Today I am looking at the 2014 Patriot tube Patriot which belongs to my mother-in-law is having some issues. The engine lights on and when we drive it looks like an electricity bolt. These are the symptoms that bolt coming on. I am giving a gas that is not really moving much. It is just barely moving. So it is definitely a loss of power. The shifts aren't very smooth. Those seem to be the symptoms. I am making a video in case somebody has the same thing that if it is something similar than a dealership runs a diagnostic on it then we can see what is going on. If I flow right now the car is not going anywhere. I am flooring the car right now. It is not doing anything. It is going but it is definitely not. I think power is probably a quarter of the normal power. So when I flow the car it doesn't go like it is supposed to. So it is just kind of like in the limp mode. I am going to make this quick video. When I get the car back I will let you all know what was wrong with it. Now I haven't hooked it up to an OBD2 scanner. It is not my car. It is still under factory warranty. This is a 2014. So we are just going to go and get the work done under the factory warranty. I am driving down the road right now. As you can see I am at full throttle. This is as far as fast as this car will go. Which is about 20mph. It doesn't seem to go any faster than that. Even with a throttle fully engaged. I am at wide open throttle right now. That is all I am getting. It is 20mph now. So obviously it is kind of running on a limp mode. Now this car was bought brand new from the dealership of my mother-in-law. My father-in-law bought the same car in a different color. His car hasn't had any issues at all. But this car is the second or third time car. This is not a bad gas or a bad gas. I am not sure if it is a grimland or an electrical grimland. But the last time we took it in they told us that they had to update the ECU. They just gave it back to us. It has been probably over a year since it has done this. So I am not sure why it is doing it again. But obviously it is not safe at all. We are going to drop it off the dealership. Hopefully they will let me know what is going on. And I can send that information out to you guys so that you can... If you have the same issue come up then it might be something similar to whatever is going on with this car. One eternity later. I am following up on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. Actually a Jeep Patriot that I took into the dealership. Apparently what they came back with is that it has a bad throttle body. Now the car was taken to the same dealership twice since three times. This is the third time since the car was new. And they didn't find anything wrong with it the first two times. But conveniently now that the car is out of warranty other than powertrain which throttle body does not cover it under the powertrain and warranty. Now they are telling me that they know what is wrong with it and it is throttle body. So the dealer has quoted me now 800 and something. $897. So the dealer was $900 to replace the throttle body. So I just went ahead and I just ordered a new one for a hundred bucks off of Amazon. And I am going to wait for that. But I am just doing a follow up video after taking the car in to the dealership for that. And I guess I am going to show you what they came up with. I am also going to go ahead and scan the car so that I know what codes are on there. So I can do a little more research before I tackle the problem. So I just put the car in my garage for now. Alright so this is what they came up with. Lots of power. Throttle light on. Code throttle body shorted. 897 to replace. And hell yeah I declined. 900 bucks to replace. Something that is just a couple bolts. I know in this car it is a little bit tough to get to because it is underneath the air box. And this is in that but still no $900. So I am going to tackle that myself. Now all they did was plug in an OBD2 scanner. Now they are charging the Chrysler shop supplies. $18.49. What supplies? Well there are some crazy mint gloves to do this. I have no clue. I am miscellaneous. I mean that is the 1849. Now this is the other thing. There is document retention charge. $1.99. Environmental fee. $4.00. $4.00 for what? What could possibly, you know, it is HZM has met. What kind of has met environmental? What is this cover? I mean they plugged in a computer, you know, a scanner into the OBD2 port. That was it. And they are charging me $1875. $175 just to tell me that the throttle body is bad just from a scan of the OBD2 port. So the reason I took it in, I usually just scan it myself. It is not my car. But it is something that we thought it would be under warranty since it was engine related. But it is not. So we are out $175 for them to tell us to read the codes off of the computer. So just let you know that dealership. You know, I definitely do not recommend it. I am not going to name it. You can guess, you know, we are in Silver Spring here in Maryland. So I definitely wouldn't recommend that dealership. Check out my next video where I will go ahead and replace that throttle body. Please subscribe and like to keep updated with any other videos. I will be putting out. Thanks.
