2014 JEEP PATRIOT Engine Problems

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2014 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE FROM MARSHALL DODGE IN CRITTENDEN (WHICH SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER PURCHASING!) WAS A GREAT CAR FOR THE FIRST LITTLE BIT. I CAN NO LONGER DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE. AT INTERSTATE SPEED (65-70 MPH) THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO MAKE A SQUEAL NOISE AND WITHIN FIVE MINUTES I AM PLAYING LEAP FROG TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AT MAX SPEED OF (20 MPH) AND THE VEHICLE IS VERY JERKY. WHEN IT DOES THIS ALL FLUIDS IN THE CAR ARE FINE, GIVE IT ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND THE CAR WILL ACT NORMAL, BUT I CANNOT TRUST IT TO GET BACK ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO YEARS. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEIR USELESS EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOTHING GETS DONE! I HAVE...

TAKATA RECALL- 3 DASH LIGHTS ON ETC, MIL, AND ESC ACTIVATIONAL MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT ON- CAR MAKES SPUTTERING LOUD NOISE AND STALLS/TURNS OFF QUICKLY AFTER STARTING. CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND IS JERKING/HARD TO PRESS BREAKS. FEELS DANGEROUS LIKE CAR IS GOING TO SHUT OFF AT ANY MOMENT. THIS STARTED LAST NIGHT WHEN 3 LIGHTS APPEARED ON DASH BUT CAR SOUNDED NORMAL. SHORTLY AFTER IT SHUT OFF AND HAS GONE DECREASINGLY DOWN HILL.THIS SOUNDS LIKE A RECALL ISSUED FOR JEEP PATRIOTS BUT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN NUMBER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE SPEED INDEPENDENTLY DECREASED TO 20 MPH. THE ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR AND IT RESTARTED ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE EXISTING COMPLAINTS FOR THE FAILURE, BUT THERE WAS NO CURRENT RECALL AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

2014 JEEP PATRIOT STALLS OUT ON ME. TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ANYWHERE FROM 30MPH TO 55 MPH. PROBLEM INITIALLY STARTED IN EARLY 2016. DRIVING AT SPEED OF 55 MPH, CAR WILL START TO VIBRATE, THE ENGINE AND THE ETC (ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL) LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THE ENGINE WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND STALL OUT. THE LAST STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING OCCURRED 09/07/17. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE ROAD AFTER BEING ON THE SHOULDER, THE CAR WILL LUNGE FORWARD AND AGAIN STALL OUT. AFTER 5-7 ATTEMPTS AND NEARLY BEING HIT EACH TIME I TRY TO GET ON THE MAIN ROAD, THE PATRIOT WILL FINALLY GET ME STRAIGHT HOME. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING EVERY 3-4 MONTH OCCURRENCE FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE JEEP DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY TELL ME THEY KNOW OF NO SUCH COMPLAINTS...

MY JEEP KEEPS STALLING AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE JEEP WAS BEING DRIVEN WHEN THIS HAPPENS.AND STOPPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V552000 (ENGINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,250.

ONE MORNING I TRIED TO TURN ON MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. GOT A FRIEND TO COME OUT TO TRY AND JUMP START IT AND AFTER ABOUT 30 MIN IT WAS SUCCESSFUL. TWO DAYS LATER I HAD THE SAME ISSUE. TRIED TO JUMP THE CAR AGAIN WITH NO SUCCESS. REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT DID NOT HELP. ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONEMTS INSIDE THE CAR (RADIO,LIGHTS,ECT) WERE STILL FUNCTIONAL BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT START OR EVEN MAKE A SOUND LIKE IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO START. JEEP WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE AFTER 1.5 WEEKS OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I THEN TOWED IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND HE STATED THAT HE DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. HE REMOVED THE PLASTIC COVERINGS OVER THE ENGINE AND STATED THEY ARE JUST FOR LOOKS AND DONT NEED TO...

AT 27,900 MILES THE PLASTIC GEARS IN THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED, CAUSING AN UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND CLIMBING A HILL. I DID MY RESEARCH AND LEARNED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS EXISTED SINCE 2007 WITH NO PERMANENT SOLUTION. THIS MANIFESTS ITSELF AS AN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER UNTIL THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT COMES ON AT WHICH POINT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THERE IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO BY MOTOR CITY MECHANIC ON YOUTUBE THAT EXPLAINS THIS ISSUE IN DETAIL. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ONE OF THESE FAILS AT SPEED AND SOMEONE IS KILLED.

