There was suddenly a strange growling humming noise coming from the engine. The car only had 53,641 miles on it. It cost $2300 to replace 2 bearing imput shafts. We had the dealer fix it. When we called about the problem they knew what it was right away because it is a common problem. This is unacceptable. We now lost confidence in Jeep products and feel something should be done about it.

Throttle body defective part. Starting in 2020 noticed unable to accelerate and engine would stall. Throttle body has been replaced 5-6 times since. When traveling at times vehicle will stall and immediately slow down, this has nearly almost caused me two accidents, I was able to pull on shoulder quickly. Please note I have more servicing invoices I can provide. This was done all under warranty

On 10/27/2020, I financed a Jeep Patriot with 43K miles from Quality Chevrolet. Exactly 6 days later 11/02/2020, while I was on the way home from work in the evening; three sensor lights came on causing the vehicle to jolt / jerk / accelerate and become unsafe to drive. There were cars behind me, I turned on the hazard lights and my car went from 25 MPH to 2 MPH instantly. The lights were ABS, Traction and check engine. I immediately contacted the dealership since I had the Jeep for less than a week. I had to take the risk of driving the car in this condition for 6 miles on a highway back to the dealership, stopping every few minutes to shut off the Jeep and restart to try to reset the sensors, which seemed to work 2 minutes at a time. A drive that would normally take about 15 minutes took over an hour. My Jeep was being paid for weekly and still being serviced at the dealership- On 11/17/2020, I received a call from the dealership that they cleaned out the throttle body as recommended by Jeep and since that was the only sensor active at the time; they told me that no other lights were on so they were driving the Jeep to try to activate them. I was told by Quality Chevrolet that Jeep recommended to clean out the throttle and return to me, if the lights come back on, to go back to the dealer and replace the part. After weeks at Quality Chevrolet, my jeep was returned to me, however 5 days later on 12/07/2020 the same sensors came on in the middle of a highway when I was going about 55 MPH and it was raining I had to find a way to get my vehicle to safety and this caused a lot of anxiety as my kids were in the Jeep this time. I did not get into an accident by a miracle but now I was stranded on the highway. Til this day, Quality Chevrolet nor the 3 other places I have been to have been able to properly diagnose this problem that continues to happen without warning. My jeep will not go over 20 MPH, RPM stays on 2 and all sensors are active.

Driving at city speeds, the transmission jerks 2 to 6 times at different speeds, temperature, weather, time of day. This on a 2017 Jeep Patriot 2.4L. This has been happening since we bought it in March of 2020.

It's a standard transmission and the clutch just went out. It has low miles on it and is used to get to work and back, around 10 miles or less one way. Mechanic didn't understand why it would go out so quickly on a vehicle with such little mileage on it. It's around 46,000 miles. It was being driven when the clutch just wouldn't go into gear anymore and had to be towed.

Transmission overheat light triggers only in heat at extended periods of highway speed. Has happened 5 times. Car looses power at highway speeds quickly. Must pull over and wait for it to cool. Dealer said they couldn't get it to show up so they wouldn't do anything about it.

While driving 75 mph, the transmission starts making a whining noise, and the transmission warning indicator illuminates, the vehicle decelerates and loses power. We coast the vehicle over to the road shoulder, wait awhile and the warning light goes off. This happened four times in succession on our last trip of 240 miles. It has happened at the very least 10 times on the same trip to West Virginia. The vehicle was taken to johnson family Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, floyd, Virginia, also motor mile Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram christiansburg, Virginia, and miller's Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram martinsburg, West Virginia. As of October 31st 2019 johnson family has not been able to replicate the problem. They have had the car for 27 days! VIN #[xxx] with approximately 24,000 miles. Here is an exact replica of what happens: Https://youtu.be/37P1X0ympze https://youtu.be/-stuuh2mmeo information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

While driving 80 mph, the transmission warning indicator illuminated, and the vehicle decelerated and lost power. The contact coasted the vehicle over to the road shoulder, waited awhile, restarted the engine, and was able to drive safely.

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Patriot. While driving 75 mph, the transmission warning indicator illuminated, and the vehicle decelerated and lost power. The contact coasted the vehicle over to the road shoulder, waited awhile, restarted the engine, and was able to drive safely. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was then taken to young blood Chrysler Dodge Jeep (3525 S. camble, springfield, mo 65807, 417-882-3838) where it was determined that if the vehicle was driven over 75 mph, the transmission would overheat. Fluids were placed in the transmission along with a foaming gel for the power train. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 36,000. The VIN was unknown.

I was driving and heard a noise I took my vehicle to the dealership they serviced it and three days later the noise came back a whining noise. All of a sudden it didn't want to move forward the whining increased, then the overheated warning light came on, then inability to accelerate. Finally the transmission light came on. I took it back to the dealership they called the warranty people and I was told because I didn't do every maintenance suggestions they will not honor the lifetime warranty on the part. This happened with no prior warning from the service of the vehicle or performance of the vehicle. I feel this warranty situation is a scam and they should be held liable!

I was driving up to a red light, stopped and the engine started to revve up all by itself. I proceeded through the green light with my foot on the gas the vehicle did not want to accelerate, I pulled into a parking lot, put in park and shut the vehicle off. This happened after my first oil change around 5000 miles. I restarted the vehicle about 10 minutes later and it drove fine. I drove to the dealership where I had the oil changed. The attendant hooked the vehicle up to a computer check and nothing showed up. I drove without any issues until after my last oil change, I drove from phoenix to prescott AZ. I took the exit to prescott and slowed down to 35 when I got to mayer AZ, I stepped on the gas after going through town to accelerate, it would only accelerate to 40 mph with my foot pressed all the way down on the gas pedal. I pulled over and put it in park. I let it sit and stepped on the accelerator the vehicle went again, I came up to a stop light and when I proceeded to go it started revving again. I made it through the stop light and pulled over and turned the vehicle off. Since I restarted it and am back in phoenix I have not had any issues yet. There is something seriously wrong with this vehicle. I am taking it back to the dealership again. I looked online and found this has been a problem with Jeep from previous years, needs to be resolved. Thank you
