2015 Jeep Patriot acceleration problems

Filed Jul 9, 2024 · Acceleration, Engine · GA

Pressure plate replaced twice and still not working with only 27301 miles. Went in for routine oil change no problems during the last warranty oil change things start to change. Returned to the dealership to express problem report back oil needed top off. Checked for recalls none reported. Truck continued to drive funny popping out of gear when driving and speed decrease while driving on the interstate. No warning lights or any indication something was wrong. I haven't driven my truck in three years due to dealership not having staff and no one is willing to work on Jeep vehicles. Total waste of money and no support. The sad part the tow truck driver towed my neighbors car and remembered towing my truck and stated he has towed many more since.

Over the past year, the car has had 4 crank position sensors, new pig tails/connectors on the wire harness, a new throttle body, and a new MCM. The Jeep will randomly shut off without warning either at stoplights/traffic or on the highway at speed. While at speed, the car will "restart" itself, but if it stalls while stagnant a manual restart is necessary. When the stalling occurs, warning lights do not appear on the dash. Lately, however; the crank position code P0339 has come up with the check engine light. I recently experienced a crank position sensor code followed by a cylinder 3 misfire which caused the car to go into limp mode. Once I replaced the MCM, the misfire went away. Most recently (today) the car stalled in the middle of an intersection while making a left turn; my [XXX] son was in the car with me. Since it was a stop light, the car was able to be restarted in time, but had it been a stop sign/non-stop oncoming traffic, the situation could have been much worse.

I'm having acceleration issues and the roms are going too high before shifting. And the steering column starts shaking on the highway after o get going fast like 45 or so. There's one light on and it's my low tire pressure light, but the tires aren't really low. And the issue has been occuring on and off periodically since after I had my brake job in November. It might be an issue with the brake job because I can hear the brakes rubbing. But I sought advice from a mechanic and he thinks its the TCM that needs to be serviced. The issue hasn't occured for a couple weeks and then it occured again today.

My truck goes into a code where the electric throttle control light, the engine light, and the tire traction light comes on. When the vehicle does this it reduces the speed to 35 no matter what or where you are. When you ho get the engine light checked, the code says it's a suction problem 🙄. Jeep started doing this in the colder weather than progressed to every other week

I am having the same issue as just about everyone here with this make and model vehicle. I have stalled twice and one of those times almost caused an accident because I was exiting the highway when it stalled. Many times now for the past several months it has been slowing down to a crawl and repeatedly hesitating like it's choking. This happens presently, at almost every turn I make and sometimes I have to pull over and restart the vehicle. Definitely should be looked into as it most certainly is a road safety concern/issue.

Purchased my 2015 jeep patriot on 10/16/2020. Three hours later, as I was driving home, I had a major loss of power (went from highway speeds to 10mph) and the dash lit up with the check engine light, traction control and "lightning bolt" all flashing or lit. I also lost the ability to accelerate and the jeep would only coast at 10mph and would shake/shudder if stopped.
