I had the catalyst converter recall fixed in 2020 and now I am having to fix/replace the converter they replaced with the recall not even 3 years later and have been told that it wouldn-??t be associated with the recall or replaced under warranty with it even though the life span on a catalyst converter is usually around 10 years not just little over 2 years old I shouldn-??t be having to get it replace and pay the costs of a more recently fixed recall
I've had my car since January 2022. Since last year, there's been a clicking noise once I begin driving & it'll click for awhile. For these past 3 months my check engine light has came on. The message from O'Reilly's read "Evaporative Emissions System Small Leak Detected." The 1st time I was told to get the Emissions System Cleaner. The light went off. Second month, light came back on with the same message. This time I was told to buy a new gas cap. I did, light never went off. I bought the advance emissions cleaner & the light went off. This being month 3, light came on again June 2nd. Again told to get gas cap, I did & light never went off. Last week Tuesday, getting on the freeway, I accelerated as I got over 5 lanes. When I got to Lane 3, my car jerked & by the time I got to the 5th lane, my vehicle started decelerating, with my traction control light coming on. I pulled over, being on the left side of the freeway. Turned my car off then restarted it and it wouldn't drive though my foot was on the gas pedal. Turned off then back on after a bit and it started driving slow then stopped, turning it off. Sat for a bit longer then started her again. Drove on the shoulder to get a clearance to get to the other side, by the time I got to Lane 3 the car started decelerating again & the traction light came back on. While trying to be safe, I managed to get over the last 2 lanes and had to stop now on the right shoulder of the freeway. Turned it off. Sat for awhile and started it back up so I can get to the next exit. I drove the shoulder & even at a slower speed the car shut off again. Traction light came on each time it decelerate. Sat again for another while. And this time when I turned it back on, it started shaking which I immediately turned it off! I had to get towed. I researched, there's a recall for the time frame my vehicle was manufactured, which was May 2016 for the crankshaft senor causing the engine to stall, which never got fixed on its Carfax I have.
After filling up vehicle (not overfilled) it stalls when I come to a stop or slow down for a turn. This just started today after filling up from the same fuel station I always use. The Jeep restarts after a few seconds after turning it completely off.
I purchased the vehicle 4 months ago, and this began at the end of September. Engine stalls out when driving down the highway, check engine light and road hazard lights come on and car trying to accelerate itself at times and other times won-€™t go over 40 mph. If you let off the brake the car immediately launches forward. I have almost been hit as the car stalls out of no where. I can pull over and turn it off then back on and it will drive for a few miles then happen again. The car was hooked up to the code reader and it says throttle body injector P2173

SUV intermittently stops with no warning which is unsafe. It-€™s been happening for a few weeks. I have been in traffic multiple times and the vehicle just stops with no warning and no engine light alert. I-€™ve almost been hit from behind since the vehicle loses all power and have to guide it to the side of the road or to the middle turn lane. I took the vehicle to NTB and the jeep gave a code for camshaft. I know there was a recall for this, but it seem that my jeep is not part of that recall. I-€™m not sure why because I-€™m having the same issue as the recall. Recall S89.
While slowly accelerating from a stop, my 2016 Jeep Patriot engine stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. I lost power steering and & brakes and was luckily able to muscle the car over to the side of road out of traffic. I waited several minutes and restarted the engine which then operated normally afterward. This engine stalling has occurred repeatedly & more frequently (6+ times in last 10 days) while accelerating from a stop which is very dangerous in cross-traffiic intersections and on freeways. Additionally now, the engine rpm-€™s intermittently surge notably up and down +/- 2,000 rpm while driving with steady un-changing pressure on gas pedal. I have seen no engine failure indicators. I have had this vehicle serviced at two different independent repair shops that couldn-€™t re-create the problem & guessed it was the throttle body and then cleaned/serviced it. The problem persists more frequently, and is the exact problem listed in the S89 ChryslerJeep recall. My vin is not referenced in the recall notice-even though it is from the same Jeep manufacture period. This recall should definitely apply to my vehicle. I drive 40 freeway miles daily to work and am concerned for my safety and others. My vehicle is available for inspection if needed and I am bringing it tomorrow to a Jeep dealer in hopes of having it repaired under the recall. As the original new owner, I strongly feel that Chrysler Jeep needs to apply this recall to my vehicle and support their owner-€™s safety.
Yes I got a oil change now the warning light comes on change oil and I talk to others that drive a vehicle like mine and they have the same issue it-€™s time for a recalled on it before it caused more problems thanks
While turning a corner my car turned off. Happened on several occasions. Has happened on highway, in town and in parking lot. At low speeds and accelerating- car stalls & turns off. VERY DANGEROUS
On 9/22/21, out 2016 Jeep Patriot broke down on Interstate 495 in Massachusetts, during rush-hour. While driving the vehicle, the engine shut down at highway speed, forcing us off of the road. A RED indicator light on the dashboard identified the problem as a bad "Throttle Body". We had the car towed to the dealer where we bought the vehicle, and they confirmed that is was a bad Throttle Body. Repair cost was $841. There was a recall for this part, but the recall only covered vehicles built between May and July 2016. Having an indicator light on the dashboard for this single part...is very telling. It shows that Jeep has a lot of problems with this part. But since our vehicle was built prior to this small recall window, and has more miles on than the standard warranty would cover, Jeep will not reimburse us for the repair.
