general problems of the 2014 Jeep Patriot - part 2

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. While driving, the vehicle started losing acceleration and power. The contact heard a noise coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who suggested the vehicle be taken to a dealer. The vehicle was taken to zeigler Chrysler Dodge ram (3939 stadium dr, kalamazoo, mi 49008, (269) 743-4142) where it took several days to be serviced. The manufacturer was contacted and provided a case number. The contact stated that there was no recall for the failure and stated that the engine contained debris, which caused it to seize. Through online research, the contact discovered that this was a wide spread issue. The contact was still waiting to hear back from the manufacturer and the dealer regarding the next steps. The failure mileage was 80,100.

I took the car to have a diagnostic test done and it said the throttle body control and my car loses power without notice.

I have the same exact problem as everyone else. The throttle lightning bolt flashes, car wont shift or do more than 35. It wont respond to accelerating. It jerks all over the place when at a low speed. I went off of the road in the snow but was ok. When it first started it kicked into a lower gear, jerked and the car slid. You are going to get people killed ignoring this and now here is written proof that you have been warned. Do hear that, Chrysler? because youre about to.

Same complain as everyone else. My Jeep Patriot 2014 suddenly lost power and started jerking while driving not allowing me to accelerate. Three lights came on the throttle control warning light, engine and traction control light. Replaced throttle body my self and I want my dang recall or a lawsuit filed because this could cause a major accident and lifes are involved.

I've had 3 fuel pumps replaced and countless times my car hasn't started just because like now, which brought me here. This needs a recall immediately but every time I look there isn't one. I bought this car brand new in 2014 and it still only has 45,539 miles on it. A week ago I started my car & then it turned off. Luckily I was at I've already had to replace the throttle body so with all of this we need a recall.

My Jeep on numerous occasions now has completely shut off the engine. The moments I'm in traffic are lucky, because when it happened on the freeway, I lost my s@$t. I was in a very scary situation and extremely lucky to have had pulled away without being or causing an accident. Seems to happen when I'm in traffic, at slow moving speeds, and on the freeway, intermittently. Sometimes it will kick back on before I have to pull off. But always in traffic if it happens it will completely shut off. No real pattern at all, just random.

Many, many times this Jeep has overheated while driving up steep grades and all power shuts down the car eventually stops.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot latitude 4x4. The contact stated that while driving various speeds the vehicle seized. No warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed, diagnosed and the crank shaft repaired by a independent mechanic. The manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000. Nd.

Already on the highway driving at 70 mph, I noticed that it was harder to accelerate. I was pushing down on the gas pedal and my Jeep was not picking up any speed. The tachometer was pushing the line in read between 7 & 8 as I would try to accelerate. Couple days later driving in town, it did it again only it took awhile to accelerate and get to 30-40 mph. Engine light came on and immediately took it to auto-zone to have it diagnosed. They told me to unplug the battery and have it sit for a couple of days to see if the engine light came off. Week later I'm still stuck without my vehicle. Reported it to mopar and they advised me to take it to the dealership and have it fixed. My Jeep only has under 90k miles on it. I'm hoping this issue becomes a recall being that the stories have begun to surface late November 2018.

While driving my car began jerking and the throttle control indicator light began flashing and my car lost power unable to accelerate. This is the second time this has happened to this car, the first time being 1 year prior coming down a mountain. It was fixed and now here I am again with the same problem!.

Jeep slowed down to 20 mph engine light, electronic stability control light and electronic throttle control light came on was on interstate going 70 mph scared the crap out of me . Pulled over and restarted Jeep and went on vehicle was running rough lights still on got to exit . And went to auto store they checked the codes and took it to dealer and throttle body and gasket and throttle body assembly have to be replaced cost of 490. 43 the dealer auto store code machine read invalid data received from engine control module power train control module a. Comfimed.

While driving in the city at about 30 mph my etc light comes on and car starts to slow and will not let me accelerate. Also as soon as I stop and start to go my car moves very slowly about 10mph and sometimes the etc light and stability control light will come on and my car will not accelerate over 15/20mph at all until I stop and try to go again. Sometimes it's so bad that I have to stop and shut off my car and start it again for it to fix itself. This is very dangerous especially when going across the road or turning when other cars are coming. Never mind how dang it is if it is to happen on the highway, which I have avoided since I don't feel like dying anytime soon. Everything I read on the internet is saying that it's been happening to many people that have 2014 Jeep Patriots. This is honestly something that is going to get someone seriously hurt and at no fault of their own. I've also read about a recall on an engine part from 2013 in the 2014 Patriots with a 2. 4l engine and I am just wondering why when I look up recalls for my car that specific one does not show up. If something is wrong and needs to be replaced owners should be notified before someone gets hurt.

Takata recall this is the 2nd time this happened 3 months apart. Today I was going 45 mph driving for 3 minutes and my track light, battery light, and engine light came on and I lost pressure in the acceleration and could only move 20 mph. I pulled over to turn my car off and back on, then it worked like nothing was wrong. This also has happened 3 months ago on the bypass going 70 mph and I had children in the car. I thought we were going to die. So we pulled off the road to let it cool down and all the lights went away and ran as if nothing was wrong. Very scary.

