2015 Jeep Patriot Complaint Log

HEADREST "SAFETY" FEATURE DEPLOYED WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. HEADREST WILL NOT GO BACK IN RESULTING IN THE AIR BAG LIGHT NOT BEING ABLE TO BE RESET. VEHICLE WAS NOT CRANKED OR MOVING WHEN HEADREST DEPLOYS.

SPUTTERING AND VIOLENT BUCKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. "LIGHTENING BOLT" STARTED BLINKING ON DASH BOARD. TURNED OUT I HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. MY CAR ONLY HAD 55,000 MILES AT THE TIME. VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND THIS STARTS.

SO I MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE BUT TODAY I HAVE AN ACTUAL ENGINE CODE THAT WAS PULLED UP AFTER BEING REAR-ENDED DUE TO THE STALLING. IT'S CODE P0335 AND IT'S THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WHICH IS ALREADY RECALLED FOR THE EXACT MAKE AND MODEL IN THE 2016 VERSION AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY FOR 2015 BECAUSE IF THERE ARE ANY COMPLAINTS OF STALLS IT'S BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED TO ME AND MY KID AND ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM AND CAR IS AT RISK

I HAVE ABOUT 48000 MILES ON MY CAR IN THE LAST WEEK IT'S BEEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE STALLS AND IT JUST SHUTS DOWN I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND IT'S SCARY AND NOT SAFE. IT HAS DONE IT AT MULTIPLE VARIATIONS OF MILES PER HOUR. NO WARNING, ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES ONCE I GIVE IT A COUPLE MINUTES IT GENERALLY CRANKS BACK UP AND EITHER STALLS OUT AGAIN.

IN JULY 2019 I WALKED OUT TO MY CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE HEAD REST HAD DEPLOYED. MY CAR WAS NOT MOVED OR IN ANY ACCIDENTS. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER JEEP PATRIOT CONSUMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE HEADREST DEPLOYING WITHOUT THERE BEING AN ACCIDENT OR ANY TYPE OF TRANS HAPPENING TO THE CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY FOR THOSE IN THE CAR AND POSSIBLE OTHERS IF IT IS DEPLOYED WHILE SOMEONE IS DRIVING AND AN ACCIDENT IS THEN TRULY CAUSED. I SEE THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE. THE COST OF HAVING THIS BEING REPLACED SHOULD NOT BE LEFT UP TO THE CONSUMER. JEEP IS A WELL KNOWN COMPANY AND SHOULD HAVE TO PAY. I PRAY NO SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR TO OTHERS FROM THIS ISSUE.

THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE TRUCK, NOW IT'S ALL THE TIME. TRY TO START IT, IT DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OVER . YOU CAN PLAY WITH THE STEERING WHEEL AND THEN IT STARTS. GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO CRANK OVER. STARTED MID JULY AND HAS CONTINUED

HIT A SMALL POT HOLE & MY PASSENGER SEAT HEAD REST POPPED OPEN & CAME APART. THERE IS NO WAY THAT I CAN SEE TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER; IT'S NOT EASILY CLOSED & I DONT WANT TO BREAK IT

THE FIRST TIME IT STALLED I WAS TURNING A CORNER ONTO A MAIN STREET AND IT STALLED. IT DID START RIGHT BACK UP AND RAN. THE NEXT DAY I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT STALLED. THE VERY NEXT RED LIGHT IT STALLED AGAIN. BOTH TIMES IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN.

DRIVING JEEP PATRIOT AND IT SPUTTERED SLOWING VEHICLE DOWN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY ... VERY DANGEROUS... THEN WENT INTO ' LIMP MODE' THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATED ... HAD TO REPLACE COMPLETE THROTTLE BODY WITH 80,000 MILES

WHEN TRAVELING ON THE THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 80MPH, THE TRANSMISSION OIL OVERHEAT ICON APPEARS AND I WILL BEGIN TO LOSE ACCELERATION.

