| Description of the problem | I own a 2015 jeep patriot with 34,000 miles on the jeep. Over the past week my jeep has failed me. It stalled while driving 3 times. In addition while driving, the jeep was jerking , hesitating and the rpm's dropping to zero with no warning at all. A total loss of powersteering and brakes occured as well. The third time resulted in me almost getting hit and left me stranded on the road. After getting my jeep towed to the local lee jeep ( fort walton beach fl) the service department cannot locate an issue with the jeep. The jeep has stalled out on them, but cannot get a code. So now i am with out a car, having to pay for a rental out of my pocket and i am a single teacher. This is poor serive and an extreme safety issue. After doing research it seems that is an issue for multiple jeep patroits of various makes and models and jeep is aware of the situation and has recalled other years, but not the 2015 which is having the same issue. The issue seems to be the crankshaft/ camshaft senor wire harness ( saftey recall s89 for the 2016 model) also the same issue with later models as well. The dealership has had my jeep for 3 days now and no solution in sight. Many other jeep owners have been in the same shoes as i am now. With a jeep that has only 34,000 miles, such failures should not occur and such expenses should be passed onto the owner for such a widespread and known issue. |
