2014 JEEP PATRIOT Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. While the contact’s daughter was driving at approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle suddenly lost motive power and decelerated unintendedly. During the failure, the power steering, brake assist, and the check engine warning lights illuminated. The driver was able to coast to the side of the road, where the vehicle was turned off. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was towed and after approximately 30 - 40 minutes, the vehicle was restarted. The contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V115000 (Electrical System); online, which indicated a similar failure and that the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM-7) might fail, causing the vehicle to stall without warning. The make and model year was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

Mileage: 106,000

My engine light and traction light and red lightning bolt light is on and it’s making the vehicle run really hard and shake and almost stall out and won’t go over 20 miles per hour

My jeep would suddenly jerk forward almost rear ending people at red lights without any warning. While traveling at approximately 45 mph the engine light came on my jeep. As I went to pull over the engine started bucking/jerking then the engine light flashed. I was barely able to pull over on the side of the road before the car completely stalled. I had to have towed to a dealership as it was no longer drivable. I was almost on the highway. The dealership said I had total engine failure and should buy a new car. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. I ASSOCIATE THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V552000 (ENGINE) That has been open since of 11/2013. But my vehicles VIN “wasn’t included”. I was driving with my four small kids in my jeep.

No warning lights have appeared; after an oil change, the technician said there is some oil seepage; at start up, the vehicle smells like gas and clicks and start up. The fumes are overwhelming at times. Off and on driving the vehicle clicks 2-4 times then stops. No warning lights are illuminating. The ECT had a failure at 67676 mileage the vehicle smelled like gas and would not accelerate, The Throttle body was replaced. No recall notice for this failure is listed for this vehicle.

Driving normal then suddenly power loss, jeep went into acceleration then loss of power, the ETC , traction control, and check engine lights came on, got a uo4o1 code, I was on the interstate with my son in the car. We were lucky to exit before horrible consequences. The electronic throttle control was bad.

Engine jerking really had while vehicle is in drive and idle hard while sitting still

When travelling at high speeds, the engine repeatedly stalls, the engine light comes on the engine shuts down posing a major safety risk especially when on the highway at 65-70 mile hour speeds. There is a recall on similar models, but my vehicle's vin number is not showing. I am concerned that this vehicle has the same issue, but Chrysler is refusing to check it. The recall campaign number is N52 for a certain group of vehicles of the same model and the problem described is exactly what I am having with my vehicle. Essentially, my vehicle is posing a serious safety hazard and Chrysler is not willing to address it. I would appreciate any help with this matter. I have had two different mechanics look at it before I saw the recall and unable to detect the problem. Now that I have read the information on the recall, I want to have Chrysler review it for the recall. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Lightning bolt symbol, check engine light and traction control lights came on and vehicle went into limp mode while taking my 3 yr old to pre school. Scans say vacuum leak/throttle body. This is a recurrent problem with these cars and has had recalls on certain ones. Almost didnt make it where i was going. . . Needs to be addresses on this model too. My car only has 76,721 miles.

Engine stalled when I was driving

The vehicle stops while driving and no engine light is coming the wheel locks up while driving and the engine shuts off

One day I went to crank up my car and it would not even crank or turn over

While traveling at approximately 45 mph the engine light came on my jeep decreased on speed and it wouldn’t go any faster than 30 mph. The engine started shaking/jerking then the engine light flashed on and off very quickly. Was able to Pull to the side of the road car completely stalled out just as I put it in park. This incident also occurred 2 weeks after having the catalytic converter replaced due to emissions recall and it was jerking. I had to have emit towed

My jeep has revved up and lunged forward scream times over the past 4 months. I’ll have my foot on the brake and it’s trying to lunge forward. Today the engine light came on and it wouldn’t go any faster than 30mph and it was jerking. I had to have emit towed.

The Electronic Throttle Body has failed 3 times in 3 years. Each time it caused issued with the traction control, stability control, and precrash systems and others that require torque management, causing us to pull and making it unsafe to drive. . 2014 Jeep Patriot bought: 1/10/2015 | Electronic Throttle Body Assembly (Chrysler) first replaced/purchased: $385 1/19/2021 | Warranty replacement: August 2021 | purchased replacement (Techsmart/Standard Motor Products): $494.88 4/14/2022

As my wife was heading to a doctor's appointment the electronic throttle body failed while she was on a busy highway during rush hour. The car had 51,524 miles on it. This is the second time that this part has failed. The first time was a little less than 40,000 miles. When this fails the vehicle loses power and becomes a rear-end collision hazard. I also own a 2016 Jeep Patriot and its throttle body failed at a little less than 40,000 miles.

My patriot keeps shutting down on and off while driving. It is really unsafe, I did some research and there are multiple complaints since 2014 from other people about the same problem. The steering wheel won't even move when this happened. I believe this is a manufacturing issue and I am reporting it. I had taken my car to the mechanic over and over again and they do not know why this is happening.

