“Purchased my 2015 Jeep Patriot on 10/16/2020. Three hours later, as I was driving home, I had a major loss of power (went from highway speeds to 10mph) and the dash lit up with the check engine light, traction control and lightning bolt all flashing or lit. I also lost the ability to accelerate and the Jeep would only coast at 10mph and would shake/shudder if stopped.”

“I am having the same issue as just about everyone here with this make and model vehicle. I have stalled twice and one of those times almost caused an accident because I was exiting the highway when it stalled. Many times now for the past several months it has been slowing down to a crawl and repeatedly hesitating like it's choking. This happens presently, at almost every turn I make and sometimes I have to pull over and restart the vehicle. Definitely should be looked into as it most certainly is a road safety concern/issue.”

“Picked it up on 12/5/18 from the dealership after having the cv axle replaced and all of a sudden or according to them coincidence my throttle body control has died. It was fine until they worked on it and I was on the way to take my car home and noticed the red lightning bolt light flashing off and on and the jerking and stalling happening, which did not do before they worked on it. Now, I can't get them to fix it without them wanting me to pay for it even though, I wasn't having this issue at all. …”

NHTSA complaint #11156966, filed 2018-12, 45,220 miles

“While I am driving, the car stops running., the engine cuts off. I have to put the car in park or neutral to restart the engine. Sometimes it will start up sometimes I have to wait on it to starts. Today it stopped in the middle of the street and it did not start back up..the car had to be pushed out the street. My Jeep will stop on the expressway while driving up to speed, it will stop on rural streets and while turning left or right it will shut down in the middle of the turn..this is extremely dangerous because it only shuts down when the car is in motion. …”
