2014 Jeep Patriot complaints

WOW, JUST WOW!! ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. MINE IS AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP GETTING A NEW THROTTLE BODY KIT. (600$$)....I AM NOT SURE IF I EVER WANT TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. LOST POWER AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON IN S CURVES ON A RURAL ROAD...HAD TO CREEP AT 10 MILES AND HOUR HOPING TO GET OFF THE ROAD. NO RECALLS ARE CRAZY CONSIDERING ALL THE COMPLAINTS.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT IT HAS 20,456 MILES. THE LAST SIX MONTH I HAVE HAD REPAIRS ON FUEL TANK, FIRST ONE LAST ABOUT 3 MONTH THE LAST ONE DON IN JULY 2019 LASTED 2 DAYS. I CAN'T FILL MY TANK. IT WILL PUT A LITTLE GAS IN AND THEN CUT OFF. THESE REPAIRS HAVE COST ME 125.OO EA TIME . THIS WOULD BE OK IF IT WORKED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH AIR CONDITION RUNNING. I HEAR AN ELECTRICAL SOUND THAT REMINDS ME OF A REMOTE CONTROL CAR. MY JEEP THEN PROCEEDS TO OVERHEAT AND STALLS WHILE I'M DRIVING . I HAVE TO SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 15-20 MINUTES THEN TRY TO DRIVE AGAIN . THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES MOST RECENTLY MEMORIAL WEEKEND 2019. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG

EVERY SUMMER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR THE CVT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVE 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. SEVERAL TIMES MY VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER AND IM FORCED TO THE ROADSIDE TO WAIT UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. IT HAPPENED TO ME IN CHICAGO ONCE WHERE THERE IS NO SHOULDER TO THE THRUWAY AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE KILLED. IVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD NO RESOLVE. THE CAR HAS CURRENTLY BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND IVE ALSO BEEN DEALING WITH JEEP CUSTOMER CAR AND ALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME IS THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IM LOST AT THIS POINT. I THINK THIS MAY FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW BUT JEEP WILL NOT WORK ON ANYTHING WITH ME. PLEASE HELP

ENGINE STARTED TO OVERHEAT AFTER A WEEKEND DRIVE. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AS WE WERE PARKING. TOOK IT IN TO GET COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACED, COOLANT FLUSH, AND THERMOSTATS REPLACED. COME TO FIND OUT THE HEAD GASKET BLEW AND DAMAGED THE PISTON RINGS. I NEED A NEW ENGINE! THERE WAS NO WARNING OF HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURES UNTIL 5 SECONDS BEFORE WE PARKED! CAR WAS ALWAYS MAINTAINED. THE ENGINE HAD 79,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE SPORADICALLY. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER, WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES, AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING NORMALLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL THROTTLE INDICATOR AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GREENWAY MOTORS (300 BEDFORD RD, MORRIS, IL 60450, (815) 942-3400) WHERE IT UNDERWENT SEVERAL UNKNOWN REPAIRS, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DISCLOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,625.

JEEP WAS SKIPPING WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN, IT WAS JUST MOVE SLOWLY. I BROUGHT IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST , HE TOOK IT OUT OF MY CAR FOR DIAGNOSTIC BECAUSE HE CLAIMED HE COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM BY DRIVING OR COMPUTER. CHARGED $840 AND STATED THE TRANSMISSION COULD NOT BE REPAIRED IT HAD TO BE REBUILT. I COULD NOT AFFORD THE PRICE QUOTED. THEY PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN MY TRUNK.

I WENT TO START MY CAR AND THERE WAS NO POWER EVEN WITH A JUMP. AFTER REPLACING THE STARTER, BATTERY, RELAYS, EGINITION SWITCH, THERMOSTATS, ALTER ALTERNATOR AND THROTTLE BODY THE ISSUE CONTINUED. ON THE HWY THE TEMP LIGHT COMES ON AND HAS ISSUES ACCELERATING AND WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT CLICK SEEMS LIKE IT'S NOT GOING TO START AND FINALLY DOES. THE BATTERY LIGHT STAYS ON. AND JUST OVER ALL JERKY AND LIGHTS DIM.

MY CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD. DURING HIGHWAY DRIVES (1-2 HOURS), THE ENGINE STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND IS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE.