I have a 2014 2.4L JEEP PATRIOT. I first noticed the problem when I was driving at 75 MPH between Mertzon Texas and Barnhart Texas, where there is no cell service unless you are on top of a hill. Then suddenly the check engine and the oil light came on and the vehicle began to lose speed no matter how much I pushed the gas peddle. The engine felt like it was running out of power and i was unable to accelerate, the engine began to stall and would not allow me to go over 15mph. The problem continued to get worse, while I pulled over and stopped, the engine would idle very heavily and sound rough. When I tried to proceed, the engine would stall, and my foot would be presing down on the gas pedalbut the car would not accelerate. Then after about a minute or the with the gas pedal down to the floor, the vehicle's rpms would jump and the it would go. But it continued the same pattern for about 15 miles, then it just died and would not start again for a few hours, but the issue was still the same, it would start but not move. Another issue is when the vehicle would be in park position and I would try to go in reverse, the engine would sound like it went into reverse, but it would not move, it would stall out and die. I have taken it to so many shops and they can not give an answer, they just say that the motor is blown. The problem is consistent with the NHS Recal-13V552000, so why does it still say that my vin in not affected when actually it is, but nothing is being done.

On 7/15, my sensor showed I needed a usual oil change. I have had no prior issues with my oil. I drove it to my brothers and there was a loud knocking sound, and my dad checked the dipstick showing zero oil in my engine. I took it down the street about 2 miles, and the engine was stalling the whole way. The engine completely failed. It wouldn’t take oil, it was completely failed. As of 11/2013, I did some research and my particular model of the vehicle has an open recall that apparently doesn’t affect my VIN, however, the recall 13v552000/N52 states that abrasive debri in the balance shaft bearing causes loss of engine oil pressure, causing the engine to stall and or fail. I’m at a loss, and it’s been open as of 11/2013.

I HAVE A 2014 2.4L JEEP PATRIOT. I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THEN SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE SPEED. THE ENGINE FELT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF POWER AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO GO OVER 20 MPH. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE WOULD IDLE VERY HEAVILY. WHEN I WENT TO PROCEED, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. MY FOOT WOULD BE PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. THEN AFTER ABOUT TWO MINUTES WITH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE'S RPMS WOULD JUMP TO 4-5 AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. ANOTHER ISSUE IS WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE IN A PARKED POSITION AND THEN PROCEEDED TO BE REVERSED, AS I WAS TURNING THE WHEEL TO BACK UP THE ENGINE STARTED SPUTTERING AND STALLED OUT. I HAD TO COMPLETELY TURN THE KEY OFF THEN BACK ON TO ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE TO REVERSE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO SO MANY SHOPS THAT CAN'T GIVE ME ANSWERS. THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT WITH THE NHS RECALL- 13V552000

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.

Mileage: 135,000

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.

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.

Mileage: 85,000

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.

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 HIGHWAY AS I AM SCARED TO DEATH OF GETTING INTO A CAR ACCIDENT. I STRICTLY USE THIS CAR TO TRAVEL TO AND FROM WORK. I AM TIRED OF SENDING THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIPS AND MECHANICS WITH NO RESOLUTIONS. I WANT TO TRADE THIS CAR IN, BUT AM AFRAID FOR THE NEXT PERSON. I THINK THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD PERIOD!!

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.

Mileage: 59,958

I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY THROTTLE BODY UNIT ON THIS CAR AT 75,000 MILES. THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD.

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 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.

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.

Mileage: 48,100

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.

TKATA RECALL. I OWN A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WHICH STARTED JUST A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT NEW. THE FIRST ISSUE WAS THE TRANSMISSION HOSE CAME OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL AND I WAS NEARLY UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR TO GET PULLED OVER. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE HOSE CLAMP, FILLED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RELEASED IT BACK TO ME. HAD I KNOWN WHAT HELL I WOULD BE DEALING WITH AFTERWARDS I WOULD HAVE NEVER BROUGHT IT BACK HOME. I NOW HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES (I BELIEVE). THE CAR WILL OVERHEAT WITHIN MINUTES OF DRIVING IT. I HAVE NO HEAT. THE ETC LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW A CONSTANT. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO MANY TIMES TO COUNT NOW AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT. JEEP HAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE AND STATES THAT THERE ARE NO OTHER ISSUES LIKE MINE, BUT WHEN I LOOK AT BLOGS THERE ARE THOUSANDS. I FEEL DOOPED BY JEEP. THIS COMPLAINT IS MY LAST RESORT BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE THIS CAR BUT THE AMOUNT I OWE AND BEING THAT THIS CAR IS OF ZERO VALUE DUE TO ALL OF THE ISSUES, IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TRADE IN. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

ALREADY ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 70 MPH, I NOTICED THAT IT WAS HARDER TO ACCELERATE. I WAS PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND MY JEEP WAS NOT PICKING UP ANY SPEED. THE TACHOMETER WAS PUSHING THE LINE IN READ BETWEEN 7 & 8 AS I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE. COUPLE DAYS LATER DRIVING IN TOWN, IT DID IT AGAIN ONLY IT TOOK AWHILE TO ACCELERATE AND GET TO 30-40 MPH. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO AUTO-ZONE TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. THEY TOLD ME TO UNPLUG THE BATTERY AND HAVE IT SIT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS TO SEE IF THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME OFF. WEEK LATER I'M STILL STUCK WITHOUT MY VEHICLE. REPORTED IT TO MOPAR AND THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT FIXED. MY JEEP ONLY HAS UNDER 90K MILES ON IT. I'M HOPING THIS ISSUE BECOMES A RECALL BEING THAT THE STORIES HAVE BEGUN TO SURFACE LATE NOVEMBER 2018.

