Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep patriot. while driving at 45 mph and making a left turn the vehicle decelerated without warning. the accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle failed to respond. the vehicle was turned off and back on however, the vehicle failed to exceed 20 mph while driving. the vehicle was taken to (o'reilly chevrolet 6160 e broadway blvd, tucson, az 85711 (520) 829-3876) where it was diagnosed and it was determined that the transmission was defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired the vehicle was then taken to (larry h. miller dodge ram tucson 4220 e 22nd st, tucson, az 85711 (520) 395-9311) to be diagnosed. it was determined that the electric throttle body control failed and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximate 80,100. *dt*jb
A circuit wire corroded and shorted the tipm. this happened at home. the car was stored in the garage. the car wouldn't start. i had it towed to the dealership. when connected to the dealer diagnostics it showed no error codes. when the mechanic replaced the wire at the dealership service shop the starter ran non stop without the key in the ignition. i am unaware if the car starter also came on without the key when i was not near the vehicle. this vehicle does not have remote start. it is driven on paved rides and stored in a garage. i am the second owner. less than two weeks prior to this shorted tipm the vehicle was serviced at the same dealer for a factory recall to change the catalytic converter and to do a computer software update.
When i am driving on the freeway or street the car seems that wants to stop and feel that is loosing power; than it does like a jumper and keep going and it has happened many times. the dealer seems that do not find anything. also the back door of the car keep getting lock and not able to open
Vehicle constantly stalls while driving. even happens when i'm driving on interste and speeds of 70 mph. vehicle eventually starts back up but this is a huge safety issue. had the codes ran and came back with an issue with the crankshaft positioning sensor.
My wife was driving the jeep and it turned off on her twice trying to get it back home. all electrical went out and engine stalled. after the second time it only goes 10 mph and still stalls and powers off. it is very dangerous and i feel something should be done from the number of complaints on the web.
Driving at approx. 40 mph, dash lights came on pwoer train skid warning, 4wd, lightning icon power dropped unable to go more than 20 mph extremely unsafe
Blower motor for hvac fails without notice on all speeds. results in "foggy" windshield and lack of defrost feature and de-ice features. this can result in the vehicle restricting vision while driving or cause the driver to begin a trip only to realize that they can't see. in rapidly changing climates - the failure of the blower motor may result in sudden and unplanned restricted vision. issue appears to be related to blower motor resistor as a tested failure point. it should be noted that many other owners within the jeep community have experienced similar failures across many models of jeep products based on research. *tr
I was driving with my 2 small children home when out of no where my check engine light came on, my "lightning bolt light" came on and my "fish tail" light came on then my engine stalled in middle of the road. thankfully we were not on a busy road. but i normally am driving the interstate for work. (i work with people with disabilities, including having them in my vehicle.) the code is letting me know the throttle body control is bad. i looked up recalls and 2014 jeep patriots have this recall. but my vin specifically does not. therefore i'm not sure if a dealership will cover it. it could have been a devastating accident if we had been on a busy road.
My electronic throttle control indicator light came on and my car started jerking, slowing and i lost the ability to accelerate. this would have been a very dangerous situation if i had been on the interstate.
The engine shut down while driving on a city street. was able to push the car to the side of the road. put a code reader on and got po339 code, crankshaft position sensor intermittent. reset the code and car started and i drove home.