THE ROLL-OVER CHECK VALVE IN THE GAS TANK BECOMES STUCK OPEN AND THE GAS TANK WILL NOT FILL. IF THE CAR ROLLS OVER, ALL THE GAS WOULD SPILL OUT. THE ONLY FIX ACCORDING TO JEEP IS FOR ME TO PAY $1600 FOR A NEW GAS TANK FOR A PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS WITH NORMAL USE OF THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY DECELERATED TO 10 MPH AND EXPERIENCED AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER. AFTER THE DECELERATION OCCURRED, THE CHECK ENGINE, TRACTION, AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LINDSAY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (8100 CENTREVILLE RD, MANASSAS, VA 20111, (888) 241-6888) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS SAME PART HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

I ACCELERATED UP TO 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET AND THEN COASTED UP TO TRAFFIC AND WAS SLOWING DOWN, AT THE LIGHT AND MY CAR ALL THE SUDDEN TURNED ON 3 LIGHTS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TROTTLE POSITION LIGHT. I STOPPED MY CAR AT THE LIGHT AND ONCE I DID THE CAR JERKED FORWARD SENDING ME INTO THE INTERSECTION. LUCKY NO ONE WAS COMING BUT I ENDED UP HAVING TO RUN THE RED LIGHT BECAUSE MY CAR JERK FORWARD AGAIN AND ONCE I GAVE IT GAS IT ONLY GOT WORSE. I PULLED OFF INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED MY CAR ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES TO RESET THE COMPUTER. IT FINALLY DID AFTER TURNING IT ON AND OFF FIVE TIMES. ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. SO I TRIED TO DRIVE IT TO WORK AND ONCE I DROVE DOWN THE CITY ROAD A LITTLE WAYS (MAYBE A MILE). THE CAR JERKED AND ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT UP AND THEN DOWNSHIFTED AND MY ENGINE THEN REVED TO FIVE THOUSAND RPM. AND ALL THE LIGHTS TURNED BACK ON AND MY CAR JERK VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH. THE RPM'S STAYED AT THREE TO FOUR THOUSAND REVING MY ENGINE NEEDLESSLY. I FINALLY PULLED OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A SHOP. THE JEEP CERTIFIED MECHANIC REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE HEARD OF A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE

BOUGHT WITH 33000 MILES. THE BRAKES MAKE LOUD NOISE WHEN BACKING UP FIRST DRIVE OF THE DAY.

2014 JEEP PATRIOT IS STALLING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY UPHILL. IT IS ALSO STALLING AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATING AGAIN. WHILE GOING UPHILL RECENTLY THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED TO CLIMB UPHILL. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE HAS NOT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT YET. THIS MOSTLY HAPPENS ON CITY STREET HOWEVER WHEN GETTING ONTO THE ON RAMP IT SPUTTERS TO ACCELERATE SOMETIMES AND ALSO IF TRAFFIC COMES TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY AND I TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. I HAVE COMPLETED REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR SO THIS HAS COME OUT OF NOWHERE. I SEE PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE WHICH COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL BUT I'M NOT SURE IF MY VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THIS RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I WAS DRIVING VERY SLOWLY ON A SIDE STREET NEAR A PARK. I MADE A U-TURN AND AS I FINISHED COMING OUT OF THE TURN, MY VEHICLE ENGINE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF OF THE ROAD. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.

MY JEEP PATRIOT IS 5 YEARS OLD AND ALREADY I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY GO BAD, STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH JERKED ME AND MY PASSENGER, HAD IT REPLACED ALSO THE ABS MODULE CONTROL WHICH ALSO GAVE OUT 2 MONTHS LATER WHILE I WAS DRIVING, VERY DANGEROUS, CAR STILL NOT RUNNING GOOD!! CAR SAT FOR 3 MONTHS AFTER INCIDENT

MY CAR ISN'T EVEN 5 YEARS OLD AND THE LIGHTENING BOLT COMES ON AND MY CAR SLOWS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. IT TAKES AT LEAST TWO TRIES TO TURN THE CAR ON BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STARTS AND NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE LIGHTENING BOLT COMES ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WILL JERK AND WON'T GO MORE THAN 35 AND WON'T RESPOND TO ACCELERATING. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE AND SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING WITH A CAR LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD.

