Check Engine Light On Problems of Jeep Patriot - part 1

I have a 2014 2. 4l Jeep Patriot. I first noticed the problem when I was driving at 60 mph, then suddenly the check engine light came on and the vehicle began to lose speed. The engine felt like it was running out of power and I was unable to accelerate. The engine began to stall and would not allow me to go over 20 mph. The problem continued to get worse. While stopped at a red light, the engine would idle very heavily. When I went to proceed, the engine would stall. My foot would be pressing down on the gas pedal but the car wouldn't accelerate. Then after about two minutes with the gas pedal down to the floor, the vehicle's rpms would jump to 4-5 and the vehicle accelerated. Another issue is when the vehicle would be in a parked position and then proceeded to be reversed, as I was turning the wheel to back up the engine started sputtering and stalled out. I had to completely turn the key off then back on to allow me to continue to reverse. I've taken it to so many shops that can't give me answers. The problem is consistent with the nhs recall- 13v552000.

The throttle body assembly was repaired in November of 2019. It is July of 2020, I have driven the vehicle less than 2500 miles since the initial repair and the vehicle is producing the exact same symptoms as it was before the repair. It hesitates, almost stalls, and lunges while driving. Traction control light, check engine light and the drive by wire warning light all flash when the vehicle is started and running.

My vehicle out of nowhere no lights or warnings came on it simply shut off no power couldn't even unlock my doors. Was unable to start again. I jumped it and it started within 10seconds of driving it I thought it died again and realized was still running but it was like I was not pressing the gas rpms were up but no speed when I put in park vehicle motor seemed to be struggling and my check engine light came on. Luckily all of this happened while on a small road . Got it home spoke to mechanic he informed me of recall s89 and immediately said it was electrical or computer possibly I reached out to Chrysler and they instructed me to take to dealership to submit my VIN for recall I contacted dealership they essentially told me no we don't do that. This was out of nowhere with no warning I did try to start vehicle a few minutes later it started up.

While driving on the highway my check engine light came and has remained on. I am being told I need a new catalytic converter but the dealership and crystler customer service are all confused as to why my vehicle is not showing up under a recall. It is the right make, model, year and engine size for the catalytic converter recall.

While driving on the highway about 65 the Jeeps motor shut off and the check engine light came on. The steering wheel would not turn. I was able to get to the side of the road and put my hazards on. This has happened twice before but I was not on the highway. The Jeep will start right back up like nothing was wrong after a few minutes. Please help very dangerous.

Car wouldn't start one month ago. It wouldn't even turn after 3 attempts. After 10 minutes it started right up and had been normal. Today, 9/15/19, my car started up fine but 2 minutes into driving at 20mph my car lost all power. I was driving through my work parking lot driving in a forward motion. Several lights lit up in my dashboard prior to losing power. I was fortunate enough to not be on the freeway. I put my car in brake and restarted it. It started right up, but now has check engine light displayed. My battery is a few months old. I've tested it and it's charged. I'm afraid to drive my car and consider it not in a drivable state. If my car were to die on the freeway that would be a very dangerous situation. Car defect that caused this is unknown. .

When starting the vehicle there is a delay in starting then when while driving down the road the vehicle jerks or stalls like it is going to die. Acceleration and deceleration do not seem to make it stop or fix the issue. Occasionally when going up hill the vehicle will hit 4rpm like it is unable to shift and neither acceleration or deceleration fix the issue even after the vehicle is no longer climbing the hill. There are no check engine lights on and no codes to be read. I have tried gas treatment and taken it to the dealership and 2 mechanics and no one knows why it is doing it or how to stop it.

Tl-the contact owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot sport. The contact stated that the vehicle stalls intermittently while in traffic. The contact stated that the owner's manual suggested to pull the vehicle over and restart after 8 to 15 seconds. The check engine will stay on but it was safe to drive. If the check engine light flashes the owner's manual suggests to stop driving the vehicle. The dealer cloquet Ford Chrysler center 701 washington Ave, cloquet, mn 55720 (218) 879-4668 stated to bring the vehicle in for diagnosis. They stated that there was no recall on the vehicle. The manufacturer had not been contacted. According to the recall that the vehicle's issues match it stated that the crankshaft sensor needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 64,000. Tf.

On 06/20/2019, car began to have sporadic acceleration problems. No check engine light appeared at first but by middle of day, check engine alert came on. Immediately afterwards, vehicle would not accelerate past 20 mph. Drove vehicle directly to mechanic with hazard lights on driving at speeds between 15-20 mph. Mechanic worked on vehicle repairs following day (06/21/2019) and replaced throttle body & throttle body gasket. Vehicle did not have acceleration problems after repairs.

