I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON AN INTERSTATE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS AT 71 MPH AND SUDDENLY MY ENGINE STALLED AND I COULD NOT CONTROL MY VEHICLE. SEVERAL VEHICLES BEHIND ME HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME AND NEARLY HIT MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP AND I WAS ABLE TO RE-START THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING IS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT WITH 42,700 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD 2 PREVIOUS WARRANTY RECALLS FIXED ON THIS VEHICLE - ONE RELATED TO A FUEL TRANSFER TUBE AND THE OTHER FOR A VEHICLE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE STALL OUT ON ME AND ALL POWER IS KILLED FROM THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT UNLESS THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING WHEN I BRING IN THE VEHICLE THEY DON'T WANT TO PUT MONEY AND PARTS INTO IT. I BRING IT TO THEN WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND STILL THEY WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *JS

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP AND IT SEEMED TO SOUND REALLY LOUD, LIKE A MOTORCYCLE, AND WHEN I'D ACCELERATE IT WASN'T SMOOTH, IT'S ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING WAS STUCK. I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS AND WHEN I WENT TO PUT SOME GROCERIES IN THE BACK, I NOTICED MY BUMPER LOOKED FUNNY AND I COULD NOT SEE THE TAIL PIPE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (I HAD CALLED EARLIER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THIS NOISE, BEFORE I NOTICED THE BUMPER). HE TOLD ME TO COME IN AND THEY'D FIX IT. THE TAIL PIPE GOT LODGED UP IN MY BUMPER, BURNED A HOLE IN THE BUMPER, AND STARTED BURNING THE FRAME OF MY JEEP. IT WAS EXTREMELY HOT AND HAD I NOT NOTICED IT, WOULD HAVE STARTED ON FIRE. THE GUY AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID HE HAD SEEN THIS ONE TIME BEFORE WHEN SOMEONE HIT A SNOW BANK. WE HAVEN'T HAD SNOW IN MONTHS, AND THAT WEEKEND I DROVE MY JEEP TO MY MOM'S AND IT WAS PARKED ALL WEEKEND. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING, AND NO CAR COULD HIT ME THAT LOW TO LODGE THAT UP. I NOW CHECK EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR TO MAKE SURE I CAN SEE THE TAILPIPE SINCE I'M NOT SURE IF BUMPY ROADS CAN CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. *JS

WAS TRAVELING DOWN A CITY STREET. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET PAST AN INTERSECTION, THE WARNING CHIME AND CHECK ENGINE CAME ON APPROXIMATELY A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED. I LOST BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH TRANSMISSION TO PARK AND NEUTRAL WHILE VEHICLE WAS COASTING BUT COULD NOT. I HAVE A BAD BACK SO I DID NOT UTILIZE THE PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE. ONCE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP I WAS ABLE TO FORCE THE TRANSMISSION TO PARK AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS. TRIED RESTARTING VEHICLE AND IT WOULD JUST CONTINUOUSLY CRANK, BUT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. HAD PUBLIC ASSISTANCE TO HELP GET IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH THE VEHICLE OFF THE BUSY ROADWAY. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. CALLED FOR TOW, WAS TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. DEALER REPLACED CRANK SENSOR AND UPDATED PCM. *TR

WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, I WAS IN THE FAST LANE ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN I STARTED TO HEAR THIS STRANGE NOISE AND I BEGAN TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WITH THE CIRCLE AROUND IT CAME ON. IT WAS A VERY SCARY THING BECAUSE I HAD A CAR BEHIND ME THAT WAS VERY CLOSE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. I PULLED OUT MY OWNERS MANUAL TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS BY PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL AND IDLING IT FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED MAKING THAT NOISE AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND I STARTED OUT ON MY WAY AGAIN. I STILL HAD A 2 HOUR DRIVE LEFT ON MY TRIP AND I WAS SCARED IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN BEFORE I COULD GET HOME. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND BASICALLY WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO SENSORS LIGHTING UP AND THEY COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM IF THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE IT. SO I'M LEFT WITH A CAR THAT I CAN'T TRUST. *TR

