MY VEHICLE TEND TO JUMP GEARS AND TRANSMISSION IS RUNNING HARD AND WOULD NOT GET UP TO 40 MILES A HOUR.

TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS & VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. FORCED TO PULL OFF THE ROADSIDE TO WAIT UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. ITS HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THERE WAS BARELY ANY SHOULDER ALONG THE HIGHWAY, I THOUGHT MY GRANDDAUGHTER & I WERE GOING TO BE KILLED. IVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MUTLIPLE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASING IT FROM DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HAD NO RESOLVE. ON ONE OCCASION THE JEEP HAD BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A MONTH NOW AND ALL THEY KEPT TELLING ME IS THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. CURRENT SITUATION - LAST MONTH (MARCH) I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THE JEEP OVER 20 MPH. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING THIS AND I CAN'T GET ANYONE TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER IF THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE TRANSMISSION. I AM ANGRY AT THIS POINT. WE'VE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE WE PURCHASED IT NOW I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND I WORK IN HEALTHCARE. I THINK THIS MAY FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW. IT MIGHT BE TIME TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY. PLEASE HELP

I WAS DRIVING APPROX 45 MPH WHEN I HEARD A POPPING NOISE FOLLOWED BY GRINDING NOISE WHILE IN 5TH GEAR. TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT LOOKED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION. I THEN TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO VERIFIED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT. IT WAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR, I ASKED TO TAKE PICTURES SO THAT I COULD TALK TO JEEP ABOUT HAVING A TRANSMISSION FAIL AT 103K MILES. WHILE TAKING PICTURES AND LOOKING AT THE DAMAGED TRANSMISSION, THE MECHANIC SAID " WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT YEAR IS YOUR JEEP?" I TOLD HIM IT WAS A 2014. HE SAID, "LOOK AT THIS STICKER. IT MEANS THAT THIS TRANSMISSION WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2016. SO, YOU ARE ACTUALLY ON YOUR 3RD TRANSMISSION." I WAS ABLE TO TRACK THE TRANSMISSION BY THE PART NUMBER AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS INSTALLED IN JULY 2016. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 51,477 MILES. THE ONE THAT JUST CAME OUT FAILED AT 52, 075 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO EXCEED 20 MPH WHILE DRIVING.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO (LARRY H. MILLER DODGE RAM TUCSON 4220 E 22ND ST, TUCSON, AZ 85711 (520) 395-9311) TO BE DIAGNOSED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY CONTROL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATE 80,100. *DT*JB

WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR STREET THE CAR SEEMS THAT WANTS TO STOP AND FEEL THAT IS LOOSING POWER; THAN IT DOES LIKE A JUMPER AND KEEP GOING AND IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE DEALER SEEMS THAT DO NOT FIND ANYTHING. ALSO THE BACK DOOR OF THE CAR KEEP GETTING LOCK AND NOT ABLE TO OPEN

TRAVELING 40 MPH ENGINE MISFIRES CHECK ENGINE, THROTTLE BODY, AND TRACTION WARNING LIGHTS ON. VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. TURN OFF ENGINE RESETS THROTTLE BODY AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON VEHICLE ACCELERATES NORMALLY. CHECK ENGINE CODE = U0401 INVALID DATA RECEIVED FROM ENGINE CONTROL MODULE/POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE A. 84,000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. AFTER CONTINUED DRIVING FOR TEN MINUTES THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GARY MILLER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM 5746 PEACH ST, ERIE, PA 16509 (814) 868-3635 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A TRANSMISSION FLUSH WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 49,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING AT APPROX. 40 MPH, DASH LIGHTS CAME ON PWOER TRAIN SKID WARNING, 4WD, LIGHTNING ICON POWER DROPPED UNABLE TO GO MORE THAN 20 MPH EXTREMELY UNSAFE

WHILE RUNNING (CITY OR HIGHWAY) VEHICLE STALLS WHEN POWER REQUEST BY ACCELERATION. SEEMS LIKE A ROUGH NOISE WHEN AUTOMATIC SHIFT CHANGE, LOSING THE POWER.

