Known Recall Investigations
  • Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation as of 20210917

    From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds).

    In a letter dated april 3, 2013, chrysler group llc submitted a defect information report (dir) to nhtsa identifying a safety defect in the fuel delivery system in approximately 20,532 model year (my) 2012 jeep patriot (11,624) and compass (8,908) vehicles manufactured from october 18, 2011 through may 7, 2012 and equipped with certain fuel tanks produced between october 18, 2011 and january 26, 2012 (recall 13v-120).According to chrysler, jeep patriot and compass vehicles equipped with saddle type fuel tanks built during the affected period may experience low siphoning rate through the transfer tube from the secondary to the primary side of the fuel tank.Chryslers investigation determined that a material change by the transfer tube supplier (ti automotive) led to malformed tubes being shipped to the final tank assembly supplier (kautex).The malformed transfer tubes may make the siphoning process more difficult to start and maintain under certain operating conditions.Sustained driving during this condition may deplete fuel in the primary side of the fuel tank and lead to engine stall without warning.Kautex established a 100% sort on january 26, 2012 as a countermeasure for the malformed tubes being used in production.Chrysler is able to trace fuel tank build dates by vehicle identification number and recall 13v-120 only includes vehicles equipped withsaddle tanks made during the affected period.Approximately 97 percent of the recalled patriot vehicles (11,277 out of 11,624) were from october 18, 2011 through january 26, 2012.Chrysler determined that a few suspect tanks were used on vehicles produced as late as may 7, 2012 and is including any such vehicles in the recall.The office of defects investigation (odi) analyzed complaint data provided by chrysler as well as complaints submitted to odi from consumers to identify stalling incidents related to fuel delivery.Odis analysis identified a total of 64 engine stall incidents related to fuel delivery, all of which involved patriot 4x4 vehicles equipped with saddle type fuel tanks.The patriot 4x4 vehicles account for a little over half of the subject vehicle population (59,783 vehicles).Forty-nine (49) of the incidents involved the approximately 11,277 patriot 4x4 vehicles that were built from october 18, 2011 and january 26, 2012 and equipped with tanks from the period associated with the transfer tube material change.This equates to a complaint rate of 434.5 incidents per 100,000 vehicles sold.Fifteen (15) fuel delivery related engine stalls were identified in the remaining 48,506 patriot 4x4 vehicles, resulting in a complaint rate of 30.9 incidents per 100,000 vehicles.The rate in the non-recalled patriot 4x4 vehicles increases to 68.0 incidents per 100,000 vehicles if stalls with no-restart and unknown cause are added to the analysis.The patriot front-wheel drive vehicles are equipped with single reservoir fuel tanks and are not affected by the saddle-tank fuel delivery issue.Owners of the recalled vehicles will be notified to take their vehicle to a jeep dealer, who will replace the fuel tank transfer tube to prevent any incidents related to this issue. Chrysler will begin notifying dealers and owners in may 2013. This preliminary evaluation is closed.The odi reports cited above can be viewed at www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following identification numbers (odi nos.): 10481572, 10481452, 10481279, 10481254, 10481222, 10481141, 10481126, 10481110, 10501057, 10478934, 10472705, 10470121, 10468517, 10467488, 10466357, 10464745, 10464449, 10464135, 10462338, 10459383, 10421019, 10410937, 10481392.

Took jeep patriot to firestone service center for full inspection. Upon completion of inspection was told by the tech that my vehicle had severe underbody rust/ rot and that the front and rear crossmembers needed to be replaced among many other components needed repair/replaced such as complete brake job, cv axles, gas tank bracket and two seized lug/studs. Apparently, fca has a warranty extension called x69 bulletin that repairs the crossmembers for rust/rot but it is only for vehicles manufactured before 24 january 2012. My vehicle was manufactured on may 2012. This is unacceptable. It is clear that this issue was not rectified for vehicles manufactured after 24 january 2012 and this issue should be subject to a full recall and not a narrow warranty extension. Broken/compromised crossmembers could result at a minimum of vehicle destruction and serious injury to driver/passengers and a maximum loss of life due to this manufacturing defect. The nhtsa should act accordingly and force fca to start a recall immediately.