MY 2014 PATRIOT IS A 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH A 2.4 L ENGINE. IT HAS JUST UNDER 54000 MILES AND HAS RECENTLY (WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS) STARTED STALLING WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY NOT SUPER SERIOUSLY TO THE POINT OF LOSING ALL POWER AND BEING STRANDED, BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE. THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING IT DUE TO NO SENSOR OR WARNING LIGHTS, THEN ONE DAY FOR A SPLIT SECOND THE ETC LIGHT FLASHED. IT'S NEVER FLASHED SINCE AND THE CAR WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING WHEN MY BOYFRIEND DROVE IT. LAST WEEK WHILE STOPPED, WAITING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON DRY PAVEMENT MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED. FINALLY LAST WEEK AS WELL MY BOYFRIEND FELT IT STARTED TEMPORARILY WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, ON THE FREEWAY. NOW IT HAS STARTED NOT STARTING. ALL ELECTRICAL WILL WORK, BUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AS FAR AS ENGINE. IT HAD ONLY DONE THAT COUPLE TIMES, NOW,...

FIRST - OIL IS CHANGED ON TIME AND SPARK PLUGS WITH COILS WERE REPLACED. MAINTENANCE IS DONE ON THE CAR. APPROXIMATELY AT AROUND 58K MILES, THE CAR BEGAN TO "SKIP" WHEN ACCELERATING WHEN IT REACHES OVER 20 MPH AND REACHING BETWEEN 3-4 RPM. THIS WAS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE. TODAY AT 60K MILES, THE CAR ON CRUISE CONTROL, ON A SMALL INCLINE IN THE ROAD, CAME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP (FROM 65 MPH) AND THEN ACCELERATED AS IF I STOMPED ON THE GAS - REACHING ALMOST 5 RPM BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE LIGHTS FLASHED BRIEFLY ON THE DASH BOARD BUT NO ERROR MESSAGES REMAINED LIGHT. I CALLED A REPUTABLE REPAIR GUY AND WITHOUT ERROR LIGHTS THERE ISN'T MUCH ANYONE CAN TELL YOU. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER THREADS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NOTHING BEING DONE BY CHRYSLER DUE TO THE LIMITED NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS. MY...

WAS DRIVING ON I 95 SOUTH AND THE ENGINE JUST STARTER TO HESITATE AND QUIT FOR NO REASON. TOOK CAR TO CHRISLER DODGE DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND CHRISLER WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECORDS OF OIL CHANGES. NOVEMBER 6, 2013 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V552000 LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE MAY RESULT IN ENGINE STALL I ASKED ABOUT THIS ISSUE THAT WAS IDENTIFIED, BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE ISSUE HAD TO BE SPECIFFICALLY IDENTIFIED TO THE VIN NUMBER. BUT NOT TO WORRY, CHRISLER CAN SELL ME A NEW ENGINE FOR $6,900. THEY KEEP SAYING THE PARTS FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 MANUFACTURER CHRYSLER (FCA US LLC) COMPONENTS SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS STILL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I AM SURE FOR $2,000 OR SO, CHRISLER MAY BE ABLE TO GET THEM CASE BY CASE. FRUSTRATED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE TIRES TO RUB AGAINST THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE AN ALIGNMENT AND A FOUR WHEEL ROTATION WAS COMPLETED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE OIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL COVER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE CONTACT THEN NOTICED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED A PUDDLE OF OIL ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH EXITING THE HIGHWAY, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED SMOKE UNDER THE HOOD. THE ENGINE BURST INTO FLAMES AND BLACK SMOKE APPEARED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOWING COMPANY LOT AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,500. UPDATED 06/28/17*LJ *AS

MY JEEP OVERHEATS REGULARLY, NO TOWING JUST REGULAR COLORADO HWY DRIVING, MAKES HIGH PITCHED WHINING SOUNDS, AND LOSES POWER. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO GO OFF, RESUME DRIVING, AND PULL OVER AGAIN WHEN THE LIGHT COMES ON. OVER AND OVER THIS HAPPENS. DEALERSHIP SAYS NO ERROR CODE ON THE ENGINE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

