Four problems related to electronic stability control have been reported for the 2010 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving, loss of power. Was driving 60 mph, lost power and car would not accelerate, but rpms would hit 6k. Had to change altenator. With brand new altenator I got 90 miles . Then car would only hit 20 mph , and rpms would hit 6k with no acceleration. Pull over and sit 5 minutes then car would accelerate normal. But the problem happens everytime I start car and go to drive. Have read that the has been an ecu and other issues and recalls for it with many others complaining. I was on highway. There seems to be an issue with the radio as it with the vehicle turned off and no key in ignition, the stereo makes noise like it's trying to work. Feel veryvunsage and it seems to be a manufacturing issue as the vehicle only has 90k miles .
Vehicle in motion - cut off/loss of power when accelerating from ramp onto busy highway with my 2 year old in vehicle [cause unknown, vehicle is not throwing any codes] vehicle in going from stationary to in motion - when going to make a left turn out of a shopping center car staled with me and my 2 year old in it, with on coming traffic. Quickly put car in park, car would not start, had a long start, electrical system freaked out, I could not stop it by turning off the key, key wouldnt move. [unknown cause] vehicle in motion - bucking and staling after filling up with gas [cause unknown, could be vapor/liquid separator valve] vehicle stationary - when fueling, after removing nozzle sound of air being sucked into the gas tank [vapor/liquid separator valve at top of fuel tank] vehicle stationary/running - at idle car randomly drops rpms and tries to stall [unknown cause] vehicle in motion - grinding sound while driving, loss in the ability to respond quickly to pushing on gas pedal, causing an overload on cvt transmission [unknown cause, maybe drive train] vehicle in motion - when driving whining sound [unknown cause] mixed advice from mechanic some say could be cvt transmission others have cited technical repair notice for whining of power steering. This has been going on randomly since Feb 2018.
Abs light, traction control light come on intermittently. Took to dealer, replaced abs module and pump cost of $!,185. 00 took more than 10 days to repair. Many such safety issues just like this listed on computer forums.
The fan on the heater quit working and smoke came fr poo m around the three knobs for the heater and air conditioner. This has happened twice. I just replaced it again last week.
