general problems of the 2014 Jeep Patriot - part 1

I was going to work at 5am I came to a red light, and the light turn green I press the gas to go there was no acceleration the car rolled backwards. I turned vehicle off. And restarted. Still no acceleration. I moved the gear into first (this an auto vehicle). With that I catches enough to coarse. Not enough acceleration to pull into the driveway. I had gone into reverse just to get in. I had it looked at and it's the cvt transmission for my 2014 Jeep Patriot the cost for repairs 5,000 to 6,000. The failure mileage130,000.

When I pull up somewhere and apply brakes it will start jerking and act like it wants to go but if I put the Jeep in park or neutral it stops. It's like the whole Jeep will lunge forward when I am sitting there with my foot on the brake and it just feels like it's going to take off or die. It can't make up its mind.

Engine jerking really had while vehicle is in drive and idle hard while sitting still.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while driving 70 mph on a long road trip, the vehicle suddenly failed to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal with the transmission temperature message displayed. The vehicle was turned off and the contact reset the transmission per the instructions in the owner’s manual. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle operated normally. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred months later during normal highway driving. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 95,000.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated the when vehicle was parked position with the key in the ignition and the engine the noticed that the vehicle was moving independently. The contact immediately reach for the vehicle door handle the vehicle independently accelerated and proceeded to move forward down, the vehicle hit a fence went down a hill, the vehicle came to a stop when it crashed into the a tree, and the engine was on . The contact was able to go into the passenger doo, the contact turned the vehicle engine off. The vehicle was towed to the contact insurance lot. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was 138,486. Li.

Engine stalled, electrical system light and check engine light came on car randomly accelerated and decelerated similar to previous posts about the issues on 2014 Jeep Patriot.

The cvt transmission will make a loud whine and not go over 40 mph . Usual happens after about 30 min of driving and will not show any codes. This happens during acceleration and you have to pull over and wait before it will resume somewhat normal operation .

When I am driving on the freeway or street the car seems that wants to stop and feel that is loosing power; than it does like a jumper and keep going and it has happened many times. The dealer seems that do not find anything. Also the back door of the car keep getting lock and not able to open.

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.

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 needed to replace my throttle body unit on this car at 75,000 miles. The car is only 5 years old. I have seen numerous complaints about this same issue. 3 lights came the electronic stability control, malfunction indicator (check engine), and the electronic throttle control. My car could not surpass 30 mph which was incredibly dangerous on the highway. Additionally, the car was jerky and would jerk forward even when braking. This seems to be a recurring/known issue. I believe a recall of this specific part is needed.

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.

Every summer since I bought the car the cvt transmission overheats when driving at speeds ove 60mph on the highway. Several times my vehicle has lost power and im forced to the roadside to wait until it cools down. It happened to me in chicago once where there is no shoulder to the thruway and I thought I was going to be killed. Ive had it to the dealership at least 6 times for this problem and have had no resolve. The car has currently been at the dealership for over a month now and ive also been dealing with Jeep customer car and all they keep telling me is that they cant do anything about it. Im lost at this point. I think this may fall under the lemon law but Jeep will not work on anything with me. Please help.

I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot latitude that has 48100 miles on it . Its was fine up until know where it will stall out while driving and shut down and the stability light would come on . I would pull over and the car would restart . It has been happening a lot and its scary not to know when it will happen again . Someone is going to get killed if the problem is not fixed . Jeep should have a recall on the cars and fix the problem . The problem has happened while turning a corner and on streets and then went to stall out on a highway.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. While driving 75 mph the transmission warning indicator illuminated and vehicle decelerated however worked as designed after ten minutes. The vehicle was taken to gary miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram 5746 peach st, erie, PA 16509 (814) 868-3635 where diagnosed a transmission flush was needed. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted who referred contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage 49,000. The VIN was not available. Ap.

Patriot will shake/vibrate really bad when in drive and sitting idle (like at a red light with the foot on the brake). If I place it in park, neutral or start driving the heavy vibration goes away.

When driving down the highway my Jeep Patriot shifts hard when going up hills or shifting.

I was driving on the freeway doing 65 and the jerked hard and the power of the car droped down to about 20 mph almost causing me to get into a crash with cars behind me a red lighing bolt lite up on the dash as this was happening and at that same time the check engine light came on if I pressed on the gas nothing but rpm went up and the car would not go over 20 mph the lights stopped and the car went back to normal barely making it home same thing happened again it's the etc light check engine light and esc stability control light all come on and you lose power to acelrate.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated while driving at any speed, the vehicle accelerated. The contact stated that an unknown warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the miller's Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram dealer (304-263-8821 , located at 48 kelly island rd, martinsburg, wv 25401) where it was diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000. Fe.

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.

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.

I am writing in regards to an issue that has been happening with my Jeep Patriot that upon further research seems to be plaguing many Patriot owners as well with no solution. Randomly my vehicle would lose acceleration and the electronic throttle control light would light. When this would happen I would lose the power to accelerate and would have to pull over and restart the vehicle. Once restarted the problem would no longer be there as if it didn't happen. Sometimes the 4wd and traction control light would ignite during these episodes. I have taken the vehicle in for diagnostics, but nothing popped on their end and I have been told that the only way for them to know what is wrong is if it happens when they have it. Being there can be a week or more between episodes this isn't feasible. This issue needs to be addressed and fixed by the manufacturer being it's dangerous for the driver and passengers. Just two weeks ago my vehicle had this episode occur while crossing an intersection. Thankfully I managed to make it through the intersection without incident but being a pregnant mother driving her toddler around this situation could of cost us our lives. Tonight my car did the same and I nearly got hit because I lost acceleration suddenly on a 55mph road. Thankfully I was able to pull into a safe place but now my vehicle is no longer drivable and will have to be towed to be fixed. This vehicle only has 72000 miles on it .