WHILE ON THE MOUNTAINOUS INTERSTATE WE LOST OUR ACCELERATION AND DIDN'T KNOW WHY. WE WERE IN A DANGEROUS LOCATION JUST BEGINNING TO CROSS A BRIDGE AND WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AS FAR AS WE COULD. WE DID KNOW THAT STOPPING ON THE BRIDGE WAS A VERY DANGEROUS LOCATION. AT THIS POINT I WAS SHAKING AND VERY SCARED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN 1ST GEAR, AND WE ACTUALLY MOVED. AT THIS POINT I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET US PAST THE BRIDGE TO A SAFER LOCATION. BUT AS I WENT FROM 1 GEAR TO ANOTHER, WE WERE SLOWLY GAINING MOMENTUM, SO I KEPT GOING. THEN JUNE 9, 2014 WE LOST ACCELERATION WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN GOING THROUGH MOUNTAINOUS ROADS IN NM. WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE SLOWLY TILL WE GOT TO AN OFF RAMP AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION. I FIGURED MY FLUID LEVELS WERE GOOD DUE TO JUST HAVING A $300 SERVICE PERFORMED WITH OIL, ETC. 2 WEEKS PRIOR JUST BEFORE LEAVING ON VACATION. I THEN PULLED OUT THE OWNERS MANUAL TO SEE JUST WHAT THAT LIGHT WAS FOR. IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING DUE TO THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN WE WERE IN. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEFORE, SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE AREA AT JEEP IN W. BELL RD IN PEORIA, AZ. THE GENTLEMAN I TALKED TO HAD NO GOOD ANSWERS FOR ME. THEN HE MENTIONED THAT THE CERTAIN TYPE OF TRANSMISSION THAT WAS IN THE JEEP PATRIOT CAN OVERHEAT. WE JUST NEEDED TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL AND SIT IN NEUTRAL TILL THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED. THE VEHICLE LOSES ACCELERATION AS A PROTECTION FOR THE TRANSMISSION SO IT DOESN'T OVERHEAT AND CAUSE DAMAGE. WELL, THEN... WHAT ABOUT TO THE OCCUPANTS THAT ARE IN THE VEHICLE BEING SUDDENLY STRANDED IN VERY UNSAFE LOCATIONS. *JS

