On 8/19/14 my 2012 jeep patriot had 30,666 miles. i made a right turn onto the highway out of a shopping center parking lot and as soon as i had made the turn my car stalled out. i coasted a bit and pulled into the parking lots next entrance. i parked my jeep and turned my key as if i was shutting my car off and then tried to turn it back on. to my surprise is turned on and i drove around the parking lot a little without another issue.. i immediately called a jeep dealer but they told me unless the issue happened again they couldn't do anything about it. i was lucky no one rear ended me. it's a very busy highway. i bought a jeep because i thought it'd be a safe vehicle to drive myself, my husband and my 1 year old baby around in. after this happened on the highway i have been extra cautious because i'm afraid it will stall again and we may not be as lucky the next time. i hope they will recall all chrysler vehicles made with this faulty fuel pump. we all deserve a safe vehicle. *tr
My husband and i were driving from new mexico to wyoming. the average speeds were between 65 and 75. after driving for about 5 hours, with stops every 2 hours to rest and get gas, the transmission light came on and the jeep lost power. we pulled over to the side of the road and let it sit for about 10 min until the light went off. we drove the rest of the way at much lower speeds. between 50 and 60 mph. the transmission overheated again on the way back after 6 hours or so, with stops every 2 hours. the dealership we took it to told us that there were no error codes, and no problems with the transmission or its fluid. there was nothing for them to fix. they advised us to stop often if we were planning on traveling for long distances. thankfully (but very scary) we were in the middle of nowhere when it happened and not in the middle of heavy traffic. *tr
I was driving my vehicle on an interstate in houston, texas at 71 mph and suddenly my engine stalled and i could not control my vehicle. several vehicles behind me had to swerve around me and nearly hit my vehicle. my vehicle eventually came to a stop and i was able to re-start the engine. the vehicle i was driving is a 2012 jeep patriot with 42,700 miles on it. i have had 2 previous warranty recalls fixed on this vehicle - one related to a fuel transfer tube and the other for a vehicle occupant restraint. *tr
While driving several times i have had the engine stall out on me and all power is killed from the vehicle. i have taken it to the dealer and they told me that unless the problem is happening when i bring in the vehicle they don't want to put money and parts into it. i bring it to then while the check engine light is on and still they wont do anything about it. *js
Was traveling down a city street. after approximately 100 feet past an intersection, the warning chime and check engine came on approximately a few seconds before the vehicle completely stalled. i lost brakes and power steering. attempting to switch transmission to park and neutral while vehicle was coasting but could not. i have a bad back so i did not utilize the parking/emergency brake. once vehicle came to a stop i was able to force the transmission to park after a few attempts. tried restarting vehicle and it would just continuously crank, but would not turn over. had public assistance to help get it in neutral and push the vehicle off the busy roadway. called dealership and was advised to have it towed in. called for tow, was taken to dealer for repair. dealer replaced crank sensor and updated pcm. *tr
While on the interstate, i was in the fast lane attempting to pass another vehicle when i started to hear this strange noise and i began to lose acceleration and the transmission light with the circle around it came on. it was a very scary thing because i had a car behind me that was very close. i was able to pull over to the shoulder. i pulled out my owners manual to see what was going on. i followed the instructions by putting it in neutral and idling it for a few minutes. it eventually stopped making that noise and the light went out and i started out on my way again. i still had a 2 hour drive left on my trip and i was scared it would happen again before i could get home. i took it to my local jeep dealership this morning and basically was told there were no sensors lighting up and they couldn't fix the problem if they couldn't replicate it. so i'm left with a car that i can't trust. *tr
While driving my 2012 jeep patriot sport 4x4 down the autobahn at around 120km(74 mph) my jeep started making a deep whirling/humming sound. while accelerating it is a low deep sounding whirling/humming sound, while decelerating the whirling/humming sound becomes louder deep sounding whirling/humming. i tried calling the jeep dealership here in germany but was basically told they could not be of any help do to my jeep being american spec. also, i find it absurd that my jeep has recalls and i was never informed and of course i've been told that i cannot get them fixed over here. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle failed to shift into second gear. the contact noticed that the rpms increased. the vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the clutch failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 47,000. the vin was not provided.