AS I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR WOULD DISPLAY THE ETC AND MALFUNCTION MIL LIGHTS ON DASH AND ABRUPTLY STOP RUNNING ! THIS HAPPENED MORE THAN 7 TIMES WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. I WAS ALMOST KILLED WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING 60ISH MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO COAST OVER. AFTER GETTING CAR TOWED TO JEEP DEALER, I SAW OTHER PATRIOTS THERE EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEM. I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 30K MILES YET HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE TOTALLING OVER $850. NOW, A FEW MONTHS LATER AND LESS THAN 150 MILES DRIVEN, I HAD MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSE ALL POWER AS I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC. I AM PETRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS DEATH TRAP

Mileage: 33,559

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AT ABOUT 30 MPH MY ETC LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR STARTS TO SLOW AND WILL NOT LET ME ACCELERATE. ALSO AS SOON AS I STOP AND START TO GO MY CAR MOVES VERY SLOWLY ABOUT 10MPH AND SOMETIMES THE ETC LIGHT AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 15/20MPH AT ALL UNTIL I STOP AND TRY TO GO AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT'S SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO STOP AND SHUT OFF MY CAR AND START IT AGAIN FOR IT TO FIX ITSELF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING ACROSS THE ROAD OR TURNING WHEN OTHER CARS ARE COMING. NEVER MIND HOW DANG IT IS IF IT IS TO HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH I HAVE AVOIDED SINCE I DON'T FEEL LIKE DYING ANYTIME SOON. EVERYTHING I READ ON THE INTERNET IS SAYING THAT IT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE 2014 JEEP PATRIOTS. THIS IS HONESTLY SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE SERIOUSLY HURT AND AT NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. I'VE ALSO READ ABOUT A RECALL ON AN ENGINE PART FROM 2013 IN THE 2014 PATRIOTS WITH A 2.4L ENGINE AND I AM JUST WONDERING WHY WHEN I LOOK UP RECALLS FOR MY CAR THAT SPECIFIC ONE DOES NOT SHOW UP. IF SOMETHING IS WRONG AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OWNERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

TAKATA RECALL THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED 3 MONTHS APART. TODAY I WAS GOING 45 MPH DRIVING FOR 3 MINUTES AND MY TRACK LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT, AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST PRESSURE IN THE ACCELERATION AND COULD ONLY MOVE 20 MPH. I PULLED OVER TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON, THEN IT WORKED LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. THIS ALSO HAS HAPPENED 3 MONTHS AGO ON THE BYPASS GOING 70 MPH AND I HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DIE. SO WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO LET IT COOL DOWN AND ALL THE LIGHTS WENT AWAY AND RAN AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. VERY SCARY.

WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED OR IDLING AT A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I MUST PUT MY CAR IN PARK, SHUT THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF, THEN RESTART, SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON CITY STREET, HIGHWAYS, WHILE TURNING AND WHILE STOPPED, IT HAS BECOME UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE TO DRIVE. I AM STILL UNAWARE OF WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL COMPONENTS ON THE VEHICLE THAT I THINK COULD HAVE BEEN LINKED: BATTERY, THROTTLE BODY, SPARK PLUGS, CAM SENSORS, RUNNER VALVE, AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NONE OF THESE REPLACEMENTS HAS FIXED THIS ISSUE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH JEEP (N52) AND WHEN I CALLED TO TELL THEM MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THIS ISSUE THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY WOULD MAKE A NOTE, AND THEY COULD NOT AUTHORIZE A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I ASKED THEM IF I TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY FOUND THIS TO BE THE ISSUE COULD THEY ISSUE THEY RECALL THEN THEY TOLD ME NO AND IT WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT OF MY OWN EXPENSES.

