Traveling 40 mph engine misfires check engine, throttle body, and traction warning lights on. vehicle will not accelerate. turn off engine resets throttle body and traction control warning lights check engine light remains on vehicle accelerates normally. check engine code = u0401 invalid data received from engine control module/powertrain control module a. 84,000 miles
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.
While driving the esc came on reducing my ability to drive at normal speeds i was able to drive 15 - 20 mph to get jeep back home...i bought this used jeep patriot 9 months ago...why keep making car payments on it?. no recall for this as others have had same issue in their jeep patriots...i had a baby in jeep too...i might as well let bank take it back as i don't have extended warranty or money for repairs...
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. while driving 60 mph, the electronic stability control warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. the driver was able to coast the vehicle onto the side of the road. the vehicle was restarted and driven, but the failure recurred the following day. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified and stated that the vin was not included in a recall. the approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
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 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.
Same complain as everyone else. my jeep patriot 2014 suddenly lost power and started jerking while driving not allowing me to accelerate. three lights came on the throttle control warning light, engine and traction control light. replaced throttle body my self and i want my dang recall or a lawsuit filed because this could cause a major accident and lifes are involved.
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.
Driving on the interstate, and the electrical indicator came on as well as power reduced down to 25-30 miles per hour during morning rush hour. drove car on shoulder of highway until closest exit for safety. towed vehical to mechanic, and throttle body was replaced.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep patriot. while driving at an unknown speed in heavy traffic, the vehicle lost power. the electronic throttle control and electronic stability control indicators illuminated. the vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road, turned off, and restarted. the vehicle was taken to leith chrysler dodge jeep ram aberdeen (910-944-7115, located at 11049 us-15, aberdeen, nc 28315) where the contact was informed that there was no recall for the failure. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v668000 (seat belts, air bags). the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
My car is not starting. this is the third time this year that i had to bring it in to the dealership. the red bolt goes on last two times and i was on the road driving and it slowed down. this time it won't work. i took it to dealership twice already and it's less than two months apart. third time happening now.
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.
When driving on highways and city streets the whole dashboard lights up with all the warning symbols. everything in the dashboard including the speedomoter resets to zero lights up and then goes off and on for a couple of miles. it sounds like the car system is trying to click on and off or readjust. i then am not able to accelerate above 40mph when the gas pedal is all the way to the floor while driving on highways, city streets and turning. the traction light is on although i do not manually have it on and sputters when turning on city streets and grinds gears and gets stuck not allowing me to accelerate above 20mph. after receiving a diagnostics from a jeep dealership they said that the above stated issues could be related to the throttle body system. the issues are still occuring after mulptile mechanic checks.
I've had 2 new 2014 jeep patriots, and the electronic throttle control has failed on both while highway driving at 65mph, leaving cars with no engine power or power steering. somebody will die one day in this car. i junked the first one after repairing the etc, and now it has happened again on the 2nd one. please google the subject and see thousands of others w/same issue. jeep refuses to acknowledge all the way down to the dealership level, and will not repair or replace the defective part. i have had this happen twice on 2 new 015 patriots purchased from the same dealer in marietta, ga. there is something seriously defective in these etcs, and i am lucky my wife and daughter were able to negotiate themselves off the highway without getting maimed or killed. jeep needs to be brought to acknowledgement, and recall on this very dangerous issue.
Tamara recall to whom it may concern my 2014 jeep patriot throttle body went out while driving and almost caused a crash i looked up on the jeep forum and their is thousands of people with the same year and make with the same issues alot of them caused recks from throttle body issues, what happen was i was driving on a city street and came to a stop sign and then my etc light and check engeine light came on blinking and then with my foot completly on the break and i just got new breaks done a couple of months ago , my jeep started to rev and the rpms went all the way to the red and my jeep was off bucking and went straight ahead while my foot is still on the break i was completely not in control of my jeep and i was heading right into another vehicle i slammed on my horn and put my hazards on and the other person slammed on their breaks, i was able to coast off the road because it wpuldnt go over 20 mph after that and turn my jeep off and called a tow truck and sent it to the shop , and they called me saying it was throttle control body went out and saying its going to be like 600 dollars to fix. it was the most scariest and dangerous thing i've ever seen happen with vehicles. i called chrysler and they seemed like they understood this has been a promblem and they just did not care the below pictures are just some of the people that went thru the same thing its called jeep forum. thanks for your concern
Throttle body housing failure: while driving to work on an interstate with speed limit of 60mph, vehicle would decelerate from 50mph down to 20mph and would not speed up regardless of how i pressed the gas pedal. the esc, etc, and mil indicators began to flash and the vehicle would not speed above 20-30mph. i had to have the vehicle towed to a local dodge dealer who diagnosed the issue as needing a replacement throttle body housing at a cost of $880 for that repair and replacement of a leaking coolant / radiator hose.
