I PURCHASED MY 2011 JEEP PATRIOT IN MARCH 2011 AND ONE DAY IT SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 50-55 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR HAD BEEN TRAVELING ON THE ROAD FOR ONLY 5 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, WITH NO STOPS OR PROBLEMS. I WAS MEETING MY HUSBAND FOR LUNCH AND THE CAR JUST STALLED AND I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE. I WAS IN SHOCK BECAUSE THE WERE CARS BEHIND ME AND I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED AND HE ASKED ME DID I HIT A BUMP WRONG THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE AND I SAID NO. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY DEALER AND LEFT A MESSAGE. THE SERVICE CENTER CALLED BACK AND I GAVE THEM DETAILS. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS AND ALLOW THEM TO DRIVE IT, BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. SO THEY TOLD ME THAT IF IT GAVE ME ANY OTHER ISSUES TO GIVE THEM A CALL. A FEW MONTHS LATER IT DID THE SAME THING, AGAIN WHEN I FIRST TOOK OFF LEAVING MY HOME. AT THIS POINT I WAS ASSUMING IT WAS SOMETHING I WAS DOING OR HITTING A BUMP WRONG. SO I CALLED THEM AND GAVE ANOTHER NOTICE TO THE DEALER. SAME DAY THE WINDOWS STARTED TO GO DOWN BY THEMSELVES. AGAIN, I THOUGHT I TOUCHED THE SWITCH WRONG AND CAUSE THE WINDOW TO ROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN BUT IT NOT ONLY DID IT TO MY WINDOW THE PASSENGER WINDOW DID THE SAME. SO DURING THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I TOLD THEM TO CHECK EVERYTHING OUT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS DOING WEIRD STUFF. NEVER SAW ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. NO PUTTING OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW AND WE HAVE ONLY DEALT WITH THE WINDOWS GOING DOWN BY THEMSELVES, BUT THE CAR ISN'T TURNING OFF..THANK GOD! MY FATHER IN LAW BROUGHT THE RECALL ISSUE TO OUR ATTENTION AND WANTED US TO CONTACT THE DEALER BECAUSE WE HAVE TWO YOUNG KIDS. WE TRAVEL ALOT AND WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE WE DECIDE TO TRAVEL FOR THE HOLIDAYS. *TR

MY 2011 JEEP PATRIOT (LIMITED, TRAIL RATED) SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 70-75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR HAD BEEN TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE/HIGHWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, WITH NO STOPS OR PROBLEMS. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN THE PASSING LANE, NOTICED THAT THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DESPITE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. HE MANAGED TO MERGE THROUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE HAD COMPLETELY DIED BEFORE HE CAME TO A STOP. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. NO SPUTTERING OR SHUDDERING OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE CAR HAD OVERHEATED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ANYTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW. HE DID HAVE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE AT THE TIME. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER THE INCIDENT. (HE TRIED TO RESTART SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE 30-45 MINUTES IT TOOK FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE, IT WOULD TRY TO START (IT WOULD TURN OVER?) BUT WOULD NOT ACTUALLY START) ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE NOTED TWICE THE CAR TOOK SLIGHTLY LONGER TO START AFTER SITTING IN THE SUN ALL DAY, BUT THIS IS REALLY A NON "ISSUE" SINCE IT HAS ALWAYS STARTED. IT JUST TOOK MAYBE .5 SECONDS LONGER THAN NORMAL ON TWO OCCASIONS. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE START TIME IS RELATED, AT ALL, TO THIS STALLING INCIDENT. THIS CAR IS LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD, AND HAS ALMOST 18,000 MILES ON IT. THIS EVENT COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THANKFULLY, THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE CAR WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURRED. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE TOMORROW. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON NB I-5 IN A 2005 SUBARU. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WAS THIS 2011 JEEP PATRIOT THAT I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT. WE WERE DRIVING APPROX. 65MPH. I WAS NOT TAILGATTING! THE JEEP PATRIOT'S POWER DIED. THE DRIVER THOUGHT SHE WAS NOT GETTING GAS AND KEPT HITTING THE GAS PEDAL. SHE NEVER HIT THE BRAKE. I DID NOT SEE A BRAKE LIGHT AND IT TOOK ME A COUPLE SECONDS TO REALIZE SHE HAD SLOWED, THEN STOPPED (THAT IS WHY I PUT SHE WAS GOING APPROX. 30MPH). RESEARCH SHOWS IT TAKES 2-1/2 TIME LONGER TO BRAKE IF YOU DO NOT SEE BRAKE LIGHTS. SHE DID NOT PULL OVER TO THE MEDIAN. NEEDLESS TO SAY, BY THE TIME I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES, I HIT HER. I WAS STILL GOING ABOUT 55MPH. MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY 85 YEAR OLD MOTHER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. I WAS ALSO INJURED BUT WAS ABLE TO RECOVER IN A MATTER OF 6-8 WEEKS. AS I RESEARCH THIS VEHICLE, I FIND THAT NOT ONLY THE 2011 PATRIOT HAS THIS PROBLEM, BUT SO DOES THE 2012 PATRIOT. WHEN IS JEEP GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY JEEP MECHANICS KNOW THIS PROBLEM OCCURS BUT DO NOT KNOW WHY. BTW, THIS WAS A RENTAL VEHICLE FOR THE DRIVER OF THE PATRIOT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING MY RADIO WENT OFF AND ON AND SCREEN TURNED BLACK. I DROVE A LITTLE FURTHER TO FIND A PLACE TO PULL OFF WHEN MY DASH BOARD LITE UP WITH EVERYTHING MALFUNCTIONING LIGHT AND THEN WENT BLACK. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE ALRIGHT. AS I CONTINUED ON TO WORK THE RADIO STARTED GOING ON AND OFF AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH THE WATER LEAK AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AS OF YET. I AM THINKING THAT MAYBE DUE TO THE WATER LEAK FROM THE DOME LIGHTS AND FIRE WALL MAY HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE ELECTRICAL AREA. PLEASE YOU REALLY NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE. I HAVE MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE REGULARLY INCLUDING MY 2 YEAR OLD GRANDSON AND 10 MONTH OLD GRANDDAUGHTER.

CONTINUED FAILURE OF TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM IN 2011 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE 4X4. OUR BRAND NEW 2011 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE 4X4 HAS EXPERIENCED CONTINUED FAILURE OF THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS IT THE TPMS LIGHT HAS ACTIVATED INDICATING A LOW TIME PRESSURE ISSUE IN THE TIRES. EACH TIME THE TIRE PRESSURE IS CHECKED AND DETERMINED TO BE CORRECT. WE HAVE NOW TAKEN THIS JEEP TO OUR LOCAL DEALER, SPORT DURST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP, ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THIS ISSUE. THE MOST RECENT TIME WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TPMS WAS SET TO THE INCORRECT PRESSURE AND WAS SET CORRECTLY. DESPITE THIS, THE TPMS LIGHT HAS COME ON ONCE AGAIN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE AS A MALFUNCTIONING TPMS WILL RESULT IN JEEP OWNERS IGNORING THE LIGHT. THIS COULD RESULT IN COMPLACENCY WHEN THERE COULD, IN FACT, BE A REAL TIRE PRESSURE PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES ATTENTION. *TR
