Daughter called in panic, jeep was unable to accept fuel while pumping. i advised her to try another pump, still same problem. took about 15 minutes to get 5 gallons of fuel in jeep for her to make it home. took jeep to dealership and stated that a shut off valve in tank had malfunctioned and gas tank needed to be replaced ($1500 parts and labor) and dealership said this was a common problem...wait what, a common problem, why is there not a recall on something like this? less than 50k miles and needs a new tank... dealership said not a safety issue??? being stuck on i95 at night not being able to get gas is a big safety issue.
During a road trip, i went to gas up my jeep and the pump would not allow me to put gas in the car. i was 5 months pregnant stranded with no gas. i later when to several other gas stations same issue. i took it to a shop and they told me that i needed to replace the curler neck which was $180, when they installed it, the issue was not resolved. i took it to another shop and they could not fix the issue as well. i finally took it to a dealership and they mentioned it could be the fuel tank which was $1200 or the evap system which is $900 but they weren't entirely sure what the issue was either. i am currently using a gas can but the problem is getting worse because now it will only allow me to put small amount of gas even when the tank is empty.
My 2014 jeep patriot vehicle started to loose engine power really fast and started to jerk and slow down on it's own barely any power. two dash trouble lights came on. a engine trouble light and a lighting bolt trouble light both came on. i immediately barely pulled the car into an empty parking lot close by. had i been on a highway traveling a higher speed area this would have been disastrous ! i was able to shut the car off and restart the car after waiting and luckily there was an auto parts store nearby. upon checking the dash lights with their computer unit it was determined it was a failed throttle control unit . after it was checked a day later at the local jeep dealer it was determined the throttle unit did fail. since i only had 20k miles but beyond the 3 year limit warranty they would not cover the expensive repair. i feel this should be a jeep safety recall on this part because the replacement part has been modified from the original. due to the modification i had to also purchase a new wire harness even though the older one was probably fine but wouldn't fit the newer modified replacement throttle unit. when this throttle unit fails your vehicle gets no gas so it almost shuts down immediately ! in confidence i was told by several dealer maintenance people this isn't a rare problem, but the chryslers jeep co. refused to absorb any liability or payment toward this replacement repair after i contacted them . this is strange that the replacement part has been modified or updated .....why ? the original unit is defective is my guess and should be recalled on all jeep products before a serious accident happens !
Throttle track and engine light come on and off. car will not accelerate no more than 30 rpm when it happens it may also accelerate on its own when foot on break .
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.
The roll-over check valve in the gas tank becomes stuck open and the gas tank will not fill. if the car rolls over, all the gas would spill out. the only fix according to jeep is for me to pay $1600 for a new gas tank for a problem that happens with normal use of the car.
Takata recall i have a 2014 jeep patriot it has 20,456 miles. the last six month i have had repairs on fuel tank, first one last about 3 month the last one don in july 2019 lasted 2 days. i can't fill my tank. it will put a little gas in and then cut off. these repairs have cost me 125.oo ea time . this would be ok if it worked.
Pcm needing to be 'updated' and now my car is stopping while driving. the battery, traction control, and engine light all went off at the same time and stopped my car. lost control of steering and it would not go over 20mph. how dangerous!! read online that there are hundreds of the same complaints and jeep hasn't made this a recall yet? what a shame. pathetic. happened 5/17/19 though this file isn't accepting 2019 dates..???
When turning on a highway the vehicle accelerated on its own the brakes did not stop it . i almost hit a tree the vehicle slowed after hitting the isle to get off the road. the dealership said the throttle body needed to be replaced had it replaced the vehicle has 35000 miles on it very dangerous situation
I was driving 60mph and my check engine light, throttle control light and abs light kick on. jeep drops down to 40 mph and will not accelerate, going uphill it drops to about 20 mph. if you go to stop when these lights are on the vehicle lurches forward and it hard idles. throws codes of electronic throttle control malfunction. vehicle is not safe to drive and dealer recommends not driving it. this is dangerous and there should be a recall.
When driving, car will suddenly shut down, and the red lightning bolt will come on as well as the traction control. the check engine light came on as well. it will be fine for a couple days, and then out of nowhere the issue will happen again. this is extremely dangerous as to where i lose control is unknown. i have researched this issue, and have found many people with this same issue. i see a lawsuit waiting to happen. i only have 51,000 miles on my car. this is ridiculous.
Remove and replace fuel tank assembly due to faulty check valve causing enability to fill tank without clicking off and spitting fuel back at you. no emissions code.
While driving, throttle sensor light comes on along with the engine light, the traction control light, and four wheel drive light. total loss of power and engine begins to flutter to where it wants to stall. have to stop on the side of the road and shut the jeep off and attempt to regain power, to which the same thing happens again.
The throttle body needs replacing after suddenly losing power to the vehicle. the red light comes on along with the check engine. simple research shows this is a well known problem, yet jeep wants over $800 to replace it. this is truly deceptive and should be replaced on all vehicles without cost particularly given how dangerous of a situation it creates without advanced warning.
