Takata recall: as you drive this vehicle the engine will slightly stall out and hiccup. also causing the transmission to jitter slightly but noticeably so. it does it whether its hot, cold regardless. i feel as if this vehicle is affected by the engine recall because it does stall and stutter while driving.

While running (city or highway) vehicle stalls when power request by acceleration. seems like a rough noise when automatic shift change, losing the power.

Every summer since i bought the car the cvt transmission overheats when driving at speeds ove 60mph on the highway. several times my vehicle has lost power and im forced to the roadside to wait until it cools down. it happened to me in chicago once where there is no shoulder to the thruway and i thought i was going to be killed. ive had it to the dealership at least 6 times for this problem and have had no resolve. the car has currently been at the dealership for over a month now and ive also been dealing with jeep customer car and all they keep telling me is that they cant do anything about it. im lost at this point. i think this may fall under the lemon law but jeep will not work on anything with me. please help

2014 jeep patriot is stalling when trying to accelerate, especially uphill. it is also stalling after slowing down and then accelerating again. while going uphill recently the vehicle sputtered to climb uphill. luckily the vehicle has not completely stalled out yet. this mostly happens on city street however when getting onto the on ramp it sputters to accelerate sometimes and also if traffic comes to a stop on the highway and i try to accelerate again. i have no idea what is causing this. i have completed regular maintenance on the car so this has come out of nowhere. i see previously there was a recall for a loss of oil pressure which could cause the vehicle to stall but i'm not sure if my vehicle went through this recall.

I have a 2014 jeep patriot latitude that has 48100 miles on it . its was fine up until know where it will stall out while driving and shut down and the stability light would come on . i would pull over and the car would restart . it has been happening a lot and its scary not to know when it will happen again . someone is going to get killed if the problem is not fixed . jeep should have a recall on the cars and fix the problem . the problem has happened while turning a corner and on streets and then went to stall out on a highway.

Patriot will shake/vibrate really bad when in drive and sitting idle (like at a red light with the foot on the brake). if i place it in park, neutral or start driving the heavy vibration goes away.

My 2014 jeep patriot just experienced transmission failure. it has 91,000 miles on it, but has been properly maintenanced. the input shaft bearing started making grinding and whining noises when the clutch was let out while parked and driving. soon had troubles shifting and my transmission not wanting to go into gear. i looked on the internet for a remedy and noticed thousand of complaints related to this same issue involving most jeep vehicles. one vehicle only had 31,000 miles when their transmission failed. my vehicle is currently at the automotive shop. they stated that i have 3 options which include rebuild my current transmission (which may be a total loss) , buy a used tramsmission ( no guarantee of when another failure will occur), or buy a new transmission from the dealership (no guarantee of when failure will occur). the automotive shop stated that there is a parts shortage due to this issue and may not be able to obtain the parts to rebuild the transmission and also lack of used transmissions due to the same issue. i just bought this vehicle 1 year ago and will have to pay thousands to fix it due to a known ...
