Incident date: Feb 4, 2026
My car broke down as I was driving with no prior indication or warning. It failed to run when I tried to start it back up, so I had to push it off the road and call for a tow. The shop told me the problem was that the tube-fuel supply line was corroded from the inside and needed to be replaced. I ha
... d a similar issue with my brake fluid lines being corroded and needing to be replaced a year prior. How is it these supply lines are built out of such a poor material, that the vehicle barely makes it 10 years/100K miles and they are already failing because the fuel line can't handle fuel and the brake line can't handle brake fluid?Read more

The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that the check engine warning light had illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the fuel and the oxygen were not mixing correctly. The dealer confirmed that the throttle body box sensor failed and needed to be repl

The throttle body box sensor was replaced again. The contact stated that after the repair, while starting the vehicle, there was a misfire coming from the engine. The contact made several attempts, but the failure persisted. After turning off the vehicle, waiting for a while, and then restarting the vehicle, the contact was able to drive to the residence. The contact stated that the check engine warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle was returned to the dealer a third time, and the dealer determined that the same part needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 25,105.Read more

Drivers headrest deployed while vehicle was in my driveway overnight. I could have been injured or it could have cause an accident if the headrest deployed while driving. Many other people online have had this issue with their 2015 Jeep Patroit. No warnings provided and despite an auto repair place
... stating they cannot repair it but they believe there was a recall for this. I have not found one but there should be. Because I was told it was expensive to replace I did not have it repaired when it occurred sometime in early 2024. No police informed since it occurred while parked in my driveway overnight.Read more

Incident date: Jan 27, 2025
My vehicle's driver side headrest deployed for no reason at all. This happened approximately August 2024. I'm the only person who drives this vehicle. I went into my car and to my surprise I noticed that it had deployed. Since I wasn't driving the vehicle when it deployed , it must have happened
... when the vehicle was parked in my driveway. November 11, 2024, I brought my vehicle to a repair shop to replace a crankshaft sensor and while the vehicle was there I asked them to reset the headrest. They said that they could not reset it and that the headrest would have to be taken apart in order to fix it and that it would be expensive to fix. So since the headrest was not my priority at the time and I didn't want to spend a lot on it, I told them to not fix it. They also said that Chrysler "might" recall the headrest in December 2024 so to bring it back to them once there is a recall.Read more

I bought my 2015 Jeep Patriot new as I was getting older & I said this is the last vehicle I will buy. I am nearing [XXX] now & today I took it about 35 miles from home & on way back it jerked so hard I didn't think I was gonna make it home. I was going 65 mph but even slowing down to 45-50 it still
... jerked bad! There was no lights on the dash come on. Was very scary. I have babied my car took excellent care of it & have 45,000 miles on it. I do not have money to have transmission replaced & that's what I'm reading on computer. I have so many medical bills I can't afford nothing right now. Did I miss a recall or have there been problems with these cars transmissions? Can you help me know what it could be? The car dealer wants $139 an hour to check it out & I'm worried sick.

My car has caught on fire with smoke at least 4 times, 3 times with my minor child inside of it. I have video to show you just how dangerous it is. All components of the vehicle have failed. I have put thousands of dollars into the vehicle and it only has 80,000 miles on it. My safety and my son and
... elderly mother's safety has been at extreme risk and my car is NOT SAFE TO OWN OR DRIVE. Carl Gregory, the dealer, never informed me EVER of a 2015 Jeep Patriot recall only three months after I purchased the vehicle while pregnant. The vehicle has been inspected/ worked on by Carl Gregory and now Southern Motors Jeep several times over the last 8 years located on Middleground Road at the corner of Abercorn Street in Savannah, Georgia. My insurance company has charged me to tow my vehicle at least six times as my son and I have been stranded all over the city waiting hours for a tow truck. There were no warning lamps on the vehicle prior to it catching fire and I have my car tuned regularly at Wal-Mart Automotive and cleaned at Montgomery Cross Roads Car Wash once a month. Today the engine stalled and I barely made it out of of the street which is highly dangerous for pedestrians and other drivers on the road. This is probably the 3rd time it has done that. The steering wheel stalls leaving me at the whim of an open road as my car goes out of control. The radio's electrical unit shut down two years ago and the back door does not open. I can't afford to fix those.The brakes were replaced approximately two years after owning it as the vehicle would not slow down during a red light (at the cost of $2,000). I had to veer right. Last November, the car was worked on and the clutch was replaced because it stopped working. One month ago we paid $600 for a new power steering hose to be replaced as it apparently was and continues to leak fluid. This has now been indicated on the dashboard as "hot oil". Currently, I love my car but my family and I are PETRIFIED AND TRAUMATIZED.Read more

