“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11193106, filed 2019-04, 79,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11241707, filed 2019-08, 92,000 miles“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.”
