2010 Jeep Patriot Driver assistance Problems

I was on the freeway going about 75mph when all of a sudden it lost acceleration I couldn't get it to go more to 35 or 40 mph in and gear. Pulled to the side and let it sit for like 15 mins and it started up normal drove fine for a little bit. Then I went the back way home and didn't go over 50mph and it was fine got home and parked. Next morning went to leave and like 5 miles down the road only doing like 40 mind you. It completely goes out no acceleration just revs. Towed it home now it still starts and goes into gear but won't move just acts like its still in park.

SINCE I BOUGHT MY KEEP IN JULY 2020 .. EVERYTIME I'VE FILLED MY GAS TANK ALL THE WAY .. AT FIRST MY JEEP WOULD DO A LITTLE JUMPING ON REGULAR STREE AS I DRIVE TOWARDS FREEWAY BUT AFTER A LITTLE BIT IT WOULD GO AWAY .. BUT AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 15 MIN ON FREEWAY MY JEEP BEGINS TO MAKE THIS WHINING SOUND AND THEN MY JEEP WOULD ACCELERATE ABOVE 5 ON ITS OWN (SCARY) THEN WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL THIS USUALLY WAS WHILE GOING UP A HILL ON FREEWAY .. WHINING CONT. AND ACCELERATING MAY HAPPEN ONCE MORE WHILE GOING UP THE HILL .. THEN MY TRANSMISSION TEMP LIGHT WILL COME ON . I USUALLY PULL OVER TO LET MY CAR REST BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT AFTER IT HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED AFTER I FILL MY TANK TO THE FULL .PLEASE FIX THIS I'M AFRAID IT WILL BLOW MY ENGINE WHILE ON FREEWAY ! THREE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED AFTER A FULL TANK HAS BEEN APPLIED . SO STEP BY STEP I FILL TANK TO FULL AS I DRIVE ON STREET TOWARDS FREEWAY IT WILL JUMP A LITTLE BUT WILL GO AWAY BY TIME I GET ON FREEWAY ONCE ON FREEWAY CAR SEEMS FINE FOR ABOUT 10 -15 MIN THEN I START TO HEAR A WHINING SOUND ALMOST AS IF IT'S STUCK IN A GEAR .. AS I'M DRIVING UP A HILL ON FREEWAY THE WHINING GETS WORSE AND MY RPMS DON'T SEEM TO GO ABOVE 50 THEN MY MY ENGINE WILL JUST ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN ALL THE WAY PASSED 5 .. THEN RETURN TO NORMAL QUICKLY AFTER .. WHINING NOISE CONT. AS I'M STILL DRIVING ABOUT 10 MIN LATER MY TRANSMISSION TEMP LIGHT WILL COME ON . THAT'S WHEN I GET OFF FREEWAY AND PULL OVER TO LET MY CAR REST FOR A LITTLE BIT .. ONCE I GET BACK ON FREEWAY AFTER 10 MIN REST EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL NO MOR WHINING AND TEMP LIGHT IS GONE .. THIS IS AN ISSUE AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK TO THE FULL!

WHILE DRIVING, LOSS OF POWER. WAS DRIVING 60 MPH, LOST POWER AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, BUT RPMS WOULD HIT 6K. HAD TO CHANGE ALTENATOR. WITH BRAND NEW ALTENATOR I GOT 90 MILES . THEN CAR WOULD ONLY HIT 20 MPH , AND RPMS WOULD HIT 6K WITH NO ACCELERATION. PULL OVER AND SIT 5 MINUTES THEN CAR WOULD ACCELERATE NORMAL. BUT THE PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERYTIME I START CAR AND GO TO DRIVE. HAVE READ THAT THE HAS BEEN AN ECU AND OTHER ISSUES AND RECALLS FOR IT WITH MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING. I WAS ON HIGHWAY. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE RADIO AS IT WITH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND NO KEY IN IGNITION, THE STEREO MAKES NOISE LIKE IT'S TRYING TO WORK. FEEL VERYVUNSAGE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AS THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 90K MILES .

