TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THERE WAS A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN SPEED. MOTOR MILE (2260 ROANOKE ST, CHRISTIANSBURG, VA 24073, (540) 381-8417) AND BERGLUND CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (2525 FRANKLIN RD SW, ROANOKE, VA 24014, (540) 345-9881) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

DRIVING JEEP PATRIOT AND IT SPUTTERED SLOWING VEHICLE DOWN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY ... VERY DANGEROUS... THEN WENT INTO ' LIMP MODE' THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATED ... HAD TO REPLACE COMPLETE THROTTLE BODY WITH 80,000 MILES

I'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND MANY OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ON A 40 MPH ROAD THAT PEOPLE ARE KNOWN TO FLY DOWN AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL MY CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE BUT COMPLETELY LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DANGEROUS ROAD AS 3 LIGHTS SIMULTANEOUSLY APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD; THE LIGHTS WERE THE THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH AND ACTED QUICKLY BUT THIS IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE. WILL JEEP SIMPLY WAIT UNTIL THIS CAUSES THE DEATH OR SERIOUS ACCIDENT OF MOTORISTS? I BELIEVED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS DIRTY SO I CLEANED IT OUT FOLLOWING STANDARD PROCEDURE, HOWEVER THE THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT STILL APPEARS AND MY VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE. I WILL BE TAKING IT INTO THE SHOP VERY SOON BUT THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE VEHICLE OWNER, THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND UNCALLED FOR WHEN THE VEHICLES SUFFERING HAVE LESS THAN 50,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY FAIL TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE CONVERTER WAS FAULTY. THE THROTTLE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. *BF CONSUMER STATED THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE OCCURRED IN MARCH WHERE I ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE, IT WOULDN'T START, AND ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WERE LIT UP... INCLUDING A RED LIGHTNING BOLT IN WHICH I NEVER HAVE SEEN BEFORE! THE VEHICLE DID START FOR A MOMENT, THEN LOCKED UP AND COASTED FORWARD WHERE I PUT ON THE BRAKES TO STOP VEHICLE DUE TO OBVIOUS/ PROBLEM. PROBLEM OCCURED MORE THAN CONSUMER COULD COUNT. RADIO WOULDN'T WORK PROPERLY. 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

I'VE HAD MY JEEP FOR ONE YEAR WHEN ONE DAY A RED LIGHTENING BOLT AND AN ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD. NO ACCELERATION OR POWER. I HAD TO KEEP CUTTING MY CAR ON AND OFF IN ORDER TO MAKE IT HOME. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP THE NEXT DAY WHERE I HAD TO PAY LOTS OF MONEY TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY UNIT. 2 YEARS LATER EVEN AFTER REPLACING MY ENGINE (DUE TO AN ACCIDENT) THE SAME LIGHT HAS APPEARED AGAIN. JEEP WE NEED ANSWERS? SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM.

WHEN TRAVELING ON THE THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 80MPH, THE TRANSMISSION OIL OVERHEAT ICON APPEARS AND I WILL BEGIN TO LOSE ACCELERATION.

WHEN ARRIVING ON SATURDAY 6/1/2019 AT HOME WE PARKED OUR VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE AND WHEN WE SHUT THE DOOR WE HEAR A LOUD POPPING SOUND. NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS WE INSPECTED THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AND THEN IN THE INSIDE WE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADREST HAD COME APART. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD INDICATED THAT THE HEADREST HAD DEPLOYED DUE TO THE CLIPS INSIDE BREAKING AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY $535 TO GET IT REPAIRED. I THOUGHT THAT SAFETY EQUIPMENT OF THIS NATURE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED, AS IF A AIR BAG HAD FALSELY DEPLOYED THAT WOULD BE COVERED. I WOULD THINK THAT THIS WOULD BE A MAJOR INCIDENT AS WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED IF WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE OR WORSE YET WHAT IF ONE OF OUR KIDS WERE DRIVING AND WHAT HAPPENS IF THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYS AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I BELIEVE THAT THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT NO COST AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE AS MANY MORE INCIDENTS OF THIS NATURE HAVE BEEN REPORTED.
