Sitting at a red light, vehicle engine light came on followed by the throttle warning light. Vehicle lost power and engine felt like it would stall. Vehicle would only drive at very low speed to get to safety. After restarting, engine light remained on, vehicle was drivable but soon failed again within a few miles and the throttle warning light came on again. Stability control light may come on as well. Was too concerned with getting to safety to know for sure.
I have to protest to call stability control to be safe device. In over 120 000 miles on the tiers I replaced if remember right: 6 sets of breaks sets, 5 new new rotors, 2 calipers breaks assemble, front house breaks line. Driving on the straight highway the vehicle suddenly engage the breaks at random. Some time making me see sick. I remember driving 60 miles an hour the brakes engage nearly pushed me in to another car. Recently travel to mouton regain. The breaks slowing me down. For no know cause. I noticed danger pater too. When I make a turn in the winding road, the car is getting extremely dangers. The car braking down when I intend to accelerate. This collision of interest resulting in: My transmission is down steps good, the RPM go to extreme. First from 1,500 race to 2000 then 3000 then 5000 slowing down the car. When finely breaks are released it kick like a mule trying to force me of the route. Don't know way any one need that tip of traction control?. this is my second vehicle in the row, that have computer problem to. Random action on in and out components. The last one Dodge acclaim forced to trade in because computer replacement did not solved problem, I tested ABS breaks on slow speed. It was only a test 10 miles an hour. I end up I ditch. It was a winter snow. Only a test, miner damage to plastic fender. Is it passable to return to regular breaks, that work. The engine control unit prohibit that action sanction by state inspection. ( no inspection can be pass when warning light is on). Can any way I can get replacement for: Generic computer" generic breaks system? maybe I can get waive for installation of that system" I am a industrial mechanic by trade and passion. Can easy wired any components I need. [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
I had all the issues that was stated in the recalls but my VIN number wasnt part of recall I am on my thrid motor replaced and electrical still isnt working properly I purchased brand new 2014 and within first year needed new engine when ifiled complaint nothing was done by Jeep or dealer, just replaced the engin last month now the alternator needs replacing and transmission blew yesterday all of these issues happened while I was driving
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.

Voltage light comes on and Jeep goes into "limp mode", basically loses all power. Costing $1000 plus 2 towing fees to get fixed. Only 85,000 miles on the vehicle. After a little research, I've found this happens all the time.
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.
I needed to replace my throttle body unit on this car at 75,000 miles. The car is only 5 years old. I have seen numerous complaints about this same issue. 3 lights came on: The electronic stability control, malfunction indicator (check engine), and the electronic throttle control. My car could not surpass 30 mph which was incredibly dangerous on the highway. Additionally, the car was jerky and would jerk forward even when braking. This seems to be a recurring/known issue. I believe a recall of this specific part is needed.
Wow, just wow!! all the complaints on the 2014 Jeep Patriot. Mine is at the Jeep dealership getting a new throttle body kit. (600$$)....I am not sure if I ever want to drive it again after what happened to me. Lost power and all the lights came on in S curves on a rural road...had to creep at 10 miles and hour hoping to get off the road. No recalls are crazy considering all the complaints.
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.
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.
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 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 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.

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.
