I have a 2013 Jeep Patriot and the engine and temperature light comes on; on top on that it starts to decrease in speed slowing down out of nowhere I just started financing this vehicle and read reviews that others are having the same problem on repeat spending a lot of money on trying to repair the same issues. It's definitely a hazard that is not a solid fix. Hopefully me reaching out can help my problem and others. I am using this vehicle for work so it is very important that it's safe and secures my finances as well.

This vehicle dies constantly while driving. Doesnt matter the speed, 5mph or 75mph, it will die out of no where. Its incredibly dangerous, I cannot tell you how many accidents this has almost caused. It apparently is a known and frequent problem with these SUV's that needs to be corrected! I've had different codes come up at different times. From crankshaft position sensor to O2 sensor to throttle body to catalytic converter. The fuel mileage is suddenly terrible out of no where as well. This is ridiculous. Everywhere I've read about people taking it to the dealership just comes out worse so I'm terrified to take it to Jeep themselves!

I bought my used Jeep Patriot a year and a half ago. In the beginning it would jerk on acceleration. Now is accelerates on its own. Big clunking noise shortly after starting to drive. Looses power at times. ABS, traction control, brake, 4X4 lights all are on. Tailgate stopped opening and now the body creaks a lot

The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Patriot. While driving 30 mph, the accelerator pedal failed to respond, which caused the vehicle to gradually decelerate to 15 mph. The failure occurred without warning. The contact slowly drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine throttle control needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted at 800-521-9922 and stated that they had to look to see if the vehicle was under warranty. A case number was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.

Car decelerates while driving almost stalling at times, I have taken it to the dealership several times and they state they cannot duplicate the problem but I don't think they tried since they had my vehicle for two days for diagnostics/testing driving and drove less than 10 miles. Vehicle is very unsafe. This is the 2nd Patriot I have owned and will be my last.

Driving about 35mph. Went over a bump in the road and car accelerated a bit without touching gas pedal band brakes went out for a second. On subsequent occasions, in cold weather brakes get stuck and barely work for first couple of uses. I've seen at least one other similar complaint. I don't feel safe and feel that this vehicle endangers other drivers on the road.

As my wife was pulling into our driveway and braking to park the car, the engine sped up and all 4 wheels were spinning extremely fast causing her to thrust forward. She was not in 4 wheel drive mode at the time. She stepped on the brakes harder to see if she could stop the vehicle but the vehicle continued to increase speed and lunged out of control.the only way she thought she could stop the wheels from spinning was to put the vehicle into park. Even though she put the vehicle in park, the wheels continued to spin and the only reason the vehicle stopped moving forward was because she hit a tree. The wheels continued to spin after she hit the tree and the car was still in park and the only way to stop them from spinning was when she shut down the ignition. There was extensive front end damage and the airbags never deployed. The console lights were flickering on and off as this was happening. My wife had concerns with this before as she went to slow down or stop the vehicle at other times she felt the engine speed surge. This has happened on numerous occasions.
