Vehicle Shudder Problems of Jeep Patriot

I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot sport 2. 0l 4cyl wuth a cvt transmission. I bought it used certified in Feb 2018. About a month into owning the vehicle it started to buck and jerk. The car shakes while on idle and there is a loud helicopter sound coming from the back of the car. I took to to 3 different Jeep dealer and nobody could tell me what was wrong with the car. About 3 months after that the engine stalled without any warning. This happened as I turned on my street to go home. I had to wait a few minutes and it turned it back on and drove as if nothing happened. I took it to local mechanic and he could not find anything wrong with the car. The vehicle was not firing any codes nor was there any warning lights on the dash. The latest incident happend on August 18, 2019 drving home from a camping trip. I had 2 passengers in the car with me. The car bucks and jerks while on the highway and the car stalls while im drving the speed limit at 60 mph. Thankfully I was in the slow lane and was able to pull over to the right. After being all shaken up, again I had waitied a few minutes and car started and drove as if noting happend. It was one of the scariest things I have ever experienced. I have taken it to local mechanics and they dint know whats wrong with it. So I am currently drving my car and wondering when the car will stall again. It still bucks and jerks, feels like it will stall so I take my foot off the gas peddle and that seems to help. I no longer drive this car on the highway as I am scared to death of getting into a car accident. I strictly use this car to travel to and from work. I am tired of sending this car to the dealerships and mechanics with no resolutions. I want to trade this car in, but am afraid for the next person. I think this car needs to be recalled. These cars should not be on the road period!!.

The vehicle shudders/ lags during acceleration. More specifically during stops when trying to accelerate. This does not happen all the time. When the vehicle has been on the road for a considerable amount of time it will do the same in an upwards of 50 miles an hour on the highway shuddering at different times. I am unsure what caused this problem, I just bought the car back in November 2018 with 42k miles on it. I haven't even put 10k miles on this vehicle and it is acting strangely. Another issue with this car is the abs and stability control sensor keeps malfunctioning. It keeps coming loose from the sensor that connects to the tire and unfortunately most people are told their abs system needs to be replaced and that's not the issue. I think the shudder/lag issue should be listed as a recall for my vehicle and a broader range of other Jeeps because this seems to be a standard issue with Jeep Patriots 2016 models.

Vehicle started slipping in gear. Within day and a half of first signs of gear not catching, the vehicle grinds down the clutch and no longer went stationary and no longer would drive. Only has 49000 miles. Driven three vehicles in 20 years with MA ual transmission and never had problems like this. At the dealership where they won't honor agreed to terms of extended warranty so can't get pics.

Driving my nrkmal route to take my son to his summer program. (city street, 24mph speed limit) on arrival, only driving 3 miles from my home, my rpms were well over 2000 at a stop light. The car began sto shake. The engine light, electronic stability control light, and stability control light come on. I pulled over the the nearest gas station. Turned car off and back in again. Rpms over 2500. They died down after 2 min. All lights still flashing. Got it to somewhere yo have codes read. "high airflow vacuum leak". Nursed it home,. Could not go over 20mp. Anything over 20mph the car shook violently. Rpms were over 2000. All of this driving was kn city streets with speed limits not going over 35mph. We tried to replace the throttle body today. Still having the same issues. Jeep on neutral (manual tranny) rpms over 2000 still.

This car needs to be investigated! not safe. Multiple problems. I bought this car about a month ago. I was driving on highway with my 5 year old son when the car started shaking and clunking uncontrollably. I pulled over thinking I had a flat tire but did not. Went to mechanic, where they replaced faulty sway bar and also installed an exhaust spring bolt kit that was never installed to begin with. Get the car back to not only have the same issues again along with issues with transmission seeming to slip. I was approaching a red light- again with my son in the car, while breaking- the car jumps rpm and almost ran into car in front of me. Also on cruise control the car wouldn't stop rev'n the engine. It was stuck over 4 rpm. I bought this car for safety but it is far from safe. There was an airbag recall but when I purchased the car it was marked as a seat belt recall. I would of steered clear if I knew about airbag but now I know airbag may not work in crash or will deploy randomly even if it was fixed it's not a legit fix due to electrical?! also I believe the recall on 2. 4 engines should also be looked into for more possible cars affected. My car follows same problems as those recalled and same engine but mines not recalled. This car clunks in and out of driveways. It feels like it will fall apart. The weather striping is poor allowing water to get in causing moldy smell. The brake lights accumulate water. There seem to be signs of electrical problems however mechanic can't see it. Can't charge phone an listen to radio unless you like static! same with aux cord, just stopped working. Aside from looking nice- crysler did a terrible job with this particular Patriot. Poorly built, not worth the money. They rather have people die or get seriously injured before looking into recalling it right? multiple attempts to fix it have been made and car is still in the shop.