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND SLIPS BETWEEN 55 AND 70MPH. FEELS LIKE CAR IS GOING TO STALL OUT, AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE CORRECTLY

I'VE HAD MY JEEP FOR ONE YEAR WHEN ONE DAY A RED LIGHTENING BOLT AND AN ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD. NO ACCELERATION OR POWER. I HAD TO KEEP CUTTING MY CAR ON AND OFF IN ORDER TO MAKE IT HOME. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP THE NEXT DAY WHERE I HAD TO PAY LOTS OF MONEY TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT. 2 YEARS LATER EVEN AFTER REPLACING MY ENGINE (DUE TO AN ACCIDENT) THE SAME LIGHT HAS APPEARED AGAIN. JEEP WE NEED ANSWERS? SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM.

MY JEEP HAS 44000 MILES ON IT, WHILE OUT OF TOWN CAMPING MY JEEP JUST STARTED SHUTTING OFF, AT ALL SPEEDS WITH NO WARNING. THIS IS VERY SCARY WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I MANAGED TO GET MY JEEP TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP, WHO TOLD ME MY THROTTLE CONTROL BOX FAILED !!!!! AT 44000 THOUSAND MILES!! $$$$1200.00 LATER AND 8 HOURS I WAS ON MY WAY AGAIN, BUT THE VERY NEXT DAY I STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUE SO FAR ITS HAPPEN TWICE AGAIN. THE PART I FIND STRANGE IS THAT THIS SAME THING HAPPEN TO THE LADY SITTING NEXT TO ME AT THE DEALERSHIP, SO SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO A NEWER JEEP WITH LOW MILLAGE, BOTH MYSELF AND THE OTHER LADY ARE GRANDMAS AND NOT OUT 4 WHEELING OR BEING RUFF ON OUR JEEPS. I NEED SOME ANSWERS AND WANT JEEP TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR!

AT ONLY 16,500 MILES 5 SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2015 WITH 6 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO NUMEROUS OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS AS WELL. THERE ARE AT LEAST 2 DOZEN OR SO ON 1 INTERNET FORUM THAT HAVE HAD SIMILAR FAILURES. THE FAILURE OF MINE HAPPENED CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION LUCKILY NO ONE CRASHED INTO THE CAR AS THE SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND THE CAR SIMPLY REVVED AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO ANY GEAR. THE DEALERSHIP MILTON RUBEN DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP AND FCA BOTH ARE CLAIMING CLUTCHES ARE NOT WARRANTY DUE TO BEING A CONSUMABLE WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. THE DEALER REPORTEDLY FOUND BROKEN PIECES OF CLUTCH ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICIANS NOTES. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND DISCERNING FAILURE AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. THERE IS ANOTHER REPORT OF ONE FAILURE AT ONLY 9600 MILES. THE DEALER ALSO CANNOT CONFIRM IF SAID PIECES FOUND ARE ACTUALLY CLUTCH OR TRANSMISSION PARTS. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH FCA REGARDING THE MATTER AND THEY ARE NOT MUCH ASSISTANCE. THIS MATTER OF GEARBOX, TRANSMISSION, CLUTCH FAILURES IN JEEP PATRIOTS WARRANT AN INVESTIGATION. I HOPE OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO YOU. DEALERS ARE CHARGING CONSUMERS $1400.00 TO $2000.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR A MANUFACTURED COMPONENT THAT IS PREMATURELY BREAKING PUTTING THEIR CONSUMERS AND OTHER MOTORIST LIVES AT RISK.

WHEN ARRIVING ON SATURDAY 6/1/2019 AT HOME WE PARKED OUR VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE AND WHEN WE SHUT THE DOOR WE HEAR A LOUD POPPING SOUND. NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS WE INSPECTED THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AND THEN IN THE INSIDE WE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADREST HAD COME APART. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD INDICATED THAT THE HEADREST HAD DEPLOYED DUE TO THE CLIPS INSIDE BREAKING AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY $535 TO GET IT REPAIRED. I THOUGHT THAT SAFETY EQUIPMENT OF THIS NATURE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED, AS IF A AIR BAG HAD FALSELY DEPLOYED THAT WOULD BE COVERED. I WOULD THINK THAT THIS WOULD BE A MAJOR INCIDENT AS WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED IF WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE OR WORSE YET WHAT IF ONE OF OUR KIDS WERE DRIVING AND WHAT HAPPENS IF THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYS AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I BELIEVE THAT THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT NO COST AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE AS MANY MORE INCIDENTS OF THIS NATURE HAVE BEEN REPORTED.

MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT HAS STALLED OUT 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP DEALER SAID WE NEED A CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SENSOR WHICH IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM FOR THE 2016 RECALL HAVE THERE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS IT APPEARS TO ME THIS IS THE SAME EZACT PROBLEM

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON. VEHICLE STARTS JERKING, SLOWING, AND DIES. CAUSING YOU TO LOSE STEERING AND ADEQUATE BRAKES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST STEERING ABILITY. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOUR OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO HENDRIX JEEP CHRYSLER FIAT (543 N MCPHERSON CHURCH RD, FAYETTEVILLE, NC 28303) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY, SPARK PLUGS, AND AIR FILTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED TWICE AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AFTER THE LAST FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET DOING ABOUT 25 MPH AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY ENGINE SHUT OFF. MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR AND MY BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. LUCKILY I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART MY CAR.

I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND MANY OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ON A 40 MPH ROAD THAT PEOPLE ARE KNOWN TO FLY DOWN AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL MY CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE BUT COMPLETELY LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DANGEROUS ROAD AS 3 LIGHTS SIMULTANEOUSLY APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD; THE LIGHTS WERE THE THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH AND ACTED QUICKLY BUT THIS IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE. WILL JEEP SIMPLY WAIT UNTIL THIS CAUSES THE DEATH OR SERIOUS ACCIDENT OF MOTORISTS? I BELIEVED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DIRTY SO I CLEANED IT OUT FOLLOWING STANDARD PROCEDURE, HOWEVER THE THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT STILL APPEARS AND MY VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE. I WILL BE TAKING IT INTO THE SHOP VERY SOON BUT THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE VEHICLE OWNER, THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND UNCALLED FOR WHEN THE VEHICLES SUFFERING HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES.

MY JEEP STARTS STALLING AND SHUTS DOWN WITH NO WARNING. IT IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. WE HAVE SPENT OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS FIXING THIS ISSUE.AS WE ARE DRIVING THE CAR STALLS THEN COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN, NO WARNING CAUSES PEOPLE TO SLAM ON BREAKS OR SWERVE TO NOT HIT INTO. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS

TAKATA RECALL ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON CAUSE THE CAR TO LOSE SPEED AND EVENTUALLY STALL AS THE WEATHER CHANGES. WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION ONCE REACHING ABOVE 40 MILES PER HOUR.

THROTTLE BODY MUST BE REPLACED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, WATER LEAKED INTO THE CABIN. UPON INSPECTING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WATER ENTERED ALONG THE REAR HATCH OF THE VEHICLE. THE LEAK CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE HEADLINER, CARPET, AND REAR SEATS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT MOLD AND THE ODOR OF MOLD WERE PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WATSON LUDINGTON CHRYSLER (LOCATED AT 3632 WEST US HIGHWAY 10, LUDINGTON, MI 49431, (231) 845-3900) TO BE INSPECTED. THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO USE AUTOMOTIVE CAULK TO SEAL THE AREA FROM WHICH THE WATER LEAKED. AFTER A NIGHT OF TORRENTIAL RAINS, THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF FURTHER LEAKS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,279. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE VEHICLE STILL SMELLED OF MOLD. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED HAVING ASSISTANCE HAVING THE BACK SEATS AND HEADLINER REPLACED. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY FAIL TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE CONVERTER WAS FAULTY. THE THROTTLE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE OCCURRED IN MARCH WHERE I ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE, IT WOULDN'T START, AND ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WERE LIT UP... INCLUDING A RED LIGHTNING BOLT IN WHICH I NEVER HAVE SEEN BEFORE! THE VEHICLE DID START FOR A MOMENT, THEN LOCKED UP AND COASTED FORWARD WHERE I PUT ON THE BRAKES TO STOP VEHICLE DUE TO OBVIOUS/ PROBLEM. PROBLEM OCCURED MORE THAN CONSUMER COULD COUNT. RADIO WOULDN'T WORK PROPERLY. 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON FOR A DAY OR SO THEN TURNS OFF. ERROR CODE: P0335 CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT.

