ON MY WAY TO WORK, MY CAR STALLED 3 TIMES WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND ONCE WHILE MOVING. AFTER THE MOVING STALL, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE ERROR CODE IS P0339. IT ALSO STALLED TWICE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. IT DIDN'T STALL WHILE I WAS MOVING ON THE SECOND TRIP BECAUSE MY FOOT HAPPENED TO BE ON THE GAS WHEN IT TRIED TO STALL. I FELT THE CAR JERK BACKWARDS THEN RE-ENGAGE THE ENGINE BACK TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE IT ALMOST STALLED. THE CAR HAD DONE A LITTLE JERK EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, BUT NOW IT'S MULTIPLE TIMES IN A SINGLE TRIP.

AROUND 50000 MILES THE ENGINE STARTED TO STOP ACCELERATING DURING OPERATION. DURING DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET (AT ALL SPEEDS) THE ENGINE WOULD BEGIN TO MALFUNCTION WITHOUT WARNING AND THE MAXIMUM SPEED THAT COULD BE MET WAS ABOUT 10MPH WITH GAS FULLY ENGAGED. PULLINGNOVER AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WOULD OVERRIDE THIS FOR A SHORT TIME. IT STARTED TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY TO THE POINT I WOULD HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR A APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES TO MAKE A 9 MILE TRIP TO WORK. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF UP TO 65MPH AND ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I COULD PULL OFF ON TO THE SHOULDER. EVENTUALLY AFTER MONTHS OF THIS OCCURRING AT RANDOM INTERVALS THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND STEERING ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE THANKFULLY ON A QUIET BACK STREET WHERE I WAS ABLE TO LEAVE IT AFTER PUSHING IT IN NEUTRAL AND HAVE IT TOWED. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF BEING IN THE SHOP AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LATER ITS RUNNING WITH A NEW ENGINE. MULTIPLE FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE MODEL MAKE AND YEAR HAVE THIS ISSUE ALL AROUND 50K MILES.

THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE BATTERY IS FINE HOWEVER I LOSE ALL POWER. IT IS AS IF THERE IS NO FUEL EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A FUL TANK. THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I ROLL TO A STOP AND LET THE JEEP SIT THEN TURN THE KEY AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP. THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION WHEN IT WILL OVCUR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL DISAPPEAR AFTER DRIVING FOR A TIME AND SO I AM TOLD THERE IS NO CODE TO BE PULLED. IM STUCK DRIVING A MACHINE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT TRY TO END ME. TONS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE HOWEVER MY VIN DOES NOT SEEM TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND WAITED AT INTERSECTION OR MIDDLE LANE, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF. WHEN IT IS RESTARTED, THE POWER IS BACK EITHER IMMEDIATELY OR AFTER A FEW MINUTES. I READ ONLINE AND MANY MANY CUSTOMERS REPORTED THIS PROBLEM, RANGING FROM VERY NEW JEEP PATRIOT (LESS THAN 10,000 MILES) TO DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED. THE LINKS ARE SHOWN BELOW: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/JEEP/PATRIOT/AUTOMATIC-TRANSMISSION-CONTROL-MODULE-PROBLEMS.PHP HTTPS://WWW.JEEPPATRIOT.COM/FORUM/5-JEEP-PATRIOT-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/92388-HELP-ENGINE-SHUT-DOWN.HTML WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT THE CAUSES. THE LAST TIME, THEY SAID IT IS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ISSUE. SINCE SO MANY CUSTOMERS REPORTED THIS ISSUE, THIS VEHICLE NEEDS A RECALL. THE UNEXPECTED SHUTOFF IS VERY DANGEROUS.

AC ACTUATOR BLEND DOORS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2012 JEEP PATRIOTS. DOES NOT WORK IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR IF IT'S STATIONARY.

DURING THE SUMMER OR ANY HOT DAY, AND ESPECIALLY DURING SPEEDS OVER 65 MILES PER HOUR MY JEEP ENGINE WILL STALL.. MEANING IT WILL REDUCE SPEED AND THEN STOP... THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY SUMMER FOR YEARS, AND IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN DURING DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, AND HAS EFFECTIVELY LEFT ME STRANDED AT TIMES ON THE ROAD... I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WILL SHOW YOU THE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT IT PRESENTS WITH. I AM DATING THE PROBLEM AS 06/18/16 EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES.

NHTSA ODI 11103824

IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER A CHOKEHOLD HOURS OF DRIVING, GAS TANK IS FINE, MY CAUSE SHUTS OFF, UNABLE TO ACCEL AND NO FUNCTION TO INCREASE SPEED. I HAVE TO THEN PULL TO THE SIDE AND WAIT FOR IT TO "COOL DOWN." THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING FOR 1 HR AND THE TRANSMISSION TEMP. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON.