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.
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.
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.
I was driving my 2014 jeep patriot and the traction control, engine light and ligtening bolt light came on. my jeep would no go above 30 miles per hour. i had just left my sisters and able to make it back to her place. my jeep has 80,000 miles on it and i have done a lot of research on this issue and a lot of people have had the same problem. i drive on the interstate almost daily and this issue is very dangerous.
I have spent over $1500 on repair of an electrical throttle body and catalytic converter and i still have engine stalling and not being able to accelerate cars slows on its own i can't drive more than 20mph
My 2014 jeep patriot will not accelerate without having hesitation. the vehicle has 64,000 miles on it. when you press on the gas whether you are moving or stopped, it almost stalls and then has to reset it self to go above 30mph. the etc light comes on and then disappears. this has happened all week. seeing how many people have had this issue on this site and others, there should definitely be a recall. this is a dangerous and scary situation for a vehicle that is not even 5 years old to slow and/or stop while you are trying to accelerate.
I am writing in regards to an issue that has been happening with my jeep patriot that upon further research seems to be plaguing many patriot owners as well with no solution. randomly my vehicle would lose acceleration and the electronic throttle control light would light. when this would happen i would lose the power to accelerate and would have to pull over and restart the vehicle. once restarted the problem would no longer be there as if it didn't happen. sometimes the 4wd and traction control light would ignite during these episodes. i have taken the vehicle in for diagnostics, but nothing popped on their end and i have been told that the only way for them to know what is wrong is if it happens when they have it. being there can be a week or more between episodes this isn't feasible. this issue needs to be addressed and fixed by the manufacturer being it's dangerous for the driver and passengers. just two weeks ago my vehicle had this episode occur while crossing an intersection. thankfully i managed to make it through the intersection without incident but being a pregnant mother driving her toddler around this situation could of cost us our lives. tonight my car did the same and i nearly got hit because i lost acceleration suddenly on a 55mph road. thankfully i was able to pull into a safe place but now my vehicle is no longer drivable and will have to be towed to be fixed. this vehicle only has 72000 miles on it .
Electronic throttle light flicked on and off on four separate occasions while accelerating. vehicle seemed to rev up and almost bottom out. diagnosed by independent service shop as faulty electronic throttle. repair cost was approximately $742.
Electronic throttle control sensor went out. gas peddle stopped working and vehicle shaking/stalling while driving on highway while taking my daughter to school. approx 79,000. cost over $800 to have it replaced. already had to replace intake manifold last summer.
Takata recall- 3 dash lights on etc, mil, and esc activational malfunction indicator light on- car makes sputtering loud noise and stalls/turns off quickly after starting. car will not accelerate and is jerking/hard to press breaks. feels dangerous like car is going to shut off at any moment. this started last night when 3 lights appeared on dash but car sounded normal. shortly after it shut off and has gone decreasingly down hill.this sounds like a recall issued for jeep patriots but does not cover my vin number.
So for the last month or two my wife 2014 jeep patriot has had the ect light come on along with others with t like the tc and check engine and whats happening is its basically losing power randomly and when it start it doesn't go away you can even get the vehicle over 10 mph i personally have ready a bunch of these same complaints on here and other forum and think there should be a recall on it from what i've heard their is a issue with the throttle body.