HAD DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 8 MILES AND WAS ON DOWNWARD SLOPE WHEN VEHICLE SHUT OFF. WAS ABLE TO CRANK IT THEN WAS DRIVING IT THE 8 MILES BACK HOME WHEN IT SHUT OFF AGAIN, THIS TIME ON A FLAT ROADWAY. WAS UNABLE TO CRANK IT THIS TIME AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND 45 MINUTES. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED AND LOST POWER STEERING. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND VEHICLE CRANKED FOR THEM. NO ERRORS ON THE COMPUTER. AFTER TESTING IT AND DRIVING IT 13 MILES, NO DETERMINATION MADE ON WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT SPORT 4X4 DOWN THE AUTOBAHN AT AROUND 120KM(74 MPH) MY JEEP STARTED MAKING A DEEP WHIRLING/HUMMING SOUND. WHILE ACCELERATING IT IS A LOW DEEP SOUNDING WHIRLING/HUMMING SOUND, WHILE DECELERATING THE WHIRLING/HUMMING SOUND BECOMES LOUDER DEEP SOUNDING WHIRLING/HUMMING. I TRIED CALLING THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HERE IN GERMANY BUT WAS BASICALLY TOLD THEY COULD NOT BE OF ANY HELP DO TO MY JEEP BEING AMERICAN SPEC. ALSO, I FIND IT ABSURD THAT MY JEEP HAS RECALLS AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED AND OF COURSE I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT I CANNOT GET THEM FIXED OVER HERE. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I HAD A PACKAGE THAT WAS TAPED SHUT. I TRIED TO USE MY KEYS (THAT WERE STILL IN THE IGNITION) TO SLICE THROUGH THE PACKAGES PACKING TAPE. MY HOUSE KEY DIDN'T CUT THE TAPE SO I QUICKLY GAVE UP. I NOW BELIEVE THAT MY ATTEMPTING THIS WAS PULLING DOWN ON MY KEY RING AND IGNITION KEY. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I HIT THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENED - BECAUSE MY CAR HAD SHUT OFF. THERE WERE NO DASH LIGHTS ON (LIKE OIL PRESSURE) THAT YOU WOULD USUALLY SEE WHEN A CAR STALLED. THE RADIO WAS STILL ON BUT THAT IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR ON THIS MODEL WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE ENGINE & REMOVE THE KEY; THE RADIO DOES NOT TURN OFF UNTIL YOU OPEN THE DOOR. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE THIS SOUNDS A LOT LIKE THE ONGOING GM IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHILE PASSING A TRACTOR TRAILER UP A MODERATE INCLINE WHEN THE ENGINE OF MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE FAILED. UPON PASSING THE TRACTOR TRAILER, ALL OF THE INDICATORS ON THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO LIGHT UP - THEN THE INDICATORS, AS WELL AS MY HEADLIGHTS, COMPLETELY DIED. WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, THE ENGINE FAILED, AND MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW TO A COMPLETE STOP ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET INTO A SMALL SPACE ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY BEFORE A TRACTOR TRAILER VERY NEARLY TOOK MY LIFE. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE CAR BATTERY. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 13 DAYS AGO, SO PERHAPS THE BATTERY HAD GOTTEN WEAK ON THE DEALER LOT IN THE WINTER MONTHS. AND, AFTER MY CAR WAS JUMPED, IT BEGAN TO WORK. HOWEVER, THE CAR COULD ONLY BE STARTED ONCE, AND THE ENGINE WILL NO LONGER TURN OVER. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I DRIVE EXTENSIVELY FOR A LIVING, AND I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL DIE IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN THIS JEEP PATRIOT BECAUSE THE CAR FAILED COMPLETELY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH 2011-2012 JEEP PATRIOTS. PLEASE ENFORCE A RECALL! *TR