WE BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY SON IN DEC 2016. IN THE SUMMER OF 2017, HE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, MAYBE TWO HOURS ON THE FREEWAY, HIS CAR LITERALLY SHUT DOWN. IT WENT FROM 70 MPH TO 20 MPH IMMEDIATELY. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES LAST SUMMER. WE TOOK THE CAR TO LITHIA DODGE OF SANTA ROSA, CA TWICE. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAD HIM COME HOME (CHESTER, CA) AND TOOK IT TO WHERE WE BOUGHT IT AT SUSANVILLE AUTO CENTER IN SUSANVILLE, CA. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM EITHER. THEY DID SAY THAT THEY HAD TWO OTHER JEEPS WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION THAT THE CUSTOMERS SAID THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUES. AGAIN, THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. JUST NOW, MY SON CALLED (HE IS ON HIS WAY UP FOR EASTER) AND HE IS STUCK IN WOODLAND, CA ALONGSIDE THE FREEWAY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SUSANVILLE MOTORS HAD US CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH WE DID (OVER $400) TO HOPEFULLY FIX THE PROBLEM. IT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T. IT IS ONLY 75 DEGREES RIGHT NOW. THE CAR DOESN'T SHOW ANY SIGN OF OVERHEATING, ALL FLUIDS ARE GOOD, BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, AFTER DRIVING FREEWAY SPEEDS, THE OVERHEATING LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN. THE TEMPERATURE GAGE SAYS EVERYTHING IS GREAT. I HAVE GONE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SOME CHAT AREAS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN IS JEEP GOING TO PUT IN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? THEY HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT. IS IT GOING TO TAKE MY SON GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT AND GETTING HURT, OR EVEN WORSE, KILLING HIMSELF? I AM PETRIFIED ABOUT THIS. I TURNED IN A CASE LAST SUMMER (CASE # 32398610) AND SPOKE WITH A WONDERFUL LADY BY THE NAME OF KAYLEE. PLEASE HELP. JEEP WON'T DO ANYTHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATOR KEPT RANDOMLY ILLUMINATING AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO WAIT A BRIEF MOMENT AND PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER FOR IT TO COOL DOWN TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (BILL DODGE, 118 PLEASANT ST, BRUNSWICK, ME 04011, (207) 721-8300) FROM WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED PROVIDED NO OWNER'S MANUAL AND REPLACED THE CVT TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, THE WARNING INDICATOR KEPT FLASHING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. IN ADDITION, THE DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE AN OWNER'S MANUAL; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT HAD TO RESEARCH A SOLUTION AND OBTAIN INFORMATION ON HIS OWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, OPENED A CASE, AND THEN CLOSED THE CASE WITH NO SOLUTION OTHER THAN REPLACING THE SAME PART. THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATOR COULD ILLUMINATE AT ANY TIME. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND WAS SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

I HAVE HAD MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT FOR OVER A YEAR AND JUST RECENTLY, IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS, THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHILE I AM DRIVING OR IDLING AT A LIGHT/STOP SIGN. THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS RANGING FROM 25 MPH TO 60 MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED ON RESIDENTIAL ROADS AND ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY, EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER PRETTY QUICKLY. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAPPENING, I WOULD TURN IT OFF AND BE ABLE TO START IT RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY LATELY. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 2 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. IT'S VERY RANDOM. SOMETIMES DAYS GO BY BEFORE IT HAPPENS AND THEN SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE DAY. IT NEVER HAPPENS WHEN I AM TURNING. ONLY WHEN I AM DRIVING. NEVER IN REVERSE. WHEN IT STALLS, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. THE LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC STAY ON. ONCE IT STALLS AND I TURN THE JEEP COMPLETELY OFF, IT IS TAKING LONGER AND LONGER FOR IT TO START BACK UP AGAIN. ONCE IT STALLS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT IS OFF IN THE MORNING AFTER I PARK MY JEEP OVERNIGHT AND SOMETIMES THE LIGHT IS STILL ON IN THE MORNING WHEN I GET UP TO DRIVE MY JEEP.

AFTER PUMPING GAS, LESS THAN A MILE INTO MY TRIP HOME, MY JEEP'S STARTED STALLING, THE POWER STEERING WENT OFF (I COULDN'T EASILY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL) AND IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION, THEN BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO STARTED IT. I ONLY MOVED ABOUT 500 FEET AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TURNED IT OFF, BACK ON AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED A THIRD TIME, AS I WAS GETTING HOME. I SAT ON MY PARKING SPOT AND THE JEEP WAS STALLING BUT IT DIDN'T DIE AGAIN. I LOOKED UP JEEP FORUMS AND IT SEEM TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND PEOPLE RESOLVE IT BY NOT FILLING THE TANK ALL THE WAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND IT COULD'VE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A BUSY STREET. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GAIN SPEED AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND WAS THEN ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP.