A recall has been issued on 2016 Jeep Patriots that are VIN specific (recall S89). However even though our vehicle was included in the manufacturing dates portion of the recall, it was not included in the VIN specific portion. The vehicle is doing the exact things that are included in the recall - it constantly stalls while driving on the interstate or in town. Shutting down the engine totally and then making it where the power steering and brakes do not function and is an extreme dangerous situation for a female driver to try and control and restart the vehicle without getting in an accident. I feel that my vehicle should be included in this recall and that Jeep should repair my vehicle free of charge. I would hate for someone to get injured for not including this vehicle in a recall that is only VIN specific.
A recall has been issued on 2016 Jeep Patriots that are VIN specific (S89). However even though our vehicle was included in the manufacturing dates, it was not included on the recall. I had to pay out of pocket to replace the camshaft/crankshaft sensor. The vehicle was constantly stalling out on my daughter while driving the vehicle which shut off the power steering and brakes. This was a very dangerous situation and I paid to get it repaired. I think that the recall should include my vehicle and I should get reimbursed for my payment.
My jeep sputters like it's going to shut off. It does occasionally and I loose steering and speed control and The brakes dont work. Not sure if it's a fuel issue a transmission issue or what the deal is but it has done it forever. It jerks around like it is in the wrong gear and often is trying to operate in 6th gear when going 30 mph. It's not changing gears...it isn't accelerating correctly when pulling out in traffic. It is a disaster waiting to happen and has been. The local dealer just says wait for recall info. It's a jeep. It will be coming eventually....hello I drive my kids around daily
When my car first started having problems it shut off when at a drive through. Then it started happening on the highway when I slow down to make a turn or stop at a traffic light with no warning light just shut off. Then it began shutting off just during normal short driving. I would be going 40-60 on the freeway and the steering wheel would lock up & my car would start shutting off. I was still able to engage the brake, safely move my car to the shoulder, put it on park, then restart it, then proceeded on my mission. This past week it started dying when I was in bumper to bumper traffic but this time only the tire yellow warning light came on & the steering wheel locked up & I tried to step on the brake pedal but the Jeep continued to roll until it decided to stop on its own. Fortunately, I was able to move it to the shoulder of the freeway while the Jeep was still moving. Once my Jeep was safely on the shoulder I put it on park then turned the ignition off and then turned it back on & would keep going like normal. On Monday, April 5, 2021, I was parked at work & when I tried to leave for home I turned my Jeep on and it stalled immediately, so I turn the ignition off & back on but it started to shake and very choppy but it never actually started so I had it towed home because I strongly felt my personal "life safety" compromised and felt very insecure driving it on the freeway. These incidents happened several times throughout the last 1&1/2 years.
I was driving on a 4-lane highway in the passing lane. These indicator warning lights came on: Electronic throttle control, engine, traction control. The car started bucking and slowed down. I was able to move into the non-passing lane and pull into a strip mall parking lot. I shut the car off. I left it off for a couple of minutes. When I turned it back on, all indicator lights were off except for the engine light. I turned the car on and off two more times. The second time, the ngine light came back on again. The third time, no lights came on. I drove the car to a repair shop. On the way there, the engine throttle control light came on again and the car started bucking. After approximately one minute, the indicator light went off and the car stopped bucking. I made it to the repair shop without further problems. At the repair shop, they ran diagnostics on the vehicle. They found no current codes but found old codes relating to the electronic throttle control. They stated that without a current code, they could not help me and asked me to pick up the car. They said the next time it happens, I should take the vehicle to a dealership because the problem could be caused by a multitude of items and finding the cause would be a trial and error project.
I believe my vehicle should be repaired at the expense of the manufacturer as the symptoms I'm experiencing are identical to the issues addressed in tsb: Nhtsa16V907000 from 2016/12/16 crankshaft sensor may fail causing engine stall. Apparently, my VIN# was not included in the initial recall, yet my 2016 Jeep Patriot is demonstrating the exact problems cited in the initial recall. My symptoms include intermittent triggering of the vehicle to enter limp mode resulting in loss of ability to accelerate and drastic reduction of engine output power. Electronic throttle control light illuminates, sporadically. Engine idles roughly and/or at low rpms sporadically. Cycling the vehicle off and back on will sometimes result in the a return to normal vehicle performance, only to have the same issue resurface the next day. The crankshaft position sensor and its wiring harness, the intake camshaft position sensor, exhaust camshaft position sensor its wiring harness and electrical connectors and throttle body should all be replaced. In addition, the necessary computer reset/reprogramming should be performed as well.
While driving, rpms would drop to 0 and vehicle would not accelerate. Vehicle would lose power steering and lights dimmed but battery and alternator were working fine. Engine code history showed an error for the crankshaft ignition sensor and throttle body.
The electronic throttle control system warning light came on during highway travel and the vehicle slowed down due to lack of power. It happened quickly and posed a danger as I was not able to pull over immediately. The car was unable to go faster than 20mph and I had to have it towed 70 miles home. This failure has happened with only 33K miles. This sudden and early failure created a dangerous situation.
When driving the engine seems to sputter, stall, jerk, rev the RPM at random when driving. It happens on the highway going 70 or in a neighborhood going 25 while driving or starting to go from a stop. It will jerk really hard like it is going to stall out but no lights come on the dash to indicate something is wrong and I have taken it into the dealership many times and they tell me it is normal, I've never had any vehicle behave this way except when I was 15 learning how to drive a manual transmission and that wasn't the fault of the vehicle. It also will while in park randomly rev the rpms when nothing is being used in the vehicle, if I then put it in drive and back to park it usually settles down but not always, sometimes I have to shut it off and back on. The jerking and sputtering while driving has gotten a lot worse in the last few months, over the past few years it would randomly do it but it happens more and more now every time I drive and I am conscerned that one day it will stall out and cause a major accident. I have inquired many times about this to no avail from 3 different dealerships.