While driving the vehicle will randomly, without warning or any dash notification icons alerted, turn off engine- radio, lights, a/c everything else is still on but engine is off. This occurred 4 times in less than a 2 mile distance without any check engine or notification lights on the dash before,
... during, or after the event. This issue originally started about a week ago, when the check engine and throttle system notification icons came on, followed immediately by the car going into what seemed to be limp mode. Car was towed to the jeep dealership, they said issue was the battery and that an oil change was needed. Had issues addressed took the car how two days later, same issue occurred again. While driving same two icons suddenly came on then car went immediately into limp mode and was not driveable. Took the car back to the jeep dealer, they took a few days to drive it and stated it was the fuel throttle body that needed to be replaced. Had the part replaced and the car drove as normal, no icons on dash after the repair, next morning same issue occurred again while driving, icons come on dash, immediately car goes into limp mode. Circling back to the biggest concern, is I’ve found large amounts of owners having the exact same if not oddly similar issues with varying years of the jeep patriots. Many are reporting my reason for this report in that suddenly after Jeep dealers require all these repairs they’re experiencing the engine completely shutting off WHILE DRIVING. This is incredibly dangerous and I’m concerned as to why there A. Isn’t a repair for this common issue in these models, and B. Why a recall hasn’t been submitted for the most dangerous scenario where many owners are having their cars engines shut down while driving, and some at high speeds. This is incredibly dangerous and frustrating that our safety has not been addressed when online there are years worth of forums for these issues without resolution.Read more

Urgent Safety Complaint: Sudden Loss of Power in 2015 Jeep Patriot on Interstate I am writing to formally report a critical safety issue I experienced with my 2015 Jeep Patriot on multiple occasions. While driving on the interstate at approximately 70mph, my vehicle unexpectedly lost power, causing
... an immediate drop in speed. This incident occurred under normal driving conditions with no prior warning signs or dashboard alerts. The sudden loss of power in a high-speed lane posed a severe risk not only to my safety but also to other motorists, as it could have led to a multi-vehicle collision. Fortunately, I was able to maneuver the vehicle to the shoulder without incident, but the potential for a more severe outcome was distressingly high. I am extremely concerned about the reliability and safety of the 2015 Jeep Patriot. I urge a thorough investigation into this matter to identify and rectify any underlying mechanical or electrical issues that could lead to such a dangerous situation. It is crucial to address this problem promptly to prevent potential accidents and ensure the safety of all drivers. Researching this issue online has shown that this is a common issue among many Jeep Patriots. I am willing to provide further details or assistance as needed for your investigation. Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious safety concern. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)Read more

The throttle body on my 2015 Jeep has been replaced twice and is faulty again for the third time. I've owned the vehicle since brand new from dealer. The throttle body’s main task is regulating air intake on the engine. The throttle body malfunction makes the Jeep prone to engine stalling, start

Over the past year, the car has had 4 crank position sensors, new pig tails/connectors on the wire harness, a new throttle body, and a new MCM. The Jeep will randomly shut off without warning either at stoplights/traffic or on the highway at speed. While at speed, the car will "restart" itself, but
... if it stalls while stagnant a manual restart is necessary. When the stalling occurs, warning lights do not appear on the dash. Lately, however; the crank position code P0339 has come up with the check engine light. I recently experienced a crank position sensor code followed by a cylinder 3 misfire which caused the car to go into limp mode. Once I replaced the MCM, the misfire went away. Most recently (today) the car stalled in the middle of an intersection while making a left turn; my [XXX] son was in the car with me. Since it was a stop light, the car was able to be restarted in time, but had it been a stop sign/non-stop oncoming traffic, the situation could have been much worse.

Over the past year, the car has had 4 crank position sensors, new pig tails/connectors on the wire harness, a new throttle body, and a new MCM. The Jeep will randomly shut off without warning either at stoplights/traffic or on the highway at speed. While at speed, the car will "restart" itself, but
... if it stalls while stagnant a manual restart is necessary. When the stalling occurs, warning lights do not appear on the dash. Lately, however; the crank position code P0339 has come up with the check engine light. I recently experienced a crank position sensor code followed by a cylinder 3 misfire which caused the car to go into limp mode. Once I replaced the MCM, the misfire went away. Most recently (today) the car stalled in the middle of an intersection while making a left turn; my [XXX] son was in the car with me. Since it was a stop light, the car was able to be restarted in time, but had it been a stop sign/non-stop oncoming traffic, the situation could have been much worse.

My 2015 Jeep Patriot randomly loses power to the engine/stalls out nearly every time I make a trip. More specifically, the RPMs will suddenly drop to zero. This has happened at every speed from 10 mph to 80 mph. Often I have to pull over, take the key out and lock/unlock the doors several times to g
... et the engine to start back up. I have been stranded for as long as 45 minutes to an hour waiting for the vehicle to become operable again.Read more
