Vsa Warning Light On Problems of Jeep Patriot

Sitting at a red light, vehicle engine light came on followed by the throttle warning light. Vehicle lost power and engine felt like it would stall. Vehicle would only drive at very low speed to get to safety. After restarting, engine light remained on, vehicle was drivable but soon failed again within a few miles and the throttle warning light came on again. Stability control light may come on as well. Was too concerned with getting to safety to know for sure.

I was driving on a road into work at no more than 40/45 mph. My car was at a slight incline when the electronic throttle control light and electronic stability control light came on, and my car powered down to a low level and wouldn't increase its speed. I pulled over to the side of the road, put the car in park and shut it off. I was able to start the car and drive the rest of the way, and the light didn't come back on again.

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.

My car shuts down while driving. The stability light goes on and the engine dies while on the road.

I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot latitude that has 48100 miles on it . Its was fine up until know where it will stall out while driving and shut down and the stability light would come on . I would pull over and the car would restart . It has been happening a lot and its scary not to know when it will happen again . Someone is going to get killed if the problem is not fixed . Jeep should have a recall on the cars and fix the problem . The problem has happened while turning a corner and on streets and then went to stall out on a highway.

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.

Jeep slowed down to 20 mph engine light, electronic stability control light and electronic throttle control light came on was on interstate going 70 mph scared the crap out of me . Pulled over and restarted Jeep and went on vehicle was running rough lights still on got to exit . And went to auto store they checked the codes and took it to dealer and throttle body and gasket and throttle body assembly have to be replaced cost of 490. 43 the dealer auto store code machine read invalid data received from engine control module power train control module a. Comfimed.

While driving in the city at about 30 mph my etc light comes on and car starts to slow and will not let me accelerate. Also as soon as I stop and start to go my car moves very slowly about 10mph and sometimes the etc light and stability control light will come on and my car will not accelerate over 15/20mph at all until I stop and try to go again. Sometimes it's so bad that I have to stop and shut off my car and start it again for it to fix itself. This is very dangerous especially when going across the road or turning when other cars are coming. Never mind how dang it is if it is to happen on the highway, which I have avoided since I don't feel like dying anytime soon. Everything I read on the internet is saying that it's been happening to many people that have 2014 Jeep Patriots. This is honestly something that is going to get someone seriously hurt and at no fault of their own. I've also read about a recall on an engine part from 2013 in the 2014 Patriots with a 2. 4l engine and I am just wondering why when I look up recalls for my car that specific one does not show up. If something is wrong and needs to be replaced owners should be notified before someone gets hurt.

I was driving on the freeway doing 65 and the jerked hard and the power of the car droped down to about 20 mph almost causing me to get into a crash with cars behind me a red lighing bolt lite up on the dash as this was happening and at that same time the check engine light came on if I pressed on the gas nothing but rpm went up and the car would not go over 20 mph the lights stopped and the car went back to normal barely making it home same thing happened again it's the etc light check engine light and esc stability control light all come on and you lose power to acelrate.

I have a 2014 Jeep Patriot with about 33,474 miles when the problem occurred. I was driving going home in a busy street in los angeles when all of a sudden the malfunction indicator light (mil) and electronic stability control (esc) (see photos) light showed up on the dashboard and I stopped because the traffic light turned red. I had 3 passengers with me and they were trying to google what the dashboard light means. When the light turned green, I started to drive but the engine was stalling, as if it doesn't want to drive, no power. So I parked at the curb, turned off the ignition and waited for a few seconds then turned the ignition on again. The esc disappeared from the dashboard but the mil remained lit up. I was able to drive home and the next day, took the vehicle to my mechanic. My mechanic replaced the throttle body and it's working fine now. I noticed the difference in the performance of the vehicle before and after the throttle was changed. I am reporting this to you because I have heard news and got a letter from a law firm informing me of a number of mechanical defects reported about the vehicle. At this point, I am too late to bring it to a Jeep dealer for repair because the vehicle is out of warranty.

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.

Driving down the street and the electronic throttle control light came one, the stability control light came on and the check engine light came on. The Jeep started shaking and lost power. I pulled over and restarted the car, it started normally but moments later the lights all cam back and the Jeep starting shaking. Then two days of normal driving and then it happened again. This appears to be a known issue and a recall should be issued. I have researched this and found complaints dating back to 2008.

Every so often while driving and sometimes while car is not moving the electronic throttle control light comes on and the car stalls out, sometimes when its on long time the vehicle stability control light comes on , it seems to happen more the colder it is outside ,can not seem to find the problem but seems to be a common problem with the Patriot and other Chrysler models not sure why Chrysler hasn't done anything to resolve this issue.

At idle and while driving, the electronic throttle control (etc) light blinks intermittently and I lose power. After about 4 days of this happening, not only did the etc light come on, but the electronic stability control (esc) light came on. Then the 4x4 light, airbag lights, and engine light came on. The Jeep ran really rough at idle. I took it to a certified Jeep dealer to be told that I need the throttle body replaced for $591. The mileage on my Jeep is approximately 51,000.

Abs sensor , electrical stability control and 4x4 warning lights came on while driving and vehicle slowed down. We slowed down and pulled over. We restarted the car and drove for a couple of miles when it happened again. It has been a recurring issue; this could be dangerous because of the way to car slows down unwarranted. The abs light is illuminated, meaning the abs may not work in an emergency. I have seen many complaints about this on car forums. We had a mechanic work on ours and they replaced the wheel speed sensor and the wheel bearings; this fixed this issue for a couple of months but it has begun again. Its possible this may be an issue for all the wheels???.

Ever since I had tires put on, the seals leak and I was told it was an issue with Jeep Patriot rims. Electronic throttle control randomly comes on and the car wont go, I have to pull over and restart (intermittent problem over several months) now the the electronic stability control malfunction light came on and wont go over 20mph. Ive read several complaints. Why no recalls on this?!?!?.

Abs sensor , electrical stability control and 4x4 warning lights came on while driving and vehicle slowed down. I pulled over and turned ignition off , restarted it . . . Warning lights came back on and this continued, vehicle was drivable. Now car is in the shop but mechanic is unable to find any issues. He has checked brakes, struts , sensors so far nothing is problematic. I called Jeep for help with issue but representative acted as if he has never heard of this happening.

We purchased a used Jeep Patriot 2008 and within a few months had problems with the stability lights coming on when we slowed from highway and car needing to be restarted to regain power. The transmission kept doing a weird kickback. The vehicle was checked on the computer repeatedly and did not show a code. Also ,the oil change light kept coming on even after oil changed. We replaced arms , bearings, still issue not corrected . ( the bearing replaced twice by dealership a year ago is still making loud noises. ) recently the kickback is increasing and the dealership has advised us we need an entire new transmission. This is a 2008!!!!! 5 years old!!! there was a recall on some 2008 Patriots , but I am being advised not ours and so far Chrysler is refusing to do anything for us on the transmission.
