Three problems related to vsa warning light on have been reported for the 2015 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In Dec of 2017 I started driving my car and all of a sudden while driving I lost power and wouldn't accelerate. I had it towed to the dealer and the dealer notified me it was the etc control. Today 02/05/20 I got in my car to leave for work and 5 mins into driving again lights turn on check engine light, etc light (lightening bolt), and stability light came on and again lost power and went from 25 mph to 5 mph. I had to pull over and turn off my car and start it again to be able to get it to my house but had to do this 3 times to get it to my house which was 5 mins away. This is the 2nd time within 2year that this is happening to me. There is so many complaints regarding this on this vehicle. We buy a car for it to be reliable to go to and from work instead im constantly driving nervously wondering if ill be on a high way going from 60 mph to 10 mph and if someone will crash into me. I can provide dealer reports if needed.
My abs and electric stability control sensors lights have been over for the past couple of weeks. My brakes has been giving me some resistance and sometimes it's hard to press the brake pedal.
I was driving on a freeway (about 60 miles per hour) and all of a sudden my car 's lights on the dashboard came on (engine, electronic stability, lightening bolt) the power seemed to be draining from my vehicle, I could not longer accelerate. I almost got hit in the back, luckily there was an exit that was close so the car behind me was able to take a forced exit to avoid from hitting me. Unable to determine what happened, I turned on my hazards and pull over on the shoulder and turned my car off. I waited for about 10 minutes and hesitantly decided to try to restart the car. I was able to restart it, only to go about 2 miles and it happen again. I exited the freeway and took back streets all the way home to keep me from getting into a wreck. This continued to happen about 4 times until I made it home and park it. This car has been a headache ever since I bought it brand new. One month after I bought it, the gas tank sunk and pretty much fell into the car so deep that I could no longer get the pump to the tank to fill gas. About a week after that, the wheels started squealing, and this was unable to be fixed. The bolts that are used under the hood do not fit the car so things would constantly loosen as I drove it and eventually are repositioned even though they are replaced by the service departments at the Jeep dealerships. There's substance much like adhesive glue throughout the car on certain parts which doesn't make sense if this car was bought brand new. All around poorly made car, you will end up paying the double the amount valued based on the repairs. Horrible. Hold this maker accountable, there should be a recall on this vehicle. Lives are at danger.
