2012 Jeep Patriot: check engine light

Filed Dec 16, 2022 · Engine · FL

Intake manifold flow valve was replaced and so was the manifold. One month later my vehicle threw an engine light for code p2015 for the same issue. I then replace the valve again three days after thinking it was a faulty part and almost a week last same code with the engine light. It give very bad idling and with jump the rpm to almost 4k before the vehicle even moves. Needless to say pulling out in traffic would be impossible unless I was to be hit by multiple vehicles.

I had my check engine light come on. I went to auto zone and had them run a quick dx check to see why the engine light came on. The code that came up reported an issue with my gas cap or fuel sensor. I am not able to pump gas into my vehicle without the pump shutting off continuously; when pumping my gas I have to hold the pumps lever and it will still lose pressure and shut off. I have to pump very slowly in order to fill up my vehicle. When going down the highway I can feel a surge in my acceleration and I have noticed issues in being able to pick up speed. I also started to have an issue with a loud clicking when turning on my heat or AC. I started looking in the problems more on jeepscares forums. I saw various reports on both issues, on one of the posts they encouraged anyone having issues with the fuel sensor to report the problem to the federal safety agency.

A few months ago my vehicle started to randomly stall and jerk. We thought nothing of it. Then a few weeks ago my engine light came on and a warning that something was wrong with the fuel cap. A few days later all of that stopped coming on. Yesterday as I was pulling out of my neighborhood several lights came on for the stability control and the electrical throttle light came on as well. I was going up a hill and my vehicle barely made it up the hill. I got back to my driveway turned it off and tried again and it was the same issue. I've made an appointment at the dealership to find out the problem, but this came out of no where. I haven't tried to drive the vehicle for safety reasons.

My 2012 jeep patriot 4wd 2.4l is around 106,000 miles. About 2 months ago, I was pumping gas and I noticed it was only pumping about 75 cents at a time before stopping. I thought it was a faulty pump but soon began to realize it happened everywhere! My check engine light also comes every now and then, warning me that the catalytic converter is faulty. So I found the recalls for both of these problems which include 2012 patriots, yet they say my car is not covered by the recall. Seriously? The only recall that is covered for my car is 16v‑668 which is the occupant restraint. Why are the other problems that are popping up with everyone not covered?

The transmission overheat light illuminates on hot muggy days and the vehicle goes in limp mode. The dealer has changed radiator, water pump, thermostat, transmission fluid,catalytic converter, oxygen sensors and gas cap. As the check engine light has also illuminated. No codes are in system for the transmission light so the dealer says they cannot find issue. Called chrysler customer service and they were worthless indicating if the dealer cannot find the issue they cannot do anything. This issue has been reported many times to chrysler on other vehicles with no response from chrysler. Vehicle is unsafe to drive with this condition. It has 106k. On odometer

2012 jeep patriot 4wd the catalytic converter recall includes 2012 jeep patriot front wheel drive vehicles; however, my four wheel drive vehicle is experiencing this same issue. My jeep should be covered under the recall. This is a safety concern that needs to be addressed. I did not even know this was a recall until it was too late. This malfunction caused my check engine light to come on while in motion on a city road, and it should be fixed by dodge/chrysler/jeep immediately.

Car wouldn't start one month ago. It wouldn't even turn after 3 attempts. After 10 minutes it started right up and had been normal. Today, 9/15/19, my car started up fine but 2 minutes into driving at 20mph my car lost all power. I was driving through my work parking lot driving in a forward motion. Several lights lit up in my dashboard prior to losing power. I was fortunate enough to not be on the freeway. I put my car in brake and restarted it. It started right up, but now has check engine light displayed. My battery is a few months old. I've tested it and it's charged. I'm afraid to drive my car and consider it not in a drivable state. If my car were to die on the freeway that would be a very dangerous situation. Car defect that caused this is unknown. .

On my way to work, my car stalled 3 times while at a stop light and once while moving. After the moving stall, my engine light came on. The error code is p0339. It also stalled twice on my way home from work. It didn't stall while I was moving on the second trip because my foot happened to be on the gas when it tried to stall. I felt the car jerk backwards then re-engage the engine back to where it was before it almost stalled. The car had done a little jerk every once in a while, but now it's multiple times in a single trip.
