What 455 owners told NHTSA about the 2016 Jeep Patriot

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW, HAD IT CHECKED BY DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD GO OFF AFTER DRIVEN A FEW MILES. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AROUND 50K MILES AND BEFORE I COULD GET IT CHECKED IT WENT OFF. I WAS TOLD THE ONLY WAY THE COMPUTER COULD DETECT THE PROBLEM WAS IF THE LIGHT WAS ON. IT HAS CAME ON AND GONE BACK OFF SEVERAL TIMES. NOW IT HAS CAME ON AT 90K MILES AND THE I HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD I HAD A BAD CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND A BAD CAMSHAFT SENSOR. NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED SLIPPING AT 90K MILES. I'M ALSO ON MY 3RD SET OF TIRES ON THE FRONT BECAUSE THE FRONT END WILL NOT STAY ALIGNED

WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE WILL STALL/STOP WITHOUT WARNING. WITH IT GOING STARIGHT OR TURNING IT DOES NOT MATTER. YOU HAVE TO COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS

MY CAR WAS PARKED AT HOME IN PARKING LOT. I USED CAR EARLIER DURING THE MORNING AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. DURING THE AFTERNOON I WENT OUTSIDE TO CRANK CAR AND IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS. I THEN REALIZED I FORGOT SOMETHING IN MY HOME AND TURNED CAR OFF TOOK KEY OUT THE IGNITION AND WENT TO RETRIEVE WHAT I HAD FORGOTTEN. I CAME BACK OUT NOT EVEN 30 SECONDS, ATTEMPTED TO CRANK CAR AND THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS, AC CAME ON, BUT CAR WOULD NOT CRANK. IT MADE NO NOISE TO INDICATE IT WAS TRYING TO TURN OVER NOTHING. AFTER TRYING A FEW TIMES I CALLED GEICO TO HAVE SOMEONE COME OUT TO POSSIBLY JUMP START THE CAR, BUT THAT PERSON TESTED THE BATTERY, OIL, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTED AND SAID NONE OF THEM WERE A PROBLEM. I THEN ORDERED A TOW TRUCK THRU GEICO, HE ARRIVED ABOUT AN HOUR LATER AND HE IMMEDIATELY SAT IN VEHICLE AND CAR CRANKED WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE LIGHT ON DASH ALSO DISAPPEARED. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAVE IT CHECKED AGAIN AND I HAVE A PRINT OUT THAT SHOWS THAT NEITHER THE BATTERY, STARTER, ALTERNATOR OR ENGINE OIL WERE A FACTOR. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY OTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR CRANKING SINCE THAT DAY. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHY IT WOULD NOT START.

THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FAILED AT 49K MILES. BASICALLY THE COMPUTER DOESN'T WORK. THE VEHICLE WILL LOOS MOMENTUM AND DECELERATION HAPPENS OFTEN. THE WIPERS JUST COME ON BY THEMSELVES. CAR IS IN DRIVE WHEN DECELERATION HAPPENED.

I AM DRIVING THE JEEP IS ON THE HIGHWAY, DOING 60 MPH ONE WEEK AFTER I HAD BOUGHT THE JEEP IN MAY 2016 AND IT AUTOMATICALLY STARTED GOING FASTER ON IT'S OWN, WITH THE RPM INDICATOR GOING CLOCKWISE. IT WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN SO I HAD TO DRIVE TO THE ACCESS ROAD AND PUT EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN IT RESET ITSELF AND PERFORMED NORMALLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT, INCLUDING JULY 25, 2018 WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK. LAST YEAR I HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD A SENSOR LIGHT WAS OUT, SO THEY "FIXED" IT. IT IS STILL HAPPENING. THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS ARE CONSTANTLY FLASHING. THEY TOLD ME THEY RESET THEM ALSO. IT IS STILL OCCURRING, ALSO

