This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
It started acting up Feb 1, 2020 not long after I bought it (Nov 8 2019). It would work, then it wouldn't. It is a hazard to drive because it stalls out or chugs along at a snail's pace until you can pull off the road to shut it down and restart it hoping it accelerates. It is still an issue (Aug 2022). I have not been able to drive it for 2 years even though I am still paying on it because it is just not safe for myself or others on the road. It is a hazard all the way around. I keep checking for recalls, but the sites say there are none. However, finally there may be a ray of hope in solving this awful mess. I just got an email last week from CarComplaints.com about this same issue. It listed the 2016 Jeep Patriot as having that issue and being recalled. The Manufactured dates listed there are May 9, 2016 to July 15, 2016. My door sticker says build date 7-16 MDH 071000 486AA. How do I get this looked at and fixed under the recall? I have NOT driven it since August 26, 2020. It is now Aug 7, 2022. I am still paying on this and can't drive it because it is unsafe to travel anywhere chugging along and being a hazard.
This is the third time we have taken our vehicle to be serviced in 2022. The first time was January 2022, next June 2022, and the third a week later after the June 2022. The issue is that the throttle body sensor light comes on and the car starts to act up and has no power. The same issue has occurred all three times. The throttlebody has been replaced twice already and we are currently waiting to see if it will need to be replaced a third time. I believe this poses a safety or hazard risk as this happens when driving during high speeds on the freeway as well as on the streets and can cause a collision.
Vehicle will stall at any speed without warning when letting go of gas pedal. Check engine light will come on once out of every 3-4 stalls with an engine code pointing to Crankshaft Position Sensor. VIN is not part of recall group however experiencing identical symptoms.
Vehicle engine stopped. Loss of steering. Yes Yes Engine light was on, hesitation on acceleration. Safety recall S89 has been done 5-3-2017 at 4,973 miles, and was told that there was a 2 year warranty on the repair?
The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle was shaking. The contact stated that the check engine and electronic throttle warning light illuminated the instrument panel. The contact drove safely to a local mechanic who diagnosed the failure as an electronic throttle failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 64,495.
The contact-??s daughter owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the RPM fell to zero and the vehicle hesitated and jerked while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact also stated that the vehicle would intermittently shut off while at a red light without warning. The vehicle would restart immediately after failure. The vehicle was taken to a dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
Our 2016 Jeep Patriot is experiencing stalling in the motor when trying to accelerate at any speed. This happens frequently as well as our temp gauge running hot. We looked up recalls and seen this same issue, typed in our VIN-?? recalls are for same year and make, but not ours. Can we get this reported" Or how do we go about seeing if ours will qualify for coverage since it-??s the same thing happening in the recalls" We-??ve had several close calls of being hit because our vehicle stalls.
Crankshaft position sensor. Engine stalled in traffic. Had to stop, place car in park, turn engine off and then back on. Independent mechanic has confirmed issue. Error code P0335. Vehicle has not been inspected by manufacture or others. Engine has stalled previously with NO WARNING SIGNS. Symptoms have been present since purchase.
While driving my Patriot, as I turned into the gas station the check engine light, traction control light and ETC (red lightning bolt) all popped on at the same time. My vehicle instantly went into limp mode. When In park, stayed a consistent 1,500 RPM-??s. All of this happened without warning as the car drove and ran like normal prior. Thankfully I was only.5 miles from home and was able to get it home. Code pulled: P2173 car has always been maintained on time since date of purchase.
Vehicle unable to reach speed above 30mph. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) symbol shows up in error on dashboard. Unable to accelerate beyond 30mph. Vehicle drives with unstable and jerky motions. Have had this issue before and dealership mechanic reset computer, downloaded a system update to solve issue. This occurred about 2019. Issue has represented itself.
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 driving the car, the motor just stops running unexpectedly, with no warning at all. While driving on the highway it stopped running and had to try to control the car without the power steering because the car had stopped and muscled the car as it coasted to the side of the road, while getting the car to the berm. A semi truck was behind us and came very close to hitting us. I had to put the car in park, turn the key to off position and then restart it to resume driving. This a road hazard and accident waiting to happen. This has happened about a dozen of times within the past month and seems to be doing it more often. Also, when driving, with my foot on the gas pedal, it seems as if someone hits the brake for a second and jerks the car and resumes as if nothing has happened. After we got it the car start I called the dealership and told them what had happened, we took it in the same day, and picked it up the next day. We were told that they could not replicate what we had reported. They could not find anything wrong with the vehicle.

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
My car hesitates and will jolt when trying to accelerate as well as stall when I am driving 50+ mph sometimes and completely shut off causing me to have to put it in park, turn it off and turn it back on again while I am in the middle of driving which increases the risk of an accident and I feel extremely unsafe