2016 Patriot with,54,000 miles. No major issues prior. 2 weeks ago however, I was left stopped in the middle of a highway entrance ramp, almost rear-ended by a semi and side swiping a construction sign to avoid being hit. When accelerating the etc symbol (lightening bolt) will display, traction control icon and check engine light will display. The Jeep completely stops accelerating (highway speed to 0 mph within seconds=deadly), it will shake before just dying. If I'm lucky I'll make it to the shoulder (if it happens to have one). Through google research, I came across a way to do a "reset" (turn car off, insert key and turn "on", press gas pedal slowly, release slowly, turn car off and then restart the engine). Doing this typically clears the icons and I'm able to travel again. This intermittently happens, so you never know when you're potentially about to be involved in an accident from stopping in the middle of the roadway. When driving on city/town roads, it has not completed stopped as stated above, but will "jump" when switching gears, then throw the etc symbol. If I let off the gas, the icon goes away and car runs normal. I took it to a mechanic 1 day ago and was told to get a new battery. The battery was changed 1 day ago and the issue occurred multiple times today. Through online searches it appears this is a terribly common issue that Jeep has yet to address! someone is going to end up losing their life because of this malfunction. There appears to be no way of knowing this is going to happen or any preventative measures that a typical person would know to take to avoid this deadly malfunction. As easy as it is to just take it to a mechanic, that is not financially possible for everyone and in this situation needs to be addressed by Jeep as it is recurring issue and is deadly. Nothing as a vehicle owner would avoid this from occurring.

While driving my 2014 Jeep Patriot, the car started losing power while accelerating uphill, it also veered off the road, like it was steering itself. The check engine light and a red lightning bolt appeared on the dashboard. Thankfully I wasn't far from my mechanic and I was able to drive it to my mechanic where it was diagnosed as needing a throttle body. This could be an extremely dangerous situation.

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.

Over the past month the throttle body control light, check engine light, and traction control light has come on when I go to accelerate. Just like others have reported, it comes on when I'm driving on the highway & just dies, you can't steer the car or anything. Or you go to accelerate and it dies & you almost get rear-ended. I cannot believe how many reports are on here similar to mine and there has been no recall although it looks like there was one for the 2016 Patriot. What will it take, someone dying? this is a huge safety issue when your car will just die while driving 65-70 mph & you can't steer or anything!.

Engine stalls while driving. The traction control lights appears when engine stalls. It may restart after about 15 minutes. This reoccurs randomly. After it starts back up the check engine light appears.

The vehicle shuts off while driving. The battery is fine however I lose all power. It is as if there is no fuel even though I have a ful tank. The traction light comes on along with the check engine light. I roll to a stop and let the Jeep sit then turn the key and it starts right up. There is no warning or indication when it will ovcur. The check engine light will disappear after driving for a time and so I am told there is no code to be pulled. Im stuck driving a machine that may or may not try to end me. Tons of people have had a similar issue however my VIN does not seem to be included in the recall.

As of 12/18/2018, my car has begun to die as I push on the accelerator after being at a complete stop at a stop light or stop sign, it even died out of no where, my husband was driving back home and thankfully there were no other cars behind him as he was passing the intersection when the car jerked and decided to turn of completely. He put it on park and started up like normal but no check engine light came on or anything. Ever since I got this car in February of 2016, take note that my Jeep only has 65000 miles and I have never had any problems with it until now. It is terrifying because each time it has happened, cars behind me were very close to rear ending my car. This is a big and scary issue for me because I have read on numerous websites that their Jeep Patriots have died on the highway. . . I have a 3 month old that I take back and forth to a baby sitter every weekday, and that is a huge safety issue for my daughter and for people driving around me as well. I have read on a numerous amounts of websites where other Jeep Patriot owners are having the exact same issue. I keep my oil changes up to date and I just changed my spark plugs. So I have no clue what the problem might be I have not taken it to have it checked because of what I have read I see that others have not had luck with taken it to a shop I would hate for this issue to cause somebody to rear end me on the streets or on the highway. Either being on the streets or the highway, it could cause serious damage and injury to me, my 3 month old daughter and to the people around me. Hopefully they have a recall soon!.

While driving, the check engine light, the electronic throttle sensor light and the abs light came on. As a result, the engine loses power, the transmission is choppy and I cant drive faster than 20-30 miles per hour. If I turn the car off and restart, the sensor light and abs light goes off, the check engine light stays on and the car runs normal. After five minutes, the aforementioned lights come back on and the engine returns to its subnormal running conditions. There is no specific explanation for this problem and according to Jeep's forums, it is a common problem among all Jeep models.

Vehicle hesitates while accelerating on flat or inclined ground. The electronic throttle control (etc) indicator light will come during the hesitation and go off when power resumes. See attached photo for reference. On more than one occasion the red light has come on and the car has gone into limp mode. When this happens the traction an check engine light will come on. The car can be turned off and back on and this occasionally clears it. At times an obd-ii computer must be used to clear the codes and then resume driving. This has happened sporadically since 2018.