UPON ENTERING A MAJOR HIGH WAY SYSTEM, THE ENGINE ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, REGARDLESS OF THE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL. IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING RESISTING THE ACCELERATION. THERE I AM IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 6 LANE BRIDGE WITH FREE WAY TRAFFIC GOING 60MPH AND I AM DECELERATING (EVEN WITH ADEQUATE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS) WHEN COMES ELECTRICAL THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE GUY DRIVING THE TOW TRUCK SAID I WAS HIS 4TH JEEP TODAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND AMONG MANY THIS MONTH.

PURCHASED MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT PRE-OWNED FROM A LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP. APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND SHUT DOWN. I WAS GOING 55 AND IT ALL OF THE SUDDEN SLOWED TO 30MPH. THANK GOODNESS I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AS SOON AS I GOT TO THE SHOULDER, I SHUT THE CAR OFF THEN RESTARTED AND WAS FINE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. THEN 3 DAYS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HADN'T HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE. DEBATED ON TAKING THE VEHICLE IN ANYWAY BUT NEXT TIME IT STARTED AND HAS DRIVEN WITHOUT STALLING SINCE THEN. WELL, A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THE GAS PEDAL STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN WHERE IT FELT LIKE IT HAD A BRIEF LAG IN THE ACCELERATION. I STOPPED...

I'VE COMPLAINED HERE 2 WEEKS AGO BUT NOW AN UPDATE -- TODAY WAS THE SECOND TIME WHICH WAS MORE SERIOUS AS NOT ONLY THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON , BUT THE MIL LIGHT AND THEN THE EAC LIGHT. AFTER STALLING AND RESTARTING AND PLUGGING MY WAY HOME -- WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT , FOOT ON BRAKE ON A HILL, THE CAR SEEMED TO RPM VERY HIGHLY AND SEEMED TO WANT TO ACCELERATE (WHILE A PEDESTRIAN CROSSED IN FRONT OF ME AT THE LIGHT). AT THAT TIME -- OR AROUND THAT TIME -- ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON -- ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, BUT APPEARED TO SWOOP INTO HIGH GEAR WHILE SITTING WITH BRAKE ON PEDAL. IT THEN DWINDLED DOWN TO THE PREVIOUS 3 LIGHTS. LATER WHEN I MADE IT HOME AFTER SEVERAL STALLS, I WENT OUT TO START IT . THE MIL LIGHT LIGHTS...

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO STALL AND THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR SEEMED TO GO NEUTRAL, THEN GAG, THEN REGAINED IT'S COMPOSURE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF. CAR WAS IN COLD WEATHER BUT NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE, IN MN. TEMPS THE MANUAL SAID IT WAS THE ETC ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL, BUT DIDN'T INDICATE IT WAS A MAJOR CONCERN, UNLESS LIGHT STAYED ON . WHAT WOULD BE A MAJOR CONCERN OTHER THAN GETTING REAR ENDED BY A PILE OF CARS? I'VE NEVER HAD THIS WITH ANY CAR, IT WAS TOTALLY A NEW LIGHT I'VE NEVER SEEN. I MADE IT TO WORK AFTERWARDS. ON THE WAY BACK HOME, THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN -- FLASHING, THEN OFF -- CAR STAYED ROLLING. PERHAPS IT IS MORE INCLINED TO STALL GOING UPHILL WITH THE ETC, AND WHILE IT'S ROLLING DOWNHILL, LESS INCLINED TO STALL? WHO KNOWS, BUT I...

IN AUGUST 2016 DRIVING ALONG AND THE CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT AND ELECTRICAL LIGHT AND MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE STAYED ON AS WELL AND THE CAR SPUTTERED THEN STOPPED. WOULD NOT GO. HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ELECTRONIC BODY THROTTLE NEEDED REPLACED. RIDICULOUS,I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP BUT DIDN'T HEAR BACK SO I HAD IT FIXED AND REPLACED. MONDAY DECEMEBER 12TH WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 45 MILES AN HOUR MY JEEP STALLED AND THEN COMPLETELY DIED ON THE ROAD. I MANAGED TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD AT A COAST. HAD IT TOWED AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC SAID I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED THE MECHANIC SAID "DUE TO ABRASIVE DEBRIS IN THE BALANCE SHAFT BEARINGS, THESE ENGINES MAY HAVE A LOSS OF ENGINE OIL PRESSURE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ENGINE STALL...