I am scared to death that i will get unexpectedly punched in the back of my head while driving. I drive narrow mountain roads and a lot of two lane highways where one mistake can be fatal. My cervical stenosis may also result in a horrific neck injury. My wife also is unlikely to survive a deployment without injury, being less robustly-built than me. Fiat chrylsler should replace the defective part before others get hurt. Nhtsa should tell fiat chrysler to issue a safety recall.

It is dangerous/distracting while driving and i'm afraid it will eventually cause electronics and the jeep's main computer to fail. While turning, the water will soak the driver or passenger suddenly depending in which direction the turn was made. The vehicle was taken to the dealership on two occasions to identify the problem and fix the issue. A video of it happening was shown to them so there would be no misunderstandings and to help them see the problem. Both times the dealership said they fixed the problem, however, it still leaks.

A few months ago my vehicle started to randomly stall and jerk. We thought nothing of it. Then a few weeks ago my engine light came on and a warning that something was wrong with the fuel cap. A few days later all of that stopped coming on. Yesterday as i was pulling out of my neighborhood several lights came on for the stability control and the electrical throttle light came on as well. I was going up a hill and my vehicle barely made it up the hill. I got back to my driveway turned it off and tried again and it was the same issue. I've made an appointment at the dealership to find out the problem, but this came out of no where. I haven't tried to drive the vehicle for safety reasons.

I was going up a hill and my vehicle barely made it up the hill. I got back to my driveway turned it off and tried again and it was the same issue. I've made an appointment at the dealership to find out the problem, but this came out of no where. I haven't tried to drive the vehicle for safety reasons.

When in idle at a traffic light, the jeep engine shut off randomly with a beeping alarm and red flashing bolt on the dash, required me to turn the key to the off position and restart the car, this has also happened once while vehicle was in motion. Battery is new and both the battery and alternator tested good. When accelerating, braking, or steering, the cabin lights, headlights and dash/radio dim or brighten often slight flickering and some times the interior roof cab lights randomly turn on while driving even when no door is ajar and dimmer switch is turned down or completely off. Appears there is some sort of electrical short or power draw issue.

Car wouldn't start one month ago. It wouldn't even turn after 3 attempts. After 10 minutes it started right up and had been normal. Today, 9/15/19, my car started up fine but 2 minutes into driving at 20mph my car lost all power. I was driving through my work parking lot driving in a forward motion. Several lights lit up in my dashboard prior to losing power. I was fortunate enough to not be on the freeway. I put my car in brake and restarted it. It started right up, but now has check engine light displayed. My battery is a few months old. I've tested it and it's charged. I'm afraid to drive my car and consider it not in a drivable state.

My son is driving on the freeway at 70mph during the summer and all of a sudden, his car literally decelerates. He goes from 70mph to 20mph immediately. This has happened 3 times this summer, 4 times last summer (i have posted before), and multiple times in 2017 (everytime he comes home from college in the summer!). This last time it happened at the beginning of this month (sept), he was almost rear-ended and then almost sideswiped. The dealerships can't duplicate this problem (he's been to two different dealerships), but jeep knows there is an issue (there are numerous complaints). The car shows no signs of overheating and gives no notice that there is a problem. Once he has sat along the side of the freeway for 1/2 to 1 hour, he can start his car and drive again. When is jeep going to recognize there is an issue? We have paid to have transmission fluid changed - didn't help. I see that a dealership elsewhere with someone else who had had the same problem figured it out and said that it was the internal oil pump of the transmission that was malfunctioning and causing the overheats. My car is still under warranty and i need to get this fixed before it isn't in december. Please help. Jeep isn't doing anything.

My car stalled after being parked for 45 min. In a parking lot of a local store, as i attempted to back out of the space. I restarted it and as i tried to back out, while moving only a foot or so, it stalled again. It made no sound at all while turning the key, but all the electronics worked, ie. Lights, windows, radio, etc. It would not restart, after multiple attempts, i left it there over night and the next day it restarted, and i drove it for about a couple of minutes to the end of the lot where it stalled again while moving about 5 mph. It would not restart, so i had it towed to a shop where a friend works. They could not find the cause, but did get a code for the ecu/ecm. I don't know what number the error code was, but they don't do those types of repairs. It remains in their lot at this time as i try to figure out my next step.