I was driving home from work at approximately 55 mph while passing a tractor trailer up a moderate incline when the engine of my 2012 jeep patriot latitude failed. upon passing the tractor trailer, all of the indicators on the dashboard began to light up - then the indicators, as well as my headlights, completely died. when the lights went out, the engine failed, and my car began to slow to a complete stop on a busy highway. i was barely able to get into a small space on the shoulder of the highway before a tractor trailer very nearly took my life. at first, i thought it was the car battery. i purchased this vehicle 13 days ago, so perhaps the battery had gotten weak on the dealer lot in the winter months. and, after my car was jumped, it began to work. however, the car could only be started once, and the engine will no longer turn over. it has been towed to a local dealership. i drive extensively for a living, and i am afraid that i will die in a car accident in this jeep patriot because the car failed completely at highway speeds. i have researched this and have found that it is a problem with 2011-2012 jeep patriots. please enforce a recall! *tr
I have a 2012 jeep patriot, i purchased new about a year 9 mouths ago, it have 13000.00 miles, i was driving on the freeway about 60 mph and the engine quit running as if it ran out of gas, i pulled over in very heavy traffic and tried starting after checking fuses and all possibilities. i had the car towed to the dealer and now the fun begins. after 2 hours and dropping the car at the dealer the car started, i left the car at the dealer and they said nothing is wrong with the car. after investigating the web i found this site and we present the information i found here to the dealer, the dealer wants to return to car and at this time i am not willing to except the car with this unsafe condition. jeep should recall these cars and fix asap before a fatality takes place. the jeep dealer will not do anything at this point. i would like a suggestion because this car is not safe to drive. *tr
I was driving down the road when all of a sudden my car felt like it pulled back then just shut off in the middle of the road thankfully there wasn't a car behind me or there would have been a serious accident. after a few tries the car started, so i drove it home then the next morning i took it to the dealer. they stated after getting it back to me 2 days later that there wasn't a code, so they'd cleared the check engine light and gave it back to me. the following week i'm driving down the main road on my way home from work and the car does the same thing. this time it was really scary, because it was rush hour and i almost got hit by a car. i attempted to start it several times then sat for a bit with the four ways then tried it again. it started up and i drove it right to the dealer. i was so shaken it took a few minutes before i finally let them know what happened again. i left the car with them then the next day they called me to come get it. i went in where they told me that it had been the crankshaft sensor that had caused the problem. i'm truly afraid to drive my vehicle i keep wondering if it will happen again. i never had problems with my used cars, but i got a new car thinking i wouldn't have to worry about anything and now i have to worry about this car turning off in the middle of the highway. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. the contact stated that the transmission failed while driving 70 mph. the vehicle decelerated and caused the limp mode to activate. the contact was able to coast onto the road shoulder. after waiting a few minutes, the contact was able to restart the engine. the failure was experienced numerous times. the vehicle was taken to skyland chrysler jeep dodge (255 smokey high park land, ashville nc 28806 phone (828-667-5213)) for diagnostic testing, but a failure code could not be located. the dealer stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. the failure mileage was 26,000.
I was driving on us 23 south just entering toledo when the vehicle lost power and after driving 4 hours at highway speeds. i was going about 60 mph at the time. as this has happened before, i pulled off at the exit at dropping power..could the car to go at most 10 mph and pulled into a service station to check fluids and refuel. after a few minutes the car restarted and was able to drive again. taking the car into dealer but they already disavowed any recalls or reported troubles with the jeep. *tr
Driving downhill on south i-15 through phelan at 4pm approximately 95 degrees outside. accelerator became non-responsive. rpms dropped to idle speeds. vehicle was essentially 'coasting' with the engine running. unable to accelerate at all. pumping accelerator was resulting in nothing. engine temp was not above halfway mark, about 1/3 tank of fuel. no engine warning lights. changing gears electronically (automatic) not helpful. was able to make it to off-ramp since i was traveling downhill. engine promptly died when i came to a complete stop. upon pulling the key out and re-inserting the electronic throttle control error light illuminated. engine would not turn over. attempted to reset computer not helpful. approximately 45 minutes later (and phone calls for road-side service) etc light went away. computer reset may have finally taken. vehicle started with no problem. drove the final 35 miles home without incident. could have been a completely different situation had i not been traveling downhill at speed. have not yet contacted dealer as i am out of new car warranty. numerous other complaints about issues at speed have me very concerned. *tr
My wife was driving on i-80 east at highway speeds. this happened about 2 hours after starting including some hilly areas but all high speed highway driving. the car suddenly lost power and she had to pull off the interstate on the shoulder. after calling several times and waiting about 20 minutes, the car restarted and she was able to drive 6 miles at lower power/low speeds to an exit where she was advised to put oil in the car. after cooling off for 20 minutes more, she was able to start the car and continue her trip (another 100 miles) without incident. *tr