THE PARTRIOT RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE TRAVELLING AT ANY SPEED. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND CAR HAS TO COAST TO A STOP. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HAVE NO CLUE AS TO HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE FOR MANY JEEP OWNERS, NOT JUST PATRIOTS. JEEP / CHRYSLER HAS A MAJOR ISSUE AND WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR ADDRESS IT. IF THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING, THEY SHOULD BE PREPARED TO PAY FOR THEIR LACK OF ADDRESSING THIS CRITICAL ISSUE. IT TAKES LESS THAN A MINUTE TO SEARCH AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED WITH ENGINE STALLING ISSUES WITH JEEP AUTOMOBILES. I HOPE THE NHTSA WILL CONDUCT A THOROUGH REVIEW OF THESE ISSUES AND FORCE MORE ATTENTION TO BE GIVEN TO THE SERIOUS ISSUE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER AND NOW WE CAN'T LET HER DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. WE HAVE SPENT OVER $2K TRYING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR OTHER ASSISTANCE THAT JEEP CAN OR WILL OFFER.

DAUGHTER CALLED IN PANIC, JEEP WAS UNABLE TO ACCEPT FUEL WHILE PUMPING. I ADVISED HER TO TRY ANOTHER PUMP, STILL SAME PROBLEM. TOOK ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO GET 5 GALLONS OF FUEL IN JEEP FOR HER TO MAKE IT HOME. TOOK JEEP TO DEALERSHIP AND STATED THAT A SHUT OFF VALVE IN TANK HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ($1500 PARTS AND LABOR) AND DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM...WAIT WHAT, A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS? LESS THAN 50K MILES AND NEEDS A NEW TANK... DEALERSHIP SAID NOT A SAFETY ISSUE??? BEING STUCK ON I95 AT NIGHT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET GAS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE.

THE ENGINE STALLS SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING. IT ALSO HAS LOW OIL ENGINE PRESSURE. MY CAR MAKE AND MODEL WAS RECALLED, HOWEVER, MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I AM EXPERIENCING THE ISSUES RELATED TO THE RECALL.

DURING A ROAD TRIP, I WENT TO GAS UP MY JEEP AND THE PUMP WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PUT GAS IN THE CAR. I WAS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT STRANDED WITH NO GAS. I LATER WHEN TO SEVERAL OTHER GAS STATIONS SAME ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CURLER NECK WHICH WAS $180, WHEN THEY INSTALLED IT, THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE AS WELL. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY MENTIONED IT COULD BE THE FUEL TANK WHICH WAS $1200 OR THE EVAP SYSTEM WHICH IS $900 BUT THEY WEREN'T ENTIRELY SURE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS EITHER. I AM CURRENTLY USING A GAS CAN BUT THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE BECAUSE NOW IT WILL ONLY ALLOW ME TO PUT SMALL AMOUNT OF GAS EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY.

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN HOME WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MY "LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT" CAME ON AND MY "FISH TAIL" LIGHT CAME ON THEN MY ENGINE STALLED IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT ON A BUSY ROAD. BUT I NORMALLY AM DRIVING THE INTERSTATE FOR WORK. (I WORK WITH PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, INCLUDING HAVING THEM IN MY VEHICLE.) THE CODE IS LETTING ME KNOW THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL IS BAD. I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND 2014 JEEP PATRIOTS HAVE THIS RECALL. BUT MY VIN SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT. THEREFORE I'M NOT SURE IF A DEALERSHIP WILL COVER IT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DEVASTATING ACCIDENT IF WE HAD BEEN ON A BUSY ROAD.

ANYTIME I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT JERKS AND SHUDDERS. SO I'LL BE IN TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY OR AT A LIGHT AND ONCE I START GOING THE JEEP WILL BE JUMPY AND NOT ACCELERATE. IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S ALMOST EVERY STOP AND I FEEL LIKE EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE WILL JUST STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A LIGHT. WHICH IS DEFINITELY IS A CONCERN BECAUSE I DRIVE WITH A 4 YEAR OLD MOST OF THE TIME. NO ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON SO THAT'S ALSO A CONCERN WHEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT'S NOT OKAY.

MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT VEHICLE STARTED TO LOOSE ENGINE POWER REALLY FAST AND STARTED TO JERK AND SLOW DOWN ON IT'S OWN BARELY ANY POWER. TWO DASH TROUBLE LIGHTS CAME ON. A ENGINE TROUBLE LIGHT AND A LIGHTING BOLT TROUBLE LIGHT BOTH CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY BARELY PULLED THE CAR INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT CLOSE BY. HAD I BEEN ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING A HIGHER SPEED AREA THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS ! I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR AFTER WAITING AND LUCKILY THERE WAS AN AUTO PARTS STORE NEARBY. UPON CHECKING THE DASH LIGHTS WITH THEIR COMPUTER UNIT IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS A FAILED THROTTLE CONTROL UNIT . AFTER IT WAS CHECKED A DAY LATER AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER IT WAS DETERMINED THE THROTTLE UNIT DID FAIL. SINCE I ONLY HAD 20K MILES BUT BEYOND THE 3 YEAR LIMIT WARRANTY THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A JEEP SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PART BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN MODIFIED FROM THE ORIGINAL. DUE TO THE MODIFICATION I HAD TO ALSO PURCHASE A NEW WIRE HARNESS EVEN THOUGH THE OLDER ONE WAS PROBABLY FINE BUT WOULDN'T FIT THE NEWER MODIFIED REPLACEMENT THROTTLE UNIT. WHEN THIS THROTTLE UNIT FAILS YOUR VEHICLE GETS NO GAS SO IT ALMOST SHUTS DOWN IMMEDIATELY ! IN CONFIDENCE I WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL DEALER MAINTENANCE PEOPLE THIS ISN'T A RARE PROBLEM, BUT THE CHRYSLERS JEEP CO. REFUSED TO ABSORB ANY LIABILITY OR PAYMENT TOWARD THIS REPLACEMENT REPAIR AFTER I CONTACTED THEM . THIS IS STRANGE THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN MODIFIED

OUR 2014 JEEP PATRIOT CAME EQUIPPED WITH FIRESTONE AFFINITY TIRES . AT 19K MILES ALL 4 TIRES WOULD NOT PASS PA. INSPECTION AND NEEDED REPLACED. THESE TIRES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD TO ANYONE WITHOUT CONSTANT INSPECTIONS OF TREADS. EVEN FOLLOWING PROPER ROTATIONS AND AIR INFLATION REGULATIONS THEY WERE SHOT ! TOTAL JUNK AND VERY UNSAFE TIRES ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN WINTERY STATES. I REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND OF SAFER TIRES....NEVER AGAIN WILL I TRUST FIRESTONE TIRES!

WHEN DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOIT SPORT IT SUDDENLY KINDA JERKS AND WANTS TO STALL LIKE ITS CHOKING. OR NOT GETTING GAS. THIS HAPPENS ON REGULAR ROADS, AND HIGHWAYS. ESPECIALLY AFTER TURNING EVEN SLIGHTLY. EVERYTHING I HAVE READ SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS PERTAINING TO THIS. BUT WHEN I LOOK UP MY VIN. IT SAYS MY CAR HAS NO OPEN RECALLS. COULD IT BE THAT IT WAS RECALLED AND FIXED INCORRECTLY? OR HAVE U JUST NOT RECALLED MY JEEP YET? IT'S PRETTY SCARY AND ALL THE MECHANICS WHO LOOK AT IT, SAY THEY CAN'T DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS BECAUSE NOTHING POPS UP WHEN THEY HOOK IT TO DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. IT IS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE. I LOVE MY CAR. BUT LATELY I FEEL NERVOUS DRIVING IT. FOR FEAR IT WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER WHILE ON BUSY HIGHWAY. SO I AVOID THEM AT ALL COST. WILL TRY TO INVEST MORE MONEY TO TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM AFTER TAX TIME, BUT THIS IS AN ISSUE I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFOR. I WROTE A DATE THIS HAPPENED IN THE DATE FIELD BECAUSE IT WAS REQUIRED. BUT IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE. AT ANY SPEED.

HAVING ISSUES WITH JEEP STALLS WHEN DRIVING. HAS COUPLE RECALLS TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS. DEALER SAID IT WAS FIXED AND STILL HAVE SAME ISSUE.