Car makes a whining noise once it's been driving for a little bit. It is in sync when you accelerate (whines up when pushing gas, whines down when you let go). It hesitates to accelerate which is extremely dangerous on the freeway. On multiple occasions i've been driving down the road and the transmission light comes on, the whining noise continues and the car will just slow down and eventually stop. I've had to cross multiple lanes on the freeway to try and get over to the shoulder so i didn't break down and get hit right away. When starting the car starts extremely rough and is very shaky. Dealerships have told me the only way to fix it is to replace the transmission which will cost over $4,000. There are plenty of websites that people are complaining of the exact same issue. It is a common issue across the board with patriots. These need to be recalled, people are spending thousands getting their transmissions replaced because they are breaking down on the highway and causing accidents and injuries.

The cvt transmission of this vehicle (2012 jeep patriot) is prone to overheating. This occurs when traveling for a few hours at high speeds. I have found this to occur twice when traveling around 70 miles per hour over a period of 2-3 hours. The car's overheat light comes on, followed by a steady decrease in speed and inability to accelerate, presumably to protect the transmission from further damage.

It was confirmed by the dealership my 2012 jeep patriot been diagnosed with an internal fuel tank failure. My manufacturer date was nov. 2011 and a recall was issued in dec. 2011 to replace the fuel tank (of course my vehicle didn't qualify). I do not have $1600 to replace something that chrysler should take responsibility for and fix. I have a feeling that they knew that these gas tanks were faulty before dec. 2011, and in order to not have to replace them, they took the easy and barely any money out of their pocket route and did a recall for the transfer hose hoping that would correct the issue which if that's what they thought, sorry it didn't work. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle, let alone trying to put gas in it with the gas pump shutting off every few cents. The only way i can put gas in is by a very slow trickle which takes about 10 - 15 minutes. Within the last few weeks, it's getting even more difficult as i hear the gas backing up in the filler neck. The dealership was not any help other than telling me how much it was going to cost without any explanation as to why it happened. We need help in getting chrysler to address this issue before someone gets killed. Someone please hear us and help us and do something now!!!

I was driving on a highway when i lost power to the vehicle. Fortunately, traffic was not heavy and i was able to drift off to the side of the road. I had two passengers and we were able to push it off to the side so we were as far off the road as possible. Time was approximately 8pm on march 2, 2019. This is at least the 3rd incident we have had with this vehicle with this same problem. I believe there was a 4th but i will have to verify that with my wife who is out of town and i have not talked to her yet this morning. It is her car and i was using it. I believe the first incident occurred in the summer of 2015 when my son was driving it. While my son was waiting to be towed he tried starting the car after 20 minutes and it did start. He let the tow truck and dealership know that and proceeded on his way without incident. The dealership has looked at the incident when it happened again and they say their computer is not registering the problem so therefore it must not exist. Our mechanic has looked at it and he believes it is a throttle body sensor and for some reason the vehicle shuts down when it thinks it's too hot and upon sitting it cools down and thus starts. However, we sat for about an hour before the tow truck arrived on march 2, 2019 and i was unable to start the vehicle. I had it towed to the dealership and that is where it is now. I am not a mechanic so my explanation of what is causing the problem may not be totally accurate. What i do know is that had this happened when traffic was heavy i may not be alive today to be reporting this recurring problem.

My 2012 jeep patriot while driving on the highway started to decelerate from 65 mph to 30 mph very quickly. I had to cross three lanes of traffic to pull off the highway. The temperature light for the transmission came on but went out after a few minutes of having the car idle. This was the only warning light on. This happened twice more after driving for more than an hour. I brought the car to the dealer along with a picture of the warning light and was told they were unable to say what the problem was because there was no code stored on the computer. I then took it to a local mechanic who also said there was no code to work from but had experience in dealing with what i described and said it was the transmission and that this was a common problem with the cvt transmissions that jeep had used. He said this was pretty common knowledge among mechanics and they are waiting to se if jeep will do a recall or fix the problem. As of now a new transmission is $4500.00 plus cost of a rental car for more than a week since the dealership can't seem to have them delivered in less than 7 business days. Not only is this basically fraud for knowingly selling defective products but a safety hazard to all drivers on our highways with the sudden deceleration of the vehicle taking chances with all of our lives when it could be prevented.

