Description of the problem | While driving to work the car attempted to stall and the etc light came on. The car seemed to go neutral, then gag, then regained it's composure. I immediately pulled off. Car was in cold weather but never had this issue before, in mn. Temps the manual said it was the etc electric throttle control, but didn't indicate it was a major concern, unless light stayed on . What would be a major concern other than getting rear ended by a pile of cars? I've never had this with any car, it was totally a new light i've never seen. I made it to work afterwards. On the way back home, the etc light came on again -- flashing, then off -- car stayed rolling. Perhaps it is more inclined to stall going uphill with the etc, and while it's rolling downhill, less inclined to stall? Who knows, but i don't think this is just a couple patriots out there, because there's already more than 500 people who've complained of this issue. I contacted dealer - but they did not admit to any recalls for my patriot - even when i stated others have had this exact issue. I am very reluctant to take my jeep anywhere but a few blocks in this winter weather. This was truly the first time i felt unsafe in it. Mileage is 89,000. However, should an accident occur i will certainly sue the company. |