As I was driving, the car would display the etc and malfunction mil lights on dash and abruptly stop running ! this happened more than 7 times with no prior warning. I was almost killed when my car suddenly lost all power while driving 60ish mph on the highway and was barely able to coast over. After getting car towed to Jeep dealer, I saw other Patriots there exhibiting the same problem. I only have a little over 30k miles yet had to replace the electronic throttle totalling over $850. Now, a few months later and less than 150 miles driven, I had my vehicle completely lose all power as I was driving 45 mph in heavy city traffic. I am petrified to drive this death trap.

Car has less than 30k miles. Issue has been recurrent since purchasing-- now, its to the point that we are too afraid to drive death trap. Car engine dies while driving and vehicle is inoperable. While driving on the highway at approximately 60 mph, the car completely stopped I was barely able to get it over onto the shoulder. Check engine and electronic throttle control lights were on. Now, the problem occurs more frequently. There's no warning prior to car completely dying. This has happened twice on the highway almost getting us killed. It also occurred while driving down side sides/main roads since we now fear driving on the highway people will be killed by this - if they haven't been so far.

Just 15,983 miles on this vehicle. When driving and accelerating the engine loses power and the lightening bolt comes on the instrument cluster. It loses power in traffic. At 70 mph. All of this. It appears to be the throttle body. Looking around the internet, it is a very common issue. Ridiculous at just 15,983 miles.

Electronic throttle light flicked on and off on four separate occasions while accelerating. Vehicle seemed to rev up and almost bottom out. Diagnosed by independent service shop as faulty electronic throttle. Repair cost was approximately $742.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. While driving 60 mph with the accelerator pedal depressed, the speed independently decreased to 20 mph. The etc (electronic throttle control) indicator illuminated. The vehicle was shut off for approximately one hour and it restarted on the first attempt; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired.

At 27,900 miles the plastic gears in the throttle body failed, causing an unexpected loss of power while in traffic and climbing a hill. I did my research and learned that this issue has existed since 2007 with no permanent solution. This manifests itself as an intermittent loss of power until the electronic throttle control instrument panel light comes on at which point I took it to the dealer and they replaced the throttle body. There is an excellent video by motor city mechanic on youtube that explains this issue in detail. It's only a matter of time before one of these fails at speed and someone is killed.

First - oil is changed on time and spark plugs with coils were replaced. Maintenance is done on the car. Approximately at around 58k miles, the car began to "skip" when accelerating when it reaches over 20 mph and reaching between 3-4 rpm. This was a random occurrence. Today at 60k miles, the car on cruise control, on a small incline in the road, came to an almost complete stop (from 65 mph) and then accelerated as if I stomped on the gas - reaching almost 5 rpm before I was able to cancel the cruise control. The lights flashed briefly on the dash board but no error messages remained light. I called a reputable repair guy and without error lights there isn't much anyone can tell you. There are several other threads about this issue but nothing being done by Chrysler due to the limited number of accidents. My incident today occurred during rush hour traffic and I could very well have been rear-ended or rear-ended someone else. Will be contacting the dealership first thing in the morning but am very concerned as I work over 20 minutes away from my home. Also verified no recalls by calling 1-800-247-9753 for this issue.

The contact owned a 2014 Jeep Patriot. While driving approximately 65 mph exiting the highway, the contact noticed smoke inside the vehicle. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road, exited the vehicle, and noticed smoke under the hood. The engine burst into flames and black smoke appeared. The fire department extinguished the fire. A fire report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a towing company lot and deemed destroyed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 31,500.

Recall with no remedy yet. In addition we have experienced loss of power in the car. I have children. I don't feel it is safe for me to drive with them.

My husband and I purchased a 2014 Jeep Patriot at the end of 2013. I use the vehicle to drive from home to work and back. Currently it has 21458 miles. From the start the clock has been dropping time. I have taken it back to the dealer to get the clock fixed. After being fixed it still continued to drop time but before I could return it to the dealer another problem arose. On 9/28/2016 the engine would cut out each time it was started. It had to be towed to the dealer for repair. They said the wcm was bad, this not only caused the engine to cut out but also cause the clock to lose time. Now here we are again with the same problem. 11/15/2016 - when started the engine cuts out but within a few hours or the next day I can start it up but this time did not cut out. This problem has made me very uneasy. I am taking a chance when I leave home. It just so happened when both incidents occurred I have been lucky enough to be at home.

The transmission fill pipe broke off and was hanging under the car. Luckily we noticed that something was hanging off the car while it was parked, my boyfriend reached under the car to see what it was and it came off in his hand. Had it fallen off while the car was in motion it could have caused an accident or it could have fallen off and we would have never noticed it and had problems with the transmission at some point. The dealership service department pretended like they'd never hear of this happening before but a quick internet search shows that this is an issue that many Patriot and caliber owners have experienced. I also suspect that a lot of these have fallen off without the owners even realizing it.

My engine light has been popping on and off for the last 6 weeks. Could not find the issue that was causing it. Now the last 2 weeks my dash light that signals a electrical throttle issue. It was having issues of gaining speed and decelerating. Yesterday August 18th it put my Jeep into 4 wheel drive and my engine light plus the throttle light came on. I could not move my Jeep I was fortunate that I was sitting still in a parking lot. I had only returned to my car after work and turned it on and this is what it did. It is at the repair shop now waiting on what the issue is and how it cam about. .
