2014 JEEP PATRIOT Electrical System Problems

Throttle body light keeps coming on. Dealer states it is PCM issue.

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. While the contact’s daughter was driving at approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle suddenly lost motive power and decelerated unintendedly. During the failure, the power steering, brake assist, and the check engine warning lights illuminated. The driver was able to coast to the side of the road, where the vehicle was turned off. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was towed and after approximately 30 - 40 minutes, the vehicle was restarted. The contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V115000 (Electrical System); online, which indicated a similar failure and that the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM-7) might fail, causing the vehicle to stall without warning. The make and model year was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage...

My engine light and traction light and red lightning bolt light is on and it’s making the vehicle run really hard and shake and almost stall out and won’t go over 20 miles per hour

The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that upon entering the vehicle, the passenger’s side active headrest had deployed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the two plastic clips used to hold the headrest in place were fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V282000 (Electrical System, Air Bags), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 16,000. The VIN was not available.

Vehicle at random engage in breaks. This was the problem from day one and is now. I think someone need to be hold accountable for this automatic crap. This is goings-on problem in last 3 vehicle I had. Rustay wearing / display random images on the dashboard. NO ABS or Traction Control. This is dangerous when driving, making car unstable on some occasion. Deler refuse to sell me vehicle! Please tell me how I can get legal exemption from all electronics I do not need and endanger my live. One more Federal law requires mechanical speed limit to be 85MPH. Where can I get car that is safe to drive at rinsible price?

The front turn signals fail continuously as the turn signal units leak and fill with water causing the bulbs to short out. I called one dealer in the past and was told they were not covered by my warranty due to my vehicle's age, it's a 2014. The cost to repair is expensive as you have to access the turn signal unit through the front wheel wells to change the bulbs. The bulbs are inexpensive but the labor is costly due to the labor required. I have had to replace bulbs once every 12-18 months due to this problem. Most recent failures are detailed below, once agin both turn signals have failed.

No warning lights have appeared; after an oil change, the technician said there is some oil seepage; at start up, the vehicle smells like gas and clicks and start up. The fumes are overwhelming at times. Off and on driving the vehicle clicks 2-4 times then stops. No warning lights are illuminating. The ECT had a failure at 67676 mileage the vehicle smelled like gas and would not accelerate, The Throttle body was replaced. No recall notice for this failure is listed for this vehicle.

Driving normal then suddenly power loss, jeep went into acceleration then loss of power, the ETC , traction control, and check engine lights came on, got a uo4o1 code, I was on the interstate with my son in the car. We were lucky to exit before horrible consequences. The electronic throttle control was bad.

Driving normal when i lost control of the throttle jeep went into limp mode, the ETC , traction control, and check engine lights came on, got a uo4o1 code, if i was on the interstate could have been bad when it went into limp mode, the electronic throttle control was bad

Lightning bolt symbol, check engine light and traction control lights came on and vehicle went into limp mode while taking my 3 yr old to pre school. Scans say vacuum leak/throttle body. This is a recurrent problem with these cars and has had recalls on certain ones. Almost didnt make it where i was going. . . Needs to be addresses on this model too. My car only has 76,721 miles.

while driving multiple warning lights on the dashboard come on. at times the vehicle will stall and I have to wait 10-15 minutes before it will restart. at times the anti-theft system will wngage causing all interior components and dash lights to go out, i then have to pull over , disconnect the battery and pull the ignition fuse to reset the anti-theft system, after waiting approximately 15 minutes the vehicle will start and operate normally. while driving at times the vehicle will suddenly jerk very hard feeling like I hit a large speed bump, the warning lights on the dash will all come on briefly and the vehicle will resume driving normally. at times the vehicle stalls while idling. while driving with the accelerator pressed the fog lights will flash and the inerior fan will blow at a decreased speed, once the accelerator is released the fog lights glow...

The Electronic Throttle Body has failed 3 times in 3 years. Each time it caused issued with the traction control, stability control, and precrash systems and others that require torque management, causing us to pull and making it unsafe to drive. . 2014 Jeep Patriot bought: 1/10/2015 | Electronic Throttle Body Assembly (Chrysler) first replaced/purchased: $385 1/19/2021 | Warranty replacement: August 2021 | purchased replacement (Techsmart/Standard Motor Products): $494.88 4/14/2022

Vehicle occasionally makes a clicking sound in the dash by steering column. Only lasts few seconds. Happens when you either use key fob to unlock door (not even in vehicle yet) or when you start vehicle. Vehicle is usually not running when this happens. Also, several times my headlights came on for no reason the past few weeks draining the battery. Keys were hanging up in house when it happened!

