12/12/19 tried to get on I-295 all lights on dash came on including malfunction indicator, esp bas, and others all came on when no lights were on before. Lost power to Jeep on 295 could not go any fast then 25 mph and then stalled; almost rear ended. Could restart Jeep, all dash lights still on, no power past 25 mph and made it off an off ramp where stalled again. Towed Jeep to mechanic where they replaced PCM, intake manifold, and O2 censor. Called Jeep because there is a recall to PCM and was told my VIN not included. 12/26/2019 on I-295 going 70mph and Jeep lost all power with no warning lights this time and had no acceleration. Was in the far left lane and had near miss of being rear ended by tractor trailer. Veered Jeep to breakdown lane and towed to mechanic. Second mechanic repaired ground at G104 on right side of engine bay said is reason for several computerised controls. 1/7/2020 put full tank of gas in vehicle and pulled into intersection and Jeep bucked and stalled out. Called mechanic said possible fuel sensor problem. Jeep Patriots have had issues with PCM and fuel problems but am told my 2009 Jeep not a part of this recall. Jeep is still not running properly and will not drive on highway. Very dangerous and very expansive.

I was in motion and the trans temp light light up and my car began to stale in the middle of the highway. I was traveling alone and 4 hours away. This was very dangerous. I could have been hit by a passing truck. Luckily, I was in the left lane and was able to park on the shoulder. I had to search my safety manual to understand what was happening. I had to wait over 30 mins for the light to disengage and drive 55 on the highway. I took it to the shop and there was no signs. I did a google search and realized this is a common issue with the Jeep Patriots. I have heard horror stories of families with little kids being stranded. Please provide some sort of resolution to this eventually costly issue.

The contact owns a 2009 Jeep pqtriot. While driving at 65 mph, the transmission control, traction control, esp control, 4X4, wheel speed sensor, ABS, and the brake light remained illuminated. The vehicle started to decelerate. The failure recurred numerous times.