TWO THINGS ARE WRONG WITH MY JEEP AND HAVE BEEN SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I'VE HAD IT, BUT THE NEWPORT POWER DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME THAT "IF THERE EVER WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, IT FIXED ITSELF". BS NOTHING IS FIXED! SO THE FIRST THING IS THE SAFETY SEATBELT SENSOR'S. WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER UP FRONT AND THEY'RE BUCKLED UP IT KEEPS BEEPING SAYING THAT THEY'RE NOT BUCKLED UP. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME I HAVE A PASSENGER BUT IT'S SUPER ANNOYING AND HAPPENS MOSTLY WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. THE SECOND THING IS THAT SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I'VE HAD THE JEEP, THE ENGINE KEEPS STALLING AND OTHER TIMES ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO DIE BUT DOESN'T. ( NEWPORT POWER DEALER TOLD ME THIS ISSUE WAS DUE TO POOR GAS MIXTURES DURING DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE YEAR. I'M NOT STUPID AND KNOW THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE, I HAVE THREE OTHER CARS THAT DO NOT DO THIS AT ALL!) THE CAR STALLS SO FAR ONLY WHILE STOPPED AT LIGHTS, IN DRIVEWAY'S, DRIVE THROUGH ETC. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. WHILE DRIVING EITHER IN TOWN, TURNING CORNERS, DRIVING STRAIGHT OR ON THE HIGHWAY, THE JEEP ACTS AS IF IT'S GOING TO DIE. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING. ALSO MY BACK WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN LEAKING SINCE I GOT THE CAR BUT THE POWER DELER SAYS IT'S FINE. I'M VERY TIRED OF HEARING BS FROM THE POWER DEALER HERE IN NEWPORT OREGON, I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I THINK THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO HONOR IT! THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2016 TO TODAY IN 2018.

WHILE AT A FULL STOP AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO 40 MPH. A RED LIGHTNING BOLT LIT UP ON THE DASH. THE CAR WAS SHUT DOWN. WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STILL RANDOMLY ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE UNDER ALL AND ANY DRIVING CONDITIONS. SO FAR THE ACCELERATION SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH NO AVAIL. CURRENTLY TRYING ANOTHER SERVICE GROUP TO ISOLATE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THERE IS NO PREDICTABLE PATTERN TO THE RANDOM ACCELERATIONS. THE DATE NOTED IS THE LAST OCCURANCE. WE'VE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED SINCE JULY 18, 2018.

THE SYSTEM THAT MONITORS WHETHER A PASSENGER IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT MALFUNCTIONS AND CAUSES THE SEATBELT TO SHOW UNBUCKLED THEREFORE TURNING THE AIRBAG OFF IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS SPECIFIC PIECE OF EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON SIMILAR VEHICLES IN THE SAME YEAR BUT MY VIN WAS NOT SELECTED AND MY DEALERSHIP WANTED ME TO PAY IN ORDER TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY RISK.

I WAS ADDING GAS TO THE JEEP AND THE GAS SPEWED OUT BECAUSE THE CUTOFF DID NOT WORK; IT IS NOT THE GAS STATION'S PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE USED THE PUMP FOR MY CAR AND IT CUTS OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. MY SON HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AT ANOTHER GAS STATION WHERE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE JEEP IN THAT IT DOESN'T CUT OFF THE GAS WHEN FULL. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY OR I AM GOING TO START A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS COVERED IN GAS.