I HAVE A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT, I PURCHASED NEW ABOUT A YEAR 9 MOUTHS AGO, IT HAVE 13000.00 MILES, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING AS IF IT RAN OUT OF GAS, I PULLED OVER IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC AND TRIED STARTING AFTER CHECKING FUSES AND ALL POSSIBILITIES. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND NOW THE FUN BEGINS. AFTER 2 HOURS AND DROPPING THE CAR AT THE DEALER THE CAR STARTED, I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE WEB I FOUND THIS SITE AND WE PRESENT THE INFORMATION I FOUND HERE TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER WANTS TO RETURN TO CAR AND AT THIS TIME I AM NOT WILLING TO EXCEPT THE CAR WITH THIS UNSAFE CONDITION. JEEP SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX ASAP BEFORE A FATALITY TAKES PLACE. THE JEEP DEALER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING AT THIS POINT. I WOULD LIKE A SUGGESTION BECAUSE THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR FELT LIKE IT PULLED BACK THEN JUST SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD THANKFULLY THERE WASN'T A CAR BEHIND ME OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AFTER A FEW TRIES THE CAR STARTED, SO I DROVE IT HOME THEN THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY STATED AFTER GETTING IT BACK TO ME 2 DAYS LATER THAT THERE WASN'T A CODE, SO THEY'D CLEARED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. THE FOLLOWING WEEK I'M DRIVING DOWN THE MAIN ROAD ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND THE CAR DOES THE SAME THING. THIS TIME IT WAS REALLY SCARY, BECAUSE IT WAS RUSH HOUR AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR. I ATTEMPTED TO START IT SEVERAL TIMES THEN SAT FOR A BIT WITH THE FOUR WAYS THEN TRIED IT AGAIN. IT STARTED UP AND I DROVE IT RIGHT TO THE DEALER. I WAS SO SHAKEN IT TOOK A FEW MINUTES BEFORE I FINALLY LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AGAIN. I LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM THEN THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME TO COME GET IT. I WENT IN WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAD BEEN THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR THAT HAD CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I'M TRULY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE I KEEP WONDERING IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY USED CARS, BUT I GOT A NEW CAR THINKING I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING AND NOW I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS CAR TURNING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT 75 MPH ON LEVEL SURFACE THE TACHOMETER BRIEFLY SPIKED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRIC ACCESSORIES REMAINED ON, BUT THERE WAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE UPPER 90S, THE FUEL TANK WAS ABOVE 1/4 FULL AND THE DRIVER WAS 2.5 HOURS INTO A 3.25 HOUR TRIP. THE VEHICLE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND REPORTED NO DIAGNOSTIC ERRORS OR CODES. THE DRIVER COLLECTED THE VEHICLE, FILLED THE FUEL TANK AND BEGAN THE 3.25 HOUR RETURN TRIP. WHILE TRAVELING AT 75 MPH, APPROX 2.75 HOURS INTO THE RETURN TRIP THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AGAIN. AFTER SITTING AT THE EDGE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR ALMOST 20 MIN, THE DRIVER HEARD A RELAY CLICK FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR. THE VEHICLE STARTED AND RAN NORMALLY FOR AN ADDITIONAL 10 MINUTES BEFORE STALLING AGAIN WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE PREVIOUS TWO INSTANCES: A BRIEF SPIKE FROM THE TACH THEN NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. THE DRIVER AGAIN WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER A 15-20 REST AND CONTINUED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND ONTO SIDE STREETS WITH NO FURTHER OCCURRENCES. THE ISSUE RECURRED ON A SUBSEQUENT LONG TRIP APPROX ONE MONTH LATER WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS. UPON GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE CITY IT WAS AGAIN TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WHO DISCOVERED NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES OR ERRORS. *JS

AFTER FILLING UP VEHICLE WITH GAS AND DRIVING FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES, WHEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE THE SMELL OF GAS FUMES WOULD PERMEATE THE ENTIRE HOUSE. WE REPLICATED THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THE FUMES WERE SO STRONG THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE HOUSE FOR SEVERAL HOURS WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN TO VENTILATE. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE VAPORS CAUSING AN EXPLOSION WITH THE GAS WATER HEATER IN THE GARAGE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY INSISTED NOTHING WAS WRONG AFTER HAVING CHECKED IT TWICE. I REFUSED TO TAKE IT BACK SINCE IT WAS A SAFETY RISK TO MY FAMILY TO BE AT THE HOUSE. CHRYSLER RESPONDED THE DEALERSHIP'S REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE BY REPLACING THE FUEL TANK AND VAPOR CANISTER. THERE WAS NO PUDDLE OR APPARENT LEAK UNDER THE VEHICLE AT ANY TIME. *JS

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO (I DO NOT HAVE THE EXACT DATE AS THE NOTICES ARE NOT DATED NOR POSTMARKED) REGARDING THE FUEL TANK TRANSFER TUBE. I CALLED THE DEALER AS SOON AS I RECEIVED THE NOTICE, AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER/JEEP HAD NOT RELEASED A PART NUMBER YET. WHEN I CALLED SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALER NOW HAS A PART NUMBER AND IS ORDERING THE PART. TODAY, WHEN I CALLED AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THAT JEEP IS ONLY SENDING ONE PART EVERY 2 WEEKS AND THAT THE DEALER IS WORKING OFF OF A WAITING LIST AND I MAY NOT BE CALLED FOR ANOTHER MONTH. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. IF THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONS IN THE WAY THAT IT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL NOTICE, MY CAR COULD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY WHICH PUTS ME AT RISK OF BEING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES AND KILLED. I HOPE THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO EXPEDITE THESE PARTS GETTING TO ALL OF THE OWNERS OF THESE JEEPS. *TR