THE TRANSMISSION FILL PIPE BROKE OFF AND WAS HANGING UNDER THE CAR. LUCKILY WE NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS HANGING OFF THE CAR WHILE IT WAS PARKED, MY BOYFRIEND REACHED UNDER THE CAR TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND IT CAME OFF IN HIS HAND. HAD IT FALLEN OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR IT COULD HAVE FALLEN OFF AND WE WOULD HAVE NEVER NOTICED IT AND HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AT SOME POINT. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT PRETENDED LIKE THEY'D NEVER HEAR OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE BUT A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MANY PATRIOT AND CALIBER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. I ALSO SUSPECT THAT A LOT OF THESE HAVE FALLEN OFF WITHOUT THE OWNERS EVEN REALIZING IT.

RECALL WITH NO REMEDY YET. IN ADDITION WE HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER IN THE CAR. I HAVE CHILDREN. I DON'T FEEL IT IS SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH THEM.

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT AT THE END OF 2013. I USE THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE FROM HOME TO WORK AND BACK. CURRENTLY IT HAS 21458 MILES. FROM THE START THE CLOCK HAS BEEN DROPPING TIME. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET THE CLOCK FIXED. AFTER BEING FIXED IT STILL CONTINUED TO DROP TIME BUT BEFORE I COULD RETURN IT TO THE DEALER ANOTHER PROBLEM AROSE. ON 9/28/2016 THE ENGINE WOULD CUT OUT EACH TIME IT WAS STARTED. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY SAID THE WCM WAS BAD, THIS NOT ONLY CAUSED THE ENGINE TO CUT OUT BUT ALSO CAUSE THE CLOCK TO LOSE TIME. NOW HERE WE ARE AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. 11/15/2016 - WHEN STARTED THE ENGINE CUTS OUT BUT WITHIN A FEW HOURS OR THE NEXT DAY I CAN START IT UP...

THIS VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECALL FROM DECEMBER 2014, HOWEVER IS PRESENTING WITH THE SAME AS LISTED PROBLEMS. IT STALLS WHEN DRIVING OVER 65 MILES AN HOUR A LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN AFTER CAR SITS 20 MIN IT WILL START UP AGAIN. I DRIVE A LOT AND HAVE A FAMIL.. THIS IS TERRIBLY DANGEROUS. IT HAS HAPPENED 2 TO 3 TIMES IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE.

MY CAR HAS STALLED COMPLETELY OVER A DOZEN TIMES WHILE DRIVING OR EVEN JUST FROM BEING PARKED AND TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WAS AFTER I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND MOVED TO THE LEFT SHOULDER. THANKFULLY OTHER VEHICLES REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG AND LET ME MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. I COULD'VE HURT SOME ONE ELSE OR MYSELF. I WAS PARKED FOR 5 MINUTES WHEN I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN BUT THE CAR WAS HESITANT. I TRIED AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE FREEWAY SAFELY AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN A FEW MILES FROM THERE. I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY STATED THAT THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES AND THAT THE CAR WAS OKAY. NOW AGAIN ON OCT 8TH...

I WAS ON A 300 MILE ROAD TRIP. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AROUND 70-73 MPH AND DRIVING ON FAIRLY LEVEL ROAD (NO HILLS). THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED AND THE ENGINE RPM WENT UP BETWEEN 4500-5000. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT DOWN SHIFT AUTOMATICALLY. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND SLOW DOWN FOR IT TO SHIFT. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ON THE TRIP. THERE IS LESS THAN 25000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THINKING SERIOUSLY ABOUT GETTING RID OF THIS VEHICLE BEFORE I GET STUCK WITH IT.