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled and the transmission warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to pine belt Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (401 broadway dr, hattiesburg, ms 39401, (601) 544-2430) where the wheel sensors, brakes, wheel bearing, a line going towards the transmission, abs, and traction sensors were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and the contact was informed that the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 206,000.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that the check engine indicator would illuminate sporadically. Also, while driving various speeds with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle would not accelerate. The contact would have to pull over, wait a couple of minutes, and restart the vehicle to continue driving normally. The contact also stated that the electronic control throttle indicator and the malfunction indicator lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to greenway motors (300 bedford rd, morris, IL 60450, (815) 942-3400) where it underwent several unknown repairs, but the failures recurred. The vehicle was not repaired again. The manufacturer was notified. The cause of the failures were not disclosed. The failure mileage was 25,625.

While parked and idling, electronic systems started malfunctioning - indicator lights, wipers, brake booster, radio - all turned on with or without the key in the ignition. Smoke began to pour from the totally integrated power module (tipm) in the engine compartment, which then briefly stared on fire. Only disconnecting the battery allowed the module to cool down and stop smoking.

Electronic throttle control indicator light comes on a t highway speed with resulting loss of power- creating dangerous situation.

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.

Lost power when moving away from a signal light and making a left hand turn. The vehicle would only accelerate slowly. I was almost rear ended by the car behind us. Pulled into a parking lot and turned the vehicle off and then back on and the vehicle seemed ok and was able to drive home about 10 miles. Very scary! only 7,400 miles on vehicle.

When vehicle operates in mountainous highways requiring 3000-3500 rpm for continuous long grade, or a series of smaller grades which heat the transmission. The computer is automatically programed to shut down the vehicle . This occurs without regards traffic, road conditions or safety. We bought the vehicle last year and have recorded 55 separate occasions of such operating hazards. This activity leaves the stranded vehicle at the edge of the roadway for prolonged periods of time as traffic flies by at excess of 65 mph or higher. The stranded vehicle represents a hazard to both the occupants of the vehicle as well as the vehicles in transit nearby. These stops for the vehicle can be as long as thirty minutes for cool down. The dangers posed by this activity are greatly enhanced when this occurs at night. Traffic stopped with lights at roads edge are often confused with a moving vehicle and drivers plow into the rear of the stranded vehicle unknowing it is at a dead stop. These computer generated stops are inherently dangerous. The manufacturer is aware an unable to make the drive line modifications that would eliminate the dangers posed by this defect in engineering. It is hard to believe that this problem was not made aware to the manufacturer in testing trials of these particular vehicles. Please help us with this lemon!!!.

On numerous occasions, the transmission will overheat, indicated by a high pitch wine and then a warning light while at freeway speed. On my vehicle it does not seem to matter what the ambient temperature is. This then involves me sitting at the side of the highway, which is a huge safety concern. Dealers do not or will not say there is a problem after checking the diagnostics, when it is plainly evident based on a wealth of internet sites tis is a common problem with the cvt transmission, particularly in a Jeep Patriot. This issue is happening with more frequent occurrences as time goes on. My issues started at 2500 miles, I am at 86,500 now. I can say that the issue has never started while driving on city streets, only happens at 60+ with as low as 2500 rpm indicated on the tachometer.

After driving on the highway for about 2-3 hours, the transmission overheats and the car speed is forced down to about 35-40 mph. This is very dangerous when vehicles are traveling behind me and the car is effectively slamming on the brakes. While the vehicle may be operating as designed when the transmission overheats, it shouldn't overheat after 2-3 hours of highway driving. I am not hauling heavy cargo or exceeding the posted speed limits.

My Jeep overheats regularly, no towing just regular colorado hwy driving, makes high pitched whining sounds, and loses power. I have to pull over and wait for the light to go off, resume driving, and pull over again when the light comes on. Over and over this happens. Dealership says no error code on the engine and there is nothing they can do.

Transmission overheats & vehicle shuts down when driving at speeds over 60mph on the highway. Forced to pull off the roadside to wait until it cools down. Its happened to me on several occasions where there was barely any shoulder along the highway, I thought my granddaughter & I were going to be killed. Ive had it to the dealership mutliple times for this problem since purchasing it from dealership and have had no resolve. On one occasion the Jeep had been at the dealership for a month now and all they kept telling me is that they cant do anything about it. Current situation - last month (March) I am unable to drive the Jeep over 20 mph. I've contacted the dealership multiple times regarding this and I can't get anyone to give me an answer if they are going to take care of the transmission. I am angry at this point. We've been complaining about the transmission to the dealership since we purchased it now I am without a vehicle and I work in healthcare. I think this may fall under the lemon law. It might be time to contact an attorney. Please help.

I was driving down the interstate and my transmission overheat light came on, without warning, the Jeep slowed to 40. Very dangerous on the interstate where the speed limit is 75. Luckily I was in the right lane and pulled over. I could have been rear ended and killed. This is very dangerous!!! dealer said since there were not any codes showing, they could not fix it.

The vehicle will not start from a stationary position including any electrical except for "no bus" on the dashboard. This began around 34,500 miles in August 2016. I took my vehicle the local Jeep dealership and they could not recreate the issue. I returned in December to the dealership for the same issue and nothing could be found. In February of 2017 I was able to leave the vehicle for 3 days but still nothing could be found. This does not occur every time but the only temporary solution is to disconnect and reconnect the battery, which was what I used until I was able to have it towed in. In January of 2018 I finally was able to have it towed to the closest dealership when the issue occurred. The final solution was that the totally integrated power module was replaced.
