Was driving the vehicle about 55 miles an hour, when it suddenly lost power. Was able to safely pull over, restart, and continue to my location after a few minutes. When researching the issue it was discovered that the 2016 jeep patriot has a recall with the 'crankshaft or camshaft sensor may only work intermittently, causing the engine to stall. If the engine stalls, there is an increased the risk of a crash.' the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v907000 the dates for that recall are may 9, 2016, to july 15, 2016. The vehicle in question was manufactured in 12/15, which is not included. Called a local dealer, but had no faith that the issue was going to be easily discoverable and or fixed after informing them of the issue. Went to another company who ran a diagnostics service. Immediately finding issues with the camshaft sensor & crankshaft sensor. Had the vehicle repaired and back within two days. Believe the current recall should also include my vehicle manufactured date, because it has the exact same issues.

I was driving on a road into work at no more than 40/45 MPH. My car was at a slight incline when the electronic throttle control light and electronic stability control light came on, and my car powered down to a low level and wouldn't increase its speed. I pulled over to the side of the road, put the car in park and shut it off. I was able to start the car and drive the rest of the way, and the light didn't come back on again.

My car just stopped working in the middle of the highway while driving 55 MPH!!. It just died. Luckily 3 strangers pushed me to safety. It started working soon afterward only to get stuck in the middle of the road again. It was towed to my mechanic and diagnosed that the crankpostition sensor is bad. It is recalled on other 2016 jeep patriots but not covered on this one. It was manufactured before the recall. I hope you will consider including this car under the recall. My daughter was driving the car and she could have been seriously injured. The abrupt stopping of this vehicle on a highway is a serious safety hazard. I am so thankful that she was not injured but it could have been so much worse. We had no idea what was wrong with the car and am upset to know that this faulty sensor caused this to happen. It should be recalled to prevent possible injury to others.

Vehicle throttle control lights comes on when car is in motion which will then slow down the vehicle which can cause an accident that you can no longer control the steering wheel. When that light comes one the engine light and traction control lights come on as well. When on the highway car will lose acceleration which again you can't pull over it will just stop. This is very dangerous and can cause death. I have read so many more of the same complaints something needs to be done about this.
