While driving or in a parked position while the engine runs, the rpm needle drops to zero 0 and my car doesn't accelerate when pressing the gas pedal. there are times i am on the highway and rpm drops to zero 0 and i have to pull over on the shoulders. i would have to put the car in park, and shut my car off for extra minutes or more before i can fully restart it. if i try turning the car on before the 2 minutes it would take a longer time to restart. this is very dangerous because the car shut off when i'm at the stop light, in the middle of the highway. when making a turn, and the rpm needle drops to zero 0, my steering wheel becomes so stiff/harden and is very very difficult to complete the turn.
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. if my car were to die on the freeway that would be a very dangerous situation. car defect that caused this is unknown. .
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. it is a jeep patriot sport (2.4 l) automatic with only 17,500 actual miles.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled while depressing the accelerator pedal without warning. the contact pulled over and the vehicle resumed normal operation once it was restarted. the contact's friend used a code detector that determined that the throttle was defective. the manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. the contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 13v120000 (fuel system, gasoline). the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

On my way to work, my car stalled 3 times while at a stop light and once while moving. after the moving stall, my engine light came on. the error code is p0339. it also stalled twice on my way home from work. it didn't stall while i was moving on the second trip because my foot happened to be on the gas when it tried to stall. i felt the car jerk backwards then re-engage the engine back to where it was before it almost stalled. the car had done a little jerk every once in a while, but now it's multiple times in a single trip.
Engine stalls while driving. the traction control lights appears when engine stalls. it may restart after about 15 minutes. this reoccurs randomly. after it starts back up the check engine light appears.
The vehicle shuts off while driving. the battery is fine however i lose all power. it is as if there is no fuel even though i have a ful tank. the traction light comes on along with the check engine light. i roll to a stop and let the jeep sit then turn the key and it starts right up. there is no warning or indication when it will ovcur. the check engine light will disappear after driving for a time and so i am told there is no code to be pulled. im stuck driving a machine that may or may not try to end me. tons of people have had a similar issue however my vin does not seem to be included in the recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. the contact stated that the vehicle lost power and stalled while driving. an unknown warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was pushed to the contact's home. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that they would call the contact back. the failure mileage was 77,000. the vin was unknown.

When the vehicle slowed down and waited at intersection or middle lane, the engine shuts off by itself. when it is restarted, the power is back either immediately or after a few minutes. i read online and many many customers reported this problem, ranging from very new jeep patriot (less than 10,000 miles) to driving at high speed. the links are shown below: http://www.carproblemzoo.com/jeep/patriot/automatic-transmission-control-module-problems.php https://www.jeeppatriot.com/forum/5-jeep-patriot-general-discussion/92388-help-engine-shut-down.html when i took it to the dealer, they can not figure out the causes. the last time, they said it is the transmission control module issue. since so many customers reported this issue, this vehicle needs a recall. the unexpected shutoff is very dangerous.
The engine is randomly stalling. it stalled the other day at the highway and keeps randomly doing it without any warning. i have to pull over every time and wait a couple of minutes to turn it on. it seems by reading this has been reported for the same model multiple times.
Car stalls out going down the road. car most recently starts and dies right after. we are getting fuel.
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.
It always happens while on the freeway. after a chokehold hours of driving, gas tank is fine, my cause shuts off, unable to accel and no function to increase speed. i have to then pull to the side and wait for it to "cool down." this has happened 3 times. last time it happened i had only been driving for 1 hr and the transmission temp. warning light came on.
Intake manifold system: the intake manifold is causing the vehicle to stall and turn off while driving. difficultly starting the vehicle and poor gas mileage.
Ac actuator blend doors not working properly. this is a common problem with 2012 jeep patriots. does not work if the car is in motion or if it's stationary.
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.
After pumping gas, less than a mile into my trip home, my jeep's started stalling, the power steering went off (i couldn't easily turn the steering wheel) and it died in the middle of the road. i turned the key in the ignition to the off position, then back on and i was able to started it. i only moved about 500 feet and then it happened again. i turned it off, back on again and the same thing happened a third time, as i was getting home. i sat on my parking spot and the jeep was stalling but it didn't die again. i looked up jeep forums and it seem to be a common problem and people resolve it by not filling the tank all the way. needless to say it was a very scary experience and it could've easily caused an accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. while driving 40 mph, the engine stalled without warning. a local dealer (tunkhannock auto mart located at 509 joseph hunter highway tunkhannock, pa 18857 877-816-4325) was called, but failed to respond. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 71,044.
