NHTSA Complaint #11002883 — 2014 JEEP PATRIOT

WE ARE CURRENTLY IN OUR 4TH STAY AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE MAY 2016 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL AND/OR ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR WILL DING AND LIGHT UP CAUSING THE WHEELS TO LOSE POWER (IT IS LIKE YOU ARE IN NEUTRAL), THE BRAKES TO BECOME HARD (YOU CAN'T DEPRESS THEM), AND THE STEERING BECOMES TIGHT. THE THREE PREVIOUS TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP (GRIFFIN DODGE TIFTON GA), WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED THE STABILITY CONTROL SENSOR, THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET, WIRING HARNESS TO THE TRANSMISSION, AND MOST RECENTLY THE CPU (FEB 2017).