WHILE LEAVING A PARKING LOT ON OR ABOUT APRIL 15 2019, THE VEHICLE KEPT KILLING WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE PCM HAD SHORTED OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE NEW PCM WAS INSTALLED ON APRIL 20, 2019. THE SAME PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN ON APRIL 24, 2019. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TRACED THE WIRES IN THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A WEEK AND CONTACTED ME ON MAY 1, 2019 STATING THAT THEY HAD DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION COIL WHICH WAS CORRECTED. WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIIMATELY 5:00 P.M.ON MAY 1ST, DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME ABOUT 10 MILES, TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE 1 HOUR LATER AND THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. WE WILL NOW HAVE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHY HAVEN'T THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOTS BEEN RECALLED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION CHRYSLER JEEP WEST (LOCATED AT 16300 W COLFAX AVE, GOLDEN, CO 80401, (303) 578-6104), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,767.

I OWN A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT WITH 34,000 MILES ON THE JEEP. OVER THE PAST WEEK MY JEEP HAS FAILED ME. IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES. IN ADDITION WHILE DRIVING, THE JEEP WAS JERKING , HESITATING AND THE RPM'S DROPPING TO ZERO WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. A TOTAL LOSS OF POWERSTEERING AND BRAKES OCCURED AS WELL. THE THIRD TIME RESULTED IN ME ALMOST GETTING HIT AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD. AFTER GETTING MY JEEP TOWED TO THE LOCAL LEE JEEP ( FORT WALTON BEACH FL) THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT LOCATE AN ISSUE WITH THE JEEP. THE JEEP HAS STALLED OUT ON THEM, BUT CANNOT GET A CODE. SO NOW I AM WITH OUT A CAR, HAVING TO PAY FOR A RENTAL OUT OF MY POCKET AND I AM A SINGLE TEACHER. THIS IS POOR SERIVE AND AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT IS AN ISSUE FOR MULTIPLE JEEP PATROITS OF VARIOUS MAKES AND MODELS AND JEEP IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND HAS RECALLED OTHER YEARS, BUT NOT THE 2015 WHICH IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE THE CRANKSHAFT/ CAMSHAFT SENOR WIRE HARNESS ( SAFTEY RECALL S89 FOR THE 2016 MODEL) ALSO THE SAME ISSUE WITH LATER MODELS AS WELL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY JEEP FOR 3 DAYS NOW AND NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT. MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME SHOES AS I AM NOW. WITH A JEEP THAT HAS ONLY 34,000 MILES, SUCH FAILURES SHOULD NOT OCCUR AND SUCH EXPENSES SHOULD BE PASSED ONTO THE OWNER FOR SUCH A WIDESPREAD AND KNOWN ISSUE.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE IS A PROBLEM IDENTIFIED UNDER A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLES MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT MY VIN.

ON MARCH 8, 2019, WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A RURAL ROAD, THE ENGINE STALLED CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND THE RPMS TO DROP TO 0. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. ON THIS OCCASION I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE BATTERY FAILED DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AND REPLACED THE BATTERY. ON MARCH 22, 2019 WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN CAUSING THE RPMS TO DROP TO 0. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT/CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WAS MALFUNCTIONING. AFTER SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH I LOCATED SAFETY RECALL S89 / NHTSA 16-V-907 CRANKSHAFT CAMSHAFT SENSOR WIRE HARNESS ISSUED IN FEBRUARY 2017 AFFECTING 2016 DODGE JOURNEY, 2016 JEEP COMPASS AND 2016 JEEP PATRIOT.