GAS TANK CANNOT BE FILLED UP ALL THE WAY AS THE CAR STALLS AND TURNS OFF IN LESS THEN A MILE. THE CAR HAS NO ACCELERATION MORE THEN 20MHP AND TAKES A LONG TIME IN GAINING SPEED WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF AFTER A STOP AND WHEN CHANGING LANES. CAR LACKS POWER WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS, CREATING TRAFFIC AND PANIC IN THE DRIVER. CAR IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD AND MECHANICS ARE AWARE BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO FIND THE ISSUE AND CORRECT.

MY 2010 JEEP PATRIOT WAS PURCHASED AT JEEP, DODGE, CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN JAX FL OFF BLANDING BLVD. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE SINCE MAY 2018 AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT IN ALMOST 3 MONTHS DUE TO TRANSMISSION THAT IS TO COSTLY TO FIX. IT BROKE DOWN IN AUGUST 2018, GOT IT FIXED IN OCTOBER 31ST 2018 AND IT BROKE DOWN ON ME AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 3RD 2018. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE ALL THE REPORTS I READ ON THEM ARE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT'S IN THEM. I GOT ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AND IT'S DOING THE SAME THING.

ON RANDOM OCCASION WHILE DRIVING, MY 2010 JEEP PATRIOT HESITATES AND LURCHES WHEN I ACCELERATE. IT HAS ALSO STALLED WHILE I WAIT AT A RED LIGHT. IT HAS ALSO STALLED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP WHILE I AND WHILE MY DAUGHTER HAS DRIVEN THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS DIAGNOSE AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING ON THE DIAGNOSTICS REPORT. THIS IS UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN MANY SUCH COMPLAINTS COVERING MANY JEEP MODELS, YEARS AND MAKES AND I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL OR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE...ARE YOU WAITING FOR MORE PEOPLE TO BE KILLED IN THEIR CARS????? *TR

THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE GOING 60MPH. IT JERKED SEVERAL TIMES AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE TO 20MPH. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WENT ON. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC HE CONFIRMED THE CAR NEEDED THE THROTTLE BODY. THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER DUE TO A REDESIGN (RED FLAG THERE). IT TOOK THREE WEEKS FOR THE PART TO COME IN. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE PART AND MY PATRIOT IS STILL GOING INTO LIMP MODE. THE COMPUTER THREW OUT MANY CODES. MY MECHANIC AFTER WORKING ON THE CODES FOR TWO WEEKS SAID THAT HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED I HAVE MY PATRIOT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I GET A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY PATRIOT IS THROWING 3 PAGES OF CODES. I LEARNED MY PATRIOT IS NOT THE ONLY JEEP/CHRYSLER VEHICLE HAVING THESE ISSUES. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE, TO HAVE A CAR GO INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING 60MPH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

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

JEEP SEEMS TO GET REVVED UP AND GETS STUCK THERE, AND I CAN'T SEEM TO STOP IT SHORT OFF SHUTTING IT DOWN. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 10/8/12 AS I WAS GETTING ON FREEWAY. I WAS NOT GOING MORE THAN 30 MILES AN HOUR WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT REVVED UP TO ABOUT 5. HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK FOOT OFF GAS IT DID NOT GO DOWN, EVEN AFTER TAPPING BRAKE. ALSO, EVEN AFTER GIVING GAS AGAIN, COULD BARELY GET IT TO MOVE SO I COULD GET TO SIDE OF ROAD,(THANK GOODNESS NOBODY WAS BEHIND ME) AS I COASTED OVER AND SHUT IT DOWN RIGHT THERE, AFTER RESTARTING IT WAS FINE. MY MOM AND SISTER WERE WITH ME AND CAN VERIFY WHAT HAPPENED. THIS HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE, BUT NEVER WHEN ENTERING FREEWAY! THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 2010 AND I CALLED DEALER RIGHT AFTER INCIDENT,(ACTUALLY SHUT JEEP OFF AND CALLED RIGHT AWAY), DON'T THINK THEY BELIEVED ME. JEEP ALSO FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL (MORE OFTEN THIS YEAR), ESPECIALLY AT LIGHTS, HAVE TO GIVE IT GAS WHILE WAITING. I MENTIONED THIS ALSO AT LAST OIL CHANGE AT DEALER, NOBODY SEEMS TO THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM. AFTER HEARING ABOUT INCIDENTS WITH 2011 AND 2012 MODELS I THOUGHT I SHOULD DOCUMENT MINE AS MAY BE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
