| 2011 | ENGINE | MY 2011 JEEP PATRIOT (LIMITED, TRAIL RATED) SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 70-75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR HAD BEEN TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE/HIGHWAY FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, WITH NO STOPS OR PROBLEMS. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IN THE PASSING LANE, NOTICED THAT THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DESPITE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. HE MANAGED TO MERGE THROUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE ENGINE HAD COMPLETELY DIED BEFORE HE CAME TO A STOP. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. NO SPUTTERING OR SHUDDERING OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE CAR HAD OVERHEATED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ANYTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW. HE DID HAVE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE AT THE TIME. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AS IT WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER THE INCIDENT. (HE TRIED TO RESTART SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE 30-45 MINUTES IT TOOK FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE, IT WOULD TRY TO START (IT WOULD TURN OVER?) BUT WOULD NOT ACTUALLY START) ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE NOTED TWICE THE CAR TOOK SLIGHTLY LONGER TO START AFTER SITTING IN THE SUN ALL DAY, BUT THIS IS REALLY A NON "ISSUE" SINCE IT HAS ALWAYS STARTED. IT JUST TOOK MAYBE .5 SECONDS LONGER THAN NORMAL ON TWO OCCASIONS. I DO NOT KNOW IF THE START TIME IS RELATED, AT ALL, TO THIS STALLING INCIDENT. THIS CAR IS LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD, AND HAS ALMOST 18,000 MILES ON IT. THIS EVENT COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THANKFULLY, THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE CAR WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURRED. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE TOMORROW. *TR |
| 2012 | POWER TRAIN | THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT THAT I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS VERY SIMILAR. THIS TIME I WAS COMING BACK FROM ARIZONA INTO CALIFORNIA AND I WAS ON THE 15 SOUTH BETWEEN BARSTOW AND VICTORVILLE. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS PREVIOUSLY, BUT HAD BEEN CANCELLED AND I HAD TRAVELED APPR. 10 MILES AFTER CANCELING IT. WITHOUT WARNING THE THROTTLE REVVED AND BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. THE CAR STALLED AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I PULLED OVER TO THE LEFT SHOULDER. THE FUEL GAUGE READ HALFWAY BETWEEN 1/4 AND 1/2. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER IN VICTORVILLE. WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN OFF THE TOW TRUCK, I WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN. I DROVE HOME THE REST OF THE WAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS AFTER THIS INCIDENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN AT ALL SINCE THE INCIDENT. THE DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AND CONCLUDED THE ISSUE WAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING DUE TO MUD. I WAS ADVISED THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF IF IT GOT TOO HOT WITH LITTLE TO NO WARNING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE NOT OBSERVED ANY WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD BEFORE THE ENGINE CUTS OFF. *TR |
