Six problems related to automatic transmission control module have been reported for the 2009 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
"takata recall" ever since I purchased this vehicle it has been slow to accelerate. The transmission slips every now and then if I accelerate to quickly after the car was in park. When at highway speed, sometimes the car needs to be shut off in other for it to shift in gear properly again. The check engine light stays on for tcm control no matter what I do. There has to be something defective in connection with the power train.
While driving on the interstate suddenly without any "warning" all the dash lights battery, engine, ect came on and the engine stalled. Would not drive or re-start just died. Suggested that it is the computer/pcm. . .
Little by little the electrical to my car has been going. Im the first owner and first the front power windows, then the horn and then the lights stopped working. Then my car started stalling out of no where when I would accelerate. They say its the pcm but I never abused and always took care of my car.
The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Patriot. While stopped at a traffic stop, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure recurred while driving at different speeds. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id number: 08v528000 (power train:automatic transmission:control module (tcm, pcm)) that could have been related to the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

Vehicle will stall with no/little warning. Stalls generally occur during wet and/or humid weather conditions, however does also occur during dry conditions. Stalls usually occur during idling while the vehicle is in gear (stopped at intersections or in traffic), but can also occur during initial acceleration from a stop. This issue has been occurring since early 2012 and is increasing in frequency. Chrysler has a related recall (08v528000, "power train:automatic transmission:control module (tcm, pcm)"), which seems to exactly describe this failure, however Chrysler claims that this specific vehicle is not included in the recall.