WHEN MAKING A TURN AT A STOP LIGHT OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT A LOW SPEED, ENGINE DIES BUT WILL RESTART AFTER IT'S PUT BACK INTO PARK & RESTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVEN TIMES & ONE TIME WHEN NOT TURNING & USUALLY WHEN YOU ARE TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS EACH TIME. SERVICE CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. VEHICLE DOES NOT GIVE ANY INDICATION THAT ENGINE WILL DIE. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON IF IT DIES WHILE TURNING BUT IF NOT TURNING, VEHICLE ENGINE SIMPLY SHUTS OFF, AS IF IGNITION HAS BEEN TURNED OFF BUT VEHICLE HAS TO BE IN PARK AS OPPOSED TO BEING IN DRIVE WHEN ENGINE DIES. THE ENGINE IS QUIET & YOU CAN'T TELL IT'S DIED & YOU HAVE NO STEERING CONTROL. I'VE ALMOST BEEN IN THREE ACCIDENTS, ONE WITH A TRUCK-TRAILER WAITING TO TURN BUT STOPPING ABOUT A FOOT AWAY FROM...

PURCHASED A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT (USED) ON 03/15/2014 WAS GOING TO WORK AT 5AM. ALL OF A SUDDEN WAS IN 2 LANE JEEP STARTED LOOSING POWER, SKIPPING BAD,IT DID NOT WONT TO RUN!!! FINALLY GOT IT OUT OF THE ROAD. THIS WAS IN AUGUST OF 2015. CALLED MY HUSBAND HE CAME WE GOT IT BACK HOME. POLICE STOPPED TO SEE IF I WAS OK NOW I CALLED THE JEEP RECALL PLACE AND GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER SAID NO RECALLS . SO NOW THE JEEP WILL NOT START WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION ON! HAVE TO DO IT SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO CRANK!!! WE LIVE UP ON MOUNTAIN NOW IT STARTED AGAIN THE SAME THING!!!! HESITATES GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN AND ALSO ON STRAIGHT FLAT ROAD!!! SO WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO???? IT SCARES ME THINKING I AM GOING TO GET STRANDED ON SIDE OF ROAD ANYTIME,...

WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME THROUGH PA, MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I LOST SPEED, HORSEPOWER, AND TORQUE; I STRUGGLED TO MAKE IT UP HILL (DIDN'T GO PASS 40 MPH), WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY CARS BEHIND ME. I PULLED OVER AND LET MY CAR REST FOR 30 MINUTES AND MADE IT HOME AT 65 MPH. I NORMALLY TRAVEL ANYWHERE BETWEEN 70 & 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP IN WHEELING, WV THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. THE SERVICE DEPT. TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECORDED MESSAGES (CODES) IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND, THEREFORE, NO SERVICE WAS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE. THE TECH EVEN INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM HE SEES, BUT CHRYSLER HASN'T FIXED IT AND HOPES THERE'S A RECALL. FAST-FORWARD TO AUGUST 31ST, 2015, I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM TWICE WHILE DRIVING HOME THROUGH OH. I HAD AUTOZONE RUN...

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AROUND 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, VEHICLE STOPPED PULLING AND ENGINE RPM SHOT UP OVER 6 ON THE NEEDLE. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN 4 MONTHS.

FOR THE FOURTH TIME, WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON HWAY AT 65 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR, OVERHEAT LAMP GOES ON EVEN THOUGH GAGE DOES NOT RISE AND CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN ACCELERATION IS ATTEMPTED THE VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD WINDING SOUND AND SLOWS DOWN TO LESS THAN 20 MPH. EVENTUALLY ACCELERATION DOES NOT MATTER AS VEHICLE MOVES NO MORE THAN 20 MPH AND WE HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE FOR 30 OR MORE MINUTES. WHEN WE START THE VEHICLE AGAIN, THE VEHICLE STARTS AGAIN WITHOUT ISSUE. WE ALSO HAVE THE LOW TIRE SIGNAL GO ON REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TIRES ARE INFLATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE RPM NEEDLE FLUCTUATED BETWEEN SIX AND SEVEN. THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD SOUND AND THE GEAR WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I NOTICE THAT WHEN I GO START MY JEEP IT THE ENGINE HAS A BIT OF HESITATION STARTING, WHEN IT STARTS IT LIKE THUMP. ALSO WHILE DRIVE MY VEHICLE SEEM TO INCREASE AN AT TIME DECREASE ON ITS OWN. TODAY I DID A SEARCH ON RECALLS AND FOUND ONE SAFETY RECALL N52. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR MY JEEP. I EXPLAINED THAT NHTSA HAD THE RECALL INFORMATION ON THEIR WEB SITE, AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS NOT THE NHTSA WHO PUTS RECALLS. RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC. I'M A LITTLE BAFFLE BY THE WOMAN AT CHRYSLER'S COMMENT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT SHE HAS NO IDEA OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE. I THANK THE WOMAN AND STATED THAT I HONESTLY HOPE THE INFORMATION GIVEN IS CORRECT AND THAT I AM SAFE ON THE ROADS....

