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

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

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.

Electronic throttle control light began to go off. rpms were running higher than normal. after the sensor triggered twice, no problems other than rmps running high. 5 days after the initial warning light, upon stopping at a traffic light and resuming acceleration, check engine came on, then electronic throttle control, then traction control. this continued to happen every time the car had to decelerate or stop and the rpms dropped below 1. at one point, it stalled. i had to pull over, stop the car and restart it. if you were driving on a highway with continuous gas there wasn't a problem. the diagnostic repair is the throttle body housing needs to be replaced.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep patriot. the contact stated that the vehicle did not pass inspection because the fuel system failed. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the ecm software needed to be flashed. the vehicle was taken to sansone chrysler jeep dodge (100, 90 us-1, avenel, nj 07001, (732) 815-2424) where it was diagnosed that a software update was needed. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. the failure mileage was 53,299. the vin was invalid.

I went to start my car and there was no power even with a jump. after replacing the starter, battery, relays, eginition switch, thermostats, alter alternator and throttle body the issue continued. on the hwy the temp light comes on and has issues accelerating and when you try to start it click seems like it's not going to start and finally does. the battery light stays on. and just over all jerky and lights dim.

While driving on the highway with air condition running. i hear an electrical sound that reminds me of a remote control car. my jeep then proceeds to overheat and stalls while i'm driving . i have to sit on the side of the road for 15-20 minutes then try to drive again . this has happened multiple times most recently memorial weekend 2019. i have taken my jeep to the dealership but they say they can not find anything wrong

Airbag light on and off. limp mode turning on. car going from 45 mph to 15 mph

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.

I took the car to have a diagnostic test done and it said the throttle body control and my car loses power without notice.

I have the same exact problem as everyone else. the throttle lightning bolt flashes, car wont shift or do more than 35. it wont respond to accelerating. it jerks all over the place when at a low speed. i went off of the road in the snow but was ok. when it first started it kicked into a lower gear, jerked and the car slid. you are going to get people killed ignoring this and now here is written proof that you have been warned. do hear that, chrysler? because youre about to.

I've had 3 fuel pumps replaced and countless times my car hasn't started just because like now, which brought me here. this needs a recall immediately but every time i look there isn't one. i bought this car brand new in 2014 and it still only has 45,539 miles on it. a week ago i started my car & then it turned off. luckily i was at i've already had to replace the throttle body so with all of this we need a recall.

The horn stopped working on this car about five months ago. i looked for a fuse or relay and discovered on the web that this was a common chrysler problem across all products. i replaced the clock spring which appeared to be identified as most probable problem on the web; not so. two months ago i went to the dealer and said for $150 they would identify the problem. the horn itself worked, which i tested. i took the steering wheel apart once again and traced the two operational horn wires back to the the steering wheel mounted cruise control module. for grins i went to the local service yard and obtained said module. replaced the module and now the horn works. first, why would the horn circuit be so convoluted since a relay and fuse was the norm since the 1940's. second, for safety's sake, the common items needed to be working in a car are horn, lights, brakes; these are common minimum inspection items. chrysler should make good and repair/ replace cars with this problem because this major failure could have serious consequences because the mindset of most backyard mechanics is that they can fix it and many ...
