Car Will Not Accelerate Problems of Jeep Patriot

While driving, loss of power. Was driving 60 mph, lost power and car would not accelerate, but rpms would hit 6k. Had to change altenator. With brand new altenator I got 90 miles . Then car would only hit 20 mph , and rpms would hit 6k with no acceleration. Pull over and sit 5 minutes then car would accelerate normal. But the problem happens everytime I start car and go to drive. Have read that the has been an ecu and other issues and recalls for it with many others complaining. I was on highway. There seems to be an issue with the radio as it with the vehicle turned off and no key in ignition, the stereo makes noise like it's trying to work. Feel veryvunsage and it seems to be a manufacturing issue as the vehicle only has 90k miles .

Takata recall- 3 dash lights on etc, mil, and esc activational malfunction indicator light on- car makes sputtering loud noise and stalls/turns off quickly after starting. Car will not accelerate and is jerking/hard to press breaks. Feels dangerous like car is going to shut off at any moment. This started last night when 3 lights appeared on dash but car sounded normal. Shortly after it shut off and has gone decreasingly down hill. This sounds like a recall issued for Jeep Patriots but does not cover my VIN number.

Etc light was coming on, car would not accelerate as should when gas pedal was pressed. Car would jerk forward as if was about to die. Trying to get onto highway is always sketchy. Finally went completely out and leaving me broke down in middle of 5 o�clock traffic after taking to dealership and being told nothing was wrong but needed a new battery went ahead and paid for just for it to all continue. Finally told throttle body was an issue. Got the entire unit replaced by dealership not just the sensor and not even a year later same thing is happening again. Hundreds of others on forums for the Jeep Patriot no matter the year are having the same issues over and over! it's not safe! someone needs to take this seriously. Not to mention it should never had happened to a 2 year old vehicle! if we want these problems we would purchase used cars. Now I am in fear of it doing it again because it's driving the same not going when gassed jerking forward, even in idle, not just for safety reasons for financial reasons as well. How can do many different year models have the same issues and this not be a mopar recall.

Upon entering a major high way system, the engine on my 2014 Jeep Patriot would not accelerate, regardless of the pressure applied to the gas pedal. It felt like there was something resisting the acceleration. There I am in the middle lane of a 6 lane bridge with free way traffic going 60mph and I am decelerating (even with adequate pressure applied to the gas) when comes electrical throttle control light came on, along with the check engine light and the traction control light. The guy driving the tow truck said I was his 4th Jeep today with the same problem and among many this month.

I've had my vehicle since new in 2014 and for the first year of having the vehicle I traveled 50 miles one way to work every day, so I put a lot of miles on the vehicle but mainly highway miles. I've never had an issue with the vehicle until a month ago. I went to go to work and the electronic throttle control light, check engine light, an traction control lights came on. The vehicle would not accelerate because of the etc light. The engine pulsated and revved steady at 4,000 rpms until I shut the vehicle off. I took it to a Chrysler dealer and they replaced the pcm. I got my vehicle back and it worked fine for about 2 weeks. Upon getting gas the vehicle would not start. All the lights and the radio worked but it would not click, crank, or turn over. I finally was able to start the vehicle and it ran fine for 3 days and the same thing happened in a parking lot. I took it to another Chrysler dealer and had yet another pcm put in it. The vehicle is still at the Chrysler dealer and I've been without it and driving a rental for almost a week now. I've contacted Chrysler and upon asking them what is going to happen if the issue persists, they could only say they'll continue to diagnose it and fix it. I have a 2 year old and I can't afford to be driving an let sit along the side of the road if I decide to take him somewhere farther away.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, the vehicle lost power and decelerated. In addition, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to accelerate as an abnormal noise came from the front of the vehicle then the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after a while. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the totally integrated power module (tipm), and brake light switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. However, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 70846. Oo.

While pulling out and driving down a parking ramp the engine code lamp illuminated. The vehicle continue to run and I proceeded home. While entering the freeway from an onramp I noted the vehicle would not accelerate normally. The engine rpm would max at 5000 rpm and the vehicle would not gain speed. Later code retrieval noted a obd ii code of p0017. By the time I made the appointment for inspection the code reset and turned off. This same code as reoccurred and reset up to 6 times. The dealership would not troubleshoot the incident with the code not being present.