While driving my vehicle on the highway, we experienced a total loss of engine power. the jeep was at speed 75-80mph when the vehicle began to decelerate, power steering was lost, and the engine died completely. fortunately we were in a sparsely populated highway and were able to pull over safely, but it could have been far worse had there been anyone around us. i have no idea what happened exactly, but we were unable to start the engine again and had to have it towed 30 minutes to the nearest dealer. upon this happening, i spoke with the jim click chrysler / jeep dealership in tucson where it was going to, and this is where it all went further downhill. not only did they not really care that this had happened, but hey, it's saturday man, and we're out of here soon, so good luck and sorry about that. we can help you on monday, but can't answer any questions, hope you can find a ride home, oh and just leave your car outside the nissan shop (really!?). not only was this a highly unsafe failure at speed, on the highway, but the followup was so poor that i am furious about the customer-service level from the folks at the local place. i guess it's a good thing nobody was seriously injured. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. while driving over 40 mph, the vehicle randomly stalled without warning. the failure recurred four times. the vehicle was pushed over to the side of the road. the vehicle failed to restart and was towed to tunkhannock auto mart: dodge ram chrysler jeep (located at 509 joseph hunter highway, tunkhannock, pa 18657), but a failure code could not be found. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified and provided case number: 5843398. the approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
The vehicle was purchased approximately two weeks prior to the incident with just shy of 15000 miles on it. two separate two to three hour trips were made in the vehicle before the incident with no problems. on the tail end of a two and a half hour trip, after cruising between 70 to 75 mph on a major interstate, all of a sudden the vehicle's rpms shot up and the engine lost power. the vehicles behind me nearly rear ended me. i coasted to the shoulder, put the vehicle into park, and turned the vehicle off. i then cranked the vehicle and continued driving. the same incident happened again approximately fifteen miles further. i pulled over, turned the vehicle off, and then turned it back on, attempting to reach my destination if possible. this incident then happened a third time, approximately 5 to 10 miles further, once again on the same interstate, but this time in the middle of city traffic. i coasted to the shoulder and attempted to restart the vehicle. at this point the vehicle would not start. we had the vehicle towed and sent to a dealership where they could not recreate the problem. the cpu did not report any error codes. each time this happened, i was nearly rear ended as i was cruising at interstate speeds in heavy traffic. the vehicle is still being inspected, but the dealerships cannot seem to recreate the problem, which is a big problem because i will be moving across country in two months and cannot risk this happening again. this vehicle as it stands is a danger not only to the driver but for other drivers on the road near the vehicle. *tr
While driving to work, i was slowing down to stop behind a bus but then had the opportunity to pass the bus. as i tried to switch lanes, my car stalled and i was stuck in between two lanes. i had to slowly drift my car to the side of the road and could hardly steer it. once pulled over to the side of the road i tried to restart but the car would not restart. after sitting for five minutes, the vehicle restarted and i was able to drive without a problem. the first dealership said that it could have stalled because it was wet outside, which is completely unreasonable. at the second dealership, i didn't receive a much better explanation. they said that it could have been static electricity which caused it to turn off. as of right now, it has not happened again but it has not been a week since the incident. *tr
Stopped my 2012 patriot at a light to turn left. i stepped on gas pedal to accelerate forward but no acceleration/revving occurred. when the pedal was depressed no resistance was felt but rather the pedal went to the floor with no acceleration/revving twice. i repeated this again with no acceleration/revving. on the third attempt the patriot accelerated forward. the service department said to turn off engine and restart the vehicle to get the electrical system in sync. the vehicle was driven on highway for 30 minutes then 15 city traffic, air temp 38 degrees, pavement dry to wet (melting snow). *tr
While traveling at highway speeds on interstate 5 near bakersfield california, and under cruise control, my 2012 jeep patriot stalled and lost power to the tires. at that moment, the check engine, electronic stability control, and electric systems (red lightning bolt) lights all began to flash. i was able to pull off the freeway safely. being only a few miles from my eventual destination, i attempted to continue to drive the vehicle. i was able to keep the vehicle in gear at very low rpms (sub 2500). at rpms over 2500, however, the engine would misfire and i would experience no acceleration. with the vehicle still partially disabled, i was able to reach my destination. i turned the vehicle off, unloaded my luggage, and then returned to inspect the engine compartment. seeing that all belt, hose, and cable connections were secure, and all fluids at their proper levels, i restarted the engine and drove the vehicle successfully for about a mile, with no evidence of the recent symptoms. being that the vehicle is still so new, and well maintained, this particular incident was particularly alarming. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. the contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning. the failure recurred intermittently. the vehicle was taken to the dealer; however they were unable to duplicate the failure. the failure was reported to the manufacturer. the failure mileage was 6,000. the current mileage was 8,092.