I want to be reimbursed for the money (i'm not a large corporation with billions of dollars) i put out for repairs to a vehicle that should have been recalled sooner and were caused by fca's attempts to save money and circumvent the epa's emissions and safety standards. Thereby jeopardizing the health and safety of hard working honest americans.

As several other 2012 jeep patriot 4x4 owners have noted, it takes me forever to fill my tank - pump keeps clicking off. This started at about 70,00 miles - i now have 80,00 miles on it. Of course my vehicle, which i purchased new, was not part of the recall to replace the faulty fuel tank transfer tube. Even if i pay out of pocket to have this repaired i know this is not the real problem as others have noted - it is a problem with the gas tank vent system which would necessitate the replacement of the whole gas tank. C'mon chrysler, please admit this is a problem and do the right thing. If not, i will not be purchasing any future chrysler vehicles.

The transmission temperature gauge has come on when traveling at normal highway speeds, causing an immediate loss of power and requiring me to pull over and let the engine cool down. 2 jeep dealerships have assessed the vehicle in the days after the incidents, neither of which could offer any remedy. Both dealerships' service managers mentioned that these vehicles' transmissions are often problematic and do not handle high temperatures well, but with no active recall, neither could offer any recourse or even a remedy. This is clearly a case of a poorly engineered product (the jatco cvt) that the manufacturer is avoiding dealing with, at the expense and safety of its consumers. In fact, jeep no longer uses this transmission - they replaced it in 2014 - clearly they knew there was a problem. This issue is a blatant safety hazard and needs to be investigated more thoroughly and the manufacturer held to account for the unsafe conditions they know their consumers are in. Unacceptable!!!

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 was in motion, rear driver side tire would not roll correctly and was making a noise under the hood. It was towed to a repair shop and after running diagnostic testing found that the cvt transmission, drive shaft joint and transmission cooler had to be replaced. Per the repair shop "the transmission had catastrophic failure" at 96,986k miles and without any advanced warning i had no choice but to agree to have a rebuilt transmission, drive shaft and cooler be installed because mine could not be repaired. The only thing they could salvage was the transfer case which was thought to have been the issue but the diagnostic testing found that was ok. Three weeks it is finally fixed and appears to be working fine.

I called the dealership to let them know because i had to pick up my kids from the bus stop, she told me to bring it up during my oil change the next week. I did and they told me it wasn't their problem, the recall had nothing to do with the airbags, and quoted me at $600 for them to go through my car and check the wires. The service manager did tell me the obd 2 reading was B1C29-left side seat thorax squib 1 open and B1C2D- right side seat thorax squib 1 open; and advised me to unplug and plug all the connectors under the seat. I did this and nothing happened. I called them back and they said they couldn't do anything to fix it and it was my fault not theirs and i recieved the same $600 quote to fix it.

As i am driving down the road, the car shuts off. I am unable to accelerate and have no power steering. This has happened several times with speeds anywhere from 2 mph to 70 mph. Once happened while pulling out of the driveway, driving on the highway, and on secondary roads. At first i could just pull off the road, turn the car off and then on again. It would start right up. The last few times, i had to wait for a longer period of time sitting on the side of the road before it would start. One instance i was unable to pull off the road due to being on a hill and not driving very fast. The vehicle would not start right away. I was stuck in the middle of the road and a car almost hit me from behind. Very scary! I have the vehicle in the shop now with no luck so far as to the problem.

When accelerating on the highway the transmission seems to "lock" up, preventing the gears from shifting and causing the engine to over-rev. Since the gears don't shift, the vehicle is unable to accelerate. This is the second jeep patriot i have owned and the second one that has had this problem. The issue in the first would cause the transmission to over heat and eventually the vehicle would slow to a crawl. This happened several times while highway driving, with an infant. We were forced to pull over on the side of a busy highway to wait for it to cool down. This happened only 2 months after purchasing the 2013 jeep patriot and the dealer agreed to trade the vehicle back and i was stuck with the same make and model which now is exhibiting similar problems. I am concerned that they may reach a similar point and i now need my vehicle for highway travel on a regular basis. I obtained the 2012 jeep patriot in august of 2016 and did not notice any issues until february 2018 and now it happens on a daily basis on my commute to and from work.