WARNING LIGHT KEPT COMING ON FOR "LOW TIRE" WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE. HAD THIS CHECKED REPEATEDLY AT DEALER, THE LOW TIRE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF THEN COME ON AGAIN LATER. THE DAY AFTER TAKINGTHE PATRIOT IN FOR THE LOW "TIRE LIGHT" THE ESC/ABS LIGHTS ALSO STARTED COMING ON. I HAVE JUST OVER 50,000 MILES SO THE WARRANTY IS OVER. I WAS TOLD THAT IN ADDITION TO THE $115 FOR DOING A DIAGNOSTIC TO SEE WHY THE LIGHTS WERE ON IT WOULD BE $350 EXTRA PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. I WAS UNABLE TO PAY FOR THIS AT THIS TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE OKAY TO DRIVE IT BUT THE LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON UNTIL REPLACED. ONLINE I SEE THAT THERE ARE OVER 18 OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME REASON. THE SENSOR GOT SOME TYPE OF MOISTURE AND WAS SHORTING OUT. MINE CONTINUES TO BE ON FOR 30 MINUTES THEN GO OUT, OR NOT COME ON AT ALL, OR NOT ON THEN COMES ON. EITHER THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH CONNECTION OR THIS IS JUST A BAD PRODUCT. WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME SCENARIO - I AM AFRAID THAT THERE IS A WATER LEAK OR THE SENSOR DOES NOT HAVE PROTECTION FROM WATER. EITHER WAY, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A HAZARD TO ANYONE DRIVING A JEEP PATRIOT. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SMOKE, FIRES, ETC. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER AND CORRECTED FREE OF CHARGE. I LOVED MY PATRIOT UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THIS WEEKEND, WHICH IS WHY I TRIED TO HAVE THE LIGHTS/SENSORS CHECKED OUT MONDAY. I LEAVE TOMORROW AND HOPE AND PRAY I DO NOT HAVE A FIRE/ACCIDENT TO REPORT ON MONDAY. THIS IS A VALID SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. ONLINE OTHER REPORTS ALSO STATE THAT SOMETIMES YOU LOSE ACCELERATION AND STALL BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND BARELY TOUCHED THE SHIFTER AND WHEN I TOUCH THE SHIFTER IT SLIPPED OVER INTO WHERE YOU SHIFT YOUR GEARS I FEEL LIKE IT'S A COULD CATCH THE CAR ON FIRE BECAUSE IT IS REVVED UP SO HIGH AND YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT BECAUSE YOU CANT HEAR IT UNLESS YOU YOU GOT RADIO OFF AND WINDOWS UP AND YOU CAN NEVER TELL I DEFINITELY THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE IT MORE SAFE WHEN FROM SOME KIND OF A LOCK ON THE SHIFTER FOR WHEN YOU WANT TO GO OVER INTO WHERE YOU SHIFT THE GEARS YOURSELF NOT TO MENTION HOW EXPENSIVE CARS ARE AND THAT YOU COULD VERY EASILY TEAR UP YOUR CAR BY IT BEING IN THE MANUAL SHIFTING AREA RATHER THAN THE AUTOMATIC SHIFT

WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY (~10 MPH) SB I PREPARED TO MAKE A RIGHT-TURN (WB), IN THE ONLY LANE THAT TURNS RIGHT. AS I NEARED THE INTERSECTION THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, ENABLING ME AND THE (1) LANE ON MY LEFT TO GO (IT GOES SB). NO CAR WAS AHEAD OF ME (TO TURN). THE STREET I WAS TURNING ONTO HAD ONE (WB) LANE, AND TWO LANES (STOPPED), THAT GO EB. NOTE: (MAY BE RELEVANT), I FREQUENTLY DOWN-SHIFT (AUTOMATIC) TRANSMISSIONS (USING THE "PADDLES" OR "BUTTONS", WHATEVER'S ON THE SHIFT COLUMN), ON ALL AUTOMATIC TRANS. CARS I DRIVE, WHEN I SLOW DOWN. I DO THIS TO SAVE WEAR & TEAR ON MY BRAKES, WHEN APPROACHING STOP-SIGNS OR RED-LIGHTS. I DOWN SHIFT GRADUALLY, JUST LIKE ON A MANUAL TRANS. WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO, I HOLD THE PADDLE IN THE "UP-SHIFT" MODE, UNTIL I SEE "DRIVE" ON THE TRANS. INDICATOR. IN THIS ACCIDENT, AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN (THE TRANS. WAS IN A LOW GEAR), I HELD THE PADDLE IN "UP-SHIFT" MODE (NOTE: I MAY HAVE CLICKED THE PADDLE 1 GEAR UP BEFORE IT WENT TO "DRIVE", I DON'T REMEMBER), AND STARTED THE TURN, BARELY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN I WAS APPR. HALFWAY (45 DEGREES) INTO THE TURN (POINTED SWB AT THE OPPOSITE TWO LANES), I FELT THE ENGINE "STAGGER" (LIKE IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY SHIFT A MANUAL TRANS. INTO A HIGH GEAR BUT YOU MEANT A LOW GEAR), AND IN A FRACTION OF A SECOND-THE CAR ROCKETED AHEAD (I HEARD RPMS) SLAMMING ME INTO THE WB CAR(S) SO FAST, I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE 90 DEGREES, NOR COULD I BRAKE (I TRIED). THE 1ST CAR IMPACTED WENT BACKWARD (AND TO THE RIGHT) HITTING THE CAR BEHIND, AND HIT THE CAR IN THE RIGHT LANE. NOTE: 1. JEEP WAS TOTALED. 2. THIS ACCIDENT WAS IN DRY WEATHER, MID-MORNING @ INTERSECTION I DRIVE NEARLY EVERY DAY. 3.THE AIRBAG FAILED & I WAS BRIEFLY KNOCKED-OUT W/SOME INJURIES. 4. THIS IS NOT: " I HIT THE GAS BUT MEANT THE BRAKE" CASE, I WENT FROM SLOW TO ROCKET-SHIP. 5. I'VE BEEN DRIVING > 40 YEARS W/O ACCIDENT. 5. I'M A PILOT W/GOOD REFLEXES. *TT *TR

