeep needs to apply this recall to my vehicle and support their owner-??s safety.

My car hesitates and will jolt when trying to accelerate as well as stall when I am driving 50+ mph sometimes and completely shut off causing me to have to put it in park, turn it off and turn it back on again while I am in the middle of driving which increases the risk of an accident and I feel extremely unsafe

Vehicle driving on highway and shuts off with no prior warning. Vehicle driving at normal city speeds of 40 to 45 mph and shuts off with no warning. The vehicle will shut off completely, engine stalls. Still have electrical power. Turn key off and wait 20 minutes, vehicle drives normal. Stall is random and after a 20 minute key off engine off starts and drives fine. No mil or check engine light or active or stored dtc after stall lose all power brakes and steering during stall suspect crankshaft position sensor and both camshaft position sensor harness connectors

Recently, when trying to start vehicle, all electrical power shut off, open the hood and tap the fuse box, all power comes back on, repeat multiple times until vehicle starts. When driving home down the interstate at night, all power cuts off, engine stops at 70 mph no brakes, no power steering, no brake lights, no headlights and no hazard lights, almost got ran over top of by a semi that couldnt see me stranded in the highway. Finally got it restarted after shaking and tapping fuse box, made it down the road further and all dash lights popped on, dinged and lost the speedometer for a few seconds. Had close encounters like this multiple times lately. Had the battery and alternator checked, all good. Dealership said its not under recall so i would have to pay out of pocket almost 1000 dollars to "fix" it but couldnt guarantee the new fuse box would fix the problem. I like the vehicle but I dont wanna die in it when a semi cant get out of the way when it dies next time.

- Winfield, WV, USA

The contact's son owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. Despite being able to restart the vehicle, the contact stated that the failure would return. Recently, the contact stated that after she experienced the failure and restarted the vehicle, the vehicle began to vibrate with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to several independent mechanics who were all unable to diagnose the cause of the failure. The contact has had several repairs performed on the vehicle; however, each repair failed, and the failure persisted. The dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I am a service contract administrator. I recently received a claim where the contract holders vehicle would stall. The shop stated a recall had been performed by Auto Nation Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Littleton, CO. ( 7980 W Tufts Ave, Littleton, CO 80123 ) ( 303-578-6099 ) I called over, gave them the VIN, and asked for documentation on the repair. The shop said they would send it over. In the meantime I had the shop the vehicle was currently at send me pictures of the wiring. The repair was poorly done, and Auto Nation is refusing to rectify their poor workmanship. The service advisor in questions name is Scott. He would not return phone calls, and never sent over the requested documentation. My company will take care of the customers repairs. Attached are the pictures of the poor repair. My purpose here is to report poor workmanship, and let you know this dealership is not repairing vehicles to either manufacturer, or federal standards.

It acts like it-??s going to stall. It bucks and sputter anytime I accelerate from a stopped position.

- Tulsa, OK, USA

The cruise control accelerates after being set. Interior dome lights fill with water when it rains. Engine sputters as if not getting enough gas. Head lights will turn off while driving at night when blinkers or wipers are turned on, even after having had new wiring put in, new lights, and fuses changed. Car does not shift as it should, and is getting 160 miles per full tank of gas.

I was driving on a 4-lane highway in the passing lane. These indicator warning lights came on: Electronic throttle control, engine, traction control. The car started bucking and slowed down. I was able to move into the non-passing lane and pull into a strip mall parking lot. I shut the car off. I left it off for a couple of minutes. When I turned it back on, all indicator lights were off except for the engine light. I turned the car on and off two more times. The second time, the ngine light came back on again. The third time, no lights came on. I drove the car to a repair shop. On the way there, the engine throttle control light came on again and the car started bucking. After approximately one minute, the indicator light went off and the car stopped bucking. I made it to the repair shop without further problems. At the repair shop, they ran diagnostics on the vehicle. They found no current codes but found old codes relating to the electronic throttle control. They stated that without a current code, they could not help me and asked me to pick up the car. They said the next time it happens, I should take the vehicle to a dealership because the problem could be caused by a multitude of items and finding the cause would be a trial and error project.

I believe my vehicle should be repaired at the expense of the manufacturer as the symptoms I'm experiencing are identical to the issues addressed in tsb: Nhtsa16V907000 from 2016/12/16 crankshaft sensor may fail causing engine stall. Apparently, my VIN# was not included in the initial recall, yet my 2016 Jeep Patriot is demonstrating the exact problems cited in the initial recall. My symptoms include intermittent triggering of the vehicle to enter limp mode resulting in loss of ability to accelerate and drastic reduction of engine output power. Electronic throttle control light illuminates, sporadically. Engine idles roughly and/or at low rpms sporadically. Cycling the vehicle off and back on will sometimes result in the a return to normal vehicle performance, only to have the same issue resurface the next day. The crankshaft position sensor and its wiring harness, the intake camshaft position sensor, exhaust camshaft position sensor its wiring harness and electrical connectors and throttle body should all be replaced. In addition, the necessary computer reset/reprogramming should be performed as well.

The vehicle stalled while driving. Lost steering capabilities and had a hard time pulling over. Had to turn key completely off and wait a couple minutes and it turned back on. I was on a busy city street.

- Lexington Park, MD, USA

The unsealed main relay box is positioned directly below the lead-acid battery which leaks directly onto the cover, enters the relay box and destroys the leg and wiring connected to the automatic shutdown relay. This can occur both as the vehicle is operating or cause a no-crank/no-start situation, immobilizing the vehicle. In our case, the first time it occurred was in a parking lot but the issue is well documented on the internet and there are myriad youtube videos on the issue for many Jeep and fca vehicles. This is enough of a known issue that fca has not addressed for many years now and we just paid $460 for the dealer to move the affected relay from the box to a less vulnerable location. It occurred a few times before the wiring failed completely, and in our case was in a stationary condition each time fortunately.

Going down the highway attempting to accelerate the car will lose power, the red lightning bolt will flash. Then within seconds the light will cut off the car will gain power and will accelerate.

- Smithfield, NC, USA

When I turn on car a red lighting light kept coming up on dashboard, by my gas meter. Also, it seemed like my car didn't want to speed or it would after and go low velocity. When this light turned on. I looked it up and it's the 'electronic throttle control' I seen a couple of videos on youtube and say it may be a recall from 2011-2017 Jeep Patriots wanted to know if it is and need to fix soon before it gets worse. Please. No money due to covid and recently looking for another job. Can't afford $1200
