| Description of the problem | 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. |