I WAS DRIVING GOING HOME IN A BUSY STREET IN LOS ANGELES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL) AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) (SEE PHOTOS) LIGHT SHOWED UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND I STOPPED BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED RED. I HAD 3 PASSENGERS WITH ME AND THEY WERE TRYING TO GOOGLE WHAT THE DASHBOARD LIGHT MEANS. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I STARTED TO DRIVE BUT THE ENGINE WAS STALLING, AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO DRIVE, NO POWER. SO I PARKED AT THE CURB, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND WAITED FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN TURNED THE IGNITION ON AGAIN. THE ESC DISAPPEARED FROM THE DASHBOARD BUT THE MIL REMAINED LIT UP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME AND THE NEXT DAY, TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT'S WORKING FINE NOW. I NOTICED THE DIFFERENCE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE AND AFTER THE THROTTLE WAS CHANGED. I AM REPORTING THIS TO YOU BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD NEWS AND GOT A LETTER FROM A LAW FIRM INFORMING ME OF A NUMBER OF MECHANICAL DEFECTS REPORTED ABOUT THE VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2014 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE FROM MARSHALL DODGE IN CRITTENDEN (WHICH SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE AFTER PURCHASING!) WAS A GREAT CAR FOR THE FIRST LITTLE BIT. I CAN NO LONGER DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE. AT INTERSTATE SPEED (65-70 MPH) THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO MAKE A SQUEAL NOISE AND WITHIN FIVE MINUTES I AM PLAYING LEAP FROG TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AT MAX SPEED OF (20 MPH) AND THE VEHICLE IS VERY JERKY. WHEN IT DOES THIS ALL FLUIDS IN THE CAR ARE FINE, GIVE IT ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND THE CAR WILL ACT NORMAL, BUT I CANNOT TRUST IT TO GET BACK ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO YEARS. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEIR USELESS EXTENDED WARRANTY AND NOTHING GETS DONE! I HAVE CONTINUALLY BEEN TOLD THEY CANNOT FIND ANY SIGNS VIA COMPUTER IT HAS DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS OR AFTER KEEPING IT FOR TWO WEEKS DRIVING IT AND LOOKING IT OVER IT HAS NO REASON TO. IT IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY AND AM FRUSTRATED I CAN TRUST MY ORIGINAL VEHICLE (THANKFULLY I DIDN'T TRADE IT IN TO THAT CROOKED DEALERSHIP) THAT HAS ALMOST 200,000 MILES ON IT, A 2004 SCION TC, MORE THAN A VEHICLE I BOUGHT BRAND NEW THAT STARTED BECOMING UNRELIABLE WITH 36,000 MILES ON IT. I FEEL LIKE I BOUGHT A LEMON AND THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO FIX IT. THIS VEHICLE CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO GET TO A TO B AND I FEEL LIKE I AM GETTING SCREWED BY MY JEEP DEALERSHIP AND JEEP. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS, THE MORE I RESEARCH THE MORE COMMON IT IS; OR JEEP SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE THESE VEHICLES RIGHT, BECAUSE THEY ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE! IF IT IS NEVER MADE RIGHT YOU CAN BET I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER JEEP PRODUCT AND I WILL BE SURE LET MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS KNOW JUST HOW DANGEROUS THEY ARE!

JEEP WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE AFTER 1.5 WEEKS OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I THEN TOWED IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND HE STATED THAT HE DIDNT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. HE REMOVED THE PLASTIC COVERINGS OVER THE ENGINE AND STATED THEY ARE JUST FOR LOOKS AND DONT NEED TO BE THERE AND CLEANED SOME WIRES NEAR THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL WELL AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START. LATER WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP STARTED TO ACT STRANGE. RANDOMLY ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD WOULD TURN ON, THE GUAGES WENT ALL THE WAY TO ZERO THEN BACK UP TO NORMAL THE RADIO WOULD SHUT OFF AND TURN BACK ON AND THE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL. LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED EXCEPT THIS TIME THE LIGHTS STAYED ON ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT COULD NOT ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I THEN WOULD HAVE TO PULL MY JEEP TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURN IT OFF LET IT SET FOR A LITTLE THEN IT WOULD START BACK UP FINE. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A COUPLE WEEKS. WHEN IT WASNT HAPPENING AND I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP AROUND NORMALLY THE CHECK BATTERY LIGHT WOULD ALWAYS TURN ON AFTER ABOUT 5 TO 10 MIN AFTER DRIVIMG THE VEHICLE. OCCASIONALLY THE CHECK OIL LIGHT WILL ALSO TURN ON. I HAVE STILL FOUMD MP SOLUTION TO THESE PROBLEMS AMD IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. IT MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE TO DROVE ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN CONGESTED AREAS DUE TO VEHICLE RANDOMLY NOT WORKING.

AT 27,900 MILES THE PLASTIC GEARS IN THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED, CAUSING AN UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND CLIMBING A HILL. I DID MY RESEARCH AND LEARNED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS EXISTED SINCE 2007 WITH NO PERMANENT SOLUTION. THIS MANIFESTS ITSELF AS AN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER UNTIL THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT COMES ON AT WHICH POINT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THERE IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO BY MOTOR CITY MECHANIC ON YOUTUBE THAT EXPLAINS THIS ISSUE IN DETAIL. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ONE OF THESE FAILS AT SPEED AND SOMEONE IS KILLED.

MY 2014 PATRIOT IS A 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH A 2.4 L ENGINE. IT HAS JUST UNDER 54000 MILES AND HAS RECENTLY (WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS) STARTED STALLING WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY NOT SUPER SERIOUSLY TO THE POINT OF LOSING ALL POWER AND BEING STRANDED, BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE. THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING IT DUE TO NO SENSOR OR WARNING LIGHTS, THEN ONE DAY FOR A SPLIT SECOND THE ETC LIGHT FLASHED. IT'S NEVER FLASHED SINCE AND THE CAR WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING WHEN MY BOYFRIEND DROVE IT. LAST WEEK WHILE STOPPED, WAITING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON DRY PAVEMENT MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED. FINALLY LAST WEEK AS WELL MY BOYFRIEND FELT IT STARTED TEMPORARILY WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, ON THE FREEWAY. NOW IT HAS STARTED NOT STARTING. ALL ELECTRICAL WILL WORK, BUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AS FAR AS ENGINE. IT HAD ONLY DONE THAT COUPLE TIMES, NOW, TODAY IT DID IT FOUR TIMES IN 4 HOURS. THE FIFTH TIME IT STARTED TO TURN OVER, THEN DIED MID-TURNOVER AND WOULDN'T START AGAIN. IT SAYS THERE WAS ORIGINALLY A RECALL ON THIS AND A COUPLE OTHER YEARS PATRIOT, COMPASS AND SOME OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS. NOT SURE IF MINE WAS FIXED OR NOT NOW DUE TO THE PROBLEM ARISING AT THIS POINT IN TIME. I'VE ONLY HAD THE JEEP SINCE MAY 2015. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND I'LL BE TAKING IT IN HOPEFULLY NEXT WEEK BUT I HAVE A DEDUCTIBLE. 'IF' MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY COVERS IT, I'LL HAVE RENTAL COVERAGE WHICH IS BETTER THAN SOME OTHER PEOPLE'S STORIES I'VE READ. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCING MORE RECENT ISSUES? MOST OF WHAT I'VE READ WAS FROM LAST YEAR SOMETIME. I'VE ALSO READ THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS BEING A MORE CURRENT ISSUE AND REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING.

