Lose Power Steering Problems of Jeep Patriot

2015 Jeep Patriot had a problem starting two days prior to the event. It would not turn over while parked. After waiting five minutes, I turned the key again and it started. Then, two days later while driving about 60 mph on the freeway, the vehicle stalled while I was accelerating. For the next 20 seconds it oscillated between accelerating and coasting while I held my foot on the gas pedal. As I coasted towards an upcoming off-ramp, I lost power steering. Once I was off the freeway, I had to coast into a parking lot and had the vehicle towed to a Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram dealership. They ran their "diagnostic tests" and found nothing. They test drove the car for 10 miles and were unable to recreate the issues. They updated the pcm and tcm and ran their computer diagnostic tests again. Nothing was found. I feel incredibly unsafe driving my Jeep Patriot now. I escalated the issue to Chrysler customer care who was unable to do anything to help me until the problems are recreated and documented by a dealership. This is a known problem with Jeeps. 2016 Jeep Patriots were recalled for this very reason. Why is nothing being done about this?.

Problem recurring on highway and city streets. At all speeds from idle to 75 mph. The latest was on highway driving 75 mph car dropped down to 30 mph and then stalled causing me to lose power steering and braking and almost an accident. The problem is well known to the Jeep manufacturer as stated by dealership. They said the throttle body/ software is the issue and occures in models from 2008 - current then verbally quoted me $650 for repair. I then researched online and found more than 2500 people with the issue and that's just people looking for help.

Shortly after filling the gas tank of my 2007 Jeep Patriot (49xxx miles) I was coming to a 4 way intersection (only my side and the opposite side of the intersection has stop signs). As I was pulling through the intersection my Jeep Patriot stalled and I lost my power steering and brakes. I was almost struck on the passenger side by a vehicle traveling from the right side of the intersection from my orientation of the intersection. I tried to restart the vehicle for about 5 minutes to no avail. It would start and then immediately stall again. After almost being struck 5-6 times and after about 5 minutes of being stuck in the middle of an intersection I managed to start the vehicle up and drive it home by driving about 15 miles per hour on backroads for the remaining 2 miles to my house. After searching the internet to find the problem I found that this is a common issue among many Jeep Patriot/compass owners and nothing has been done to address the issue. Please look into this issue as myself and my passenger (fiancee) could have been seriously injured if not for sheer luck.

On 09/17/13 at 0858 hours, I was driving my 2007 Jeep Patriot on the I-17 frontage road when the vehicle began to lose power steering. Prior to the loss of power, I was travelling northbound on an even concrete surface at approximately 50 mph in normal traffic conditions. When the vehicle began to "act up," the light for my electronic stability control turned on and the esc became active and my check engine light began to blink amber. Due to esc, my vehicle was extremely difficult to control (once again this was on an even, paved surface with no conditions requiring the esc to activate). Along with the esc becoming active, my vehicle began to stall and lose power. My engine would peak at a mere 2000k rpm and at about twenty miles per hour. Thankfully I was only on a frontage road and was able to quickly pull into an industrial area, however, if I was on I-17 (which does not have a shoulder) I would have been in great danger. Once stopped, I had to stop/start my engine four times for the esc and check engine light to deactivate. Once they did the vehicle operated normally. I took the vehicle to Jeep dealership in north phoenix to see what was wrong with the vehicle. They advised it returned a "torque request signal denied" historical code for when the incident occurred, which "doesn't make any sense. " I believe the above incident is related to two events that happen on 9/14/13. During two separate right turns the vehicle began to stall through a turn only to jolt and regain power.