This has happened 4 times in less then a 6 months period. I would be driving then out of no where my vehicle jerks my check engine light comes on and I can not accelerate past 20 mph. I have to manage to pull to the side somewhere to restart my car so it will drive somewhat normally. The check engine light remains on. One error code said there was a leaking hose but they found nothing leaking and couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Car engine cuts out while stationary or trying to start moving. Steering wheel and shifter locks up. Then typically restarts right away. Check engine light thens comes on, but nothing shows up when running diagnostics. Very scared this will happen to me while going 70 on a highway. I could easily be hit. This seems to be a very common problem among this type of car.

My 2008 Jeep Patriot hesitates, sputters, and stalls a few minute after I fill it up. If I don't fill it all the way, it does not stall (and I never top-off when filling). I have started the practice of only filling 3/4 or pulling over in the gas station to let the car stall at idle before proceeding. When I first noticed the issue a few months ago, it stalled on me in traffic after leaving the fueling station. This was very dangerous. My mechanic at the dealer told me today he believes there is a bad liquid/vapor valve on the gas tank causing gas to enter an exhaust line leading to the carbon canister, and that a full gas tank replacement is needed to replace this bad valve. He also offered, that I could just continue to only fill the tank 3/4 and should be fine. At $2,000 to replaced the tank, I may need to consider having this work done by a non-Chrysler shop? I found this discussion online today, and everyone is having the exact same problem as me (with some having detailed accounts of making claims with the NHTSA). Please take five minutes to review. .

I have had my 2012 Jeep Patriot for over a year and just recently, in the last 5 months, the engine will randomly stall while I am driving or idling at a light/stop sign. There is no warning or indication as to why this happens. It has happened at various speeds ranging from 25 mph to 60 mph. It has happened on residential roads and on the freeway. Luckily, each time it has happened I have been able to get over to the shoulder pretty quickly. When it first started happening, I would turn it off and be able to start it right away. It has been happening more frequently lately. Sometimes it happens anywhere between 2 to 6 times a day. It's very random. Sometimes days go by before it happens and then sometimes it happens every single day. It never happens when I am turning. Only when I am driving. Never in reverse. When it stalls, the engine completely shuts off and my steering wheel locks up. The lights, radio, etc stay on. Once it stalls and I turn the Jeep completely off, it is taking longer and longer for it to start back up again. Once it stalls, the check engine light comes on and stays on. Sometimes the light is off in the morning after I park my Jeep overnight and sometimes the light is still on in the morning when I get up to drive my Jeep.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 70 mph, while increasing the temperature, the vehicle inadvertently decelerate. The temperature gauge also increased. The contact costed to the side of the road. The contact powered off the engine and waited a while to restart the engine. The check engine warning light would intermittently illuminated. The failure recurred three times. The contact called jt's dodgeland and fiat of columbia dealership at (803) 799-1900 located at 190 greystone blvd, columbia, SC 29210 and was informed to bring the vehicle in for serviced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 87,999. Aw.

I was pulling out of a parking lot onto a busy street. I put my foot on the accelerator to gain speed and there was no response. I could not accelerate. The check engine light came on. I was able to turn the car off and back on and was then able to accelerate. I had the car towed to the dealership. The dealership had the car for a week and said the car was fixed without giving much of an explanation. I had the car back for 2 day and it happened to me again twice. I took the car back to the dealership and they have had it for an additional week with no diagnosis. They say they have not been able to get the car to replicate the issue. I am concerned to drive the car as this has happened to me on three occasions on busy streets and it is very dangers.

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.

Over the past several months I am unable to put gas and it it shuts off the pump and usually it doesn't start afterwards but I will be driving down the highway at speed of 65 70 miles per hour the vehicle traction control light will come on the check engine light continues to flash standing in the engine locks up in the car stalls and dies and will not restart very dangerous and very scary.

During driving car got stalled suddenly and engine stopped and locked and prevented to move off from road with evap check engine light. My family in the car and someone behind about to hit at the back and its a major issue if engine lock down while driving.

I purchased this vehicle 2 and a half weeks ago and it has been back to the dealer 4 times because of the check engine light. The first time they stated it was a sensor for the breaks. Second, time they stated, for the same thing a brake sensor. Third, time they said the sensor was bad. Now for the fourth time they are saying it's a module. No, it's time for a new truck a 2016 Jeep should not have the engine light come on at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's time to be in the process to file the lemon law because the car has been back up their four times maybe even more for the check engine light.

Air bag cover rattles over 45 mph has been doing this since mileage of about 1000 check engine light comes on with code p0128 faulty thermostat 2 times in the last month pulls to left over 60 mph has been doing this since June has been back to dealership 2x.
