2014 Jeep Patriot acceleration problems

Filed Oct 2, 2024 · Acceleration, Engine · NY

My jeep would suddenly jerk forward almost rear ending people at red lights without any warning. While traveling at approximately 45 mph the engine light came on my jeep. As I went to pull over the engine started bucking/jerking then the engine light flashed. I was barely able to pull over on the side of the road before the car completely stalled. I had to have towed to a dealership as it was no longer drivable. I was almost on the highway. The dealership said I had total engine failure and should buy a new car. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. I ASSOCIATE THE FAILURE WITH the federal safety agency CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V552000 (ENGINE) That has been open since of 11/2013. But my vehicles VIN “wasn’t included”. I was driving with my four small kids in my jeep.

Was driving 55 on highway and jeep started sputtering and jumping. Then check engine light and throttle body sensor light came on. Limped it home with flashers on at 30 MPH. It would not go any faster.

The exhaust manifolds seem to be cracking in the same place. But the most popular issues is the red lightning bolt- check engine light(u0401)- and the traction controlf lights come on the dash and the car is stuck in "limp mode" and everyone is saying on jeeps site that its the throttle body and then some still have problems after that. I saw online there is a recall for the breaks, the engine in 2013, and the airbags and seat belt on the passenger side but I go to all the official sites and when I use my VIN the only recall is for the seatbelt. Please help

The check engine light came on and the car had a roughy start just three weeks ago and I was told I had a bad alternator my car stopped when I was driving. Then it happened again three weeks later and I was told my 2014 jeep patriot had a bad throttle body and again my vehicle stopped as it was in motion in traffic. The first time it stopped I was on a city street the second time I hadn't even cleared my driveway it stopped in the street and I was able to start it again I parked it in my driveway and then had it towed to the dealership

While driving in motion on a highway, since then and going forward it throws same lights on cluster each 1/4 mile!!! My vehicle throws a few warning lights on the instrument cluster(e.t.c.aka electronic throttle control, traction control, and check engine.) the vehicle starts to sputter and completely comes to a stall. I pull over as safe as I can and turn engine off then back on only to see no lights except check engine. Tried to drive home remaining short distance only to get same lights thrown on instrument cluster then sputters and stalls out.

Sitting at a red light, vehicle engine light came on followed by the throttle warning light. Vehicle lost power and engine felt like it would stall. Vehicle would only drive at very low speed to get to safety. After restarting, engine light remained on, vehicle was drivable but soon failed again within a few miles and the throttle warning light came on again. Stability control light may come on as well. Was too concerned with getting to safety to know for sure.

2014 jeep patriot, was driving streets going 45 MPH no issues as soon as I go onto highway and began accelerating the car just lost all power and I was able to cruise it onto side of the highway, check engine light came on. Turned car off restated and tried again to see if it would happen again and as soon as I began accelerating it stalled out. I had some jerking when going uphill in march took it to dealership where they determined spark plugs were the issue, they were replaced and no issues until now. Will be dropping off car to mechanic to see what the cause of it stalling out may be.
