Description of the problem	My 2014 jeep patriot vehicle started to loose engine power really fast and started to jerk and slow down on it's own barely any power. Two dash trouble lights came on. A engine trouble light and a lighting bolt trouble light both came on. I immediately barely pulled the car into an empty parking lot close by. Had i been on a highway traveling a higher speed area this would have been disastrous ! I was able to shut the car off and restart the car after waiting and luckily there was an auto parts store nearby. Upon checking the dash lights with their computer unit it was determined it was a failed throttle control unit . After it was checked a day later at the local jeep dealer it was determined the throttle unit did fail. Since i only had 20k miles but beyond the 3 year limit warranty they would not cover the expensive repair. I feel this should be a jeep safety recall on this part because the replacement part has been modified from the original. Due to the modification i had to also purchase a new wire harness even though the older one was probably fine but wouldn't fit the newer modified replacement throttle unit. When this throttle unit fails your vehicle gets no gas so it almost shuts down immediately ! In confidence i was told by several dealer maintenance people this isn't a rare problem, but the chryslers jeep co. Refused to absorb any liability or payment toward this replacement repair after i contacted them . This is strange that the replacement part has been modified or updated ..... Why ? The original unit is defective is my guess and should be recalled on all jeep products before a serious accident happens !
