general problems of the 2014 Jeep Patriot

My engine light and traction light and red lightning bolt light is on and it’s making the vehicle run really hard and shake and almost stall out and won’t go over 20 miles per hour.

Driving normal when I lost control of the throttle Jeep went into limp mode, the etc , traction control, and check engine lights came on, got a uo4o1 code, if I was on the interstate could have been bad when it went into limp mode, the electronic throttle control was bad.

Driving normal then suddenly power loss, Jeep went into acceleration then loss of power, the etc , traction control, and check engine lights came on, got a uo4o1 code, I was on the interstate with my son in the car. We were lucky to exit before horrible consequences. The electronic throttle control was bad.

Lightning bolt symbol, check engine light and traction control lights came on and vehicle went into limp mode while taking my 3 yr old to pre school. Scans say vacuum leak/throttle body. This is a recurrent problem with these cars and has had recalls on certain ones. Almost didnt make it where I was going. . . Needs to be addresses on this model too. My car only has 76,721 miles.

As my wife was heading to a doctor's appointment the electronic throttle body failed while she was on a busy highway during rush hour. The car had 51,524 miles on it. This is the second time that this part has failed. The first time was a little less than 40,000 miles. When this fails the vehicle loses power and becomes a rear-end collision hazard. I also own a 2016 Jeep Patriot and its throttle body failed at a little less than 40,000 miles.

I believe the roll over safety valve inside the gas tank is faulty, and have noticed many others having the same issue in forums. The vehicle will not accept fuel, and acts as if it is full. Sometimes if you hit the bottom of the fuel tank with a rubber mallet, the valve will unstick and accept fuel again for a short while.

After filling up my vehicle the car studders and stop in traffic. When trying to move forward by pressing the gas it won't move until I turn the car completely off. Once I restart the vehicle it moves again. This is hazardous to my family and self.

Traveling 40 mph engine misfires check engine, throttle body, and traction warning lights on. Vehicle will not accelerate. Turn off engine resets throttle body and traction control warning lights check engine light remains on vehicle accelerates normally. Check engine code = u0401 invalid data received from engine control module/powertrain control module a. 84,000 miles.

Driving at approx. 40 mph, dash lights came on pwoer train skid warning, 4wd, lightning icon power dropped unable to go more than 20 mph extremely unsafe.

My 2014 Jeep Patriot vehicle started to loose engine power really fast and started to jerk and slow down on it's own barely any power. Two dash trouble lights came on. A engine trouble light and a lighting bolt trouble light both came on. I immediately barely pulled the car into an empty parking lot close by. Had I been on a highway traveling a higher speed area this would have been disastrous ! I was able to shut the car off and restart the car after waiting and luckily there was an auto parts store nearby. Upon checking the dash lights with their computer unit it was determined it was a failed throttle control unit . After it was checked a day later at the local Jeep dealer it was determined the throttle unit did fail. Since I only had 20k miles but beyond the 3 year limit warranty they would not cover the expensive repair. I feel this should be a Jeep safety recall on this part because the replacement part has been modified from the original. Due to the modification I had to also purchase a new wire harness even though the older one was probably fine but wouldn't fit the newer modified replacement throttle unit. When this throttle unit fails your vehicle gets no gas so it almost shuts down immediately ! in confidence I was told by several dealer maintenance people this isn't a rare problem, but the chryslers Jeep CO. Refused to absorb any liability or payment toward this replacement repair after I contacted them . This is strange that the replacement part has been modified or updated . . . . . Why ? the original unit is defective is my guess and should be recalled on all Jeep products before a serious accident happens !.

Throttle track and engine light come on and off. Car will not accelerate no more than 30 rpm when it happens it may also accelerate on its own when foot on break .

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that the vehicle did not pass inspection because the fuel system failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the ecm software needed to be flashed. The vehicle was taken to sansone Chrysler Jeep Dodge (100, 90 us-1, avenel, NJ 07001, (732) 815-2424) where it was diagnosed that a software update was needed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 53,299. The VIN was invalid.

Pcm needing to be �updated� and now my car is stopping while driving. The battery, traction control, and engine light all went off at the same time and stopped my car. Lost control of steering and it would not go over 20mph. How dangerous!! read online that there are hundreds of the same complaints and Jeep hasn't made this a recall yet? what a shame. Pathetic. Happened 5/17/19 though this file isn't accepting 2019 dates. . ???.

When turning on a highway the vehicle accelerated on its own the brakes did not stop it . I almost hit a tree the vehicle slowed after hitting the isle to get off the road. The dealership said the throttle body needed to be replaced had it replaced the vehicle has 35000 miles on it very dangerous situation.

I was driving 60mph and my check engine light, throttle control light and abs light kick on. Jeep drops down to 40 mph and will not accelerate, going uphill it drops to about 20 mph. If you go to stop when these lights are on the vehicle lurches forward and it hard idles. Throws codes of electronic throttle control malfunction. Vehicle is not safe to drive and dealer recommends not driving it. This is dangerous and there should be a recall.