THE HORN STOPPED WORKING ON THIS CAR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AGO. I LOOKED FOR A FUSE OR RELAY AND DISCOVERED ON THE WEB THAT THIS WAS A COMMON CHRYSLER PROBLEM ACROSS ALL PRODUCTS. I REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING WHICH APPEARED TO BE IDENTIFIED AS MOST PROBABLE PROBLEM ON THE WEB; NOT SO. TWO MONTHS AGO I WENT TO THE DEALER AND SAID FOR $150 THEY WOULD IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE HORN ITSELF WORKED, WHICH I TESTED. I TOOK THE STEERING WHEEL APART ONCE AGAIN AND TRACED THE TWO OPERATIONAL HORN WIRES BACK TO THE THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED CRUISE CONTROL MODULE. FOR GRINS I WENT TO THE LOCAL SERVICE YARD AND OBTAINED SAID MODULE. REPLACED THE MODULE AND NOW THE HORN WORKS. FIRST, WHY WOULD THE HORN CIRCUIT BE SO CONVOLUTED SINCE A RELAY AND FUSE WAS THE NORM SINCE THE 1940'S. SECOND, FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, THE COMMON ITEMS NEEDED TO BE WORKING IN A CAR ARE HORN, LIGHTS, BRAKES; THESE ARE COMMON MINIMUM INSPECTION ITEMS. CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE GOOD AND REPAIR/ REPLACE CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS MAJOR FAILURE COULD HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES BECAUSE THE MINDSET OF MOST BACKYARD MECHANICS IS THAT THEY CAN FIX IT AND MANY HAVE CONCEDED FAILURE AND HAVE PUT A HORN BUTTON ON THE DASH AND WIRED TO A BETTER HORN , FUSE AND RELAY. CHECK THE WEB AND YOU CAN SEE THE MULTITUDE OF TRAFFIC ON THE CHRYSLER HORN PROBLEMS. I TRIED TO GET WIRING DIAGRAMS FOR THIS CAR WHICH COST $100 BUT I STOPPED WHEN I FOUND THAT THEY WERE NOT COMPLETE. I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER LIKE PROBABLY ALL MANUFACTURERS HAVE LET THE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, MALFUNCTION, AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO ACTIVE RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO CALL NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,550.

VOLTAGE LIGHT COMES ON AND JEEP GOES INTO "LIMP MODE", BASICALLY LOSES ALL POWER. COSTING $1000.00 PLUS 2 TOWING FEES TO GET FIXED. ONLY 85,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH, I'VE FOUND THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

THE HOUSING THAT HOLDS THE SEATBELT TO THE SIDE OF THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HAS COME LOOSE. THERE APPEARS TO BE A BOLT MISSING AND SOME PLASTIC HAS BROKEN OFF. THIS IS CAUSING THE HOUSING TO NOT BE SECURED TO THE SEAT.

DRIVER SIDE HEAD REST POP OPEN VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE!

WHILE DRIVING THE ESC CAME ON REDUCING MY ABILITY TO DRIVE AT NORMAL SPEEDS I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 15 - 20 MPH TO GET JEEP BACK HOME...I BOUGHT THIS USED JEEP PATRIOT 9 MONTHS AGO...WHY KEEP MAKING CAR PAYMENTS ON IT?. NO RECALL FOR THIS AS OTHERS HAVE HAD SAME ISSUE IN THEIR JEEP PATRIOTS...I HAD A BABY IN JEEP TOO...I MIGHT AS WELL LET BANK TAKE IT BACK AS I DON'T HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY OR MONEY FOR REPAIRS...

I HAVE A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT SPORT 2.0L 4CYL WUTH A CVT TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT IT USED CERTIFIED IN FEB 2018. ABOUT A MONTH INTO OWNING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO BUCK AND JERK. THE CAR SHAKES WHILE ON IDLE AND THERE IS A LOUD HELICOPTER SOUND COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR. I TOOK TO TO 3 DIFFERENT JEEP DEALER AND NOBODY COULD TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS HAPPENED AS I TURNED ON MY STREET TO GO HOME. I HAD TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND IT TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FIRING ANY CODES NOR WAS THERE ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPEND ON AUGUST 18, 2019 DRVING HOME FROM A CAMPING TRIP. I HAD 2 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WITH ME.THE CAR BUCKS AND JERKS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLS WHILE IM DRVING THE SPEED LIMIT AT 60 MPH. THANKFULLY I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT. AFTER BEING ALL SHAKEN UP, AGAIN I HAD WAITIED A FEW MINUTES AND CAR STARTED AND DROVE AS IF NOTING HAPPEND. IT WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST THINGS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO LOCAL MECHANICS AND THEY DINT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH IT. SO I AM CURRENTLY DRVING MY CAR AND WONDERING WHEN THE CAR WILL STALL AGAIN. IT STILL BUCKS AND JERKS, FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL SO I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDDLE AND THAT SEEMS TO HELP. I NO LONGER DRIVE THIS CAR ON THE HIGH

TAKATA RECALL: AS YOU DRIVE THIS VEHICLE THE ENGINE WILL SLIGHTLY STALL OUT AND HICCUP. ALSO CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO JITTER SLIGHTLY BUT NOTICEABLY SO. IT DOES IT WHETHER ITS HOT, COLD REGARDLESS. I FEEL AS IF THIS VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE ENGINE RECALL BECAUSE IT DOES STALL AND STUTTER WHILE DRIVING.

