My 2016 Jeep Patriot 4X4 engine light is staying on. When I took it to a mechanic to have it read it stats faulty cramshaft and camshaft position sensors. My engine has stalled, loss of acceleration and power, shuddering, and jerking that is continuously happens. Jeep manufactures said its not there problem. I need help with my vehicle, not just for my safety but for the safety of my kids. Also the problem is only getting worse.

To whom it may concern I purchased a 2016 Jeep Patriot Sport on May 21 2022, the vehicle since date of purchase has been stalling at acceleration speeds of 65 MPH, as well as in reverse while parking while idle at stop light and stop sign upon stalling NO warning lamp has been present. I have contacted multiple jeep dealerships upon getting a diagnostic for this matter as well as recalls, I was told by jeep by customer service that they did not do recalls on the 2016 models any longer. In the mist of trying to get it serviced, By JEEP the vehicle was serviced 3 times in total by NYC AUTOMART with no avail. The crank shaft sensor was changed BY NYC AUTOMART twice still no solutions.

Within 1.5 years my car kept slowing down when driving out of no where. We almost crashed because the car literally won-€™t pick up speed or just jolts a few times then stops. We spent over $1000 to have it fixed with 3 different mechanics. They said it was the crankshaft I believe and catalytic converters. We just got the car brand new in 2016 so this has been frustrating because we get oil changes every 3 months and take great car of the car. We-€™ve had two get brakes don-€™t over and over and also when you turn the wheels it-€™s loud and sounds like the ending of a roller coaster when you here it turning. The rides are not smooth either you can see my hand shaking hard when driving even at slow speeds like 35 mph. Jeep really sold us a lemon and we have been paying such a high car note on top fixing things each year. After so many complaints, they really should reimburse people who spend money fixing the same issue. A law suit may handle the issues as well but due diligence would be Jeep seeing the issues and repairing the problem or refunding for the repairs. I-€™m hoping someone else will see my complaints and think twice before purchasing this vehicle

I am a service contract administrator. I recently received a claim where the contract holders vehicle would stall. The shop stated a recall had been performed by Auto Nation Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Littleton, CO. ( 7980 W Tufts Ave, Littleton, CO 80123 ) ( 303-578-6099 ) I called over, gave them the VIN, and asked for documentation on the repair. The shop said they would send it over. In the meantime I had the shop the vehicle was currently at send me pictures of the wiring. The repair was poorly done, and Auto Nation is refusing to rectify their poor workmanship. The service advisor in questions name is Scott. He would not return phone calls, and never sent over the requested documentation. My company will take care of the customers repairs. Attached are the pictures of the poor repair. My purpose here is to report poor workmanship, and let you know this dealership is not repairing vehicles to either manufacturer, or federal standards.

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

Engine shut off while driving

The Jeep Patriot 2016 latitude 4WD has been having issues "jerking" and today had a couple moments where all power and steering was gone and the accelerator pedal wouldn't pick the car back up to speed. I was driving at about 55mph on a highway and all power went out and I lost steering. It was very scary and dangerous. Please Jeep fox this problem and own up to the manufacturer defect your vehicle is reported over and over to have!
