Had issues with catalytic converters but was repaired prior to receiving the recall paperwork. my check engine light came on and this was the copy of the computer diagnostic. i paid out of pocket to get repaired.
2015 jeep patriot had a problem starting two days prior to the event. it would not turn over while parked. after waiting five minutes, i turned the key again and it started. then, two days later while driving about 60 mph on the freeway, the vehicle stalled while i was accelerating. for the next 20 seconds it oscillated between accelerating and coasting while i held my foot on the gas pedal. as i coasted towards an upcoming off-ramp, i lost power steering. once i was off the freeway, i had to coast into a parking lot and had the vehicle towed to a chrysler dodge jeep ram dealership. they ran their "diagnostic tests" and found nothing. they test drove the car for 10 miles and were unable to recreate the issues. they updated the pcm and tcm and ran their computer diagnostic tests again. nothing was found. i feel incredibly unsafe driving my jeep patriot now. i escalated the issue to chrysler customer care who was unable to do anything to help me until the problems are recreated and documented by a dealership. this is a known problem with jeeps. 2016 jeep patriots were recalled for this very reason. why ...
Catastrophic failure of throttle control while driving down the highway. vechile began to sputter and immediately flashed the lightning bolt warning light dropping from 80mph to 10 mph. this was associated with the vechile violently sputtering. vechile will start but when drive is engaged at low rpm nothing happens. with acceleration the car will sputter and not get past 15 miles per hour. during sputtering no power steering is avalible and braking is made difficult with sputtering.
Car began to rev up while idle and electronic throttle light came on. once i started to drive the car began to lose acceleration. this occurred in the middle of the road at several red lights after being stopped. took to shop and they said this was a known issue with this car. the throttle body had to be replaced.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 jeep patriot. while the contact's daughter was driving various speeds or while the vehicle was stopped, it stalled. the vehicle was able to be restarted. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted, but did not assist. the contact stated that the failure was similar to nhtsa campaign number: 16v907000 (engine and engine cooling). the failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
The crankshaft sensor failed causing the engine to stop while driving without warning on a city street in boston. the car was brought to the nearest garage where they replaced the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor, but then an engine code came up saying that the accelerator pedal also needed to be replaced. i am unsure if this was related to the crankshaft sensor issue or just a coincidence. the car then had to be towed to a jeep dealer to replace the accelerator pedal and relearn the sensors. i noticed there was a recall on 2016 jeep patriots for the same crankshaft problem but no recall has been issued for the same problem occurring in 2015 jeep patriots. the engine died without warning and it is fortunate that this happened at ~20mph, it would have been disastrous at highway speeds.
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
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.
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.
While on the highway, electronic throttle sensor light comes on. vehicle starts jerking, slowing, and dies. causing you to lose steering and adequate brakes.

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
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.