MANY, MANY TIMES THIS JEEP HAS OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING UP STEEP GRADES AND ALL POWER SHUTS DOWN THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPS.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND PARKING LOT VEHICLE STARTED TO RUN EXTREMELY ROUGH ALMOST TO THE POINT OF STALLING. BECAME VERY HARD TO DRIVE INCLUDING LOOSING STEARING AND BRAKE FUNCTION CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOOSE CONTROL AND COMING TO A STOP INTO A BUSH. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON ON THE DASH AT THE TIME, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ELECTRIC SYMBOL. DEALER STATED THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS A COMMON REPAIR THEY HAD SEEN MANY TIMES. WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WHICH LEFT ME WITH A $1000 REPAIR BILL. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. CALLED UP JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WERE COMPLETELY UNWILLING TO COVER ANY COSTS OF THE REPAIR OR ADMIT THERE WAS ANY ISSUE. THANKFULLY THIS ISSUE DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT.

WIFE AND DAUGHTER WAS IN A 8CAR ACCIDENT AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF HIT FROM THE BACK AND PUSHED INTO OTHER CARS AND NONE OF AIRBAGS WENT OFF .BOTH OF THEM WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND WE SPENT ALL DAY IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

CAR LOOSE ACELERATION ,STALL AND A LIGTH CAME ON IN DASH BOARD ON A CITY ST

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY THE RPM'S WILL DROP DOWN TO 0 AND WITHIN 1-3 SECONDS IT POPS BACK UP TO NORMAL RANGE. SOMETIMES IT KILLS WHILE DRIVING. UNKNOWN REASON. HAVE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COILS HOPING TO FIND THE CAUSE.

THROTTLE TRACK AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND OFF. CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE NO MORE THAN 30 RPM WHEN IT HAPPENS IT MAY ALSO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WHEN FOOT ON BREAK .

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT BEGAN TO GO OFF. RPMS WERE RUNNING HIGHER THAN NORMAL. AFTER THE SENSOR TRIGGERED TWICE, NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN RMPS RUNNING HIGH. 5 DAYS AFTER THE INITIAL WARNING LIGHT, UPON STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND RESUMING ACCELERATION, CHECK ENGINE CAME ON, THEN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, THEN TRACTION CONTROL. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE CAR HAD TO DECELERATE OR STOP AND THE RPMS DROPPED BELOW 1. AT ONE POINT, IT STALLED. I HAD TO PULL OVER, STOP THE CAR AND RESTART IT. IF YOU WERE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH CONTINUOUS GAS THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSTIC REPAIR IS THE THROTTLE BODY HOUSING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

AFTER BEING PARKED FOR THREE OR FOUR DAYS, I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND HEADREST FELT WRONG. WAS NOT DRIVING YET. JUST SITTING IN SEAT. A QUICK INSPECTION SHOWED THAT THE DRIVER'S HEADREST HAD SPONTANEOUSLY ACTIVATED WHILE PARKED, LEAVING IT SPLIT IN TWO PIECES. THE VEHICLE, OF COURSE, IS FIVE YEARS AND ONE MONTH OLD, SO OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS WILL BE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR OF THIS MANDATORY SAFETY EQUIPMENT THAT IS DEFECTIVE. ALSO DANGEROUS IF IT HAD DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING IN SEAT. SHOULDN'T THIS BE SUBJECT TO AN INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLE RECALL?

I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY THROTTLE BODY UNIT ON THIS CAR AT 75,000 MILES. THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. 3 LIGHTS CAME ON: THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR (CHECK ENGINE), AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. MY CAR COULD NOT SURPASS 30 MPH WHICH WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR WAS JERKY AND WOULD JERK FORWARD EVEN WHEN BRAKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING/KNOWN ISSUE. I BELIEVE A RECALL OF THIS SPECIFIC PART IS NEEDED.
