Eight problems related to vehicle speed control have been reported for the 2009 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was in motion and the trans temp light light up and my car began to stale in the middle of the highway. I was traveling alone and 4 hours away . This was very dangerous. I could have been hit by a passing truck. Luckily, I was in the left lane and was able to park on the shoulder. I had to search my safety manual to understand what was happening. I had to wait over 30 mins for the light to disengage and drive 55 on the highway. I took it to the shop and there was no signs. I did a google search and realized this is a common issue with the Jeep Patriots. I have heard horror stories of families with little kids being stranded. Please provide some sort of resolution to this eventually costly issue.
12/12/19 tried to get on I-295 all lights on dash came on including malfunction indicator, esp bas, and others all came on when no lights were on before. Lost power to Jeep on 295 could not go any fast then 25 mph and then stalled; almost rear ended. Could restart Jeep, all dash lights still on, no power past 25 mph and made it off an off ramp where stalled again. Towed Jeep to mechanic where they replaced pcm, intake manifold, and O2 censor. Called Jeep because there is a recall to pcm and was told my VIN not included. 12/26/2019 on I-295 going 70mph and Jeep lost all power with no warning lights this time and had no acceleration. Was in the far left lane and had near miss of being rear ended by tractor trailer. Veered Jeep to breakdown lane and towed to mechanic. Second mechanic repaired ground at g104 on right side of engine bay said is reason for several computerised controls. 1/7/2020 put full tank of gas in vehicle and pulled into intersection and Jeep bucked and stalled out. Called mechanic said possible fuel sensor problem. Jeep Patriots have had issues with pcm and fuel problems but am told my 2009 Jeep not a part of this recall. Jeep is still not running properly and will not drive on highway. Very dangerous and very expansive.

"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 I was driving on a city street all the lights on the dashboard came on and immediately started to to stall and wouldn't drive past 15mph. . Luckily I was able to drive into a wendys parking lot when it stalled completely. . After it stalled completey I shut off the engine and tried to start it up again nothing happened wouldn't turn on and just made a clicking noise. . This is the second time this has happened.
Takata recall: use SUV purchase in 2014 from korner Ford. Air bag light is coming on every 30 seconds for know reason. This should be covered under all warrenties as a safety hazard and not wear and tear. Stationary in public parking lot as I started the ignition. Has been on for 1 week as of to-date 03/31/2016. Verbally told that I had bumper to bumper coverage. Person is no longer there and my coverage is limited.
The transmission over heats and the speed slows down automatic and will cause the car to stall. This happens on all long road trips. The chain drive transmission is at fault. Jeep covered this up by putting censor on cooling part to mass the real fault. This has happen three times always on long mileage trips. Thank you.
My Jeep Patriot has a very unusual problem of going into "limp" mode under normal operating conditions--even after as little of 15 minutes of driving. The "transmission overheat" light comes on, and the vehicle's on-board computer forces the vehicle down to slow, sub-highway speeds--even as slow as 35 mph. The problem has been very dangerous for us (especially on the freeway) and occurs under normal (and even cold temperatures). It is not remedied by replacing the transmission oil or even installing a transmission oil cooler (both which I have tried). I have brought the vehicle to numerous mechanics--including the dealership and a transmission shop--which have all been stumped by the issue. After learning about and thoroughly diagnosing the problem, the transmission shop concluded that something very unusual was wrong with the transmission, and they wrote a statement to that effect. After experiencing this dangerous, frequent problem with my Jeep Patriot, I started a website to collect responses from other Jeep owners. In the short period of time the website has been up (jeeppatriottransmissionoverheat. Com), I have received many submissions from other owners who have the same problem (and all of which have attested that the dealership was ultimately stumped by the problem). The problem is found on vehicle years ranging from 2007-2014. Some owners believe the koho bearings are the root of the problem, but in any event, a complete transmission replacement is the only known remedy. After researching this problem thoroughly, as well as reviewing existing recalls on the vehicle, I am now confident that the problem is widespread (exists on 1,000+ Patriots), is found on new and used Patriots of all mileages, is very dangerous, and has been ignored by Jeep. It is my opinion that a safety recall should be issued by the NHTSA, after conducting its own research.