The following incident has occurred twice within the last week and a half: today, while driving (luckily coming to a stop) my jeep began shaking violently and the engine shut off. it restarted and drove normally. last weekend, while backing out of a parking space, the check engine light flashed and i immediately lost steering (soon realizing that the vehicle had shut off). again, it restarted and drove normally. had this occurred while driving on the interstate at a higher speed i'm sure the consequences could have been worse that causing concern. however, i have read on the jeep forum that this problem has been occurring in 2011 and 2012 jeep patriots at higher speeds, one with a fatality. that alone is very disheartening. my jeep currently has 10, 430 miles on it, i bought it in april of 2012. *tr
On interstate highway at highway speed on cruise control. instant engine stall. fuel gauge reads 3/8 full. this happened twice in the span of 5 hours. first stall - towed to dealership in bowling green ky. the engine started right up at the dealership. no engine fault codes were available. dealership blamed it on bad gas. second stall - same conditions near memphis tn. aaa added one gallon of fuel, the engine started right up. was able to continue the trip as long as we kept the fuel above 1/2 tank full. both incidents could have been a crash had there been traffic, fortunately we coasted to the shoulder. *tr

I was on the last stretch of my trip coming into reno nevada on interstate 80 west at the speed of 70 mph, when out of no where my 2012 jeep patriot shut off. it was not over heating no warning lights. i was very fortunate to maneuver my vehicle safely off to the side of the interstate without an accident occurring. a state trooper came up from behind within a few minutes thankfully. he asked me to sit in his vehicle while a tow truck driver was called because my vehicle was not in a safe place from the curve of the mountain and ongoing traffic. my jeep would not start and would stick with the key on the on start position continually turning over without engine starting. it was after hours by the time my vehicle was towed in to a jeep lithia dealership. to make a long story short, i was called to pick up my jeep and that they could not find nothing wrong with it, and that the mechanic started it right up several times. i asked if it was put on the diagnostics machine and the service department employee said yes, that it did not kick out any codes of any problems happening to it. i drove a couple hours more into california with no other problems happening. *tr
Stopped at red light on incline, went to go car would only roll backwards with no engine running. turned off key, restarted vehicle. stopped at same light incident was repeated 2 more times. entering highway at stop light car approximately going less than 5 mph engine stopped running. turned key off and turned the car back on. *tr
This is the second incident that i have had with this car. the first incident was very similar. this time i was coming back from arizona into california and i was on the 15 south between barstow and victorville. i was traveling at approximately 70 mph in the left lane. the cruise control was previously, but had been cancelled and i had traveled appr. 10 miles after canceling it. without warning the throttle revved and became unresponsive. the car stalled and i was unable to get to the right shoulder. i pulled over to the left shoulder. the fuel gauge read halfway between 1/4 and 1/2. the engine would not restart. i called roadside assistance and had the car towed to the dealer in victorville. when the car was taken off the tow truck, i was able to start it again. i drove home the rest of the way. i took the car to the dealership 2 weeks after this incident to have it looked at. the car had not been driven at all since the incident. the dealer ran diagnostic tests and concluded the issue was with the transmission overheating due to mud. i was advised the transmission was designed to shut off if it got too hot with little to no warning. this is the second time this has happened with this vehicle and i have not observed any warning light on the dashboard before the engine cuts off. *tr
On a saturday, my wife was on the freeway driving about 70mph, away from home, heavy traffic and 3 kids in the patriot. the jeep lost all power (saw the red lightening bolt indicator on the dash), then stalled and she had to immediately transition to the edge of the freeway, which had a very narrow shoulder. she attempted for an hour and a half to start the jeep. a state trooper showed up advised it was unsafe for the kids. the trooper took the kids to the local chrysler/jeep dealer. the jeep was taken to local dealer. the sales manager, after the jeep came off the tow truck was able to start the jeep. he said maybe she accidentally activated the 4wd, then proceeded to tape it down and told her if it runs ok on sunday she should be ok to drive home. my wife was able to drive the patriot sunday and started home on monday. about 30 miles from home it happened again, the lightening bolt, lost all power and it stalled. she was on the freeway at 70mph and had to merge to the shoulder with medium traffic conditions. she tried to start the patriot for 40 minutes, it did not start. while waiting for the tow truck a chp officer stopped, stated as the trooper had previously, it was unsafe for the kids to be on the freeway. he took them to the local chrysler/jeep dealer so they would be safe. bottom line "the jeep lost all power (saw the red lightening bolt indicator on the dash), then stalled" twice in 3 days. chrysler/jeep to date has stated, if there are no codes there is nothing they can do. this vehicle is unsafe to drive as indicated by my wife's experience and 7 other complaints listed on this site. please do something about this unsafe vehicle condition before somebody gets killed. *tr