When driving, car will suddenly shut down, and the red lightning bolt will come on as well as the traction control. The check engine light came on as well. It will be fine for a couple days, and then out of nowhere the issue will happen again. This is extremely dangerous as to where I lose control is unknown. I have researched this issue, and have found many people with this same issue. I see a lawsuit waiting to happen. I only have 51,000 miles on my car. This is ridiculous.

While driving, throttle sensor light comes on along with the engine light, the traction control light, and four wheel drive light. Total loss of power and engine begins to flutter to where it wants to stall. Have to stop on the side of the road and shut the Jeep off and attempt to regain power, to which the same thing happens again.

The throttle body needs replacing after suddenly losing power to the vehicle. The red light comes on along with the check engine. Simple research shows this is a well known problem, yet Jeep wants over $800 to replace it. This is truly deceptive and should be replaced on all vehicles without cost particularly given how dangerous of a situation it creates without advanced warning.

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.

Loss of power upon acceleration. Diagnostic revealed defective throttle body and accelerator pedal sensor requiring replacement. Mechanic says it is a very common problem with 2014 Jeep Patriot and that they have replaced many on this vehicle.

My 2014 Jeep Patriot will not accelerate and has hesitation after acceleration at a stop signal or sign. I use "premium" gas, thinking that regular gas was the issue. I have almost been in 2 separate accidents, one recent situation on 8/13/2018 when my Patriot "hesitated" after turning onto a road with oncoming traffic. My vehicle would not accelerate causing the person behind me to "hard brake" to not hit me, as well as the driver behind him. I have only had this vehicle for 4 months and do not feel this is a safe vehicle, especially driving in city traffic.

The vehicle starts to rev up really high and then begins to put alone turn it off the light goes out the five minutes into driving and comes back on and almost cuts off in mid traffic.

My 2014 Jeep Patriot will not accelerate without having hesitation. The vehicle has 64,000 miles on it. When you press on the gas whether you are moving or stopped, it almost stalls and then has to reset it self to go above 30mph. The etc light comes on and then disappears. This has happened all week. Seeing how many people have had this issue on this site and others, there should definitely be a recall. This is a dangerous and scary situation for a vehicle that is not even 5 years old to slow and/or stop while you are trying to accelerate.

The dash lights of a lighting bolt and traction control come on. The Jeep starts lurching and sputtering. The max speed goes to about 25 miles per hours. This has happened 5 times and the dealers can't tell me what's wrong, no codes appear. This is very unsafe and I am paying for a vehicle that can't be driven.

Rollover valve in fuel tank sticks, causing gas pump to constantly shut off when filling tank. It is a known issue to Jeep/Chrysler, but they will not issue recall for the Jeep Patriot.

Vehicle lost power and went into limp mode due to faulty throttle body. Per research and mechanics statement there is known issues with the cheap, poor made throttle body in this vehicle.

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.

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.

The electronic throttle control on my 2014 Jeep Patriot latitude malfunctioned. While attempt to start the vehicle it bang to shake violently and bucked as I attempted to move it forward. The car has fewer than 50,000 miles on it. The electronic throttle control needed to be replaced per the dealers diagnostics. This was not covered under my powertrain warranty and, from what I've heard, is a common issue. I hope this results in a recall as this could have been dangerous had it happened once I was traveling.

I purchased this vehicle with 34, 000 miles Dec 2015. It ran well until 3000 mi into driving it, some days it would not start. It would take me multiple attempts of turning the ignition. . . . . . No cranking . . . . . Just nothing. So I took it to the dealer I purchased it from and they said it started fine, no problems. Well it continued to occur without any notice and I returned to the dealer 5000 mi. Later and they said for an xtra $40. 00 they could perform a diagnostic test! I explained I felt they should do that at their expense since I only bought the car in Dec. They declined and said if I were change my mind they would run a test. . . . . 6 months later the car sometimes starts and now its loosing power on hills and highway. . . . . Poor pickup. . . . Im fedup and ready to sell this vehicle and I have extended warranty on this car that im paying for and cant even depend on it.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel would pulled to the right without warning causing the tires to rub against the vehicle. The engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where an alignment and four wheel rotation was completed. The failure was not corrected. In addition, the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the oil warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel cover failed and needed to be replaced. The failure recurred twice. The contact then noticed while the vehicle was parked a puddle of oil on the ground. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000. Aw.

Traveling east on hy89 at approx 08:30 with cc set at 70. On 6% uphill grade rpm dropped to 2300 and speed to about 35, pressed acceler and fuel shut off. Car has auto trans with cvt trans. Fiddled with gear shift and acceleration resumed. On the way back had same experience but when rpm started to drop, turned off cc and operation was normal. No problems with smaller hills. Made same trip several times prior with rpm around 3500 and speed about 60 in same spots.
