On several occasions i notice that when i go start my jeep it the engine has a bit of hesitation starting, when it starts it like thump. also while drive my vehicle seem to increase an at time decrease on its own. today i did a search on recalls and found one safety recall n52. i contacted chrysler to inquire about the recall and was told there were no recalls for my jeep. i explained that nhtsa had the recall information on their web site, and was informed that it is not the nhtsa who puts recalls. recalls are vin specific. i'm a little baffle by the woman at chrysler's comment, due to the fact that she has no idea of what is happening with my vehicle. i thank the woman and stated that i honestly hope the information given is correct and that i am safe on the roads. personally i don't trust the manufactures due to having past recalls on vehicles and recieving no notification. my question to nhtsa is regarding recall n52 is this a vin specific recall or is this a recall for 2014 jeep patriot owners. i also notice the issue another person had with the rear brake squealing.
I work for the federal government and this incident occurred with one of our shared fleet vehicles. on 5/11/15, i was driving a 2014 jeep patriot from pittsburgh, pa to erie, pa on interstate 79 north. approximately 1 1/2 hours into the trip, i was traveling at approximately 65 mph in the left lane and attempting to pass another car. i noticed that my vehicle was quickly losing power. i was unable to pull off the road on the left due to an embankment. after several cars and tractor trailers had to brake and swerve to pass me on the right, i was able to steer the car into the right lane and off the side of the road just before it stopped completely. i was not able to restart the vehicle and called for a tow.

Upon backing out of my driveway, i noticed a vibration and related noise coming from behind the firewall of my jeep; however, after placing the vehicle in neutral while shifting from reverse to drive the noise went away. upon placing the vehicle in drive and accelerating to 5-10 miles an hour the vibration and noise, which i can only describe as a idling motorcycle returns. if the jeep is traveling at a speed under 20 mph or sitting in drive at a stop light or stop sign this issue is present. within about a week of this happening, the jeep had issues starting. once the key was placed in the ignition and an attempt to start the care was made, the engine had difficulty starting. it would engine would turnover several times before it would finally start. i can only describe it as the same experience an individual would experience when starting a car after replacing the carburetor. when this occurs the jeep will stall without aby explanation. of course, when it has been taken to the dealership, they are unable to recreate the problem and explain that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. *tr
As i was turning a corner the engine died. no warning lights. *tr
As i was backing out of driveway the car died on the road. *tr

While driving my car, i slowed down to turn into a parking lot..as i was turning, the car cut off..there was no warning or noises. just dead..i was able to restart it with no problems. .later that day i was pulling out of a parking spot and it cut off again. it is still covered under the warranty so i took it to the dealership. after a full day they told me that they can't duplicate my problem and no service lights were on so they gave me my car back. told to wait till a light comes on. i have given it 1 week with it cutting off several times. and yet no engine light is on..i am so scared to drive my car especially after someone almost hit me when it stalled. lastly, while driving my car, i was turning at a major intersection and it stalled again in the middle of the street. next up, dealership tomorrow morning. *tr

When making a turn at a stop light or merging into traffic at a low speed, engine dies but will restart after it's put back into park & restarted. this has happened seven times & one time when not turning & usually when you are turning into oncoming traffic and has been in for repairs each time. service can't diagnose the issue. vehicle does not give any indication that engine will die. traction control light comes on if it dies while turning but if not turning, vehicle engine simply shuts off, as if ignition has been turned off but vehicle has to be in park as opposed to being in drive when engine dies. the engine is quiet & you can't tell it's died & you have no steering control. i've almost been in three accidents, one with a truck-trailer waiting to turn but stopping about a foot away from behind me. my mom was in a high school parking lot after a game & almost rolled into some high school kids & their parents b/c she didn't realize she was rolling backwards until my brother pulled the e-brake. the dealership i purchase from told me that chrysler deems it a lemon. i opened a case with chrysler, they wasted my time & finally told me that ncdsusa.org deems it a lemon. i waste more time to open a case with ncdsusa.org & send them my repair orders & they go through the trial & tell me that they do not deem it a lemon but that since the dealership has said it's in working order that my case is declined. this vehicle is a death trap & chrysler doesn't care that an unsafe vehicle is on the road, that i've almost been in three accidents & could have died when the truck and trailer almost rear-ended me and that it's not just my family or myself (if i survive) that will be filing a lawsuit but any other parties involved because i will tell the other party and they could be sued by them as well. i've given dealerships chances to get this off the road but they refuse to help.
Mfg and dealer indicate that all jeep patriots have transmission metering/sensoring system that fails and that they don't know how to fix the the defective components. they say they're not issuing a safety recall because there haven't been enough crashes or fatalities. when the transmission light goes on, the vehicle will slow down swiftly (ex 70mph to 20mph or full stop) and this impacts vehicle safety - putting safety and lives of thousands of jeep drivers at risk, along with passenger and their families. all mfg and dealer try to do is collect diagnostic testing fee for vehicle defects they're aware of and have no fix for. basically, they're willing to collect money and let people crash or die. i was last affected on may 31, 2014 and was left stranded on the i-10 in az at 115 degrees in the desert. i have to steer off highway to avoid trucks crashing into me. i suffered heat exhaustion and can't drive the vehicle anymore due to safety, stress, and anxiety. jim click dealership and their mfg customer care mgr still try to collect money for diagnostic testing, but fully acknowledge that this is a known issue with no fix. i've demanded that they recall this vehicle, but they refuse. jim click service mgr david sagers indicates that the mfg is "toying" with a senario where they lower the transmission fluid levels in these jeeps, but that they don't really think that will be a fix. he says other models are also affected. please issue a safety recall and if there is no fix, please help get me into a new vehicle. previously, i was stranded for another recall issue - the actuator flow control valve 36016 and the tech found code p2017 and a faulty intake manifold valve sensor. this jeep is a death trap. *js
It is a jeep patriot 2014, when i drive at high speeds half the engine dies. without displaying any notice or code. i was off to a 6-7 times. i've taken to the dealer but this indicates that the vehicle does not show the fault. the gas cap has to leave for various occasions. *tr
I purchased this 2014 patriot four weeks ago with, i have not even made a first payment. yesterday while driving in a parking lot my jeep lost all power. i was shifted into drive and would hit the gas pedal and nothing would happen. there was absolutely no warning that is was going to stall, no indicator lights ever turned on. i placed the jeep in park and turned off the ignition. turned it back on, it was not immediate there was some lag on the start and was able to drive it again. i took it to my local dealership today to be inspected after a few hours they told me they could find nothing wrong and sent me on my way. i have investigated further and found that the 2011/2012 models have been investigated for this same problem in the past. this is a terrifying and dangerous occurrence that must be resolved. i am now fearful that this will reoccur in much more congested or high speed conditions. *tr
I stopped to get mail and as i was entering traffic the truck engine died. no warning lights came on. *tr
