2009 Jeep Patriot electrical system problems

“The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that the anti-theft warning light would illuminate and the vehicle would fail to start up. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was parked and remained at the residence unrepaired. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer had been made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.”

“Unknown the Jeep Patriot 2009 was purchased from DND auto in Belvidere NJ 07823. Failed inspection ABS U0416 codes pop up which the brake system. ESP U1110, PAS U1120. This vehicle under has stalled and brake system failed. Alternator also is not working properly. Odometer does not work properly.”

“VEHICLE OVERHEATS IN HOT WEATHER WHEN DRIVING FOR GREATER THAN 30 MINUTES. IT IS NOT THE RADIATOR BUT THE TRANSMISSION WHICH OVERHEATS AS INDICATED FROM THE WARNING LIGHT. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND BECOMES INOPERABLE UNTIL IT IS ALLOWED TO COOL. THIS LEADS TO THE CAR DYING ON THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY OR WHEREVER YOU HAPPEN TO BE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WHICH JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS.”

“THE VEHICLE HABITUALLY WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO GETTING IT FUELED UP. I CANNOT GET ANY SUPPORT FROM THE DEALER REGARDING THE ISSUE, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WHEN LOOKING ON VARIOUS JEEP PATRIOT FORUMS.”

“THE ENGINE LOSSES POWER FEELS LIKE ITS GONNA BREAK DOWN WENT THRU 2 ALTERNATORS AND 3 BATTERY'S IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS DRAWLING THE ELECTRICAL POWER AWAY WHEN ACCELERATING OR USING HEADLIGHTS OR TURN SIGNALS”
