NHTSA Complaint #10555799 — 2010 JEEP PATRIOT

I HAVE A 2010 JEEP PATRIOT SPORT WITH 50000 MILES ON IT. I ALSO HAD THE DEALERSHIP INSTALL AN AUTO START FOR WINTER MONTHS TO WARM UP CAR. I DROVE THE CAR ON DEC 7 FOR 10 MILES TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 40. I STOPPED HOME FOR 15 MINUTES AND WHEN I RESTARTED MY CAR A RED FLASHING LIGHTNING BOLT LIT UP ON MY DASH WHICH WAS THE THROTTLE ACCOMPANIED BY THE OFF ROAD TRACTION CONTROL. I BACKED OUT THE CAR AND IT WAS SHAKING AND LOUD. I DECIDED TO DRIVE ANOTHER VEHICLE A FEW DAYS LATER I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TAKING THE BACKROADS AND IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH AND SHOOK FREQUENTLY. I WAS CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. I HAVE A LIFETIME POWERTRAIN ENGINE WARRANTY AND THOMAS DODGE DEALERSHIP IN HIGHLAND, IN IS NOT COVERING UNDER WARRANTY. THEY STATE THE THROTTLE IS NOT A COMPONENT OF THE ENGINE OR POWER TRAIN. THE COST OF REPAIR IS $690. I WAS WONDERING IF ANY RECALLS EXIST ON THE CHRYSLER, DODGE AND JEEPS IN REGARDS TO THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND TO CONSIDER MY MODEL, MAKE AND YEAR. *TR