Driving on a 55mph highway at 55mph and acceleration discontinued . i noticed etc warning light was on , car would not throttle properly i pulled off road onto emergency lane. i could have been rear ended but fortunately was not. looked in manual, returned home within 6 miles at about 30mph on 55mph road . called chrysler dealer and they said it was under warranty due to less than 60,000 miles it could be towed there free. they stated i needed a new throttle body but not under warranty. why would a major part need replaced at such low mileage.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep patriot. while driving 60 mph with the accelerator pedal depressed, the speed independently decreased to 20 mph. the etc (electronic throttle control) indicator illuminated. the vehicle was shut off for approximately one hour and it restarted on the first attempt; however, the failure recurred. the vehicle was not taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer stated that there were existing complaints for the failure, but there was no current recall and referred the contact to nhtsa. the failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
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.
My jeep patriot starting having acceleration issues about a month ago. while driving, it does not matter if i am turning or driving straight, the vehicle feels like it is being cut off from the fuel and gets jerky. now the electronic throttle control warning light will come on and then go out. this happens on city streets doing 25mph or on the highway doing 60mph. i drive my two daughters around and cannot trust this vehicle to be safe. we have tried looking into fixing it and no one can tell us what is wrong. every forum we have gone to tells us that they have filed complaints as well and nothing is being done. i cannot wait for this to completely go out with risk of an accident. some have stated that they have had to tow their vehicle home because it will completely shut off. there is no actual answer to the problem and the parts are a maybe for a fix. which do we fix first? the cheapest or both? also, some of the parts are only factory direct ordering. please look into this major safety concern and get a recall started!! i am getting afraid to drive this vehicle and i can't keep putting money into something that doesn't fix it!! this has been going on for over a month!
Upon entering a major high way system, the engine on my 2014 jeep patriot would not accelerate, regardless of the pressure applied to the gas pedal. it felt like there was something resisting the acceleration. there i am in the middle lane of a 6 lane bridge with free way traffic going 60mph and i am decelerating (even with adequate pressure applied to the gas) when comes electrical throttle control light came on, along with the check engine light and the traction control light. the guy driving the tow truck said i was his 4th jeep today with the same problem and among many this month.
I've complained here 2 weeks ago but now an update -- today was the second time which was more serious as not only the etc light came on , but the mil light and then the eac light. after stalling and restarting and plugging my way home -- while at a stop light , foot on brake on a hill, the car seemed to rpm very highly and seemed to want to accelerate (while a pedestrian crossed in front of me at the light). at that time -- or around that time -- all the idiot lights came on -- on the instrument panel. the car was stationary, but appeared to swoop into high gear while sitting with brake on pedal. it then dwindled down to the previous 3 lights. later when i made it home after several stalls, i went out to start it . the mil light lights first, and although it's suppose to warn me about seat-belts that has stopped. then the etc light comes on after about 1 minute or so, and the eac which stays on.i've never had a car do this ever! so dangerous! the seatbelt light? this has got to be electrical. chrysler has never fixed their jeep problems -- this is a repeated issue with all of their jeeps . i was in downtown duluth going only 30 mph but wouldn't have been able to go past that speed as it kept attempting to stall out. i'm sorry i couldn't take pictures while in the midst of a panic.
While driving to work the car attempted to stall and the etc light came on. the car seemed to go neutral, then gag, then regained it's composure. i immediately pulled off. car was in cold weather but never had this issue before, in mn. temps the manual said it was the etc electric throttle control, but didn't indicate it was a major concern, unless light stayed on . what would be a major concern other than getting rear ended by a pile of cars? i've never had this with any car, it was totally a new light i've never seen. i made it to work afterwards. on the way back home, the etc light came on again -- flashing, then off -- car stayed rolling. perhaps it is more inclined to stall going uphill with the etc, and while it's rolling downhill, less inclined to stall? who knows, but i don't think this is just a couple patriots out there, because there's already more than 500 people who've complained of this issue. i contacted dealer - but they did not admit to any recalls for my patriot - even when i stated others have had this exact issue. i am very reluctant to take my jeep anywhere but a few blocks in this winter weather. this was truly the first time i felt unsafe in it. mileage is 89,000. however, should an accident occur i will certainly sue the company. *tr
In august 2016 driving along and the car stalled and the engine light and electrical light and my 4 wheel drive light came on. the four wheel drive stayed on as well and the car sputtered then stopped. would not go. had it towed to a mechanic and he said the electronic body throttle needed replaced. ridiculous,i contacted the dealership but didn't hear back so i had it fixed and replaced. monday decemeber 12th while driving home from work at 45 miles an hour my jeep stalled and then completely died on the road. i managed to get it off the road at a coast. had it towed again and the mechanic said i need a new engine. this is what happened the mechanic said "due to abrasive debris in the balance shaft bearings, these engines may have a loss of engine oil pressure, possibly resulting in an engine stall or engine failure," said nhtsa in its summary of the problem. "if the engine stalls while driving, it may increase the risk of a crash." the same as the recall,i called the dealership and they said my warranty expired and my jeep was not on the recall. just because it wasn't on the list does not mean there could not be the same problem. my jeep did the same thing twice while driving,stalled and then died. *tr
Takata recall. i want a timely remedy to this situation!