WHEN I FILL MY TANK UP WITH GAS, MY CAR WILL START BUCKING, OFTEN RESULTING IN A STALL SHORTLY AFTER. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S COMPLETELY FULL OR IF I ONLY PUT TEN DOLLARS IN THE TANK. IT IS USUALLY WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN OR WHEN I SLOW AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE BUT NEVER WHEN I'M ALREADY SLOWED DOWN, IT'S USUALLY WHEN I AM GOING THE SPEED LIMIT IT CAN BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 30-60MPH. IT HAS BROKEN DOWN TWICE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHERE I LIVE CALLED US 19 AND I LEGITIMATELY FELT LIKE I COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE IN BOTH SITUATIONS HAD OTHER DRIVERS NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION, SO MANY CARS CAME CLOSE TO HITTING ME I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW. IT ALSO STALLED SEVERAL TIMES ON SIDE ROADS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ONCE OR TWICE ON ROADS WITH NOT MUCH TRAFFIC. I BELIEVED MAYBE IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY BUT IT'S NOT THROWING ANY CODES. SINCE IT IS USUALLY WHEN I PUT GAS IN, I'M NOW THINKING IT MAYBE BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL INJECTOR, SOME SORT OF SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP GETTING LOOKED AT BUT THEY ARE HAVING A HARD TIME RECREATING THE ISSUE, IT REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE. I DON'T HAVE KIDS OR A HUSBAND BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE FORUMS I VISIT DO AND THEY ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS OF JEEPS SINCE 2014.

TAKATA RECALL OUR RADIO STOP WORKING, THEN THE HORN,THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON. THE NEXT THING TO GO OUT WAS THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE, JEEP PAID FOR THAT BUT WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH WASN'T CHEAP 573.00. AND STILL DID NOT FIX RADIO, HORN, OR AIRBAG LIGHT. I WAS AT A INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

TAKATA RECALL: COMPUTER ERRORS, POWER CONNECTION ERRORS, POWER STEERING ERRORS, TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT X1, POWER FUSE BOX X1, STEERING/SUSPENSION/STEERING WHEEL ERRORS. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENED WITHIN THE YEAR OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE DEALERSHIPS ARE NO HELP AND I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR I CAN NOT DRIVE THE REPAIRS ARE WAY TO HIGH THESES PROBLEMS HAVE NO EXPLANATION THEY JUST KEEP POPPING UP WITH OUT WARNING.

PURCHASED THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOT 02/2018 FROM CARMAX IN COLUMBIA, SC. MILEAGE WAS JUST OVER 27,000 MILES. IT CAME WITH A 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. 3/2/2019 - A T355 TRANSAXLE 2 WD, 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, AND CLUTCH. 4/15/2020 - PATRIOT WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP, CARTHAGE, TN. CLUTCH WENT OUT, REPLACED THE SLAVE CYLINDER, MASTER CLUTCH CYLINDER. 6/26/2020 - TOOK THE PATRIOT TO THE SHOP, CARTHAGE, TN. TRANSAXLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IN 2019, THE POWERTRAIN WAS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, WE SPOKE TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THEY REFUSED TO DO THE WORK. WHEN WE CONTACTED JEEP 06/2020 WHEN THE JEEP TRANSMISSION WAS DEEMED NEEDED REPLACING AGAIN, JOSH, IN MANAGEMENT, INFORMED US THAT JEEP WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AS THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED IN FEBRUARY OF 2020. RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT FROM 2007 TO 2016, THE 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE. WE CURRENTLY STILL OWE 8000.00 DOLLARS ON THE VEHICLE. WE ARE NOT WILLING TO PUT ANY MONEY INTO ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. BY THE TIME WE DID, WE WOULD HAVE OVER 5000.00 DOLLARS IN A WORTHLESS PIECE OF GARBAGE THAT IS NOT RELIABLE. OTHER ISSUES: TOTAL RIGHT FRONT REBUILD WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. OVERALL, THE VEHICLE IS A LEMON, AND WE NEED AN INVESTIGATION OPENED, AS JEEP HAS REFUSED TO ASSIST IN ANYWAY OR TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.

WITHOUT CAUSE THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT HEAD REST DEPLOYED. THERE ARE PIECES OF PLASTIC INSIDE THAT PREVENT IT FROM BEING RESET. RESEARCH DETERMINED SEVERAL LIKE COMPLAINTS AND FAILURE OF CHRYSLER JEEP TO RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE SAFETY DEVICES OR REPAIR THEM. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AT THE TIME OF DEPLOYMENT.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE GOING CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT ME TURNING THEM ON. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING, SITTING AT A LIGHT, SITTING AT A STOP SIGN OR PARKED WITH MY ENGINE ON.