The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Patriot. While the contact's daughter was driving 35 mph, the vehicle started to vibrate violently when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle failed to accelerate, but the rpms remained at 5. There were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. Prior to the failure, the contact's daughter took the vehicle to a dealer for a noise in the engine. The vehicle was diagnosed with needing a new battery, sparks plugs, and transmission. The vehicle was not repaired at that time. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

I am the original owner of this vehicle, and a condition of low idle stalling has become progressively worse over my 8 years of ownership. The vehicle is in excellent mechanical condition, and all regular maintenance has been completed and documented. In wet or damp conditions the vehicle regularly stalls, or the idle drops below a normal operating range causing the vehicle to shudder. More recently, in wet or damp conditions, when accelerating after a stop, the vehicle begins to move before experiencing near total loss of power momentarily before rpms surge and acceleration continues. This is hazardous when attempting to cross intersections, as the stalling and limp acceleration are random and cannot be predicted. Early on I had brought this issue to the dealership's attention during the warranty period but the issue could not be replicated. An independent garage also could not replicate the issue as it only occurs in wet or damp conditions. There are many documented instances of identical or similar issues with all model years of Jeep Patriots, though no remedy has been identified.

I have a 2010 Jeep Patriot sport with 50000 miles on it. I also had the dealership install an auto start for winter months to warm up car. I drove the car on Dec 7 for 10 miles traveling at a speed of 40. I stopped home for 15 minutes and when I restarted my car a red flashing lightning bolt lit up on my dash which was the throttle accompanied by the off road traction control. I backed out the car and it was shaking and loud. I decided to drive another vehicle a few days later I drove it to the dealership taking the backroads and it would not go over 20 mph and shook frequently. I was concerned for my safety. I have a lifetime powertrain engine warranty and thomas Dodge dealership in highland, in is not covering under warranty. They state the throttle is not a component of the engine or power train. The cost of repair is $690. I was wondering if any recalls exist on the Chrysler, Dodge and Jeeps in regards to throttle body assembly and to consider my model, make and year.

The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Patriot. The contact was driving approximate y 40 mph when the transmission emitted an abnormal noise as the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and resume as normal. In addition, the rear end of the vehicle began to shake continuously. The failure recurred constantly. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on six occasions for the failure. The technician advised the contact that the central computer system needed to be updated. The vehicle was also taken to an independent mechanic for a second opinion and the mechanic advised that the rear lower control arm, pcv and the power train module would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

While on the mountainous interstate we lost our acceleration and didn't know why. We were in a dangerous location just beginning to cross a bridge and we pulled off the road as far as we could. We did know that stopping on the bridge was a very dangerous location. At this point I was shaking and very scared. After a few minutes, I put the vehicle in 1st gear, and we actually moved. At this point I was just trying to get us past the bridge to a safer location. But as I went from 1 gear to another, we were slowly gaining momentum, so I kept going. Then June 9, 2014 we lost acceleration while traveling on the interstate again going through mountainous roads in nm. We were able to move slowly till we got to an off ramp and pulled into a gas station. I figured my fluid levels were good due to just having a $300 service performed with oil, etc. 2 weeks prior just before leaving on vacation. I then pulled out the owners manual to see just what that light was for. It was the transmission fluid overheating due to the mountainous terrain we were in. I had never heard of that before, so I called the dealership service area at Jeep in w. Bell rd in peoria, az. The gentleman I talked to had no good answers for me. Then he mentioned that the certain type of transmission that was in the Jeep Patriot can overheat. We just needed to follow the instructions in the manual and sit in neutral till the temperature dropped. The vehicle loses acceleration as a protection for the transmission so it doesn't overheat and cause damage. Well, then. . . What about to the occupants that are in the vehicle being suddenly stranded in very unsafe locations.

I bought my 2007 Jeep Patriot brand new and it has been nothing but problems ever since. Today is the final straw and something needs to be done to Chrysler. Everytime I press the brakes to stop, my engine stalls out. This problems frequency seems to have increased since it is raining. My Patriot has stalled previously throughout the years but they were isolated incidences or so I thought. After reading Jeep forums online, I see this is a recurring problem which Jeep is not addressing. This is a major safety hazard as I live in a highly congested area. Stalling on the expressway or in the middle of an intersection can lead to accidents and I am concerned about my safety. This isn't the only problem I have had with this car. Appearantly its not uncommon to have to replace both lower control arms containing the ball joints at 30k miles. I have had to replace all four tires due to irregular wear and tear from defective parts. Even after an alignment, at high speeds the car vibrates harshly. The transmission struggles when accelerating. I perform regular maintenance on my car and should not be experiencing these issues. The dealerships won't do anything about these problems because they have not been addressed by daimler Chrysler. This is unacceptable for any manufactured car. I cannot believe Jeep gets away with all these safety hazards and nothing is being done about it.