This issue also effects the safety function which keeps the tank from catching on fire in the event of a rollover accident.

This vehicle is a manuel transmission 2012 jeep patriot 4x4 purchased in february 2017 from carmax with a little less than 37,000 miles on it. In late december 2017 / early january 2018 i began to hear/feel a 'whirring' sound when the transmission was engaged, the sound ceased when the clutch was depressed. I took in for repair with the clutch being replaced. The issue was not corrected, the clutch not being the issue. With a new clutch the problem was then determined as a internal transmission problem. A diagnostic was performed by local dealer fred frederick chrysler. The conclusion was a failure/issue occurring in the front transmission bearing area. I have driven this jeep less than 18,000 miles; it has less than 55,000 miles on it! Transmissions should not be failing at this point. This is a known issue with 2012 jeep patriot's. As of january 2018 there are 196 complaints with more than half, 104, dealing with engine or power train problems, on just the nhtsa website alone. Failures have occurred with as little as 20,000, 26,000, or 30,000 miles. Many also occurring in the mileage area of my vehicle (54,500) with failures at 47,000, 50,000. There have been no recalls or investigations into this problem. I filed a complaint with jeep / chrysler. I was told by my case manager, 'there is nothing we can do (or will do) to help you'. He went on to say; 'it's a business decision (by jeep / chrysler)' this issue needs to be addressed by jeep / chrysler, corrected, and jeep owners compensated.

I had a 1/4 tank of gas and went to the gas station to fill up. While pumping, the gas pump kept shutting off. I thought something was wrong with the gas pump so i went to another pump and the same thing continued to happened (i only got a few gallons). Later that day, i went to the gas station again and the same thing was happening, the pump shutting off. I was able to finally fill the tank after repeated shut offs, pumping and shuts off again. In 2014, i had the repair done (recall for the fuel tank transfer tube) however this is the first time i am experiencing this problem with my gas tank. I did some researching and it seems to be the gas tank vent system is not venting quick enough causing the gas is backing up. I will be calling my dealership to see what they can do about this. My real question is was the recall repair "faulty"?

The vehicle is stationary and motor turned off. It is next to impossible to fill the fuel tank with gasoline. It must be done extremely slowly or gasoline comes bursting out everywhere. The local dealer attributes it to a check valve which is inside the gas tank and when broken will not allow air into the tank when filling with gas. This is a design flaw with chrysler vehicles, and quite dangerous. It is also common for vehicles with this problem to stall when in motion, another very dangerous situation.

I have had my 2012 jeep patriot for over a year and just recently, in the last 5 months, the engine will randomly stall while i am driving or idling at a light/stop sign. There is no warning or indication as to why this happens. It has happened at various speeds ranging from 25 mph to 60 mph. It has happened on residential roads and on the freeway. Luckily, each time it has happened i have been able to get over to the shoulder pretty quickly. When it first started happening, i would turn it off and be able to start it right away. It has been happening more frequently lately. Sometimes it happens anywhere between 2 to 6 times a day. It's very random. Sometimes days go by before it happens and then sometimes it happens every single day. It never happens when i am turning. Only when i am driving. Never in reverse. When it stalls, the engine completely shuts off and my steering wheel locks up. The lights, radio, etc stay on. Once it stalls and i turn the jeep completely off, it is taking longer and longer for it to start back up again. Once it stalls, the check engine light comes on and stays on. Sometimes the light is off in the morning after i park my jeep overnight and sometimes the light is still on in the morning when i get up to drive my jeep.