I was pulling out of a parking lot onto a busy street. i put my foot on the accelerator to gain speed and there was no response. i could not accelerate. the check engine light came on. i was able to turn the car off and back on and was then able to accelerate. i had the car towed to the dealership. the dealership had the car for a week and said the car was fixed without giving much of an explanation. i had the car back for 2 day and it happened to me again twice. 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
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was able to restart. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the crank shaft sensor connector needed to be repaired. the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 61,000. the vin was not provided.
My wife was traveling over thanksgiving on her way home on the interstate 70 mph and the jeep just shuts off, lots of traffic loses all power, so she pulled over and called me, i had her to turn the switch to the off position and back to run a couple of time and it started, she drove the rest of the way home approx. 100 miles with the engine light on. *tr
Total tipm failure, with engine, brakes, steering, airbags failing all at once, with no warning, in traffic. 87 yr. old with near fatal breakdown. contacted jeep, sent in documentation, told 6 mths. for reimbursement, then refused because vin did not match recall list. part was backordered because of mass failure.
Stalls at low speed (40 mph or less) and at idle, most often with some engine load -- like ac is on or turning the steering wheel. it stalls more often in the afternoon than in the morning.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. the contact stated that the temperature warning indicator kept randomly illuminating and the engine overheated. the failure caused the contact to have to wait a brief moment and place the vehicle in neutral in order for it to cool down to be able to drive the vehicle. the dealer (bill dodge, 118 pleasant st, brunswick, me 04011, (207) 721-8300) from where the vehicle was purchased provided no owner's manual and replaced the cvt transmission; however, the warning indicator kept flashing. the dealer stated that the part needed to be replaced again. in addition, the dealer refused to provide an owner's manual; therefore, the contact had to research a solution and obtain information on his own. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure, opened a case, and then closed the case with no solution other than replacing the same part. the vehicle was unsafe to drive because the temperature warning indicator could illuminate at any time. in addition, the vehicle failed to shift properly and was slow to pick up speed. the approximate failure mileage was 97,000.
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.
During driving car got stalled suddenly and engine stopped and locked and prevented to move off from road with evap check engine light. my family in the car and someone behind about to hit at the back and its a major issue if engine lock down while driving
During the summer or any hot day, and especially during speeds over 65 miles per hour my jeep engine will stall.. meaning it will reduce speed and then stop... this has happened every summer for years, and is now happening again during driving in traffic, and has effectively left me stranded at times on the road... i have had to have the vehicle towed to the dealership. i will show you the warning indicator light it presents with. i am dating the problem as 06/18/16 even though there have been multiple occurrences.
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. engine stall at the third time stated above happened at a sharp right curve with on-comming trafic. a collission was narrowly avoided.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle shut down. after an hour, the vehicle restarted on its own. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the local dealer for diagnostic testing. the local dealer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 126,000.
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.
On october 28, 2015 with about 50,000 miles on it, my jeep went into limp mode while i was driving 55 mph. luckily i was able to pull over to the shoulder before getting rear-ended. multiple lights turned on including the electronic throttle control, check engine, and traction control. i unhooked the battery and waited a few minutes. hooked it back up and it seemed to be fine. until march 13, 2016 when i was driving my daughter to the mall for her birthday. i was driving on a busy 4 lane road when my car seemed to turn off or loose all power while climbing a hill. again, i just avoided being rear ended and pulled over to the side. i turned the key off, took it out, waited a few minutes and started it again and it worked. we went shopping and went back home without a problem, until the next day. march 14, 2016 while driving my daughters to school my jeep went into limp mode. luckily i was in the village and only going 30 mph, but all of the lights came on again-electronic throttle control, traction control, and check engine. i drove it back home and had it towed to the dealership. the dealership said that they did not know what was wrong with it. that after resetting the battery and performing a diagnostic check, only a vac leak was detected. they performed a check and confirmed (according to my invoice) that there were "no vacuum leaks at this time per code" and that "could be many things." and they "cleared codes and road tested ok at this time." so i drove it home from the dealership and to work today with no problems. when i went to go home, all the lights came on again. i do not feel safe and i feel stuck. no one seems to want to fix it because they do not know what to fix... and this is pathetic when even the dealership that i bought it from can not help. i am afraid someone will be killed if a solution is not found to this common problem with jeep patriots.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. while driving 25 mph, the vehicle started to lose power and failed to accelerate. the electric throttle control warning light illuminated right before the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was not repaired or diagnosed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 22,000. the vin was not available.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. while driving 70 mph, the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel and the engine stalled. the contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road, turned off, and restarted the vehicle after a few minutes. the failure recurred several times. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission fluid needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the contact also stated that the dealer was not supposed to replace the transmission fluid. the failure recurred several other times. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 60,000. the vin was not included.
