2014 Jeep Patriot Powertrain & Transmission Problems

When I pull up somewhere and apply brakes it will start jerking and act like it wants to go but if I put the Jeep in park or neutral it stops. It's like the whole jeep will lunge forward when I am sitting there with my foot on the brake and it just feels like it's going to take off or die. it can't make up its mind.

Engine jerking really had while vehicle is in drive and idle hard while sitting still

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 CVT TRANSMISSION WILL MAKE A LOUD WHINE AND NOT GO OVER 40 MPH . USUAL HAPPENS AFTER ABOUT 30 MIN OF DRIVING AND WILL NOT SHOW ANY CODES. THIS HAPPENS DURING ACCELERATION AND YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT BEFORE IT WILL RESUME SOMEWHAT NORMAL OPERATION .

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

I WAS DRIVING APPROX 45 MPH WHEN I HEARD A POPPING NOISE FOLLOWED BY GRINDING NOISE WHILE IN 5TH GEAR. TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT LOOKED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION. I THEN TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO VERIFIED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT. IT WAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP MY CAR, I ASKED TO TAKE PICTURES SO THAT I COULD TALK TO JEEP ABOUT HAVING A TRANSMISSION FAIL AT 103K MILES. WHILE TAKING PICTURES AND LOOKING AT THE DAMAGED TRANSMISSION, THE MECHANIC SAID " WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT YEAR IS YOUR JEEP?" I TOLD HIM IT WAS A 2014. HE SAID, "LOOK AT THIS STICKER. IT MEANS THAT THIS TRANSMISSION WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2016. SO, YOU ARE ACTUALLY ON YOUR 3RD TRANSMISSION." I WAS ABLE TO TRACK THE TRANSMISSION BY THE PART NUMBER AND FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS INSTALLED IN JULY 2016. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 51,477 MILES. THE ONE THAT JUST CAME OUT FAILED AT 52, 075 MILES.

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

TAKATA RECALL: AS YOU DRIVE THIS VEHICLE THE ENGINE WILL SLIGHTLY STALL OUT AND HICCUP. ALSO CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO JITTER SLIGHTLY BUT NOTICEABLY SO. IT DOES IT WHETHER ITS HOT, COLD REGARDLESS. I FEEL AS IF THIS VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE ENGINE RECALL BECAUSE IT DOES STALL AND STUTTER WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT SPORT 2.0L 4CYL WUTH A CVT TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT IT USED CERTIFIED IN FEB 2018. ABOUT A MONTH INTO OWNING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO BUCK AND JERK. THE CAR SHAKES WHILE ON IDLE AND THERE IS A LOUD HELICOPTER SOUND COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE CAR. I TOOK TO TO 3 DIFFERENT JEEP DEALER AND NOBODY COULD TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER THAT THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS HAPPENED AS I TURNED ON MY STREET TO GO HOME. I HAD TO WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND IT TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FIRING ANY CODES NOR WAS THERE ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPEND ON AUGUST 18, 2019 DRVING HOME FROM A CAMPING TRIP. I HAD 2 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WITH ME.THE CAR BUCKS AND JERKS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLS WHILE IM DRVING THE SPEED LIMIT AT 60 MPH. THANKFULLY I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT. AFTER BEING ALL SHAKEN UP, AGAIN I HAD WAITIED A FEW MINUTES AND CAR STARTED AND DROVE AS IF NOTING HAPPEND. IT WAS ONE OF THE SCARIEST THINGS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO LOCAL MECHANICS AND THEY DINT KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH IT. SO I AM CURRENTLY DRVING MY CAR AND WONDERING WHEN THE CAR WILL STALL AGAIN. IT STILL BUCKS AND JERKS, FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL SO I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDDLE AND THAT SEEMS TO HELP. I NO LONGER DRIVE THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AS I AM SCARED TO DEATH OF GETTING INTO A CAR ACCIDENT. I STRICTLY USE THIS CAR TO TRAVEL TO AND FROM WORK. I AM TIRED OF SENDING THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIPS AND MECHANICS WITH NO RESOLUTIONS. I WANT TO TRADE THIS CAR IN, BUT AM AFRAID FOR THE NEXT PERSON. I THINK THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD PERIOD!!

I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY THROTTLE BODY UNIT ON THIS CAR AT 75,000 MILES. THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. 3 LIGHTS CAME ON: THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, MALFUNCTION INDICATOR (CHECK ENGINE), AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. MY CAR COULD NOT SURPASS 30 MPH WHICH WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR WAS JERKY AND WOULD JERK FORWARD EVEN WHEN BRAKING. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING/KNOWN ISSUE. I BELIEVE A RECALL OF THIS SPECIFIC PART IS NEEDED.

