Failure Date: 02/19/2021

While driving in motion on a highway, since then and going forward it throws same lights on cluster each 1/4 mile!!! my vehicle throws a few warning lights on the instrument cluster(e. T. C. Aka electronic throttle control, traction control, and check engine. ) the vehicle starts to sputter and completely comes to a stall. I pull over as safe as I can and turn engine off then back on only to see no lights except check engine. Tried to drive home remaining short distance only to get same lights thrown on instrument cluster then sputters and stalls out.

Car loose aceleration ,stall and a ligth came on in dash board on a city st.

3 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/12/2019

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.

4 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2019

2014 Jeep Patriot is stalling when trying to accelerate, especially uphill. It is also stalling after slowing down and then accelerating again. While going uphill recently the vehicle sputtered to climb uphill. Luckily the vehicle has not completely stalled out yet. This mostly happens on city street however when getting onto the on ramp it sputters to accelerate sometimes and also if traffic comes to a stop on the highway and I try to accelerate again. I have no idea what is causing this. I have completed regular maintenance on the car so this has come out of nowhere. I see previously there was a recall for a loss of oil pressure which could cause the vehicle to stall but I'm not sure if my vehicle went through this recall.

11 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 09/20/2018

Vehicle sputters when accelerating as if losing oil pressure. It's significant enough to not want to turn or pullout into traffic unless there is a large and safe distance between other vehicles from fear of stalling or just not accelerating fast enough.

14 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2018

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.

15 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2017

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.

16 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2017

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!.

17 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/18/2016

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.

21 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/17/2014

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.

22 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/19/2013

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.