I was driving my 2012 jeep patriot on the highway when simultaneously, the electronic throttle control light started blinking red, my car started to jerk forward, and lost power. this reoccurred several times on the way to get it looked at. each time it happened, i had to shut the vehicle off, wait a few minutes, and then restart. i took it to a jeep dealer and without even looking at it, the guy said it would be about $600 to fix (even though i still have power train warranty). this to me looks like this is a reoccurring problem that jeep is aware of, but is not doing anything about. luckily each time this happened, i was able to pull over and avoid an accident, others might not be so lucky. until this problem is resolved, my jeep is not safe to drive.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. while driving at various speeds, the contact heard a sound from the front of the vehicle. the vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. immediately after the vehicle was repaired, while driving 70 mph, the vehicle lost power and the electronic throttle control and fuel cap warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 47,555.
I was driving on the i-65 south to alabama, when i started to loose speed i really freaked out, and i pressed the gas pedal a little bit more but i kept loosin speed, i managed to move to the right shoulder and the good thing is that my brother-law was behind my vehicle so he realize that something was wrong with my car and that prevent me to be hit in the rear by another vehicle. i got off the car and i tried to start the car again, and the starter was working fine, then i did remember about the complaints on these carsthat if you have a 1/4 of a tank of fuel the engine would shut down, and i had a 1/4 of a tank one of my brothers went to get the gas, while i was calling chrysler to let them know what happened with this car and the chrysler guy was very helpful and offer me to sent me a tow truck, then i mentioned about the recall on these vehicles, i told him that i would try to put gas and if it worked there was no need to sent a tow truck, beside it was a family vacation and the least thing that i wanted was to spend it in a shop repair. my brother came back and the car starter right away. my family vacation was for 10 day and i was using another car from relatives in alabama, i made the appointment with my local dealership in chicago i told what happened and the said my car wasn't affected by the chrysler's recall campaign n17 nhtsa campaign number:13v120000. but thy said they would take a look at the car, i bought it for service and they paid for a car rental but the technician couldn't duplicate the problem, they had it for three days and nothing, instead of replacing a transfer tube in the fuel tank but it's not in its recall list and chrysler would not paid for that repair, so they wouldn't do it. even though i paid for extra protection for 60,000 or 84 months. so i guess they will replace this little tube until people start to die in car accidents. *tr
Engine stalled while driving on the highway at 70 mph. could not start car immediately, was towed and after being towed car started up with no problem. car was brought to the dealership and a diagnostic test was done with no errors shown. *tr
On two occasions the vehicle failed to start, once after stalling while in motion. 1)after appropriate operation of the traction control system, the vehicle was turned off and refused to restart. car was eventually restarted, showing an mil and reported an error p0335 crank shaft position sensor. after reset the car operated for over 100 miles trouble free. 2)about one week later, after appropriate operation of the traction control system, the vehicle stalled while doing 35 miles per hour, with the same indication as the first stall. the crankshaft position sensor was replaced after the second incident. previous to these events the vehicle had been trouble free for 3 winters. on 9/16/2014 the dealer had flashed the pcm 68070204ag due to an error code for failure of evaporative purge flow. *tr
Engine stalled while driving !!! engine light came on with chime . huge problem. and only 9000 miles. i really am mad, and now fear i could be killed driving this vehicle. all service oil changes, have been at a certified jeep dealership. i guess im not alone looking online..... jeep patriot is junk. needs to be recalled and off the road before someone is killed while driving this vehicle. *tr
