| Description of the problem | 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!! |
