2016 JEEP PATRIOT Complaints

MY 2016 JEEP PATRIOT HESITATES AND JERKS WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT GO OVER 40 MPH. WHEN I STOP THEN LET OFF THE BRAKE THE VEHICLE JUMPS FORWARD WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT RUNS SLUGGISH. THERE ARE THREE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LITE UP. THE ENGINE LIGHT, THE LIGHTNING BOLT AND THE TRACTION LIGHT. *TR

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH WHEN MY WIFE HAD A RED LIGHTING BOLT APPEAR ON THE DASH BOARD, AT WHICH TIME THE POWER DROPPED OFF. SHE HAD TO MOVE ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER. ONCE IT WAS ON THE SHOULDER, SHE CALLED ME IN A PANIC. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT HOW TO RESET THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY EXPERIENCE. I CALLED JEEP DEALERSHIP AND TO MY SURPRISE THEY WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE INTERNET WAS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO HAD THIS VERY ISSUE. I CALL THEIR CORPORATE SERVICE LINE AND THEY CONFIRMED NO SAFETY RECALL EXISTS. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT CONFIRM WHETHER THEY WOULD OR WOULD NOT SELF REPORT THIS ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD INTO WORK AT NO MORE THAN 40/45 MPH. MY CAR WAS AT A SLIGHT INCLINE WHEN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, AND MY CAR POWERED DOWN TO A LOW LEVEL AND WOULDN'T INCREASE ITS SPEED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY, AND THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME BACK ON AGAIN. *TR

MY VEHICLE ENGINE HAS COME A COUPLE OF TIMES AND BEGAN STALLING WHILE DRIVING ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH WAS A RECALL (S89) BUT HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR A RECALL. *TR

MY VEHICLE DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE. WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY IN ORDER TO KEEP UP AN ACCEPTABLE SPEED I HAVE TO KEEP THE GAS PEDAL COMPLETELY PRESSED DOWN. ALSO WHEN I LEAVE A STOP LIGHT/STOP SIGN THE JEEP HAS NO ACCELERATION POWER. *TR

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, AS DID THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS AND THE ACCELERATOR CUT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS 3 LANES TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND APPARENTLY MY 2016 PATRIOT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE INTERSTATE YESTERDAY AT ABOUT 60MPH, MY JEEP SUDDENLY LOSS POWER AND STARTED SHAKING. IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AT ALL. I HAD TO QUICKLY PUT MY FLASHERS ON AS TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHILE I TRIED TO PULL INTO THE EMERGENCY SHOULDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN RESTARTED IT TO DRIVE HOME.
