The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Patriot. While driving over 40 mph, the vehicle randomly stalled without warning. The failure recurred four times. The vehicle was pushed over to the side of the road. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to tunkhannock auto mart: Dodge Ram Chrysler Jeep (located at 509 joseph hunter highway, tunkhannock, pa 18657), but a failure code could not be found. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and provided case number: 5843398. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
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: 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.
The engine is randomly stalling. It stalled the other day at the highway and keeps randomly doing it without any warning. I have to pull over every time and wait a couple of minutes to turn it on. It seems by reading this has been reported for the same model multiple times.
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.
Intake manifold system: The intake manifold is causing the vehicle to stall and turn off while driving. Difficultly starting the vehicle and poor gas mileage.
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.
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.
