WHILE DRIVING HIGH WAY SPEEDS FOR A FEW MINUTES IT DROPS DOWN IN SPEED CAUSING YOU CLOSE CALL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE IT IS VERY SUDDEN. IF I DRIVE THE JEEP AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP REGARDLESS IF AT STOP SIGN RED LIGHT OR BEHIND TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL TURN OFF HAVING ME TO TURN THE KEY IN OFF POSITION AND PUT IT IN PARK TO START IT AGAIN. IF I AM ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING I CAN BE GOING 45 MPH AND ALL OF SUDDEN THE JEEP STARTS DECLINING IN ITS ACCELERATION AND WILL NOT GO ABOVE 10MPH. ALSO WHEN INITIALLY STARTING UP IF I HAVE TO BACK UP IT TURNS OFF WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF BACKING UP. THIS ISSUE IS BEEN KNOWN TO HAPPEN TO A FEW PEOPLE WHO I KNOW THAT OWN THE SAME EXACT JEEP OR THE 2012 MODEL. ALSO HAVE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND ONLY THING THAT POPS UP IS A CODE FOR THE GAS CAP WHICH I HAVE REPLACED AND STILL POPS THE CODE FOR IT

CAR WOULDN'T START ONE MONTH AGO. IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS. AFTER 10 MINUTES IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND HAD BEEN NORMAL. TODAY, 9/15/19, MY CAR STARTED UP FINE BUT 2 MINUTES INTO DRIVING AT 20MPH MY CAR LOST ALL POWER. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH MY WORK PARKING LOT DRIVING IN A FORWARD MOTION. SEVERAL LIGHTS LIT UP IN MY DASHBOARD PRIOR TO LOSING POWER. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO NOT BE ON THE FREEWAY. I PUT MY CAR IN BRAKE AND RESTARTED IT. IT STARTED RIGHT UP, BUT NOW HAS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED. MY BATTERY IS A FEW MONTHS OLD. I'VE TESTED IT AND IT'S CHARGED. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR AND CONSIDER IT NOT IN A DRIVABLE STATE. IF MY CAR WERE TO DIE ON THE FREEWAY THAT WOULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. CAR DEFECT THAT CAUSED THIS IS UNKNOWN. .

(1) SEAT BELTS/AIR BAGS: HAVE NOT HAD NOTICEABLE ISSUES WITH THESE YET HOWEVER ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A CHRYSLER RECALL #S61. IS A SAFETY RISK BECAUSE I COMMUTE TO WORK DAILY ON THE FREE WAY AND COULD GET INTO A CAR ACCIDENT WHICH COULD BE DEADLY IF THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY OR IF THE SEATBELT DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. (2) AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS: CHRYSLER RECALL # N01; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEGAN HAVING ISSUES SPONTANEOUSLY AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE AND HAVE PERSISTED. WARNING SIGNALS ON DASH WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL-RELATED. JEEP WILL ALSO RANDOMLY ALERT WHILE DRIVING MAKING A, "DING" NOISE WHEN THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM. THIS SOFTWARE/ELECTRICAL ERROR COULD CAUSE AIR BAGS TO NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY AND CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SEATBELT PRE-TENSIONERS AS WELL WHICH COULD BE DEADLY IN A HIGH-SPEED FREEWAY ACCIDENT. (3) FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: CHRYSLER RECALL # N17; JEEP HAS LURCHED WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING AS IF THE ENGINE WAS STALLING OR AS IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. JEEP WILL LURCH MOST OFTEN WHEN ACCELERATING AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS GETTING STUCK OR THE ENGINE IS STALLING BECAUSE THE RPM READING WILL SHOOT UP THEN DROP BACK DOWN TO ALMOST NOTHING. (4) FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STORAGE TANK, ASSEMBLY: CHRYSLER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 JEEP PATRIOT'S DUE TO SOME VEHICLES BEING BUILT WITH A FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY CONTAINING A DAMAGED ROLL-OVER VALVE. (5) SUSPENSION: CONSTANT SQUEAKING IN BACK SUSPENSION OF VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR DRIVING ON UNEVEN GROUND. AUTOMOTIVE SHOP HAS YET TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OR ISSUE RESULTING IN THE SQUEAKING AND CREAKING AND WE HAVE BEEN GOING TO THEM FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS FOR VEHICLE MAINTENANCE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT DOWN A REGULAR STREET AND IT SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AND DASH LIGHTS WENT ON. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM LIGHT WENT ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT.

