2013 Jeep Patriot Driver assistance Problems

I HAVE A 2013 JEEP PATRIOT AND THE ENGINE AND TEMPERATURE LIGHT COMES ON; ON TOP ON THAT IT STARTS TO DECREASE IN SPEED SLOWING DOWN OUT OF NOWHERE I JUST STARTED FINANCING THIS VEHICLE AND READ REVIEWS THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ON REPEAT SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY ON TRYING TO REPAIR THE SAME ISSUES. IT'S DEFINITELY A HAZARD THAT IS NOT A SOLID FIX. HOPEFULLY ME REACHING OUT CAN HELP MY PROBLEM AND OTHERS. I AM USING THIS VEHICLE FOR WORK SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT IT'S SAFE AND SECURES MY FINANCES AS WELL. *TR

THIS VEHICLE DIES CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. DOESNT MATTER THE SPEED, 5MPH OR 75MPH, IT WILL DIE OUT OF NO WHERE. ITS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY ACCIDENTS THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED. IT APPARENTLY IS A KNOWN AND FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THESE SUV'S THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED! I'VE HAD DIFFERENT CODES COME UP AT DIFFERENT TIMES. FROM CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR TO O2 SENSOR TO THROTTLE BODY TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE FUEL MILEAGE IS SUDDENLY TERRIBLE OUT OF NO WHERE AS WELL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. EVERYWHERE I'VE READ ABOUT PEOPLE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP JUST COMES OUT WORSE SO I'M TERRIFIED TO TAKE IT TO JEEP THEMSELVES!

SINCE I BOUGHT CAR IN FEBRUARY OF 2018, IMMENSELY THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR ENDED AND TIE RODS. I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED HOW LOOSE THE STEERING IS AND IF I DRIVE IN A GROOVE IN ROAD THE CAR WOULD AUTOMATICALLY GO INTO THAT GROOVE. I ALSO NOTICE GOING UP A HILL THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD BE SET BUT CAR WOULD SLOW DOWN AND NOT GO UP IN ELEVATION VERY WELL. NOW THE JEEP IS CHUGGING SEVERELY WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP AND PLACE GAS TO GO AGAIN. IT ACTS LIKE FUEL SYSTEM IS MESSING UP AND/OR CONTINUOUS TRANSMISSION IS MESSED UP. ALSO THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SEATS DO NOT HEAT AND MANUFACTURED SEAT CLIPS ALL BROKE SIMPLY BY GETTING OUT OF VEHICLE NORMALLY. THE PASSENGER SEATBELT ALSO LOCKS NO MATTER HOW OR SLOW YOU PULL IT AND LOCK IT IN. THE PASSENGER SEAT IS WAY HIGHER AND UNABLE TO ADJUST HEIGHT ETC.. I AM MORE CONCERNED ABOUT POWER AND SLUGGING FROM STOP POSITION AND CRUISE ON HILLS.

I RECEIVE A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ABOUT MY JEEP IN OCTOBER 2016. I'VE BEEN CHECKING FREQUENTLY AND FOUND THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE! THIS IS MY FAMILY VEHICLE AND I'M SCARED TO DEATH TO PUT AND FAMILY MEMBERS, ESPECIALLY MY TODDLER! THE RECALL EXPLAINS THAT MY VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE LOSS OF AIRBAG AND SEATBELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITIES IN CERTAIN CRASH EVENTS...AND SO FORTH. NO ONE HAS YET FIXED THE ISSUE OR OFFERED SOME TYPE OF SOLUTION! WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP, PARTS WILL NOT EVEN BECOME AVAILABLE... EVER! REPLACE MY JEEP!!!! PLEASE CALL ME ASAP!!!

CAR DECELERATES WHILE DRIVING ALMOST STALLING AT TIMES, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY STATE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT I DON'T THINK THEY TRIED SINCE THEY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS FOR DIAGNOSTICS/TESTING DRIVING AND DROVE LESS THAN 10 MILES. VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE. THIS IS THE 2ND PATRIOT I HAVE OWNED AND WILL BE MY LAST. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT 75 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL ON I-27 JUST SOUTH OF AMARILLO TX, THE ENGINE OF THE 2013 JEEP PATRIOT SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT AND WAS ABLE TO AVOID OTHER CARS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD TO REQUEST THAT THE CAR BE TOWED TO AMARILLO TX. WAITED 3 HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK AT WHICH TIME THE CAR STARTED. HOWEVER, UNSURE IF THE INCIDENT WOULD OCCUR AGAIN, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO AMARILLO. THERE A TECHNICIAN SAID THAT HE DISCOVERED CODES OF P0120 AND P2135. HE SAID IT APPEARED AS IF EVERYTHING RESET AND THAT THERE WAS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE INCIDENT, IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANY TIME. *JS

DRIVING ABOUT 35MPH. WENT OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND CAR ACCELERATED A BIT WITHOUT TOUCHING GAS PEDAL BAND BRAKES WENT OUT FOR A SECOND. ON SUBSEQUENT OCCASIONS, IN COLD WEATHER BRAKES GET STUCK AND BARELY WORK FOR FIRST COUPLE OF USES. I'VE SEEN AT LEAST ONE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE AND FEEL THAT THIS VEHICLE ENDANGERS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. *TR

AS MY WIFE WAS PULLING INTO OUR DRIVEWAY AND BRAKING TO PARK THE CAR, THE ENGINE SPED UP AND ALL 4 WHEELS WERE SPINNING EXTREMELY FAST CAUSING HER TO THRUST FORWARD. SHE WAS NOT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE MODE AT THE TIME. SHE STEPPED ON THE BRAKES HARDER TO SEE IF SHE COULD STOP THE VEHICLE BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO INCREASE SPEED AND LUNGED OUT OF CONTROL .THE ONLY WAY SHE THOUGHT SHE COULD STOP THE WHEELS FROM SPINNING WAS TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK. EVEN THOUGH SHE PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THE WHEELS CONTINUED TO SPIN AND THE ONLY REASON THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING FORWARD WAS BECAUSE SHE HIT A TREE. THE WHEELS CONTINUED TO SPIN AFTER SHE HIT THE TREE AND THE CAR WAS STILL IN PARK AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THEM FROM SPINNING WAS WHEN SHE SHUT DOWN THE IGNITION. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE AND THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THE CONSOLE LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING ON AND OFF AS THIS WAS HAPPENING. MY WIFE HAD CONCERNS WITH THIS BEFORE AS SHE WENT TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE AT OTHER TIMES SHE FELT THE ENGINE SPEED SURGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. *TR