I WORK FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH ONE OF OUR SHARED FLEET VEHICLES. ON 5/11/15, I WAS DRIVING A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT FROM PITTSBURGH, PA TO ERIE, PA ON INTERSTATE 79 NORTH. APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 HOURS INTO THE TRIP, I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR. I NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS QUICKLY LOSING POWER. I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD ON THE LEFT DUE TO AN EMBANKMENT. AFTER SEVERAL CARS AND TRACTOR TRAILERS HAD TO BRAKE AND SWERVE TO PASS ME ON THE RIGHT, I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD JUST BEFORE IT STOPPED COMPLETELY. I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CALLED FOR A TOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DECREASED AFTER AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLES SPEED EVENTUALLY INCREASED AFTER DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

UPON BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, I NOTICED A VIBRATION AND RELATED NOISE COMING FROM BEHIND THE FIREWALL OF MY JEEP; HOWEVER, AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WHILE SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE NOISE WENT AWAY. UPON PLACING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND ACCELERATING TO 5-10 MILES AN HOUR THE VIBRATION AND NOISE, WHICH I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS A IDLING MOTORCYCLE RETURNS. IF THE JEEP IS TRAVELING AT A SPEED UNDER 20 MPH OR SITTING IN DRIVE AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THIS ISSUE IS PRESENT. WITHIN ABOUT A WEEK OF THIS HAPPENING, THE JEEP HAD ISSUES STARTING. ONCE THE KEY WAS PLACED IN THE IGNITION AND AN ATTEMPT TO START THE CARE WAS MADE, THE ENGINE HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING. IT WOULD ENGINE WOULD TURNOVER SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD FINALLY START. I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE IT AS THE SAME EXPERIENCE AN INDIVIDUAL WOULD EXPERIENCE...

PURCHASED VEHICLE, DROVE HOME AND NOTICED THAT WHEN I DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH A LOUD WHINING NOISE APPEARS AND I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK OUT AND IT HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,153.

I STOPPED TO GET MAIL AND AS I WAS ENTERING TRAFFIC THE TRUCK ENGINE DIED. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. *TR

AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY THE CAR DIED ON THE ROAD. *TR

AS I WAS TURNING A CORNER THE ENGINE DIED. NO WARNING LIGHTS. *TR

IT IS A JEEP PATRIOT 2014, WHEN I DRIVE AT HIGH SPEEDS HALF THE ENGINE DIES. WITHOUT DISPLAYING ANY NOTICE OR CODE. I WAS OFF TO A 6-7 TIMES. I'VE TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THIS INDICATES THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SHOW THE FAULT. THE GAS CAP HAS TO LEAVE FOR VARIOUS OCCASIONS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT..AS I WAS TURNING, THE CAR CUT OFF..THERE WAS NO WARNING OR NOISES. JUST DEAD..I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT WITH NO PROBLEMS. .LATER THAT DAY I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND IT CUT OFF AGAIN. IT IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER A FULL DAY THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE MY PROBLEM AND NO SERVICE LIGHTS WERE ON SO THEY GAVE ME MY CAR BACK. TOLD TO WAIT TILL A LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE GIVEN IT 1 WEEK WITH IT CUTTING OFF SEVERAL TIMES. AND YET NO ENGINE LIGHT IS ON..I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR ESPECIALLY AFTER SOMEONE ALMOST HIT ME WHEN IT STALLED. LASTLY, WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, I WAS TURNING AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND IT STALLED AGAIN...
