I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, AND A CONDITION OF LOW IDLE STALLING HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER MY 8 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT MECHANICAL CONDITION, AND ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND DOCUMENTED. IN WET OR DAMP CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE REGULARLY STALLS, OR THE IDLE DROPS BELOW A NORMAL OPERATING RANGE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHUDDER. MORE RECENTLY, IN WET OR DAMP CONDITIONS, WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO MOVE BEFORE EXPERIENCING NEAR TOTAL LOSS OF POWER MOMENTARILY BEFORE RPMS SURGE AND ACCELERATION CONTINUES. THIS IS HAZARDOUS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CROSS INTERSECTIONS, AS THE STALLING AND LIMP ACCELERATION ARE RANDOM AND CANNOT BE PREDICTED. EARLY ON I HAD BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP'S ATTENTION DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD BUT THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE ALSO COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AS IT ONLY OCCURS IN WET OR DAMP CONDITIONS. THERE ARE MANY DOCUMENTED INSTANCES OF IDENTICAL OR SIMILAR ISSUES WITH ALL MODEL YEARS OF JEEP PATRIOTS, THOUGH NO REMEDY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED.

CRUISE CONTROL WON'T TURN ON, WHEN IT DOES AND IS SET IT MAY TURN OFF BY ITSELF CAUSING RAPID DECELERATION AR HIGH SPEEDS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR 2-3 TIMES (ONCE OVER NIGHT) AND IT WAS NEVER FIXED. *TR

THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR'S SPEED DROPPED TO ZERO CAUSING ME TO QUICKLY PULL OFF THE ROAD, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE/THROTTLE BODY HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS PART IS CURRENTLY ON NATIONAL BACKORDER SINCE THERE ARE OVER 700 OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION SINCE YOUR CAR JUST DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND YOU COULD EASILY BE IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO HUNDREDS OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS, IT SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR A PART MALFUNCTION. *TR

ON ANY HOT DAY IN THE SUMMER OR SPRING OR WINTER, OR A DRIVE OVER 2 HOURS THE ENGINE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON AND THE SPEED REDUCES TO 40 OR 35 MPH IMMEDIATELY FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THERE IS NO PLACE TO STOP I AM CAUSING CONTINUOUS DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE, AND EVERY 10 TO 20 MILES IT HAPPENS, UNLESS I DRIVE 50 MPH. IT DANGEROUS, AND I WOULD LIKE A RECALL SO THAT I CAN SAFELY DRIVE MY CAR. *TR
