2016 Jeep PATRIOT Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1397485
Internal NHTSA #	11012865

Model Year	2016
File date	12/10/16
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Shifts from d to 1st on its own: from a stop, the 2016 jeep patriot semi-automatic transmission drops to first gear on its own. There is no indication until the driver has pulled into traffic and has no acceleration power. The dash light indicates the vehicle is in 1st gear, but the driver was not expecting this and must either gun the engine and take rpms off the chart to avoid a crash from oncoming vehicles, or manually shift the vehicle to n or p and then return to d for a type of "reset". The issue is intermittant. The dealership where we bought the vehicle cannot replicate the problem (in to shop 3x for this issue). They replaced the stick sensor and opened two separate staron packs with jeep engineers. But the problem continues. I suspect its transmission ($$) related or electrical ($$). Moving on to new dealership service. Fingers crossed. Cruise control: when cruise engaged at 70-75 mph on open hwy, had to slow for traffic. Speed dropped down to about 60-65. When reengaged cruise, the vehicle accelerated uncontrollably--rpms shot through the roof. Had to tap the breaks to disengage cruise and whole family experienced a hard lurch. Reported issue to jeep service as perhaps related to issue with downshifting to first. Response was that this was normal. Seatbelts: when a person weighing more than 230lbs sits in the front seats, the seat belt warning sound dings as if the belt is not engaged. The dealership replaced sensors in both front seats. Problem resolved.
