Engine Stall problems of the 2014 Jeep Patriot

2014 Jeep Patriot. Consumer writes in regard to engine balance shaft module. The consumer referenced recall n52/13v-552. The consumer stated the vehicle's engine would stall while driving due to loss of engine oil pressure.

Sitting at a red light, vehicle engine light came on followed by the throttle warning light. Vehicle lost power and engine felt like it would stall. Vehicle would only drive at very low speed to get to safety. After restarting, engine light remained on, vehicle was drivable but soon failed again within a few miles and the throttle warning light came on again. Stability control light may come on as well. Was too concerned with getting to safety to know for sure.

Anytime I accelerate from a stop my 2014 Jeep Patriot jerks and shudders. So I'll be in traffic on the freeway or at a light and once I start going the Jeep will be jumpy and not accelerate. It's getting to the point where it's almost every stop and I feel like eventually the engine will just stall in the middle of a light. Which is definitely is a concern because I drive with a 4 year old most of the time. No engine light has came on so that's also a concern when trying to figure out what is wrong with the vehicle. It's not okay.

Takata recall: as you drive this vehicle the engine will slightly stall out and hiccup. Also causing the transmission to jitter slightly but noticeably so. It does it whether its hot, cold regardless. I feel as if this vehicle is affected by the engine recall because it does stall and stutter while driving.

I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot sport 2. 0l 4cyl wuth a cvt transmission. I bought it used certified in Feb 2018. About a month into owning the vehicle it started to buck and jerk. The car shakes while on idle and there is a loud helicopter sound coming from the back of the car. I took to to 3 different Jeep dealer and nobody could tell me what was wrong with the car. About 3 months after that the engine stalled without any warning. This happened as I turned on my street to go home. I had to wait a few minutes and it turned it back on and drove as if nothing happened. I took it to local mechanic and he could not find anything wrong with the car. The vehicle was not firing any codes nor was there any warning lights on the dash. The latest incident happend on August 18, 2019 drving home from a camping trip. I had 2 passengers in the car with me. The car bucks and jerks while on the highway and the car stalls while im drving the speed limit at 60 mph. Thankfully I was in the slow lane and was able to pull over to the right. After being all shaken up, again I had waitied a few minutes and car started and drove as if noting happend. It was one of the scariest things I have ever experienced. I have taken it to local mechanics and they dint know whats wrong with it. So I am currently drving my car and wondering when the car will stall again. It still bucks and jerks, feels like it will stall so I take my foot off the gas peddle and that seems to help. I no longer drive this car on the highway as I am scared to death of getting into a car accident. I strictly use this car to travel to and from work. I am tired of sending this car to the dealerships and mechanics with no resolutions. I want to trade this car in, but am afraid for the next person. I think this car needs to be recalled. These cars should not be on the road period!!.

I was driving very slowly on a side street near a park. I made a u-turn and as I finished coming out of the turn, my vehicle engine stalled. I was able to coast off of the road. I was nearly hit by another vehicle.

My car is 5 years old. During highway drives (1-2 hours), the engine stalls in the middle of the highway and is unable to maintain speed. This has happened several times. I am concerned about the safety of this vehicle.

I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot with about 33,474 miles when the problem occurred. I was driving going home in a busy street in los angeles when all of a sudden the malfunction indicator light (mil) and electronic stability control (esc) (see photos) light showed up on the dashboard and I stopped because the traffic light turned red. I had 3 passengers with me and they were trying to google what the dashboard light means. When the light turned green, I started to drive but the engine was stalling, as if it doesn't want to drive, no power. So I parked at the curb, turned off the ignition and waited for a few seconds then turned the ignition on again. The esc disappeared from the dashboard but the mil remained lit up. I was able to drive home and the next day, took the vehicle to my mechanic. My mechanic replaced the throttle body and it's working fine now. I noticed the difference in the performance of the vehicle before and after the throttle was changed. I am reporting this to you because I have heard news and got a letter from a law firm informing me of a number of mechanical defects reported about the vehicle. At this point, I am too late to bring it to a Jeep dealer for repair because the vehicle is out of warranty.

I have spent over $1500 on repair of an electrical throttle body and catalytic converter and I still have engine stalling and not being able to accelerate cars slows on its own I can't drive more than 20mph.

The engine stalls sporadically while driving. It also has low oil engine pressure. My car make and model was recalled, however, my specific VIN number was not part of the recall even though I am experiencing the issues related to the recall.

2014 Jeep Patriot stalls out on me. Traveling at speeds anywhere from 30mph to 55 mph. Problem initially started in early 2016. Driving at speed of 55 mph, car will start to vibrate, the engine and the etc (electric throttle control) lights will come on and the engine will completely shut off and stall out. The last stalling out while driving occurred 09/07/17. After restarting the vehicle and attempting to merge onto the road after being on the shoulder, the car will lunge forward and again stall out. After 5-7 attempts and nearly being hit each time I try to get on the main road, the Patriot will finally get me straight home. This has been an ongoing every 3-4 month occurrence for the past year and a half. I have contacted the Jeep dealership where I purchased the vehicle and they tell me they know of no such complaints occurring. This vehicle must be recalled, it is a deathtrap! I am terrified to drive my Patriot but seeing as I have no other option for transportation, I have to say a prayer and drive it to my place of employment. The vehicle has stalled out pulling away from my driveway after backing out, turning the corner at the end of my street and while driving it on a straight road at 55 mph and always in motion. Next time it does happen, since it always occurs more than once, I will record it and send it to the NHTSA. I've been reading many different message boards across the internet this is a common occurrence. This issue needs to be repaired or vehicles bought back or replaced before someone dies!.
