Key takeaways from the information you’ve provided: 1.Your engine’s RPM drops to zero randomly while driving and idling. 2.The engine loses power, accompanied by the traction control light flashing. 3.Power steering is lost within 10 seconds after the power loss. 4.Transmission range sensor (NSS) was replaced, but there might be an adjustment issue. 5.Shifting from reverse to neutral is difficult, while shifting from drive to neutral is fine. 6.Taillights don’t change during difficulty shifting down from reverse. 7.A code reader showed an ABS code: c1221 after the NSS replacement. 8.The negative terminal clamp may need replacement. 9.Engine issues might be related to temperature or transmission shifts.

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.

70k miles it started stalling while I was driving, mainly in city going 25-45mph. The 1st time I had have it jumpstarted. 2nd and 3rd time I was not able to jumpstart. Took it to the dealership, they said the code for the ABS module came up so they replaced it. The repair cost $550 and I drove it 3 days and the car died again while going through a stoplight, they traction control light came on. Had to have it towed. They said the connection wire was bad to the new ABS module they replaced so they replaced the connector. I drove it a week, the rpms dropped out and engine stalled while going 70mph. Same thing happen a week later while acclerating on an on ramp. Now its 3 days after the last time it died and it has stalled on me 3 times in one day, and I have to wait 2-3 mins with the engine shut off then I am able to restart it. This car is not reliable, I have no warning of when it will shut off or if I will be stranded and have to have it towed. Its scary going down the highway at 70mph and the engine dies!!!

While driving on highway and city streets, car has completely shut down without warning or warning lights, no engine, no power steering no electrical anything. This is a death trap and serious bodily harm waiting to happen. Highly dangerous, especially on highway. This has happened at least 8 times and has been into the jeep dealer 4 times to get fixed, to no avail. It keeps happening and is now back at the dealer. Last time, they replaced ABS module and bled system. Still didn't work. Lots of complaints of this online over many years. Date it happened is first time, but it is now in shop for the 4th time. 2016 jeep patriots were recalled for this very problem, but no other year. Why?!!!