OVER THE PAST MONTH THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS COME ON WHEN I GO TO ACCELERATE. JUST LIKE OTHERS HAVE REPORTED, IT COMES ON WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY & JUST DIES, YOU CAN'T STEER THE CAR OR ANYTHING. OR YOU GO TO ACCELERATE AND IT DIES & YOU ALMOST GET REAR-ENDED. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MANY REPORTS ARE ON HERE SIMILAR TO MINE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS ONE FOR THE 2016 PATRIOT. WHAT WILL IT TAKE, SOMEONE DYING? THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR CAR WILL JUST DIE WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH & YOU CAN'T STEER OR ANYTHING!

I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY (ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR) AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR 'S LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON (ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY, LIGHTENING BOLT) THE POWER SEEMED TO BE DRAINING FROM MY VEHICLE, I COULD NOT LONGER ACCELERATE. I ALMOST GOT HIT IN THE BACK, LUCKILY THERE WAS AN EXIT THAT WAS CLOSE SO THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO TAKE A FORCED EXIT TO AVOID FROM HITTING ME. UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENED, I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. I WAITED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND HESITANTLY DECIDED TO TRY TO RESTART THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT, ONLY TO GO ABOUT 2 MILES AND IT HAPPEN AGAIN. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND TOOK BACK STREETS ALL THE WAY HOME TO KEEP ME FROM GETTING INTO A WRECK. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ABOUT 4 TIMES UNTIL I MADE IT HOME AND PARK IT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A HEADACHE EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. ONE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT, THE GAS TANK SUNK AND PRETTY MUCH FELL INTO THE CAR SO DEEP THAT I COULD NO LONGER GET THE PUMP TO THE TANK TO FILL GAS. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THAT, THE WHEELS STARTED SQUEALING, AND THIS WAS UNABLE TO BE FIXED. THE BOLTS THAT ARE USED UNDER THE HOOD DO NOT FIT THE CAR SO THINGS WOULD CONSTANTLY LOOSEN AS I DROVE IT AND EVENTUALLY ARE REPOSITIONED EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE REPLACED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIPS. THERE'S SUBSTANCE MUCH LIKE ADHESIVE GLUE THROUGHOUT THE CAR ON CERTAIN PARTS WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IF THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW. ALL AROUND POORLY MADE CAR, YOU WILL END UP PAYING THE DOUBLE THE AMOUNT VALUED BASED ON THE REPAIRS. HORRIBLE. HOLD THIS MAKER ACCOUNTABLE, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. LIVES ARE AT DANGER.

JEEP PATRIOT CONVERTER RECALL MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON ME AND WAS UNABLE TO BE PUT INTO EITHER A DRIVE OR REVERSE OPTION. THE JEEP SHUT DOWN AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE CADILLAC CONVERTER. THE TRANSMISSION ON THE JEEP BECAME PHYSICALLY TORN INTO PIECES WHILE IT WAS OVERWORKED DUE TO THE CONVERTER ISSUE, AND MY EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS OVERWORKED. ACCELERATION BECAME AN ISSUE AS WELL. HAD TO HAVE THE JEEP TOWED, AND REPAIRED WITH HIGH COSTS DUE TO THE SERIOUS PROBLEM OF IT NOT BEING DRIVEABLE. I HAD THE CONVERTER REPLACED, THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, AND OTHER SMALL REPAIRS IN ORDER TO FIX IT AND SAVE IT. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE AS OF YET, AND AM HOPING TO AVOID ANY IN THE FUTURE. I JUST BECAME AWARE OF THE NATIONAL RECALL FOR JEEP PATRIOTS AND THEIR CONVERTER MALFUNCTIONS. PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW I CAN GO ABOUT SENDING MY RECEIPTS FOR THESE REPAIRS TO BE REIMBURSED.

VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING, STALLED ON BUSY ROADS, ON HILLS, TURNING CORNERS, ECT. STALLING OCCURRED AT INFREQUENT INTERVALS. SOMETIMES 3 TIMES A DAY, THEN WOULDN'T HAPPEN FOR A FEW WEEKS. SOMETIMES THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON AFTER THE STALLING. SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD START RIGHT BACK UP WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE KEY, BUT THEN DIE AGAIN AFTER TRAVELING 50-100 FEET. MECHANICS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSIS PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND NO ERROR REPORT WAS GENERATED . FINALLY, AFTER 2 MONTHS OF TROUBLE, THE CAR FINALLY SHOWED AN ENGINE ERROR CODE AFTER STALLING. CODE WAS FOR THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. HAD IT REPAIRED FOR $162.40. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN YOUR CAR DIES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THERE IS NO AREA TO SAFELY COAST TO OUT OF THE WAY OF DANGER. ALWAYS FEARFUL OF GETTING REAR-ENDED. MECHANICS CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE IS UNTIL THERE IS AN ENGINE LIGHT ON. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT IT, BUT JEEP HASN'T WARNED CUSTOMERS OF THE PROBLEM.

WHILE I AM DRIVING, THE CAR STOPS RUNNING., THE ENGINE CUTS OFF. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK OR NEUTRAL TO RESTART THE ENGINE. SOMETIMES IT WILL START UP SOMETIMES I HAVE TO WAIT ON IT TO STARTS. TODAY IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND IT DID NOT START BACK UP..THE CAR HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT THE STREET. MY JEEP WILL STOP ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHILE DRIVING UP TO SPEED, IT WILL STOP ON RURAL STREETS AND WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT IT WILL SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN..THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT ONLY SHUTS DOWN WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3 MONTHS.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE OF NEW 015 JEEP PATRIOT, WATER STARTED TO PENETRATE INSIDE OF CAR. OMING THROUGH FRONT INTERIOR LAMP. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, FOUND OUT CLOG IN DRAIN OF SUNROOF. 'FIXED' THEN APPX 6 MONTHS LATER, SAE LEAK STARTED. TRIED A DIFFRENT DEALERSHIP TRYING TO ACTUALLY GET IT FIXED FOR GOOD, THEY SAID IT WAS 'FIXED' BUT PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS CONTINUED FOR THREE YEAS. BROUGHT TO 3-4 DEALERSHIPS PLUS HAD 2 PRIVATE TECHS LOOKED AT IT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP ANDTHEY 'ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER' TO OVERSEE REPAIR BUT DEALER STATED THAT CLOG WAS FOUND AGAIN, GAVE CAR BACK AS 'FIXED' BUT AT DELIVERY, WATER WAS STILL LEAKING OUT OF INTERIOR LAMP. DEALER SAID 'ONLY RESIDUAL AND NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT' I ASKED SEVERAL TIMES AND SUGGESTED THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SUCH TROUBLE FOR TH PAST THREE YEARS. WATER FLOWS ALL DOWN THE DASH AND ELECTRIAL COMPONENTS. IF YOU GOOGLE, YOU WILL SEE HUNDREDS OF PATRIOT OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ONLY 'FIX' THAT DEALERSHIP/'WATER SPECIALISTS ' HAVE EVER PERFORMED IS 'CLEARING CLOG DRAIN OF SUNROOF. I AM NOT SURE WHY IT KEEPS CLOGGING. THE LAST DEALER STATED THAT IT IS GENERAL MAINTENANCE. I HVE OWNED MANY CARS WTH SUNROOFS ND HAVE NEVER HAD TO CLEAR DRAIN AS GENERAL MAINTENTANCE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS IF VEHICLE IS STATIOERY OR IN MOTION. IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJORY HIGHWAY CAUSING GREAT DISTRACTION.

THIS VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS. THE VEHICLE STALLED IN MULTIPLE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS INCLUDING SLOW DRIVING AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ON LEVEL OR INCLINES/DECLINES. THE VEHICLE WOULD BE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THEN COMPLETELY STALL AND SHUT OFF WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL FOR THE YEAR 2016 (SAFETY RECALL S89 / NHTSA 16V-907 CRANKSHAFT CAMSHAFT SENSOR WIRE HARNESS). THIS IS THE EXACT ISSUE THAT IS WRONG WITH OUR VEHICLE, BUT IT IS A 2015 MODEL YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE ON OUR FIRST REPAIR VISIT AND SO WE WERE PUT AT SAFETY RISK AGAIN WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED UNTIL BRINGING IT IN A SECOND TIME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

MY CAR IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES I CAN NOT EVEN DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE - IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER ONE YEAR AND I AM PAYING FOR A CAR I CANT DRIVE I HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and diagnosed with a faulty catalytic convertor. The contact was informed that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000.