5 / 6 MONTHS BACK COLD DAY --2 F TEMP ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME FOR 2 MIN AND THEN NEVER CAME BACK TILL THIS WEEK MONDAY 3 & TUESDAY 4, 2019 . WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MILES ON HIGHWAY 6 FROM HOME TO OFFICE . CERTAINLY ENGINE LOST POWER I WAS WORRIED CAN HIT OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD . I MY JEEP ON 1/3/2015 HAVE ONLY 20217 MILES . THEN YESTERDAY I TOOK MY BAXTER JEEP DEALER 17950 BURT STREET OMAHA NE 68118 .. THEY DID COVER MY REPAIR AND PARTS REPLACEMENT COST UNDER JEEP WARRANTY . THEY CHARGE MY $ 716. 63 BAXTER REPLACED CPC 68420395AB T/BODY -KIT & 4884551AA GASKET -THROTTLE BODY $631.31 PLUS TAX TOTAL $ 716.63 THEY CHARGED FROM ME. I FEEL JEEP SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR RECALL AND MY EXPENSES PLEASE BE GIVEN BACK TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AS THIS WAS NOT MY MISTAKE . ITS JEEP COMPANY SHOULD MAKE ASSURE THIS JEEP NOT HAVE THIS DEFECTIVE AGAIN IN ANY OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. EVERY MUST BE SAFE WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD . I CAN NOT TAKE THAT RICK FOR MY LIFE AND LIFE OTHER DRIVER WHILE DRIVING . PLEASE RECALL ALL JEEP AS OF MY MODEL . AND CHECK THESE DEFECT FREE UNDER RECALL SYSTEM.

MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. WHEN ON THE FREEWAY IT WILL RANDOMLY LOSE ACCELERATION AT 60 MILES/HR AND THE POWER WILL DROP DOWN TO 40 CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY VEHICLE. I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND AS I BEGAN TO TAKE OFF THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 OR 10 MILES/HR AND I WOULD HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART. ONCE I HAVE RESTARTED MY VEHICLE IT WILL START AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY SEMI TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY AND SEVERAL OTHER SEVERAL TIMES WITH KIDS AND OTHERS FAMILY MEMBERS IN MY VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS TO NOT ONLY MY SELF, BUT ANYONE ON THE ROAD WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN MY AUTOMOBILE TO THE SHOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE IT ON DEMAND. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SITUATION AND I ONLY PRAY THAT SOMEONE WITH A MORE AUTHORITY WILL TAKE A STANCE AND GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. MEANWHILE, I AM HAVING TO SPEND UNNECESSARY MONEY ON RENTAL CARS, WHILE PAYING A CAR NOTE. THIS IS UNHEARD OF AND I AM PRAYING THAT A LIFE WILL NOT BE LOST DUE TO THIS PROBLEM NOT BEING RESOLVED! MY DATE BELOW IS GIVE OR TAKE BECAUSE I CAN REMEMBER EACH TIME THIS JEEP HAS ACTED UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V552000 (ENGINE). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

WHEN TURNING ON A HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP IT . I ALMOST HIT A TREE THE VEHICLE SLOWED AFTER HITTING THE ISLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED HAD IT REPLACED THE VEHICLE HAS 35000 MILES ON IT VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION

PCM NEEDING TO BE 'UPDATED' AND NOW MY CAR IS STOPPING WHILE DRIVING. THE BATTERY, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ENGINE LIGHT ALL WENT OFF AT THE SAME TIME AND STOPPED MY CAR. LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 20MPH. HOW DANGEROUS!! READ ONLINE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND JEEP HASN'T MADE THIS A RECALL YET? WHAT A SHAME. PATHETIC. HAPPENED 5/17/19 THOUGH THIS FILE ISN'T ACCEPTING 2019 DATES..???

WHEN I WAS STOPPING ARE RED LIGHT WITH FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE CAR ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN. IF I HAD NOT PRESSED BRAKE HARDER I WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT.

I TOOK THE CAR TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE AND IT SAID THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL AND MY CAR LOSES POWER WITHOUT NOTICE.