FIRST - OIL IS CHANGED ON TIME AND SPARK PLUGS WITH COILS WERE REPLACED. MAINTENANCE IS DONE ON THE CAR. APPROXIMATELY AT AROUND 58K MILES, THE CAR BEGAN TO "SKIP" WHEN ACCELERATING WHEN IT REACHES OVER 20 MPH AND REACHING BETWEEN 3-4 RPM. THIS WAS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE. TODAY AT 60K MILES, THE CAR ON CRUISE CONTROL, ON A SMALL INCLINE IN THE ROAD, CAME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP (FROM 65 MPH) AND THEN ACCELERATED AS IF I STOMPED ON THE GAS - REACHING ALMOST 5 RPM BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE LIGHTS FLASHED BRIEFLY ON THE DASH BOARD BUT NO ERROR MESSAGES REMAINED LIGHT. I CALLED A REPUTABLE REPAIR GUY AND WITHOUT ERROR LIGHTS THERE ISN'T MUCH ANYONE CAN TELL YOU. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER THREADS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NOTHING BEING DONE BY CHRYSLER DUE TO THE LIMITED NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS. MY INCIDENT TODAY OCCURRED DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND I COULD VERY WELL HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED OR REAR-ENDED SOMEONE ELSE. WILL BE CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING BUT AM VERY CONCERNED AS I WORK OVER 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOME. ALSO VERIFIED NO RECALLS BY CALLING 1-800-247-9753 FOR THIS ISSUE.

WAS DRIVING ON I 95 SOUTH AND THE ENGINE JUST STARTER TO HESITATE AND QUIT FOR NO REASON. TOOK CAR TO CHRISLER DODGE DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND CHRISLER WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECORDS OF OIL CHANGES. NOVEMBER 6, 2013 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V552000 LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE MAY RESULT IN ENGINE STALL I ASKED ABOUT THIS ISSUE THAT WAS IDENTIFIED, BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE ISSUE HAD TO BE SPECIFFICALLY IDENTIFIED TO THE VIN NUMBER. BUT NOT TO WORRY, CHRISLER CAN SELL ME A NEW ENGINE FOR $6,900. THEY KEEP SAYING THE PARTS FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V668000 MANUFACTURER CHRYSLER (FCA US LLC) COMPONENTS SEAT BELTS, AIR BAGS STILL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I AM SURE FOR $2,000 OR SO, CHRISLER MAY BE ABLE TO GET THEM CASE BY CASE. FRUSTRATED!

UPON ENTERING A MAJOR HIGH WAY SYSTEM, THE ENGINE ON MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, REGARDLESS OF THE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL. IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING RESISTING THE ACCELERATION. THERE I AM IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 6 LANE BRIDGE WITH FREE WAY TRAFFIC GOING 60MPH AND I AM DECELERATING (EVEN WITH ADEQUATE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS) WHEN COMES ELECTRICAL THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT.

PURCHASED MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT PRE-OWNED FROM A LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP. APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND SHUT DOWN. I WAS GOING 55 AND IT ALL OF THE SUDDEN SLOWED TO 30MPH. THANK GOODNESS I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AS SOON AS I GOT TO THE SHOULDER, I SHUT THE CAR OFF THEN RESTARTED AND WAS FINE AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. THEN 3 DAYS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HADN'T HEARD OF SUCH AN ISSUE. DEBATED ON TAKING THE VEHICLE IN ANYWAY BUT NEXT TIME IT STARTED AND HAS DRIVEN WITHOUT STALLING SINCE THEN. WELL, A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THE GAS PEDAL STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN WHERE IT FELT LIKE IT HAD A BRIEF LAG IN THE ACCELERATION. I STOPPED FOR GAS ON MY WAY HOME AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP! I AM SCARED EVERY TIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL THAT ITS GOING TO TRY TO STALL WHILE I AM DRIVING OR I WILL END UP STRANDED SOMEWHERE. IN PURCHASING A JEEP I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE JEEP BRAND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELIABLE VEHICLE, NOT SO MUCH NOW. I WILL NEVER WASTE MY MONEY ON ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES AGAIN!