My engine light has been popping on and off for the last 6 weeks. could not find the issue that was causing it.now the last 2 weeks my dash light that signals a electrical throttle issue.it was having issues of gaining speed and decelerating.yesterday august 18th it put my jeep into 4 wheel drive and my engine light plus the throttle light came on.i could not move my jeep i was fortunate that i was sitting still in a parking lot.i had only returned to my car after work and turned it on and this is what it did.it is at the repair shop now waiting on what the issue is and how it cam about. .
We are currently in our 4th stay at the dealership since may 2016 with the same problem. while driving, the electronic stability control and/or electronic throttle control indicator will ding and light up causing the wheels to lose power (it is like you are in neutral), the brakes to become hard (you can't depress them), and the steering becomes tight. the three previous times to the dealership (griffin dodge tifton ga), we've been told that they replaced the stability control sensor, the intake manifold gasket, wiring harness to the transmission, and most recently the cpu (feb 2017).
On march 8 2016 at 2.00 am i was going to pick up my daughter from work and was on the expressway and the car wouldn't accelerate over 40 miles. i try to pick up. speed and it sound like the engine was falling apart i was almost rear ended i exited off the expressway drove home on the side street and called a family member for a ride i could have been killed i am going to call the service department were i purchased the vehicle and get the vehicle inspected because this car is not even 2 years old.
Purchased a 2014 jeep patriot (used) on 03/15/2014 was going to work at 5am. all of a sudden was in 2 lane jeep started loosing power, skipping bad,it did not wont to run!!! finally got it out of the road. this was in august of 2015. called my husband he came we got it back home. police stopped to see if i was ok now i called the jeep recall place and gave them my vin number said no recalls . so now the jeep will not start when i turn the ignition on! have to do it several times to get it to crank!!! we live up on mountain now it started again the same thing!!!! hesitates going up the mountain and also on straight flat road!!! so what am i suppose to do???? it scares me thinking i am going to get stranded on side of road anytime, especially at 5 in the mornings!!!! still doing the same thing!!! i just feel like i aint the only one this has happen to with the jeeps.
Electric light, traction control light and engine light turn on and the engine is rough idling. the vehicle will not accelerate or brake. the brake pedal become pressurized and will not respond or depress.
On well traveled mining roads in 4wd, when one tire slips, the vehicle would not even pull its own weight and the engine would not rev over 2,000 rpm. i back up, put the vehicle in 4x4 low and if any wheel slips, it would stop at 2,000 rpm again. all i can do is back down a dangerous road and try to find a spot where i can turn around. this has happened multiple times, been to 2 dealers in 2 states 4 times. the vehicle stranded me on several occasions doing the same thing in dangerous area with cliffs or steep drop offs to rivers and rock out crops on one side. chrysler hq said they will not work on my vehicle anymore and that the truck is performing as designed! designed to strand someone on a well traveled mining road the other pickups can get to without 4x4? i bought this 4x4 with the off road trail rated package because that's what the selling dealer said i needed for mining. it has not been off road. i can't even get to where i work and this vehicle has even failed on very small hills with dealership personnel in the vehicle. another dealer test drove it, failed and wouldn't go over 2,300 rpm. they said they didn't know what to do. they duplicated the problem in 4x4 drive, 4x4 low, with and without traction control. when this happens, the vehicle will not pull its own weight and no wheels are even spinning. very dangerous design and can't even get to my job! when i have to back down because it will not go forward i have to make sure it's a place perpendicular to the slope of the incline or you are stuck diagonal to the road and the vehicle will not go forward and there is no more room to back up without going off a cliff, falling into a river or sliding into a canyon. *tr
