When the ABS wheel sensor detaches from it's mounting point on the transaxle (i.e. from rust) but is still in proximity to the tone wheel, the intermittent signals sent to the ABS system causes unpredictable, uncontrolled application of the brakes while driving. This could very likely cause an accident as the car will brake without the brake lights illuminating resulting in a following vehicle crashing into the car. Also, unexpected braking could easily cause loss of control of the vehicle. There were yellow (not red) warning lights on the instrument cluster indicating that there was a problem with the ABS/Anti-skid / 4WD drive system. The warning lights appeared several days before the braking behavior was observed.

On jun 1 2022, my ABS light came on , then the brakes came on without me applying them several times, I called the dealer sawyer motors ,and the service manager. Said this has happened before with this model to other customers. I am a certified mechanic also so I pulled the fuses for the ABS system so the brakes will not come on without me applying them . That stopped the problem but now I have no cruize control, speedometer, or back up lights. I checked the rear right wheel bearing hub and the speed sensor had come out of a weak poorly designed thin holding clamp on the rear wheel hub. Most cars have a more secure way of holding this sensor to the rear hub not a thin sheet metal clip which rusts away and the sensor just falls out....! Causing all these problems and the safety issue.. Now the whole hub has to be replaced at several hundred dollars cost.

The speed sensors in the rear wheel hubs are held on with a thin wire clip. This rusts away very quickly and the sensor falls out. Then the brakes can be applied without the driver touching the brakes . This is very dangerous and almost caused an accident in my car and the dealer says there is no recall yet, but there should be..!

I bought my 2015 jeep patriot on july 4, 2020. Every since I've had my truck, there has been problems. I have taken my truck to 4 mechanics and they can't seem to find a problem. Also the dealership that I got the truck from has not even tried to contact me back about them fixing it for me. I'm stuck with a vehicle that doesn't work at this point.

Statrting on 23. May, 2018 my vehicle started randomly dying while driving. This is a complete loss of propulsion, the rpms drop to zero and the car completely stops running. The only way to get the vehicle moving again when it does start is to completely stop, place the vehicle in park and start the vehicle again. The vehicle has no preference or indication of when it is going to do this, so far it has died while pulling into traffic, driving down the freeway at 60 miles an hour, turning into a parking stall in a busy mall parking, while climbing hills and while going down hills. This information was given to fca along with the mileage which is roughly 37800 miles. I have been directed to pay out of my own pocket for diagnostics for this vehicle even though you may search jeep patriot forums.com off of chrysler website and you can find a list of similar complaints dating back as far as 2010 when chrysler recalled nearly half a million vehicles for a very similar issue

When driving at highway speeds going 60mph the vehicle jerks and the engine shuts off and stalls. Called in to my local service dealer and they advised me there is no recalls on my vehicle.