I'VE COMPLAINED HERE 2 WEEKS AGO BUT NOW AN UPDATE -- TODAY WAS THE SECOND TIME WHICH WAS MORE SERIOUS AS NOT ONLY THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON , BUT THE MIL LIGHT AND THEN THE EAC LIGHT. AFTER STALLING AND RESTARTING AND PLUGGING MY WAY HOME -- WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT , FOOT ON BRAKE ON A HILL, THE CAR SEEMED TO RPM VERY HIGHLY AND SEEMED TO WANT TO ACCELERATE (WHILE A PEDESTRIAN CROSSED IN FRONT OF ME AT THE LIGHT). AT THAT TIME -- OR AROUND THAT TIME -- ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON -- ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, BUT APPEARED TO SWOOP INTO HIGH GEAR WHILE SITTING WITH BRAKE ON PEDAL. IT THEN DWINDLED DOWN TO THE PREVIOUS 3 LIGHTS. LATER WHEN I MADE IT HOME AFTER SEVERAL STALLS, I WENT OUT TO START IT . THE MIL LIGHT LIGHTS FIRST, AND ALTHOUGH IT'S SUPPOSE TO WARN ME ABOUT SEAT-BELTS THAT HAS STOPPED. THEN THE ETC LIGHT COMES ON AFTER ABOUT 1 MINUTE OR SO, AND THE EAC WHICH STAYS ON.I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR DO THIS EVER! SO DANGEROUS! THE SEATBELT LIGHT? THIS HAS GOT TO BE ELECTRICAL. CHRYSLER HAS NEVER FIXED THEIR JEEP PROBLEMS -- THIS IS A REPEATED ISSUE WITH ALL OF THEIR JEEPS . I WAS IN DOWNTOWN DULUTH GOING ONLY 30 MPH BUT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO PAST THAT SPEED AS IT KEPT ATTEMPTING TO STALL OUT. I'M SORRY I COULDN'T TAKE PICTURES WHILE IN THE MIDST OF A PANIC.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO STALL AND THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR SEEMED TO GO NEUTRAL, THEN GAG, THEN REGAINED IT'S COMPOSURE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF. CAR WAS IN COLD WEATHER BUT NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE, IN MN. TEMPS THE MANUAL SAID IT WAS THE ETC ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL, BUT DIDN'T INDICATE IT WAS A MAJOR CONCERN, UNLESS LIGHT STAYED ON . WHAT WOULD BE A MAJOR CONCERN OTHER THAN GETTING REAR ENDED BY A PILE OF CARS? I'VE NEVER HAD THIS WITH ANY CAR, IT WAS TOTALLY A NEW LIGHT I'VE NEVER SEEN. I MADE IT TO WORK AFTERWARDS. ON THE WAY BACK HOME, THE ETC LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN -- FLASHING, THEN OFF -- CAR STAYED ROLLING. PERHAPS IT IS MORE INCLINED TO STALL GOING UPHILL WITH THE ETC, AND WHILE IT'S ROLLING DOWNHILL, LESS INCLINED TO STALL? WHO KNOWS, BUT I DON'T THINK THIS IS JUST A COUPLE PATRIOTS OUT THERE, BECAUSE THERE'S ALREADY MORE THAN 500 PEOPLE WHO'VE COMPLAINED OF THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED DEALER - BUT THEY DID NOT ADMIT TO ANY RECALLS FOR MY PATRIOT - EVEN WHEN I STATED OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS EXACT ISSUE. I AM VERY RELUCTANT TO TAKE MY JEEP ANYWHERE BUT A FEW BLOCKS IN THIS WINTER WEATHER. THIS WAS TRULY THE FIRST TIME I FELT UNSAFE IN IT. MILEAGE IS 89,000. HOWEVER, SHOULD AN ACCIDENT OCCUR I WILL CERTAINLY SUE THE COMPANY. *TR

IN AUGUST 2016 DRIVING ALONG AND THE CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT AND ELECTRICAL LIGHT AND MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT CAME ON. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE STAYED ON AS WELL AND THE CAR SPUTTERED THEN STOPPED. WOULD NOT GO. HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ELECTRONIC BODY THROTTLE NEEDED REPLACED. RIDICULOUS,I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP BUT DIDN'T HEAR BACK SO I HAD IT FIXED AND REPLACED. MONDAY DECEMEBER 12TH WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 45 MILES AN HOUR MY JEEP STALLED AND THEN COMPLETELY DIED ON THE ROAD. I MANAGED TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD AT A COAST. HAD IT TOWED AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC SAID I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED THE MECHANIC SAID "DUE TO ABRASIVE DEBRIS IN THE BALANCE SHAFT BEARINGS, THESE ENGINES MAY HAVE A LOSS OF ENGINE OIL PRESSURE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ENGINE STALL OR ENGINE FAILURE," SAID NHTSA IN ITS SUMMARY OF THE PROBLEM. "IF THE ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING, IT MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH." THE SAME AS THE RECALL,I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND MY JEEP WAS NOT ON THE RECALL. JUST BECAUSE IT WASN'T ON THE LIST DOES NOT MEAN THERE COULD NOT BE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY JEEP DID THE SAME THING TWICE WHILE DRIVING,STALLED AND THEN DIED. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION FILL PIPE BROKE OFF AND WAS HANGING UNDER THE CAR. LUCKILY WE NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS HANGING OFF THE CAR WHILE IT WAS PARKED, MY BOYFRIEND REACHED UNDER THE CAR TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND IT CAME OFF IN HIS HAND. HAD IT FALLEN OFF WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR IT COULD HAVE FALLEN OFF AND WE WOULD HAVE NEVER NOTICED IT AND HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AT SOME POINT. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT PRETENDED LIKE THEY'D NEVER HEAR OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE BUT A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MANY PATRIOT AND CALIBER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. I ALSO SUSPECT THAT A LOT OF THESE HAVE FALLEN OFF WITHOUT THE OWNERS EVEN REALIZING IT.