AS OF 12/18/2018, MY CAR HAS BEGUN TO DIE AS I PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR AFTER BEING AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, IT EVEN DIED OUT OF NO WHERE, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING BACK HOME AND THANKFULLY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS BEHIND HIM AS HE WAS PASSING THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR JERKED AND DECIDED TO TURN OF COMPLETELY. HE PUT IT ON PARK AND STARTED UP LIKE NORMAL BUT NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON OR ANYTHING. EVER SINCE I GOT THIS CAR IN FEBRUARY OF 2016, TAKE NOTE THAT MY JEEP ONLY HAS 65000 MILES AND I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL NOW. IT IS TERRIFYING BECAUSE EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, CARS BEHIND ME WERE VERY CLOSE TO REAR ENDING MY CAR. THIS IS A BIG AND SCARY ISSUE FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE READ ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES THAT THEIR JEEP PATRIOTS HAVE DIED ON THE HIGHWAY... I HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD THAT I TAKE BACK AND FORTH TO A BABY SITTER EVERY WEEKDAY, AND THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY DAUGHTER AND FOR PEOPLE DRIVING AROUND ME AS WELL. I HAVE READ ON A NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF WEBSITES WHERE OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I KEEP MY OIL CHANGES UP TO DATE AND I JUST CHANGED MY SPARK PLUGS. SO I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO HAVE IT CHECKED BECAUSE OF WHAT I HAVE READ I SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE NOT HAD LUCK WITH TAKEN IT TO A SHOP I WOULD HATE FOR THIS ISSUE TO CAUSE SOMEBODY TO REAR END ME ON THE STREETS OR ON THE HIGHWAY. EITHER BEING ON THE STREETS OR THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE AND INJURY TO ME, MY 3 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER AND TO THE PEOPLE AROUND ME.HOPEFULLY THEY HAVE A RECALL SOON!

PICKED IT UP ON 12/5/18 FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER HAVING THE CV AXLE REPLACED AND ALL OF A SUDDEN OR ACCORDING TO THEM "COINCIDENCE" MY THROTTLE BODY CONTROL HAS DIED. IT WAS FINE UNTIL THEY WORKED ON IT AND I WAS ON THE WAY TO TAKE MY CAR HOME AND NOTICED THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT FLASHING OFF AND ON AND THE JERKING AND STALLING HAPPENING, WHICH DID NOT DO BEFORE THEY WORKED ON IT. NOW, I CAN'T GET THEM TO FIX IT WITHOUT THEM WANTING ME TO PAY FOR IT EVEN THOUGH, I WASN'T HAVING THIS ISSUE AT ALL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE TO HAVE CONSIDERING I DRIVE DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY EVERYDAY TO WORK AND ALSO TAKE MY CHILD TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. THIS WILL RESULT IN SOMEONE GETTING KILLED AND THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIPS NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

I AM SEEING MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. MY 2015 JEEP PATRIOT USED TO KICK BACK WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING WHICH DEVELOPED INTO A STALL AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY GAVE ME NEW SPARK PLUGS AND CLEANED MY AIR INTAKE VALVES IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THE CAR GIVES NO WARNING OR CODE TO DESCRIBE WHAT IS HAPPENING. FOR ABOUT A WEEK THERE WERE NO ISSUES AND THEN IT STALLED ON ME TWICE TODAY AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND ACCELERATED ONCE IT TURNED GREEN BUT IT STALLED BEFORE I COULD MAKE IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I COULD BARELY STEER OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES, HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF. THEN I HAVE TO SIT THERE FOR A COUPLE MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE CAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR ESPECIALLY DURING RUSH HOUR.

VEHICLE FAILS TO START MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THE BATTERY AND STARTER ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. COMMON FIXES THAT ARE RECOMMENDED ARE REPLACING THE WCM OR THE RELAY BOX. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL START AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES AND LEAVING THE KEY CRANKED FOR 20 SECONDS+, BUT THIS ISN'T ALWAYS RELIABLE. BROUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP AND THEY COULDNT RECREATE THE ISSUE, SO IT WAS NEVER RESOLVED FOR MY CASE.
