Throttle Control Warning Light On problems of the 2011 Jeep Patriot

While driving down our driveway to the main road the electronic stability indicator and the electronic throttle control lights came on. I turned the ignition off and back on then went to the bottom of the road to get on the freeway when the lights came back on and the car went to a limp mode. I had no throttle to get on the freeway and limped back home. Our mechanic could not get the scanner to duplicate the lights. . Since this happened once before, he recommended replacing the throttle body part #4891735ac due to high rate failure at a cost of $533 parts and labor to us. After reading of many complaints we feel this part should be recalled for the safety of occupants before someone gets seriously injured.

While driving through town (under 40 mph), less than half a mile from departure from my house, the engine cut out. Lost engine power and power steering. Electronic throttle control light and the oil temp light both came on. Was able to move the car to a side street, turned the car off for a minute, and then back on. Upon turning on was able to drive home to switch vehicles. Less than two months later the same issue occurred. Engine power and power steering were lost.