(1) seat belts/air bags: have not had noticeable issues with these yet however are associated with a chrysler recall #s61. Is a safety risk because i commute to work daily on the free way and could get into a car accident which could be deadly if the air bags did not deploy or if the seatbelt did not work properly. (2) air bags, electrical system, seat belts: chrysler recall # n01; electrical system began having issues spontaneously after buying the vehicle and have persisted. Warning signals on dash will flicker on and off while driving which seems to be electrical-related. Jeep will also randomly alert while driving making a, "ding" noise when there is no cause for alarm. This software/electrical error could cause air bags to not deploy properly and can adversely affect the seatbelt pre-tensioners as well which could be deadly in a high-speed freeway accident. (3) fuel system, gasoline: chrysler recall # n17; jeep has lurched while in motion driving as if the engine was stalling or as if there was something wrong with the transmission. Jeep will lurch most often when accelerating and it seems as though the transmission is getting stuck or the engine is stalling because the rpm reading will shoot up then drop back down to almost nothing. (4) fuel system, gasoline, storage tank, assembly: chrysler is recalling certain model year 2012 jeep patriot's due to some vehicles being built with a fuel tank assembly containing a damaged roll-over valve.

I took the car back to the dealership and they have had it for an additional week with no diagnosis. They say they have not been able to get the car to replicate the issue. I am concerned to drive the car as this has happened to me on three occasions on busy streets and it is very dangers.

While driving, the engine stalls out. This happened once 2 weeks ago and the engine light came on. However, the light was off the following morning. Today, it happened twice, and the engine light is back on. I was driving less than 55mph both times on city streets and not turning. When the engine stalls, all power is lost to the steering and breaking system.

The car stalls frequently in the middle of the street. Dealer replaced crankshaft position sensor in june 2016 and insisted the problem is unrelated to the recall that already exists which causes stalling. Less than 1 year and approximately 12,000 miles later the car is stalling frequently again - every time the car is put in reverse and approximately 3-4 times more every 20 minutes.

We bought this car for my son in dec 2016. In the summer of 2017, he was driving down the freeway at about 70 mph. After driving for about an hour, maybe two hours on the freeway, his car literally shut down. It went from 70 mph to 20 mph immediately. This happened 4 times last summer. We took the car to lithia dodge of santa rosa, ca twice. They couldn't duplicate the problem. I had him come home (chester, ca) and took it to where we bought it at susanville auto center in susanville, ca. They couldn't duplicate the problem either. They did say that they had two other jeeps with the same transmission that the customers said they had the same issues. Again, they couldn't duplicate the problem. Just now, my son called (he is on his way up for easter) and he is stuck in woodland, ca alongside the freeway. It happened again. Susanville motors had us change the transmission fluid which we did (over $400) to hopefully fix the problem. It obviously didn't. It is only 75 degrees right now. The car doesn't show any sign of overheating, all fluids are good, but then all of a sudden, after driving freeway speeds, the overheating light will come on and the car will shut down. The temperature gage says everything is great. I have gone on the internet and found some chat areas where other people are having the same problem. When is jeep going to put in a recall on this issue? They have to know about it. Is it going to take my son getting into an accident and getting hurt, or even worse, killing himself? I am petrified about this. I turned in a case last summer (case # 32398610) and spoke with a wonderful lady by the name of kaylee. Please help. Jeep won't do anything.

On 3/21/2017 and on 3/22/2017 the vehicle stalled while in motion at different speeds 4 times. The battery was replaced due to this and the alternator was tested as to having no issue. It happens at various speeds from 25-70 mph and causes me to have to pull over to the side of the road when it stalls out which is very dangerous for anyone operating the vehicle and other vehicle operators that may be around me when this happens. Usually the car will start back up and run for another period of time before it happens again. Chrysler has had multiple complaints filed about this on multiple websites and with this agency however the recalls implemented for this problem have only pertained to certain models none of which were related to my model of the jeep patriot. Again this has happened on city streets and highways and have yet to have a dealer or mechanic be able to diagnose the problem. Thanks

My 2012 jeep patriot has wet carpets on the driver side front and rear. The headliner is also leaking every time i go though the car wash or it rains heavily. This is a extremely common jeep patriot problem and it needs to be recalled. These jeeps are leaking constantly. I am tired of my jeep having wet carpets and water leaking from the roof. This will happen if i am moving or just parked. Water constantly comes in. This has happened ever since i bought my car.

We took it to the dealer and they stated the obvious that the carpet and the upholstery needed to be replaced and the jeep need to be completely dried out thoroughly, but that they couldn't find the issue as to what could be causing the leak.

Jeep should either provide a safe rental vehicle or buy this back. The value of my vehicle has greatly decreased due to this recall.

