I purchased my 2011 Jeep Patriot from a car dealership in October of 2020. After a week of having the vehicle, I noticed a loud clunking sound coming from underneath. I took it back to the dealer and was told it was nothing. After taking it to my mechanic, he found major rust and corrosion on the front and rear subframe and crossmembers. I paid $2200 in repairs on the car, only to find out the he only did the front end of the car. The back end is just as bad and the car is unsafe for me to drive. When he did the front end of the car, the pieces fell apart as he began taking it apart. This car was a ticking time bomb. It’s now June of 2021 and I don’t know what to do

Three times our 2011 jeep patriot sounded like something broke then went into limp mode. We were on a busy freeway twice and getting ready to get on once. After calling good sam roadside assistance they sent a tow truck to a mechanic. We had two different mechanics at 2 different times and they could not get any codes on it. A few years back when on a different incident we went into limp mode and ended up replacing the control module which fixed it. This time was different. I was done after three times. We ended up trading it in for a new honda crv. Will never buy another jeep again. We are surprised they never recalled the problem with the control module. I have all receipts and proof

While driving 65 MPH down the highway with my son in the car, the car shuddered, lost all power and the powering steering must have gone as I could only turn the wheel with extreme force enough to coast off the side of the road. Car then cranked but check engine light was on. Drove slowly home. Was taking the very next morning to have service done and it happened again. This is very dangerous as there is no way to notify the cars behind you that you have no power or control. This turned out to be the crank shaft position sensor which I have read is a common issue and the 2016 was recalled for this as a church friend told me about his. I'm wondering with the safety risk involved why only the 2016 has been recalled. My father is a mechanic and he said he has never had a vehicle with this issue.

Hi there, I am experiencing a strange issue, where my patriot will shake/vibrate really bad when in drive and sitting idle (like at a red light with the foot on the brake). If I place it in park, neutral or start driving the heavy vibration goes away.motor mounts ok, I have a problem with the crankshaft sensor before but is been replaced. Anyone else having a similar issue, or have any insight? I have a 2007 jeep patriot limited with about 80k

Takata recall- I am having problems with my electronic throttle control flashing on while I'm driving. It happened intermittently for a few weeks, and now it won't go away. It causes me to lose the ability to shift my vehicle higher than 3rd gear, and I can't accelerate at an appropriate speed. This problem occurs when I start my vehicle more often than not, although it has happened a few times while I was driving. The first time it occurred, I was driving on the freeway, and it caused my vehicle to lose power for acceleration, putting my son and I in a potential situation for a high speed accident.

While driving the vehicle both the electronic stability control and electron throttle control lights come on and I lose acceleration. Have to turn the vehicle off, wait a minute or 2 and restart. Sometimes this will happen 2-6 times during a trip (depending how far I am driving) other times it doesn't happen at all. I can drive car for 2-3 weeks with no problems then all of a sudden these two warning lights come on again. I am afraid to drive on the highway for fear this will happen. This has only occurred while driving on city streets. Sometimes the lights will come on when I start the car. The car will start idling very fast

At idle and while driving, the electronic throttle control (etc) light blinks intermittently and I lose power. After about 4 days of this happening, not only did the etc light come on, but the electronic stability control (ESC) light came on. Then the 4x4 light, airbag lights, and engine light came on. The jeep ran really rough at idle. I took it to a certified jeep dealer to be told that I need the throttle body replaced for $591. The mileage on my jeep is approximately 51,000.