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVEN TIMES & ONE TIME WHEN NOT TURNING & USUALLY WHEN YOU ARE TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS EACH TIME. SERVICE CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. VEHICLE DOES NOT GIVE ANY INDICATION THAT ENGINE WILL DIE. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON IF IT DIES WHILE TURNING BUT IF NOT TURNING, VEHICLE ENGINE SIMPLY SHUTS OFF, AS IF IGNITION HAS BEEN TURNED OFF BUT VEHICLE HAS TO BE IN PARK AS OPPOSED TO BEING IN DRIVE WHEN ENGINE DIES. THE ENGINE IS QUIET & YOU CAN'T TELL IT'S DIED & YOU HAVE NO STEERING CONTROL.

I PULLED OVER AND LET MY CAR REST FOR 30 MINUTES AND MADE IT HOME AT 65 MPH. I NORMALLY TRAVEL ANYWHERE BETWEEN 70 & 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP IN WHEELING, WV THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. THE SERVICE DEPT. TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECORDED MESSAGES (CODES) IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND, THEREFORE, NO SERVICE WAS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE. THE TECH EVEN INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM HE SEES, BUT CHRYSLER HASN'T FIXED IT AND HOPES THERE'S A RECALL. FAST-FORWARD TO AUGUST 31ST, 2015, I ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM TWICE WHILE DRIVING HOME THROUGH OH. I HAD AUTOZONE RUN A DIAGNOSTIC AND AGAIN, NO RECORDED CODES IN THE SYSTEM.

ALSO WHILE DRIVE MY VEHICLE SEEM TO INCREASE AN AT TIME DECREASE ON ITS OWN. TODAY I DID A SEARCH ON RECALLS AND FOUND ONE SAFETY RECALL N52. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR MY JEEP. I EXPLAINED THAT NHTSA HAD THE RECALL INFORMATION ON THEIR WEB SITE, AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS NOT THE NHTSA WHO PUTS RECALLS. RECALLS ARE VIN SPECIFIC. I'M A LITTLE BAFFLE BY THE WOMAN AT CHRYSLER'S COMMENT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT SHE HAS NO IDEA OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE. I THANK THE WOMAN AND STATED THAT I HONESTLY HOPE THE INFORMATION GIVEN IS CORRECT AND THAT I AM SAFE ON THE ROADS. PERSONALLY I DON'T TRUST THE MANUFACTURES DUE TO HAVING PAST RECALLS ON VEHICLES AND RECIEVING NO NOTIFICATION. MY QUESTION TO NHTSA IS REGARDING RECALL N52 IS THIS A VIN SPECIFIC RECALL OR IS THIS A RECALL FOR 2014 JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS. I ALSO NOTICE THE ISSUE ANOTHER PERSON HAD WITH THE REAR BRAKE SQUEALING.

I WORK FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH ONE OF OUR SHARED FLEET VEHICLES. ON 5/11/15, I WAS DRIVING A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT FROM PITTSBURGH, PA TO ERIE, PA ON INTERSTATE 79 NORTH. APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 HOURS INTO THE TRIP, I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR. I NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS QUICKLY LOSING POWER. I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD ON THE LEFT DUE TO AN EMBANKMENT. AFTER SEVERAL CARS AND TRACTOR TRAILERS HAD TO BRAKE AND SWERVE TO PASS ME ON THE RIGHT, I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD JUST BEFORE IT STOPPED COMPLETELY. I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CALLED FOR A TOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DECREASED AFTER AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLES SPEED EVENTUALLY INCREASED AFTER DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

UPON BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, I NOTICED A VIBRATION AND RELATED NOISE COMING FROM BEHIND THE FIREWALL OF MY JEEP; HOWEVER, AFTER PLACING THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WHILE SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THE NOISE WENT AWAY. UPON PLACING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND ACCELERATING TO 5-10 MILES AN HOUR THE VIBRATION AND NOISE, WHICH I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS A IDLING MOTORCYCLE RETURNS. IF THE JEEP IS TRAVELING AT A SPEED UNDER 20 MPH OR SITTING IN DRIVE AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THIS ISSUE IS PRESENT. WITHIN ABOUT A WEEK OF THIS HAPPENING, THE JEEP HAD ISSUES STARTING. ONCE THE KEY WAS PLACED IN THE IGNITION AND AN ATTEMPT TO START THE CARE WAS MADE, THE ENGINE HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING. IT WOULD ENGINE WOULD TURNOVER SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD FINALLY START. I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE IT AS THE SAME EXPERIENCE AN INDIVIDUAL WOULD EXPERIENCE WHEN STARTING A CAR AFTER REPLACING THE CARBURETOR. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE JEEP WILL STALL WITHOUT ABY EXPLANATION. OF COURSE, WHEN IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND EXPLAIN THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