The "gate" light will come on and off and so will the all the lights in the vehicle and it will do it off and on. I am not paying to fix it. I never had a problem with it before and I've had this Jeep for almost a year. I was in a hit and run in August and my Jeep didn't do this until I got it back about a week afterwards.

DRIVER STOOD OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE WITH IT RUNNING AND IN PARKED POSITION. A CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT GRABBED THE GEAR SHIFTER AND WAS ABLE TO SHIFT VEHICLE INTO THE DRIVE POSITION CAUSING A MINOR COLLISION.

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

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.

ENGINE STALLED, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CAR RANDOMLY ACCELERATED AND DECELERATED SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS POSTS ABOUT THE ISSUES ON 2014 JEEP PATRIOT

THE DASHBOARD STARTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE STEERING COLUMN CAUGHT FIRE AND MELTED THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD.I PARKED MY CAR AROUND 9PM AND WENT BACK OUT AROUND 11:30PM TO GET SOMETHING OUT AND FOUND MY DASHBOARD COMPLETELY MELTED. I WAS TOLD BY THE FIRE COMPANY THAT BECAUSE THE WINDOWS WERE ALL CLOSED TIGHTLY THE FIRE SMOTHERED ITSELF. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE BODY SHOP AND THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. MY CAR WAS TOTALED.

IN OVER 120 000 MILES ON THE TIERS I REPLACED IF REMEMBER RIGHT: 6 SETS OF BREAKS SETS, 5 NEW NEW ROTORS, 2 CALIPERS BREAKS ASSEMBLE, FRONT HOUSE BREAKS LINE. DRIVING ON THE STRAIGHT HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ENGAGE THE BREAKS AT RANDOM. SOME TIME MAKING ME SEE SICK. I REMEMBER DRIVING 60 MILES AN HOUR THE BRAKES ENGAGE NEARLY PUSHED ME IN TO ANOTHER CAR. RECENTLY TRAVEL TO MOUTON REGAIN. THE BREAKS SLOWING ME DOWN. FOR NO KNOW CAUSE. I NOTICED DANGER PATER TOO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO EXCEED 20 MPH WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (O'REILLY CHEVROLET 6160 E BROADWAY BLVD, TUCSON, AZ 85711 (520) 829-3876) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO (LARRY H. MILLER DODGE RAM TUCSON 4220 E 22ND ST, TUCSON, AZ 85711 (520) 395-9311) TO BE DIAGNOSED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY CONTROL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATE 80,100. *DT*JB

WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR STREET THE CAR SEEMS THAT WANTS TO STOP AND FEEL THAT IS LOOSING POWER; THAN IT DOES LIKE A JUMPER AND KEEP GOING AND IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE DEALER SEEMS THAT DO NOT FIND ANYTHING. ALSO THE BACK DOOR OF THE CAR KEEP GETTING LOCK AND NOT ABLE TO OPEN

DRIVING AT APPROX. 40 MPH, DASH LIGHTS CAME ON PWOER TRAIN SKID WARNING, 4WD, LIGHTNING ICON POWER DROPPED UNABLE TO GO MORE THAN 20 MPH EXTREMELY UNSAFE

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN HOME WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MY "LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT" CAME ON AND MY "FISH TAIL" LIGHT CAME ON THEN MY ENGINE STALLED IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT ON A BUSY ROAD. BUT I NORMALLY AM DRIVING THE INTERSTATE FOR WORK. (I WORK WITH PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, INCLUDING HAVING THEM IN MY VEHICLE.) THE CODE IS LETTING ME KNOW THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL IS BAD. I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND 2014 JEEP PATRIOTS HAVE THIS RECALL. BUT MY VIN SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT. THEREFORE I'M NOT SURE IF A DEALERSHIP WILL COVER IT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DEVASTATING ACCIDENT IF WE HAD BEEN ON A BUSY ROAD.

THE HORN STOPPED WORKING ON THIS CAR ABOUT FIVE MONTHS AGO. I LOOKED FOR A FUSE OR RELAY AND DISCOVERED ON THE WEB THAT THIS WAS A COMMON CHRYSLER PROBLEM ACROSS ALL PRODUCTS. I REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING WHICH APPEARED TO BE IDENTIFIED AS MOST PROBABLE PROBLEM ON THE WEB; NOT SO. TWO MONTHS AGO I WENT TO THE DEALER AND SAID FOR $150 THEY WOULD IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE HORN ITSELF WORKED, WHICH I TESTED. I TOOK THE STEERING WHEEL APART ONCE AGAIN AND TRACED THE TWO OPERATIONAL HORN WIRES BACK TO THE THE STEERING WHEEL MOUNTED CRUISE CONTROL MODULE. FOR GRINS I WENT TO THE LOCAL SERVICE YARD AND OBTAINED SAID MODULE. REPLACED THE MODULE AND NOW THE HORN WORKS. FIRST, WHY WOULD THE HORN CIRCUIT BE SO CONVOLUTED SINCE A RELAY AND FUSE WAS THE NORM SINCE THE 1940'S. SECOND, FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, THE COMMON ITEMS NEEDED...