I have had numerous problems with my 2012 jeep patriot. From the beginning my transmission would constantly over heat and i brought it into the dealer at about 30,000 miles and they said, "there is nothing wrong." the problem persisted and finally they issued me a new transmission at about 50,000 miles. A few months later, the engine just stopped continuously on the highway & street. Then they discovered that it was the crankshaft sensor that was bad, which they replaced. I had to pay $100 because of a deductible. The car seemed to be working okay until june 22nd, 2015 when i was on a road trip and all of a sudden the car completely died with a huge semi truck behind me. I was traveling at about 75 mph and the car just completely shut down, power steering, everything went off except for the lights and other items run by the battery. We immediately tried our best to signal and finally made it safely off the highway at speeds of under 15 mph. The car gave us no check lights and no indication as to what was wrong with the vehicle except for that it would not turn over when we tried to start it. We had to have the vehicle towed while on a road trip. We live in california and had to have the vehicle towed in idaho falls, idaho which was extremely inconvenient. We rented a car and left the 2012 jeep patriot at the dealer hoping they could fix it upon our return to that area. They were unable to give us any answers and said the car started fine. Obviously, you can see how this is an issue. I have no problem fixing the car but with no answers to what is wrong and having the constant worry of wondering if my life and my family's life is in danger, is not something i am willing to tolerate. It seems that many people are having the same issue as well. I will be forwarding this for them to make a complaint as well. I will also follow up hoping that this issue can be resolved.

Engine stalled at 45 miles/hour at three different occasions over a 3 day time frame. After approximately 5 minute the engine could be started up again. The dealership replaced a crankshaft sensor as a supposed fix. After driving the vehicle for 15 to 20 miles the engine would shut down again without warning. This time the engine started and stalled 6 consecutive times over a distance of less then one mile. The car was towed to the dealership. The problems described occurred while driving on state road and north medina line road, west of akron, ohio. The condition described is dangerous as the loss of engine operation renders car handling (stearing and braking) very difficult.

While i am driving if i or my passenger who is driving beside me in the front seat accidently hits the gear shifter while i am driving on the highway or any road and it has almost caused me to get rear ended several times because when accidently hit it gets knocked into 1rst,2nd and sometimes 3rd gear which causes the car to decrease immediately and because of this causes me to almost get into an accident this has happen several times the gear shifter is barely touched and it kicks into a downshift gear. This is a safety hazard and needs to be fixed so it doesn't move so easily. I was in pennsylvania on a busy 2 lane road that big flat bed and trucks go down and i was traveling at a about 65 mph and i had my teenage daughter in the car with who was sleeping and moved her leg in her sleep causing her to hit my gear shifter without my knowledge and my car just slowed down and when i looked quickly to see what was going on it was the gear shifter was accidently hit knocking the car into a lower gear. I had this truck hot on my bumper he had to tap on his breaks a little causing him to smoke some with his tires and i was able to find a small opening so i could hurry and pull over. This has happen several times.

2012 patriot has 48k miles on it. Been driving a std shift for most of my 46 years. The throw out bearing is very noisy. This has developed over a few months. I contacted the local dealer service moritz and they didn't know if it was covered under the 100k drive train warranty so i contacted jeep. They didn't know either and had to look it up. It is not covered. There is no way, under normal driving conditions, that a throw out bearing should go bad with such low milage. Jeep won't cover the repair. If one looks on the internet this is a very common problem with the patriot and not just with the 2012 model year. This should be a recall item. Jeep is hiding behind the 12k clutch warranty to make customers pay for a defect in craftsmanship. I've owned german and japanese cars that had over 130k miles that needed neither a clutch or a throw out bearing. The patriot shifts fine, the clutch does not slip. The only issue so far is the very noisy throw out bearing'.Clearly a manufacturing defect as it's so common.

I was driving at a speed of 50mph around a curve in the road and the engine stalled and the check engine light came on. I tried to put tin neutral and restart it, it did not turn over. I put it in park and after 3 tries it started. I immediately took it to the dealership and they told me it was a crankshaft position sensor. This happened once before on a saturday and when i took it in on monday they told me without a check engine light they could not know what was wrong.
