2010 Jeep Patriot Vehicle speed control Problems

“The car was in drive going 60mph. It jerked several times and went into limp mode to 20mph. The electronic throttle light as well as the traction control light went on. I took it to my mechanic he confirmed the car needed the throttle body. The part was on back order due to a redesign (red flag there). It took three weeks for the part to come in. My mechanic replaced the part and my Patriot is still going into limp mode. The computer threw out many codes. …”

“Since I bought my keep in july 2020 .. Everytime I've filled my gas tank all the way .. At first my Jeep would do a little jumping on regular stree as I drive towards freeway but after a little bit it would go away .. But as I continue to drive for about 15 min on freeway my Jeep begins to make this whining sound and then my Jeep would accelerate above 5 on its own (scary) then would go back to normal this usually was while going up a hill on freeway .. Whining cont. And accelerating may happen once more while going up the hill .. Then my transmission temp light will come on . …”

“Jeep seems to get revved up and gets stuck there, and I can't seem to stop it short off shutting it down. Last time this happened was on 10/8/12 as I was getting on freeway. I was not going more than 30 miles an hour when all of a sudden it revved up to about 5. However, when I took foot off gas it did not go down, even after tapping brake. Also, even after giving gas again, could barely get it to move so I could get to side of road,(thank goodness nobody was behind me) as I coasted over and shut it down right there, after restarting it was fine. …”

“I have a 2010 Jeep Patriot sport with 50000 miles on it. I also had the dealership install an auto start for winter months to warm up car. I drove the car on dec 7 for 10 miles traveling at a speed of 40. I stopped home for 15 minutes and when I restarted my car a red flashing lightning bolt lit up on my dash which was the throttle accompanied by the off road traction control. I backed out the car and it was shaking and loud. I decided to drive another vehicle a few days later I drove it to the dealership taking the backroads and it would not go over 20 MPH and shook frequently. …”

“Gas tank cannot be filled up all the way as the car stalls and turns off in less then a mile. The car has no acceleration more then 20mhp and takes a long time in gaining speed when trying to take off after a stop and when changing lanes. Car lacks power when driving on highways, creating traffic and panic in the driver. Car is a hazard on the road and mechanics are aware but no one seems to find the issue and correct.”