PURCHASED VEHICLE, DROVE HOME AND NOTICED THAT WHEN I DISENGAGE THE CLUTCH A LOUD WHINING NOISE APPEARS AND I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK OUT AND IT HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

IT IS A JEEP PATRIOT 2014, WHEN I DRIVE AT HIGH SPEEDS HALF THE ENGINE DIES. WITHOUT DISPLAYING ANY NOTICE OR CODE. I WAS OFF TO A 6-7 TIMES. I'VE TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THIS INDICATES THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SHOW THE FAULT. THE GAS CAP HAS TO LEAVE FOR VARIOUS OCCASIONS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT..AS I WAS TURNING, THE CAR CUT OFF..THERE WAS NO WARNING OR NOISES. JUST DEAD..I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT WITH NO PROBLEMS. .LATER THAT DAY I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND IT CUT OFF AGAIN. IT IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER A FULL DAY THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE MY PROBLEM AND NO SERVICE LIGHTS WERE ON SO THEY GAVE ME MY CAR BACK. TOLD TO WAIT TILL A LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE GIVEN IT 1 WEEK WITH IT CUTTING OFF SEVERAL TIMES. AND YET NO ENGINE LIGHT IS ON..I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR ESPECIALLY AFTER SOMEONE ALMOST HIT ME WHEN IT STALLED. LASTLY, WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, I WAS TURNING AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND IT STALLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. NEXT UP, DEALERSHIP TOMORROW MORNING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE TEMPERATURE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE OIL SENSOR AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MFG AND DEALER INDICATE THAT ALL JEEP PATRIOTS HAVE TRANSMISSION METERING/SENSORING SYSTEM THAT FAILS AND THAT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS. THEY SAY THEY'RE NOT ISSUING A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ENOUGH CRASHES OR FATALITIES. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT GOES ON, THE VEHICLE WILL SLOW DOWN SWIFTLY (EX 70MPH TO 20MPH OR FULL STOP) AND THIS IMPACTS VEHICLE SAFETY - PUTTING SAFETY AND LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF JEEP DRIVERS AT RISK, ALONG WITH PASSENGER AND THEIR FAMILIES. ALL MFG AND DEALER TRY TO DO IS COLLECT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FEE FOR VEHICLE DEFECTS THEY'RE AWARE OF AND HAVE NO FIX FOR. BASICALLY, THEY'RE WILLING TO COLLECT MONEY AND LET PEOPLE CRASH OR DIE. I WAS LAST AFFECTED ON MAY 31, 2014 AND WAS LEFT STRANDED ON THE I-10 IN AZ AT 115 DEGREES IN THE DESERT. I HAVE TO STEER OFF HIGHWAY TO AVOID TRUCKS CRASHING INTO ME. I SUFFERED HEAT EXHAUSTION AND CAN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE DUE TO SAFETY, STRESS, AND ANXIETY. JIM CLICK DEALERSHIP AND THEIR MFG CUSTOMER CARE MGR STILL TRY TO COLLECT MONEY FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT FULLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NO FIX. I'VE DEMANDED THAT THEY RECALL THIS VEHICLE, BUT THEY REFUSE. JIM CLICK SERVICE MGR DAVID SAGERS INDICATES THAT THE MFG IS "TOYING" WITH A SENARIO WHERE THEY LOWER THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVELS IN THESE JEEPS, BUT THAT THEY DON'T REALLY THINK THAT WILL BE A FIX. HE SAYS OTHER MODELS ARE ALSO AFFECTED. PLEASE ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL AND IF THERE IS NO FIX, PLEASE HELP GET ME INTO A NEW VEHICLE. PREVIOUSLY, I WAS STRANDED FOR ANOTHER RECALL ISSUE - THE ACTUATOR FLOW CONTROL VALVE 36016 AND THE TECH FOUND CODE P2017 AND A FAULTY INTAKE MANIFOLD VALVE SENSOR. THIS JEEP IS A DEATH TRAP. *JS

I PURCHASED THIS 2014 PATRIOT FOUR WEEKS AGO WITH, I HAVE NOT EVEN MADE A FIRST PAYMENT. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT MY JEEP LOST ALL POWER. I WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND WOULD HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT IS WAS GOING TO STALL, NO INDICATOR LIGHTS EVER TURNED ON. I PLACED THE JEEP IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. TURNED IT BACK ON, IT WAS NOT IMMEDIATE THERE WAS SOME LAG ON THE START AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TODAY TO BE INSPECTED AFTER A FEW HOURS THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I HAVE INVESTIGATED FURTHER AND FOUND THAT THE 2011/2012 MODELS HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THE PAST. THIS IS A TERRIFYING AND DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE THAT MUST BE RESOLVED. I AM NOW FEARFUL THAT THIS WILL REOCCUR IN MUCH MORE CONGESTED OR HIGH SPEED CONDITIONS. *TR
