2015 Jeep Patriot electronic stability control (esc) problems

“DURING DRIVING, THE CAR STALLS OUT, RPM GOES TO ZERO AND IT FLUCTUATES RANDOMLY EVEN DURING HIGHER SPEEDS ON HIGHWAYS AND STREETS. THIS RISKS AN AUTO ACCIDENT DUE TO LOSING POWER AT SPEEDS OF UP TO 70 MPH.”

“DRIVING ON A CITY STREET GOING 45MPH WHEN RANDOMLY CAR ACCELERATION JUST DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH. CAN'T ACCELERATE CAR FEELS LIKE IS BARELY GOT ANY ACCELERATION POWER. ESC AND ETC LIGHTS TURN ON.”

“VEHICLE STALLED AND LURCHED UPON ACCERALING FROM A TRAFFIC RED LIGHT. THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE LIGHT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD. PURCHASED WITH LOAN FOUR DAYS AGO. INITIALLY SAME THING OCCURRED WITH HIGH RPM AS WELL. NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AT FIRST. FIFTH DAY OF DRIVING THIS REVEALED THE WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD. DEALER INDICATED RECALL FIXED PRIOR TO SALE. VEHICLE WARNING LIGHT STILL APPEARS. RPMS TOO HIGH ON ACCELERATION. REPAIR SHOP INDICATED THE RECALL DID NOT FIX ISSUE AND NEEDS TO HAVE JEEP DEALER CHECK IT.”

“I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND MY JEEP STARTED TO JERK ALL OF A SUDDEN. I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING IN MAY AND THE LAST TIME IS HAPPENED WAS JUNE 22 2020. JEEP NEEDS TO PUT OUT A RECALL ASAP! *TR”

“THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STARTED DROPPING TO 0 RPM DURING DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND SITUATIONS (SOME 30MPH, SOME 60MPH, SOME TURNING, SOME GOING STRAIGHT, BUT NEVER STALLED WHILE STOPPED) ON AND OFF FOR A WEEK WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR FAULT CODES PRESENT. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 8 MONTHS PREGNANT GOING 65MPH THE JEEP STALLED OUT AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT SHOWED UP AS A CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAULT, WE REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AND NOW IT IS STUCK IN TIP START MODE AND WILL NOT START! THIS IS THE 3RD BRAND SENSOR THAT HAS BEEN TRIED. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2016 RECALL ISSUE (SAFETY RECALL S89 / NHTSA 16V-907 CRANKSHAFT CAMSHAFT SENSOR WIRE HARNESS) THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS SAFETY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2015 JEEP PATRIOT HAVING REOCCURRING SIMILAR ISSUES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS IS A 1 OWNER PURCHASED BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN CARED FOR PROPERLY AND HAS HAD MORE ISSUES THAN A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD. STALLING OUT AT 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHILE 8 MONTHS PREGNANT COULD OF KILLED ME AND MY UNBORN CHILD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.”

“MY CAR WAS IN MOTION AND I LOST POWER WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. I GOT THE CAR TOWED AND WHEN IT ARRIVED AT THE MECHANIC IT STARTED BACK UP JUST FINE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AS NO ERROR MESSAGE WAS ON MY DASHBOARD, THEREFORE THEIR DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL. THE MECHANIC KEPT MY CAR FOR A WHILE AND IT FINALLY GAVE OUT ON THEM AGAIN AND THEY DISCOVERED BY THROTTLE BODY HAD GONE OUT. I HAD THIS ISSUE IN MAY OF 2017 AND HAD IT FIXED AT A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND LESS THAN 3 YEARS LATER MY CAR HAS THE VERY SAME ISSUE.”