NHTSA ODI 11109604

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.

WHEN IDLE, VEHICLE'S ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT COME ON TO THE DASH. WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, ACCELERATION IS VERY LOW. VEHICLE HAS A DIFFICULT TIME ACCELERATING. MAX SPEED WILL BE AT ABOUT 30 MPH. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, AS WELL. BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND THROTTLE BODY AS WELL, VIA MECHANIC'S CODE READINGS FROM THE VEHICLE. CAR CONTINUES TO SHOW WEEK ACCELERATING.

TAKATA RECALL JUST WONDERING WHEN THIS MIGHT BE FIXED. IT HAS BEEN 4-5 MONTHS SINCE WE WERE NOTIFIED. WORRIES ME IT MAY NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE.

NHTSA ODI 10956762

WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, SPEED 65-70 MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND A WINDING NOISE ACCOMPANIES THE LOSS. SOMETIMES THE TEMP GAUGE OR ELECTRIC THROTTLE LIGHT WILL LIGHT UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS. ALL 4 TIMES I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WAIT AN HOUR, START THE CAR DRIVES NORMALLY. AFTER EACH OCCASION I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER JEEP DEALER. EITHER THEY SAY IT'S A MISFIRE, OR I NEED A TUNE UP OR AN IGNITION COIL. I'VE SINCE HAD ALL THESE REPAIRS AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I'VE HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR EVERY TIME, THANKFULLY I AVOIDED GETTING REAR ENDED AND NOW DRIVE IN THE SLOW LANE NOT OVER 65 MPH JUST TO BE PREPARED FOR MY JEEP TO DO THIS AGAIN. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR.

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY 2012 JEEP PATRIOT. FROM THE BEGINNING MY TRANSMISSION WOULD CONSTANTLY OVER HEAT AND I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES AND THEY SAID, "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG." THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND FINALLY THEY ISSUED ME A NEW TRANSMISSION AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES. A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED CONTINUOUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY & STREET. THEN THEY DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR THAT WAS BAD, WHICH THEY REPLACED. I HAD TO PAY $100 BECAUSE OF A DEDUCTIBLE. THE CAR SEEMED TO BE WORKING OKAY UNTIL JUNE 22ND, 2015 WHEN I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED WITH A HUGE SEMI TRUCK BEHIND ME. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 75 MPH AND THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, POWER STEERING, EVERYTHING WENT OFF EXCEPT FOR THE LIGHTS AND OTHER ITEMS RUN BY THE BATTERY. WE IMMEDIATELY TRIED OUR BEST TO SIGNAL AND FINALLY MADE IT SAFELY OFF THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF UNDER 15 MPH. THE CAR GAVE US NO CHECK LIGHTS AND NO INDICATION AS TO WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR THAT IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER WHEN WE TRIED TO START IT. WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP. WE LIVE IN CALIFORNIA AND HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED IN IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO WHICH WAS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT. WE RENTED A CAR AND LEFT THE 2012 JEEP PATRIOT AT THE DEALER HOPING THEY COULD FIX IT UPON OUR RETURN TO THAT AREA. THEY WERE UNABLE TO GIVE US ANY ANSWERS AND SAID THE CAR STARTED FINE. OBVIOUSLY, YOU CAN SEE HOW THIS IS AN ISSUE. I HAVE NO PROBLEM FIXING THE CAR BUT WITH NO ANSWERS TO WHAT IS WRONG AND HAVING THE CONSTANT WORRY OF WONDERING IF MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE IS IN DANGER, IS NOT SOMETHING I AM WILLING TO TOLERATE. IT SEEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS WELL. I WILL BE FORWARDING THIS FOR THEM TO MAKE A COMPLAINT AS WELL. I WILL ALSO FOLLOW UP HOPING THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED.

NHTSA ODI 10877005

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED FROM A DEALERSHIP WITH 39,000 MILES ON IT. HAVE NOT EVEN MADE 1 CAR PAYMENT YET AND HAVE HAD TO GET IT TOWED OUT OF MY GARAGE TO TAKE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START ONE MORNING. DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS HAVING A FAULTY WCM MODULE AROUND $400 TO FIX. NOT A GOOD START TO OWNING A JEEP.
