VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I ACCELERATED UP TO 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET AND THEN COASTED UP TO TRAFFIC AND WAS SLOWING DOWN, AT THE LIGHT AND MY CAR ALL THE SUDDEN TURNED ON 3 LIGHTS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TROTTLE POSITION LIGHT. I STOPPED MY CAR AT THE LIGHT AND ONCE I DID THE CAR JERKED FORWARD SENDING ME INTO THE INTERSECTION. LUCKY NO ONE WAS COMING BUT I ENDED UP HAVING TO RUN THE RED LIGHT BECAUSE MY CAR JERK FORWARD AGAIN AND ONCE I GAVE IT GAS IT ONLY GOT WORSE. I PULLED OFF INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED MY CAR ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES TO RESET THE COMPUTER. IT FINALLY DID AFTER TURNING IT ON AND OFF FIVE TIMES. ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. SO I TRIED TO DRIVE IT TO WORK AND ONCE I DROVE DOWN THE CITY ROAD A LITTLE WAYS (MAYBE A MILE). THE CAR JERKED AND ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT UP AND THEN DOWNSHIFTED AND MY ENGINE THEN REVED TO FIVE THOUSAND RPM. AND ALL THE LIGHTS TURNED BACK ON AND MY CAR JERK VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH. THE RPM'S STAYED AT THREE TO FOUR THOUSAND REVING MY ENGINE NEEDLESSLY. I FINALLY PULLED OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT AND HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO A SHOP. THE JEEP CERTIFIED MECHANIC REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE HEARD OF A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS ISSUE

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
2014 JEEP PATRIOT IS STALLING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY UPHILL. IT IS ALSO STALLING AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATING AGAIN. WHILE GOING UPHILL RECENTLY THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED TO CLIMB UPHILL. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE HAS NOT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT YET. THIS MOSTLY HAPPENS ON CITY STREET HOWEVER WHEN GETTING ONTO THE ON RAMP IT SPUTTERS TO ACCELERATE SOMETIMES AND ALSO IF TRAFFIC COMES TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY AND I TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. I HAVE COMPLETED REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR SO THIS HAS COME OUT OF NOWHERE. I SEE PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE WHICH COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL BUT I'M NOT SURE IF MY VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THIS RECALL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR ISN'T EVEN 5 YEARS OLD AND THE LIGHTENING BOLT COMES ON AND MY CAR SLOWS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. IT TAKES AT LEAST TWO TRIES TO TURN THE CAR ON BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STARTS AND NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE LIGHTENING BOLT COMES ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WILL JERK AND WON'T GO MORE THAN 35 AND WON'T RESPOND TO ACCELERATING. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE AND SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING WITH A CAR LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD.

MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. WHEN ON THE FREEWAY IT WILL RANDOMLY LOSE ACCELERATION AT 60 MILES/HR AND THE POWER WILL DROP DOWN TO 40 CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY VEHICLE. I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND AS I BEGAN TO TAKE OFF THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 OR 10 MILES/HR AND I WOULD HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART. ONCE I HAVE RESTARTED MY VEHICLE IT WILL START AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY SEMI TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY AND SEVERAL OTHER SEVERAL TIMES WITH KIDS AND OTHERS FAMILY MEMBERS IN MY VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS TO NOT ONLY MY SELF, BUT ANYONE ON THE ROAD WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN MY AUTOMOBILE TO THE SHOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE IT ON DEMAND. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SITUATION AND I ONLY PRAY THAT SOMEONE WITH A MORE AUTHORITY WILL TAKE A STANCE AND GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. MEANWHILE, I AM HAVING TO SPEND UNNECESSARY MONEY ON RENTAL CARS, WHILE PAYING A CAR NOTE. THIS IS UNHEARD OF AND I AM PRAYING THAT A LIFE WILL NOT BE LOST DUE TO THIS PROBLEM NOT BEING RESOLVED! MY DATE BELOW IS GIVE OR TAKE BECAUSE I CAN REMEMBER EACH TIME THIS JEEP HAS ACTED UP.

ENGINE
MY ENGINE HAD BEEN ON FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING THE RED FLASH LIGHT CAME ON WHICH WHEN I READ MY MANUAL, IT'S MY ETC. MY JEEP STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED MY JEEP OFF AND READ MY MANUAL. IT STATED I COULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND GET IT SERVICE. I DROVE IT HOME. AS I READ THE COMPLAINTS ON HERE FOR THE SAME THING, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL OR SHOULD BE NOW, BECAUSE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IF IT ACCELERATES ON IT'S ON AND CAN'T STOP.
