Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Problems started when the wheel and axel came off the vehicle on a side road 3 years ago. The vehicle dropped a wheel again when crossing the country a month later. Both incidents included my wife and passengers. That at least seems resolved. At 28900 miles or so we have been wrestling for the last year and some with intermittently all the warning lights coming on and now the car will occasionally lose all power while in motion. So we have taken it to the dealership where they say it requires a replacement of the electrical harness. Topping off, the driver seat rest safety mechanism deployed randomly this last week while the vehicle was parked in the driveway.

Incident One: 2016 Jeep Patriot stalled at 45 miles per hour. Dealership said crankshaft position sensor was defective and needed to be replaced for $550. They said there was a Recall date 2016-12-15, Recall no.16V907000 Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2016 Dodge Journey, Jeep Compass, and Jeep Patriot vehicles manufactured May 9, 2016, to July 15, 2016. The crankshaft or camshaft sensor may only work intermittently, causing the engine to stall, but that it didn't apply to my Jeep's VIN, even though same year, make and model and same issue. Paid $550 to have repaired. Incident Two: 2015 Jeep Patriot stalled at 45 miles per hour on highway in rush hour traffic. Red TPS lightning bolt, yellow TCS warning, and red Check Engine lights came on as Jeep stalled. Dealership advised that Throttle Position Sensor had failed, and as it is integrated with the Throttle Body assembly, that the entire Throttle Body assembly needed to be replaced for $800. Dealership also advised that there was a recall for this issue for 2016 Jeep Patriots like mine, but that it didn't apply to my Jeep's VIN. Almost crashed both times with passengers, none of whom were pleased. Why don't these two recalls include my vehicle, when it is the same two issues recalled for other 2016 Jeep Patriots??

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The check engine light came on. Checked it at an AutoZone. The error code was P0335, crankshaft position sensor. On the way to my mechanic, my vehicle stalled three time in 2 miles and had to pull over to a side. I felt lucky there were no vehicles behind me. Took it to a repair shop and the mechanic scanned it again. He told me to take it to a dealer because after entering my VIN, he was notified by his computer system that there is a recall notice out for this VIN. (S89) Called a Chrysler dealer but was told that there is no recall by the VIN. Called Chrysler corp and explained the situation. The rep said since the basic warranty expired, the repair service will not be covered under the recall. The engine was keep stalling and I had to repair the vehicle at the mechanics shop. Replaced the crankshaft position sensor and the harness assembly. After the repair, the problem no longer exists. Cost of repair totals $410.

Potential Consequences:
Last night was the 3rd time my family's safety was threatened by a malfunction in my 2016 Jeep Patriot (manual). When driving, the car started to stall out as if I'm changing gears badly, but wasn't doing so. Next, it stalled completely without any dashlight notices. I was forced to pop it out of gear to give some control to the steering (something I learned after the 1st time it happened). Then, I coasted to the side of the road while maneuvering moving traffic! The 1st 2 times this happened I was in local traffic and it almost caused an accident. Last night, I was in the center of I95 with rushing traffic. Terrifying! Each time the car has had to be towed and the crankshaft sensor has been the culprit. It is in the shop today (June 1, 2024) and that's the problem again! The dealership says the recall on Jeep Patriot crankshaft is not for my vehicle. Please help.

They also explained that there is a recall in place for my year and model, but that my VIN indicated that "my jeep was made 2 weeks prior to the recall window of dates."
Additional Notes:
Th crankshaft Sensor failed multiple times. This happened 4 times within 2 days while I was merging onto the freeway, people behind me had to slam on their breaks or swerve to avoid hitting me. I took it to the shop and they identified it was the crankshaft sensor. They also explained that there is a recall in place for my year and model, but that my VIN indicated that "my jeep was made 2 weeks prior to the recall window of dates."

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
On several different occasions my car has stalled in traffic and idled down for I couldn't drive had to pull over and turn it off and turn it back on to go again the check engine light then stability light will come on. Camshaft code I have fixed the cam and crankshaft sensors first time then it failed again so I changed them a second time now it's failed again .I almost got rear-ended a couple times very dangerous. Now my step button on the steering wheel and the horn quit working all of a sudden. I found out on the site of mopar that it is the electrical connector and terminal both cam sensors and crank sensors on certain vin numbers,all 2016 jeep patriots should have been included as others are having the same issues. I cannot afford to keep on putting money into this problem. This can be confirmed by my mechanic which replaced it twice. The dates this has happened are April 2023 worked for awhile then February 2024 happened again changed cam and crank sensors again. April 16 started failing again, limp mode have to pull over turn engine off turn it back on to go again. Every week at first now every few days. Engine light then traction stability light can't go over 10 miles per hour, pull over turn engine off turn it back on stability light goes off but engine light stays on for a day goes off the next day. I do not feel safe driving long distance anywhere and this can wear down your engine and vehicle life. I bought this car paid a lot of money for it for the comfort of knowing I would have something Dependable in my old age and can not keep on putting money into a problem that should have been on the recall list also. It only has 115,000 miles on it. I'm going to the Jeep dealer next week to see if Mopar can resolve this and pay for this issue. Also this happens if you're going 1 to 55 miles per hour reverse or forward doesn't matter.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My 2016 Jeep Patriot was taken in for intermittent stalling and my engine was stalling. This happened a few times. My car RPM went from 3 to 0 and I could not accelerate. I had to put the car in park and turn the car off and start it back up. The first time my car would not start back up right away. Luckily there was no one close enough behind me nor were I was going fast enough to be in an accident. I go it to a repair shop and was told my crankshaft and sensor would need to be replaced. My car is currently being serviced at Gandrud Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The phone number is (920) 468-1212. I previously looked up a recall for Jeep Patriots and there was a recall for crankshaft "Recall # [XXX]. Unfortunately my car was manufactured just after the date of [XXX] which is the cutoff of the recall. This recall is exactly what is currently being replaced on my car. I think this recall needs to be extended as this could have been a more serious accident and to help prevent more future accidents. My car should have been included in this recall.
