SEATS
Potential Consequences:
The passenger-side active headrest on my 2016 Jeep Patriot deployed randomly while I was driving. There was no warning prior to the incident. The plastic surrounding the pin broke away and caused the front cushion of the headrest to spring forward. If someone had been sitting in the passenger seat, they could have been struck in the back of the head, and if the driver's seat were to deploy in this manner, it could have caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The headrest has not been inspected by a dealer or service center, but the cause is clearly visible. The problem occurred suddenly and without warning.

Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
ABS and other lights flashed on the dashboard, the vehicle slowed as if the brakes were pressed. And then it happens several more times before getting home. I brought the vehicle and saw there was a failure of the left rear ABS sensor. Upon looking the sensor is just sitting loose and the clip is rusted out and the sensor has no slot to press into. Upon research I see that this clip rusting out is a problem in these and it is very obviously a safety problem as for whatever reason the brakes engage when the sensor is faulty.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
My Jeep began having a few second stall and restart while driving randomly late 2020. I’m the last 6 months it stalls for longer periods of time but I initially was able to put it in neutral and restart it. About 4 months ago it became more and more difficult to start after I would be forced to pull to the side of the road with no power, hard steering and hard brakes. The check engine light came on at one point. I called the dealership and it was suggested that I take the Jeep in. The diagnostic code indicated the crankshaft position sensor (P0339). But the check engine light wasn’t flashing and it was late in the afternoon so I had to make an appointment to take it back. After 4 days the check engine light went off. The stalling just got very frequent. I would put it in park and turn the ignition repeatedly and after several minutes it would regain power. Just over 1 month ago it stalled in the middle of a busy intersection during afternoon rush hour. It had to be pushed out of the intersection. After more than 10 minutes of continued ignition turns it started and I made it 3 blocks to home and parked it. I had it towed to the same dealership 5 days ago. The crankshaft position sensor has to be replaced. I’ve done research over the last 48 hours and found there was a recall for some 2016 Jeep Patriots for the crankshaft position sensor because it was a safety problem. I’ve checked my VIN number and there has been no recall for this on my vehicle. However, my Jeep Patriot is a 2016 with the exact same problem the the recall was initiated for. Please help me with this if you’re able to. I don’t know where else to turn.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Vehicle suddenly stalls with no prior warning, both while driving and at rest. This cannot be duplicated and does not throw codes on the code scanner. Occasionally it will "hiccup" and keep going instead of a complete stall. RPM drops to zero and will then jump back to their prior reading. The vehicle becomes impossible to control (stalled so no speed st all abd difficult to steer). Mechanic cannot duplicate problem or find code on their reader. We have replaced the throttle body and one camshaft sensor but not the other, more difficult to reach sensor. There is a current recall for camshaft/crankshaft sensor that applies to some 2016 jeep patriots but ours falls outside of that manufacturing date range.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
On June 14th, I wrote a complaint of having issues of my car stopping on me on June 6. Thinking it was the fuel system, since that was the message that O'Reilly's gave me. I was out of commission till July 16th, when I got the fuel vapor leak detection pump & the canister purge valve replaced. That same day my car ran fine with 2 times within the travel back home, of my car having issues starting up again. I managed to make it to O'Reilly's to see what the issue may have been now. I was told that again the message read evap leak & now a new warning of the crankshaft senor. I was able to still drive home and let the car rest. The next day, July 17th, I was on my way to work and a block before I was to get on the freeway, my car shut off on me again! I managed to get to the gas station. I was only 10 minutes from the house and it took 3 hours of stopping & going on a busy street and only getting so far back up the street, that I again had to be towed back to the house. Where my car has remained parked since then. The warning lights are still the 'Check Engine" & now the "Electric Throttle Control Warning" Two weekends ago, a family member helped jumpstart it, it was running fine until I took the cables off and my car turned off again. I just came on the site just to see if there may have been another recall for my car. And it turns out the very issue is the crankshaft senor that was recalled in 2017! I've only had this vehicle since January 2022, and between the 2 owners & dealerships before, this should of been fixed! My vehicle was made in May of 2016 which was apart of the recall group! And this issue is showing up literally 7 years later. I don't know what the next process is for how to get a recall fixed, especially since my car is not drivable! Also, I don't know what else may go wrong after this second issue is to be corrected. I'm unsure if this vehicle has been fully inspected before selling it! I don't feel safe in driving in its uncertainty!

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Vehicle stalls and doesn't start. Would also occasionally shake and the check engine light comes on. Throttle body was replaced less than 1 year ago and it is currently not starting due to the same issue. Needs another throttle body. It's the position sensor that seems to go bad due to all the heat generating around it. Both times it really acted up once the weather warned. Unfortunately you can't just replace the sensor, the whole throttle body needs replaced. At $350 each from the factory. Online it seems like a lot of people are having the same problem.