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT BEGAN TO GO OFF. RPMS WERE RUNNING HIGHER THAN NORMAL. AFTER THE SENSOR TRIGGERED TWICE, NO PROBLEMS OTHER THAN RMPS RUNNING HIGH. 5 DAYS AFTER THE INITIAL WARNING LIGHT, UPON STOPPING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND RESUMING ACCELERATION, CHECK ENGINE CAME ON, THEN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, THEN TRACTION CONTROL. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE CAR HAD TO DECELERATE OR STOP AND THE RPMS DROPPED BELOW 1. AT ONE POINT, IT STALLED. I HAD TO PULL OVER, STOP THE CAR AND RESTART IT. IF YOU WERE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH CONTINUOUS GAS THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSTIC REPAIR IS THE THROTTLE BODY HOUSING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THE FUEL SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ECM SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANSONE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (100, 90 US-1, AVENEL, NJ 07001, (732) 815-2424) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,299. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

WOW, JUST WOW!! ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. MINE IS AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP GETTING A NEW THROTTLE BODY KIT. (600$$)....I AM NOT SURE IF I EVER WANT TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. LOST POWER AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON IN S CURVES ON A RURAL ROAD...HAD TO CREEP AT 10 MILES AND HOUR HOPING TO GET OFF THE ROAD. NO RECALLS ARE CRAZY CONSIDERING ALL THE COMPLAINTS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH AIR CONDITION RUNNING. I HEAR AN ELECTRICAL SOUND THAT REMINDS ME OF A REMOTE CONTROL CAR. MY JEEP THEN PROCEEDS TO OVERHEAT AND STALLS WHILE I'M DRIVING . I HAVE TO SIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 15-20 MINUTES THEN TRY TO DRIVE AGAIN . THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES MOST RECENTLY MEMORIAL WEEKEND 2019. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG

I WENT TO START MY CAR AND THERE WAS NO POWER EVEN WITH A JUMP. AFTER REPLACING THE STARTER, BATTERY, RELAYS, EGINITION SWITCH, THERMOSTATS, ALTER ALTERNATOR AND THROTTLE BODY THE ISSUE CONTINUED. ON THE HWY THE TEMP LIGHT COMES ON AND HAS ISSUES ACCELERATING AND WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT CLICK SEEMS LIKE IT'S NOT GOING TO START AND FINALLY DOES. THE BATTERY LIGHT STAYS ON. AND JUST OVER ALL JERKY AND LIGHTS DIM.

MY CAR ISN'T EVEN 5 YEARS OLD AND THE LIGHTENING BOLT COMES ON AND MY CAR SLOWS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. IT TAKES AT LEAST TWO TRIES TO TURN THE CAR ON BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STARTS AND NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE LIGHTENING BOLT COMES ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WILL JERK AND WON'T GO MORE THAN 35 AND WON'T RESPOND TO ACCELERATING. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE AND SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING WITH A CAR LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD.

I TOOK THE CAR TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE AND IT SAID THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL AND MY CAR LOSES POWER WITHOUT NOTICE.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND OFF. LIMP MODE TURNING ON. CAR GOING FROM 45 MPH TO 15 MPH

I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE. THE THROTTLE LIGHTNING BOLT FLASHES, CAR WONT SHIFT OR DO MORE THAN 35. IT WONT RESPOND TO ACCELERATING. IT JERKS ALL OVER THE PLACE WHEN AT A LOW SPEED. I WENT OFF OF THE ROAD IN THE SNOW BUT WAS OK. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT KICKED INTO A LOWER GEAR, JERKED AND THE CAR SLID. YOU ARE GOING TO GET PEOPLE KILLED IGNORING THIS AND NOW HERE IS WRITTEN PROOF THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. DO HEAR THAT, CHRYSLER? BECAUSE YOURE ABOUT TO.

I'VE HAD 3 FUEL PUMPS REPLACED AND COUNTLESS TIMES MY CAR HASN'T STARTED JUST BECAUSE LIKE NOW, WHICH BROUGHT ME HERE. THIS NEEDS A RECALL IMMEDIATELY BUT EVERY TIME I LOOK THERE ISN'T ONE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2014 AND IT STILL ONLY HAS 45,539 MILES ON IT. A WEEK AGO I STARTED MY CAR & THEN IT TURNED OFF. LUCKILY I WAS AT I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY SO WITH ALL OF THIS WE NEED A RECALL.