REAR TIRE AREA MAKES A GRINDING SOUND, AUTO SHOP EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS THE CONTROL ARM AND SUSPENSION (REAR CRADLE ASSEMBLY) WAS BROKEN AT WELD CONNECTION TO THE FRAME. SPOKE TO ANOTHER AUTO SHOP ABOUT REPAIRS, TOLD I WAS MISTAKEN, PART SHOULD NOT BREAK. CONTACTED WARRANTY TECH/EDGE WARRANTIES REGARDING ISSUE, TOLD TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP CALLS BACK SAME DAY AND SAID THAT IT BROKE BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN PULLED WRONG...I ASKED WHAT THAT MEANT, DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT HAD BEEN TOWED WRONG. I TOLD HIM THAT WE HAD PURCHASED NEW FROM THE LOT AND HAD NEVER BEEN TOWED. REPRESENTATIVE SAID HE WOULD LOOK FURTHER INTO ISSUE AFTER TELLING ME THAT I NEEDED TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE. NEXT DAY, REPRESENTATIVE OF DEALERSHIP CALLS (BREEDEN DODGE) AND TELLS ME THAT ONCE THEY TOOK THE WHEEL OFF AND EXAMINED FURTHER, THAT THE "PULLED WRONG THEORY" WAS OUT THE DOOR, THAT IT BASICALLY JUST BROKE, AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE. I AGAIN TOLD HIM THAT FROM EACH PROFESSIONAL I SPOKEN WITH THAT IT WAS MORE THAN LIKELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT/ERROR. HE SAID HE WOULD CONTACT CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD STAND BEHIND ISSUE. I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF ON A WEDNESDAY, THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY, THE REPRESENTATIVE CALLS BACK SAYING THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT STAND BEHIND, BUT THAT I NEEDED TO CONTACT INSURANCE COMPANY. I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH WARRANTY TECH/EDGE WARRANTIES (CHRYSLER CALLS IT ONE THING AND DEALERSHIP CALLS IT ANOTHER). THE REPRESENTATIVE ACTED LIKE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS AN ISSUE, EACH TIME I MENTIONED IT, BUT SAID HE WOULD CONTACT THEM. HE CALLED BACK A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER AND SAID THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE FRAME. HE THEN INSISTED THAT I CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I TOLD HIM I WOULD CONTACT BOTH CHRYSLER AND WARRANTY TECH. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND ALMOST GOT IT APPROVED AS HE HAD ONLY CONTACTED THEM THE DAY PRIOR.