THROTTLE BODY REPLACED TWICE ALREADY

RATTLE NOISE FROM FRONT OF VEHICLE. DEALER CAN NOT FIND PROBLEM. GOOGLE STATES THAT STEERING LIQUID LINE LOOSE ATTACHMENTS TO CAR'S CHASIS. I FIT FAILS HOSE CAN RUPTURE CAUSING PRESSURE OF OIL TO STEERING WHEEL

ENGINE THROTTLE COMPONENT LIGHT CAME ON GOING APPR. 45 MPH. IDLING WHILE DRIVING. PATRIOT AT 85,000 MILES.

MY ENGINE HAD BEEN ON FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING THE RED FLASH LIGHT CAME ON WHICH WHEN I READ MY MANUAL, IT'S MY ETC. MY JEEP STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED MY JEEP OFF AND READ MY MANUAL. IT STATED I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND GET IT SERVICE. I DROVE IT HOME. AS I READ THE COMPLAINTS ON HERE FOR THE SAME THING, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL OR SHOULD BE NOW, BECAUSE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IF IT ACCELERATES ON IT'S ON AND CAN'T STOP.

MY DAUGHTER WAS GOING 30 MPH IN HER JEEP OVER A BRIDGE. THE CAR INFRONT OF HER STOPPED SUDDENLY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP DUE TO ICE AND HIT THE CAR INFRONT OF HER.

RED BOLT ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 15 MPH AND STEERING AND BRAKING BECAME DIFFICULT. CAR IMMEDIATELY TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY (PART 68420395AA) WAS REPLACED WITH A FACTORY PART. AFTER REVIEWING OTHER COMPLAINTS, THIS SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE REFERENCED PART, AND OWNER/DRIVER IS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RESOLUTION OF REPLACING A FAULTY PART WITH WITH A FAULTY PART FOR A TOTAL OF $800. MILEAGE ON CAR AT TIME OF TBA FAILURE = 69,850 WITH NO PREVIOUS INDICATORS OF UPCOMING FAILURE. FURTHER RESOLUTION IS NEEDED TO ENSURE SAFETY OF ALL DRIVERS.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ESPECIALLY WHEN GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY CAR JUMPS AND WILL NOT GO. RED LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL COMES ON THE DASHBOARD. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. ALSO SEEMS TO BE GETTING A LOT WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STARTED LOSING ACCELERATION AND POWER. THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO SUGGESTED THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ZEIGLER CHRYSLER DODGE RAM (3939 STADIUM DR, KALAMAZOO, MI 49008, (269) 743-4142) WHERE IT TOOK SEVERAL DAYS TO BE SERVICED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE ENGINE CONTAINED DEBRIS, WHICH CAUSED IT TO SEIZE. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER REGARDING THE NEXT STEPS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,100.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT, THE CAR STARTED LOSING POWER WHILE ACCELERATING UPHILL, IT ALSO VEERED OFF THE ROAD, LIKE IT WAS STEERING ITSELF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A RED LIGHTNING BOLT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THANKFULLY I WASN'T FAR FROM MY MECHANIC AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO MY MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A THROTTLE BODY. THIS COULD BE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SPEED SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. MOMENTS LATER, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRIENDSHIP CHRYSLER JEEP (2638 W. STATE ST, BRISTOL, TN) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE THROTTLE SYSTEM WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

JEEP STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERANT SPEEDS WITH OUT WARNING. MY JEEP HAS DONE THIS MANEY TIMES WETHER GOING 60 OR 40 ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN A SMALL TOWN. HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT IT THEY HAD IT FOR A HOUR AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT .HAS DONE IT SINCE THEN MENY TIMES.

I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE. THE THROTTLE LIGHTNING BOLT FLASHES, CAR WONT SHIFT OR DO MORE THAN 35. IT WONT RESPOND TO ACCELERATING. IT JERKS ALL OVER THE PLACE WHEN AT A LOW SPEED. I WENT OFF OF THE ROAD IN THE SNOW BUT WAS OK. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT KICKED INTO A LOWER GEAR, JERKED AND THE CAR SLID. YOU ARE GOING TO GET PEOPLE KILLED IGNORING THIS AND NOW HERE IS WRITTEN PROOF THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. DO HEAR THAT, CHRYSLER? BECAUSE YOURE ABOUT TO.

