2014 Jeep Patriot: engine failure

Filed Oct 2, 2024 · Acceleration, Engine · NY

My jeep would suddenly jerk forward almost rear ending people at red lights without any warning. While traveling at approximately 45 mph the engine light came on my jeep. As I went to pull over the engine started bucking/jerking then the engine light flashed. I was barely able to pull over on the side of the road before the car completely stalled. I had to have towed to a dealership as it was no longer drivable. I was almost on the highway. The dealership said I had total engine failure and should buy a new car. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. I ASSOCIATE THE FAILURE WITH the federal safety agency CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V552000 (ENGINE) That has been open since of 11/2013. But my vehicles VIN “wasn’t included”. I was driving with my four small kids in my jeep.

Engine started to overheat after a weekend drive. Warning light came on as we were parking. Took it in to get coolant temperature sensor replaced, coolant flush, and thermostats replaced. Come to find out the head gasket blew and damaged the piston rings. I need a new engine! There was no warning of high engine temperatures until 5 seconds before we parked! Car was always maintained. The engine had 79,000 miles.

Was driving on I 95 south and the engine just starter to hesitate and quit for no reason. Took car to chrisler dodge dealer and they are saying the engine needs to be replaced and chrisler will not honor the warranty because they said there was no records of oil changes. November 6, 2013 the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v552000 loss of oil pressure may result in engine stall I asked about this issue that was identified, but they are telling me that the issue had to be speciffically identified to the VIN number. But not to worry, chrisler can sell me a new engine for $6,900. They keep saying the parts for the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v668000 manufacturer chrysler (fca us llc) components seat belts, air bags still are not available. I am sure for $2,000 or so, chrisler may be able to get them case by case. Frustrated!

In august 2016 driving along and the car stalled and the engine light and electrical light and my 4 wheel drive light came on. The four wheel drive stayed on as well and the car sputtered then stopped. Would not go. Had it towed to a mechanic and he said the electronic body throttle needed replaced. Ridiculous,I contacted the dealership but didn't hear back so I had it fixed and replaced. Monday decemeber 12th while driving home from work at 45 miles an hour my jeep stalled and then completely died on the road. I managed to get it off the road at a coast. Had it towed again and the mechanic said I need a new engine. This is what happened the mechanic said "due to abrasive debris in the balance shaft bearings, these engines may have a loss of engine oil pressure, possibly resulting in an engine stall or engine failure," said the federal safety agency in its summary of the problem. "if the engine stalls while driving, it may increase the risk of a crash." the same as the recall,I called the dealership and they said my warranty expired and my jeep was not on the recall. Just because it wasn't on the list does not mean there could not be the same problem. My jeep did the same thing twice while driving,stalled and then died.
