Description of the problem | I have a 2014 jeep patriot with about 33,474 miles when the problem occurred. I was driving going home in a busy street in los angeles when all of a sudden the malfunction indicator light (mil) and electronic stability control (esc) (see photos) light showed up on the dashboard and i stopped because the traffic light turned red. I had 3 passengers with me and they were trying to google what the dashboard light means. When the light turned green, i started to drive but the engine was stalling, as if it doesn't want to drive, no power. So i parked at the curb, turned off the ignition and waited for a few seconds then turned the ignition on again. The esc disappeared from the dashboard but the mil remained lit up. I was able to drive home and the next day, took the vehicle to my mechanic. My mechanic replaced the throttle body and it's working fine now. I noticed the difference in the performance of the vehicle before and after the throttle was changed. I am reporting this to you because i have heard news and got a letter from a law firm informing me of a number of mechanical defects reported about the vehicle. At this point, i am too late to bring it to a jeep dealer for repair because the vehicle is out of warranty. |