I WAS DRIVING 60MPH AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT KICK ON. JEEP DROPS DOWN TO 40 MPH AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE, GOING UPHILL IT DROPS TO ABOUT 20 MPH. IF YOU GO TO STOP WHEN THESE LIGHTS ARE ON THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD AND IT HARD IDLES. THROWS CODES OF ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MALFUNCTION. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND DEALER RECOMMENDS NOT DRIVING IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

SAME COMPLAIN AS EVERYONE ELSE. MY JEEP PATRIOT 2014 SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTED JERKING WHILE DRIVING NOT ALLOWING ME TO ACCELERATE. THREE LIGHTS CAME ON THE THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT, ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY MY SELF AND I WANT MY DANG RECALL OR A LAWSUIT FILED BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND LIFES ARE INVOLVED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACING AFTER SUDDENLY LOSING POWER TO THE VEHICLE. THE RED LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE. SIMPLE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, YET JEEP WANTS OVER $800 TO REPLACE IT. THIS IS TRULY DECEPTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED ON ALL VEHICLES WITHOUT COST PARTICULARLY GIVEN HOW DANGEROUS OF A SITUATION IT CREATES WITHOUT ADVANCED WARNING.

WHEN DRIVING, CAR WILL SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN, AND THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT WILL COME ON AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. IT WILL BE FINE FOR A COUPLE DAYS, AND THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE ISSUE WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS TO WHERE I LOSE CONTROL IS UNKNOWN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE, AND HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I SEE A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I ONLY HAVE 51,000 MILES ON MY CAR. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

I'VE HAD 3 FUEL PUMPS REPLACED AND COUNTLESS TIMES MY CAR HASN'T STARTED JUST BECAUSE LIKE NOW, WHICH BROUGHT ME HERE. THIS NEEDS A RECALL IMMEDIATELY BUT EVERY TIME I LOOK THERE ISN'T ONE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2014 AND IT STILL ONLY HAS 45,539 MILES ON IT. A WEEK AGO I STARTED MY CAR & THEN IT TURNED OFF. LUCKILY I WAS AT I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY SO WITH ALL OF THIS WE NEED A RECALL.

I HAVE A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE THAT HAS 48100 MILES ON IT . ITS WAS FINE UP UNTIL KNOW WHERE IT WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING AND SHUT DOWN AND THE STABILITY LIGHT WOULD COME ON . I WOULD PULL OVER AND THE CAR WOULD RESTART . IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT AND ITS SCARY NOT TO KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN . SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED . JEEP SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THE CARS AND FIX THE PROBLEM . THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING A CORNER AND ON STREETS AND THEN WENT TO STALL OUT ON A HIGHWAY.

MY JEEP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS NOW HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. THE MOMENTS I'M IN TRAFFIC ARE LUCKY, BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, I LOST MY S@$T. I WAS IN A VERY SCARY SITUATION AND EXTREMELY LUCKY TO HAVE HAD PULLED AWAY WITHOUT BEING OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I'M IN TRAFFIC, AT SLOW MOVING SPEEDS, AND ON THE FREEWAY, INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT WILL KICK BACK ON BEFORE I HAVE TO PULL OFF. BUT ALWAYS IN TRAFFIC IF IT HAPPENS IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. NO REAL PATTERN AT ALL, JUST RANDOM.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE A RED LIGHNING BOLT APPEARS ON MY DASH THAN I AM UNABLE TO GAS THE VEHICLE. THAN THE LIGHT TURNS OFF AND THE CAR IS NORMAL UNTIL IT NEEDS TO ACCELERATE AGAIN THAN THE PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AGAIN. THE LIGHT IS NOT ON LONG ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO USE A CODE READER TO BE ABLE TO FIND OUT THE ISSUR AT HAND. IF IT IS A SENOR OR SOMETHING WITH THE THROTTLE OR BOTH. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE BUT ONLY ONCE THIS TIME IT HAS BEEN A CONTINOUS ON AND OFF SITUATION THAT I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE COMFORTABLY.

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, AND THE ELECTRICAL INDICATOR CAME ON AS WELL AS POWER REDUCED DOWN TO 25-30 MILES PER HOUR DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR. DROVE CAR ON SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY UNTIL CLOSEST EXIT FOR SAFETY. TOWED VEHICAL TO MECHANIC, AND THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED.
