When travelling at high speeds, the engine repeatedly stalls, the engine light comes on the engine shuts down posing a major safety risk especially when on the highway at 65-70 mile hour speeds. There is a recall on similar models, but my vehicle's vin number is not showing. I am concerned that this vehicle has the same issue, but Chrysler is refusing to check it. The recall campaign number is N52 for a certain group of vehicles of the same model and the problem described is exactly what I am having with my vehicle. Essentially, my vehicle is posing a serious safety hazard and Chrysler is not willing to address it. I would appreciate any help with this matter. I have had two different mechanics look at it before I saw the recall and unable to detect the problem. Now that I have read the information on the recall, I want to have Chrysler review it for the recall. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

The vehicle stops while driving and no engine light is coming the wheel locks up while driving and the engine shuts off
One day I went to crank up my car and it would not even crank or turn over
While traveling at approximately 45 mph the engine light came on my jeep decreased on speed and it wouldn’t go any faster than 30 mph. The engine started shaking/jerking then the engine light flashed on and off very quickly. Was able to Pull to the side of the road car completely stalled out just as I put it in park. This incident also occurred 2 weeks after having the catalytic converter replaced due to emissions recall and it was jerking. I had to have emit towed
Engine stalled when I was driving
My jeep has revved up and lunged forward scream times over the past 4 months. I’ll have my foot on the brake and it’s trying to lunge forward. Today the engine light came on and it wouldn’t go any faster than 30mph and it was jerking. I had to have emit towed.
As my wife was heading to a doctor's appointment the electronic throttle body failed while she was on a busy highway during rush hour. The car had 51,524 miles on it. This is the second time that this part has failed. The first time was a little less than 40,000 miles. When this fails the vehicle loses power and becomes a rear-end collision hazard. I also own a 2016 Jeep Patriot and its throttle body failed at a little less than 40,000 miles.
My patriot keeps shutting down on and off while driving. It is really unsafe, I did some research and there are multiple complaints since 2014 from other people about the same problem. The steering wheel won't even move when this happened. I believe this is a manufacturing issue and I am reporting it. I had taken my car to the mechanic over and over again and they do not know why this is happening.
On 7/15, my sensor showed I needed a usual oil change. I have had no prior issues with my oil. I drove it to my brothers and there was a loud knocking sound, and my dad checked the dipstick showing zero oil in my engine. I took it down the street about 2 miles, and the engine was stalling the whole way. The engine completely failed. It wouldn’t take oil, it was completely failed. As of 11/2013, I did some research and my particular model of the vehicle has an open recall that apparently doesn’t affect my VIN, however, the recall 13v552000/N52 states that abrasive debri in the balance shaft bearing causes loss of engine oil pressure, causing the engine to stall and or fail. I’m at a loss, and it’s been open as of 11/2013.
I HAVE A 2014 2.4L JEEP PATRIOT. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THEN SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF POWER AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO GO OVER 20 MPH. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE WOULD IDLE VERY HEAVILY. WHEN I WENT TO PROCEED, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. MY FOOT WOULD BE PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. THEN AFTER ABOUT TWO MINUTES WITH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE'S RPMS WOULD JUMP TO 4-5 AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE IN A PARKED POSITION AND THEN PROCEEDED TO BE REVERSED, AS I WAS TURNING THE WHEEL TO BACK UP THE ENGINE STARTED SPUTTERING AND STALLED OUT. I HAD TO COMPLETELY TURN THE KEY OFF THEN BACK ON TO ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE TO REVERSE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO SO MANY SHOPS THAT CAN'T GIVE ME ANSWERS. THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT WITH THE NHS RECALL- 13V552000

I have a 2014 2.4L JEEP PATRIOT. I first noticed the problem when I was driving at 75 MPH between Mertzon Texas and Barnhart Texas, where there is no cell service unless you are on top of a hill. Then suddenly the check engine and the oil light came on and the vehicle began to lose speed no matter how much I pushed the gas peddle. The engine felt like it was running out of power and i was unable to accelerate, the engine began to stall and would not allow me to go over 15mph. The problem continued to get worse, while I pulled over and stopped, the engine would idle very heavily and sound rough. When I tried to proceed, the engine would stall, and my foot would be presing down on the gas pedalbut the car would not accelerate. Then after about a minute or the with the gas pedal down to the floor, the vehicle's rpms would jump and the it would go. But it continued the same pattern for about 15 miles, then it just died and would not start again for a few hours, but the issue was still the same, it would start but not move. Another issue is when the vehicle would be in park position and I would try to go in reverse, the engine would sound like it went into reverse, but it would not move, it would stall out and die. I have taken it to so many shops and they can not give an answer, they just say that the motor is blown. The problem is consistent with the NHS Recal-13V552000, so why does it still say that my vin in not affected when actually it is, but nothing is being done.

ANYTIME I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT JERKS AND SHUDDERS. SO I'LL BE IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY OR AT A LIGHT AND ONCE I START GOING THE JEEP WILL BE JUMPY AND NOT ACCELERATE. IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S ALMOST EVERY STOP AND I FEEL LIKE EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE WILL JUST STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A LIGHT. WHICH IS DEFINITELY IS A CONCERN BECAUSE I DRIVE WITH A 4 YEAR OLD MOST OF THE TIME. NO ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON SO THAT'S ALSO A CONCERN WHEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT'S NOT OKAY.