WHILE RUNNING (CITY OR HIGHWAY) VEHICLE STALLS WHEN POWER REQUEST BY ACCELERATION. SEEMS LIKE A ROUGH NOISE WHEN AUTOMATIC SHIFT CHANGE, LOSING THE POWER.

2014 JEEP PATRIOT IS STALLING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY UPHILL. IT IS ALSO STALLING AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATING AGAIN. WHILE GOING UPHILL RECENTLY THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED TO CLIMB UPHILL. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE HAS NOT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT YET. THIS MOSTLY HAPPENS ON CITY STREET HOWEVER WHEN GETTING ONTO THE ON RAMP IT SPUTTERS TO ACCELERATE SOMETIMES AND ALSO IF TRAFFIC COMES TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY AND I TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. I HAVE COMPLETED REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR SO THIS HAS COME OUT OF NOWHERE. I SEE PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE WHICH COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL BUT I'M NOT SURE IF MY VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THIS RECALL.

EVERY SUMMER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR THE CVT TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVE 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. SEVERAL TIMES MY VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER AND IM FORCED TO THE ROADSIDE TO WAIT UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. IT HAPPENED TO ME IN CHICAGO ONCE WHERE THERE IS NO SHOULDER TO THE THRUWAY AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE KILLED. IVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD NO RESOLVE. THE CAR HAS CURRENTLY BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND IVE ALSO BEEN DEALING WITH JEEP CUSTOMER CAR AND ALL THEY KEEP TELLING ME IS THAT THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IM LOST AT THIS POINT. I THINK THIS MAY FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW BUT JEEP WILL NOT WORK ON ANYTHING WITH ME. PLEASE HELP

I HAVE A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT LATITUDE THAT HAS 48100 MILES ON IT . ITS WAS FINE UP UNTIL KNOW WHERE IT WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING AND SHUT DOWN AND THE STABILITY LIGHT WOULD COME ON . I WOULD PULL OVER AND THE CAR WOULD RESTART . IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT AND ITS SCARY NOT TO KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN . SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED . JEEP SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THE CARS AND FIX THE PROBLEM . THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING A CORNER AND ON STREETS AND THEN WENT TO STALL OUT ON A HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. AFTER CONTINUED DRIVING FOR TEN MINUTES THE VEHICLE STARTED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GARY MILLER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM 5746 PEACH ST, ERIE, PA 16509 (814) 868-3635 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A TRANSMISSION FLUSH WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 49,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PATRIOT WILL SHAKE/VIBRATE REALLY BAD WHEN IN DRIVE AND SITTING IDLE (LIKE AT A RED LIGHT WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE). IF I PLACE IT IN PARK, NEUTRAL OR START DRIVING THE HEAVY VIBRATION GOES AWAY.

MY 2014 JEEP PATRIOT JUST EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. IT HAS 91,000 MILES ON IT, BUT HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTENANCED. THE INPUT SHAFT BEARING STARTED MAKING GRINDING AND WHINING NOISES WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS LET OUT WHILE PARKED AND DRIVING. SOON HAD TROUBLES SHIFTING AND MY TRANSMISSION NOT WANTING TO GO INTO GEAR. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR A REMEDY AND NOTICED THOUSAND OF COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS SAME ISSUE INVOLVING MOST JEEP VEHICLES. ONE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 31,000 MILES WHEN THEIR TRANSMISSION FAILED. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE AUTOMOTIVE SHOP. THEY STATED THAT I HAVE 3 OPTIONS WHICH INCLUDE REBUILD MY CURRENT TRANSMISSION (WHICH MAY BE A TOTAL LOSS) , BUY A USED TRAMSMISSION ( NO GUARANTEE OF WHEN ANOTHER FAILURE WILL OCCUR), OR BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION FROM THE DEALERSHIP (NO GUARANTEE OF WHEN FAILURE WILL OCCUR). THE AUTOMOTIVE SHOP STATED THAT THERE IS A PARTS SHORTAGE DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE PARTS TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION AND ALSO LACK OF USED TRANSMISSIONS DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 1 YEAR AGO AND WILL HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS TO FIX IT DUE TO A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE AUTOMOTIVE COMMUNITY WITHOUT ANY GUARANTEE OF WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THE OWNER OF MY LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE SHOP TOLD ME TO SELL IT BECAUSE OF THE KNOWN TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I SAVED MONEY TO BUY THIS JEEP WITH CASH AND DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO CONTINUALLY REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS IN IT. BIG PROBLEM FOR JEEP AND QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCTS. BIGGER PROBLEM FOR THE OWNERS THAT ARE PAYING THOUSANDS TO FIX THEIR VEHICLES. THEIR TRANSMISSIOMS SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO NOT MODEL SPECIFIC. ALL JEEP MODELS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ALREADY.
