Takata recall. My car has around 35,000 miles on it. The past few days in the morning, when I start my car, it starts but then hesitates. It will hesitate for around 20 seconds. The car was in park, in a driveway of a house. I think it only happens when the car has been off for a period of time.

My 2014 jeep patriot will not accelerate and has hesitation after acceleration at a stop signal or sign. I use "premium" gas, thinking that regular gas was the issue. I have almost been in 2 separate accidents, one recent situation on 8/13/2018 when my patriot "hesitated" after turning onto a road with oncoming traffic. My vehicle would not accelerate causing the person behind me to "hard brake" to not hit me, as well as the driver behind him. I have only had this vehicle for 4 months and do not feel this is a safe vehicle, especially driving in city traffic.

My 2014 jeep patriot will not accelerate without having hesitation. The vehicle has 64,000 miles on it. When you press on the gas whether you are moving or stopped, it almost stalls and then has to reset it self to go above 30mph. The etc light comes on and then disappears. This has happened all week. Seeing how many people have had this issue on this site and others, there should definitely be a recall. This is a dangerous and scary situation for a vehicle that is not even 5 years old to slow and/or stop while you are trying to accelerate.

Was driving on I 95 south and the engine just starter to hesitate and quit for no reason. Took car to chrisler dodge dealer and they are saying the engine needs to be replaced and chrisler will not honor the warranty because they said there was no records of oil changes. November 6, 2013 the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v552000 loss of oil pressure may result in engine stall I asked about this issue that was identified, but they are telling me that the issue had to be speciffically identified to the VIN number. But not to worry, chrisler can sell me a new engine for $6,900. They keep saying the parts for the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v668000 manufacturer chrysler (fca us llc) components seat belts, air bags still are not available. I am sure for $2,000 or so, chrisler may be able to get them case by case. Frustrated!

On several occasions I notice that when I go start my jeep it the engine has a bit of hesitation starting, when it starts it like thump. Also while drive my vehicle seem to increase an at time decrease on its own. Today I did a search on recalls and found one safety recall n52. I contacted chrysler to inquire about the recall and was told there were no recalls for my jeep. I explained that the federal safety agency had the recall information on their web site, and was informed that it is not the federal safety agency who puts recalls. Recalls are VIN specific. I'm a little baffle by the woman at chrysler's comment, due to the fact that she has no idea of what is happening with my vehicle. I thank the woman and stated that I honestly hope the information given is correct and that I am safe on the roads. Personally I don't trust the manufactures due to having past recalls on vehicles and recieving no notification. My question to the federal safety agency is regarding recall n52 is this a VIN specific recall or is this a recall for 2014 jeep patriot owners. I also notice the issue another person had with the rear brake squealing.