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
Loss of power upon acceleration. diagnostic revealed defective throttle body and accelerator pedal sensor requiring replacement. mechanic says it is a very common problem with 2014 jeep patriot and that they have replaced many on this vehicle
My 2014 jeep patriot will not accelerate and has hesitation after acceleration at a stop signal or sign. i use "premium" gas, thinking that regular gas was the issue. i have almost been in 2 separate accidents, one recent situation on 8/13/2018 when my patriot "hesitated" after turning onto a road with oncoming traffic. my vehicle would not accelerate causing the person behind me to "hard brake" to not hit me, as well as the driver behind him. i have only had this vehicle for 4 months and do not feel this is a safe vehicle, especially driving in city traffic.
The vehicle starts to rev up really high and then begins to put alone turn it off the light goes out the five minutes into driving and comes back on and almost cuts off in mid traffic
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.
The dash lights of a lighting bolt and traction control come on. the jeep starts lurching and sputtering. the max speed goes to about 25 miles per hours. this has happened 5 times and the dealers can't tell me what's wrong, no codes appear. this is very unsafe and i am paying for a vehicle that can't be driven.
The roll over check valve inside the gas tank gets stuck. if it sticks up it prevents gas tank venting. if it sticks down it allows gas to flow from the vent if the vehicle were to roll over. mine stuck up. when i disected the tank i had to pry the check valve out. once i got it out i found it moves freely through 270 degrees, but if you rotate it through the other 90 degrees it gets stuck.
Vehicle lost power and went into limp mode due to faulty throttle body. per research and mechanics statement there is known issues with the cheap, poor made throttle body in this vehicle.
Fuel tank will not accept gas. on most gas pumps the fuel clicks off every o.25 gallon. the only way to fill the tank is to barely open the fuel nozzle, so the tank fills very slowly. trouble with that is the fuel doesn't shut off at all. i just fill the tank until it spills out. jeep wants over $1,600 to replace the fuel tank. i can spill a lot of gas for that price!
When driving my 2014 jeep patrioit sport it suddenly kinda jerks and wants to stall like its choking. or not getting gas. this happens on regular roads, and highways. especially after turning even slightly. everything i have read says there have been recalls pertaining to this. but when i look up my vin. it says my car has no open recalls. could it be that it was recalled and fixed incorrectly? or have u just not recalled my jeep yet? it's pretty scary and all the mechanics who look at it, say they can't don't know what it is because nothing pops up when they hook it to diagnostic machine. it is a regular occurrence. i love my car. but lately i feel nervous driving it. for fear it will completely lose power while on busy highway. so i avoid them at all cost. will try to invest more money to try to find the problem after tax time, but this is an issue i have never experienced befor. i wrote a date this happened in the date field because it was required. but it happens almost every time i drive. at any speed.
At 27,900 miles the plastic gears in the throttle body failed, causing an unexpected loss of power while in traffic and climbing a hill. i did my research and learned that this issue has existed since 2007 with no permanent solution. this manifests itself as an intermittent loss of power until the electronic throttle control instrument panel light comes on at which point i took it to the dealer and they replaced the throttle body. there is an excellent video by motor city mechanic on youtube that explains this issue in detail. it's only a matter of time before one of these fails at speed and someone is killed.
The electronic throttle control on my 2014 jeep patriot latitude malfunctioned. while attempt to start the vehicle it bang to shake violently and bucked as i attempted to move it forward. the car has fewer than 50,000 miles on it. the electronic throttle control needed to be replaced per the dealers diagnostics. this was not covered under my powertrain warranty and, from what i've heard, is a common issue. i hope this results in a recall as this could have been dangerous had it happened once i was traveling.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep patriot. while driving various speeds greater than 50 mph, the vehicle suddenly began jerking and hesitating before losing power and shutting off. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump was faulty and needed to be replaced. the fuel pump was replaced, but the failure continued. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 12,000.
I purchased this vehicle with 34, 000 miles dec 2015. it ran well until 3000 mi into driving it, some days it would not start. it would take me multiple attempts of turning the ignition......no cranking .....just nothing. so i took it to the dealer i purchased it from and they said it started fine, no problems. well it continued to occur without any notice and i returned to the dealer 5000 mi. later and they said for an xtra $40.00 they could perform a diagnostic test! i explained i felt they should do that at their expense since i only bought the car in dec. they declined and said if i were change my mind they would run a test.....6 months later the car sometimes starts and now its loosing power on hills and highway.....poor pickup....im fedup and ready to sell this vehicle and i have extended warranty on this car that im paying for and cant even depend on it.
Traveling east on hy89 at approx 08:30 with cc set at 70. on 6% uphill grade rpm dropped to 2300 and speed to about 35, pressed acceler and fuel shut off. car has auto trans with cvt trans. fiddled with gear shift and acceleration resumed. on the way back had same experience but when rpm started to drop, turned off cc and operation was normal. no problems with smaller hills. made same trip several times prior with rpm around 3500 and speed about 60 in same spots.
