| Description of the problem | Vehicle loses power and/or stalls while driving, even at high speeds. Vehicle stalled several times when stopped. I had to let car sit for a few minutes before it would restart. Lost acceleration at low speeds, especially after turning a corner and beginning to accelerate. You press on the gas and nothing happens. This also happened several times on the highway going 60mph. Luckily it kicked back in. There is a recall on the same year patriot s89 for the crankshaft sensor, which was the exact problem on my patriot. I informed the dealer of this recall when i took the car in for service. He said it wasn't applicable to my vehicle and wouldn't keep the paperwork i gave him for the recall. The dealer, however, told me it was the abs system and charged me to replace it and then ended up replacing the crankshaft sensor after the problem still happened on the test drive after replacing abs. The patriot stalled on the highway. If the dealer would have listened to me and done the test drive first, they would have discovered the issue right away. This is a huge safety issue. Luckily i didn't get hit on the highway. |
