MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THROTTLE BODY RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL OF VEHICLE. BACK IN 2017, I HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR JERKING, CUTTING OUT, AND LOSING POWER. TOOK CAR TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED. AGAIN DURING THE SUMMER OF 2020, VEHICLE STARTED LOSING ABILITY TO CONSISTENTLY ACCELERATE. CAR BEGAN JERKING, CUTTING OUT, AND LOSING POWER ON THE ROADS AND HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE THROTTLE LIGHT, STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL, AND ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THROTTLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. REPORTED TO JEEP CORPORATE OFFICE WITH NO RESOLUTION. SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. JEEP DOESN'T CARE AND IS CLAIMING NO RESPONSIBILITY UNTIL A RECALL HAS TO BE ISSUED.

ON MARCH 4, WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN WARM-UP PHASE AT HOME, IN IDLE, A SHARP SNAP WAS HEARD (LATER DISCOVERED WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY), THEN VEHICLE SET TWO CODES (P0171, P2173), AND IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO LIMP MODE (TRACTION CONTROL OFF, THROTTLE BODY REDUCED POWER, ABS FOR SLOWING VEHICLE IF BEING DRIVEN ABOVE SLOWER SPEEDS FOR LIMP MODE). WE WERE ON A SCHEDULE, SO VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY AND WE USED OUR OTHER VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT. BOTH CODES WERE RESEARCHED TO DETERMINE BEST REPAIR METHODS. SINCE THE P0171 WAS A REPEAT CODE, AND THE P2173 WAS AN UNFAMILIAR SAE CODE NOT NORMALLY USED ON MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES, A COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY OF THE INTAKE WAS WARRANTED. I AM MECHANICALLY COMPETENT DUE TO TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE AND KNOW MY OWN LIMITS OF COMPETENCY AND TOOLS FOR REPAIR. HERE ARE THE BASICS FOR REFERENCE OF WHAT WAS FOUND. 1. THE PCV VALVE (MULTIAIRE) HAD FAILED AT THE INTERNAL PINTLE, AND WAS ALLOWING CRANKCASE AIR/OIL TO ENTER THE INTAKE AT TOO HIGH A VOLUME. IT WAS REPLACED. THE MAP SENSOR SET THE P2173 CODE, THEN FAILED DUE TO OIL INTRUSION AND WAS REPLACED. THE RAPID SNAPPING OF THE THROTTLE BODY UNDER PRESSURE UNCALIBRATED THE INTERNAL THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS, AND COULD NOT MAINTAIN PROPER POSITION WAS REPLACED. THE INTAKE MANIFOLD (NEWER DESIGN FOR THE 2.0L I4 WITHOUT THE FLAPPER CONTROLS JUST GUIDE VEINS FOR THE INTAKE AIR) MAIN GASKET HAD SHRUNK IN THE PLASTIC INTAKE SEAT CHANNEL AND WAS ALLOWING OUTSIDE AIR (P0171) TO SEEP PAST THE GASKET ON THE LOWER LIP OF THE GASKET, AND WAS ALSO NOT SEALING BETWEEN THE CYLINDERS (GASES WERE TRANSFERRING BETWEEN THE CYLINDERS). THE THROTTLE BODY GASKET WAS PRISTINE. DURING REPAIR, PRESSURE TESTED INTAKE FOR LEAKS, AND TUBES AND LINES FOR CRACKS. READING SAE CODE P2173 WAS DETERMINED THAT CODE AND SUBSEQUENT LIMP MODE WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD. IT WORKED.*DT CONSUMER STATED THE REASON FOR GASKET NOT SEALING, BLOW BY-GASES FROM ONE CYLINDER TO ANOTHER. CYLINDER HEAD WAS CHECK AND PLASTIC INTAKE FOR WARPING, THE

IN THE SUMMER OF 2019 I STARTED A SUMMER JOB TO EARN A LITTLE CASH FOR COLLEGE. AROUND 3-4 WEEKS WHEN I GOT THE CAR. I WENT TO WORK AND ARRIVED FOR 4:30 AM, BECAUSE I WORK WITH MY MOM AND THAT IS WHEN SHE STARTS WORK. FOR ME I START WORK AT 5:00 AM SO I SIT IN THE CAR FOR 30 MINS JUST LISTENING TO MUSIC. AROUND THAT TIME I SUDDENLY HEAR A POP NOISE AND MY HEAD WAS PUSHED FORWARD WITH A DECENT AMOUNT OF FORCE THAT I STARTED HAVING A HEADACHE. I LOOKED AROUND TO SEE IF A CAR HAD HIT ME, BUT I SAW NO CAR IN MOTION AROUND ME AT ALL. THAT'S WHEN I SAW THAT MY HEADREST WAS POPPED OUT AND WAS CONFUSED AS TO WHY. I STILL CONTINUED TO GO TO WORK WITH A HEADACHE AFTERWARDS.*DT CONSUMER STATED HEADSET WAS REPLACED.*JB

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THROTTLE CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON, MY VEHICLE THEN LOSES ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS PASS BY WITH MY CAR BEING FINE AND THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN EXCEPT THIS TIME MY CAR WONT START BACK AT ALL. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHERE I PAID FOR TOWING. VEHICLE WAS LIMP AND WANTED TO STALL. NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW SPARK PLUGS AND THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT. MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY HAZARD ISSUE WITH JEEPS AND THIS THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE ON RECALL ALREADY.

I HAVE A 2014 KEEP COMPASS WITH A 2.0L ENGINE AND FOR SOME TIME NOW IT HAS BEEN STALLING OUT REALLY BAD AND ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH WANTING TO START BUT TODAY ON DECEMBER THE 9TH AT ABOUT 5:30PM OR SO I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT A HIGH SPEED OF ABOUT 80MPH WHEN I HAD NOTICED MY CAR WAS TRYING TO GET KINDA HOT SO I TURNED MY HEATER ON TO SEE IF THAT WOULD DROP THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOWN ANY WHICH MIND YOU IT DID NOT BUT INSTEAD I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER AND ALSO ACCELERATION AS WELL AND WHEN I WOULD GIVE GAS IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING BUT RISE MY RPMS TO EXTREMELY HIGH LEVEL SO THE ONLY THING I KNEW TO DO WAS GET IT OFF OF THE ROAD AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. WHAT'S CONCERNING ME THOUGH IS THAT THEIR IS A RECALL ON MY CAR BUT WITH A 2.4L ENGINE NOT THE 2.0L BUT WHEN I WAS READING THE RECALL FOR SAID ENGINE TYPE THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS APPLIED TO WHAT MY CAR DID TODAY SO I'M WONDERING IF THAT RECALL SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE 2.0L ENGINES AS WELL.
