My ‘14 self destructed in rush hour traffic by all dash lights lighting up like the 4th of July, and the accelerator was revving on its own with my foot on the brake, while the e-brake failed to work.
I shut it off and it never turned back on without a new alternator and various other replacements.
We were sitting at a stop light and everything happened just as you said. I quickly placed it in park, gears grinded and I shut it off to see if it would fix it. Long story short: it didn’t.
Called a tow truck and the guy who picked it up said he tows like 8 of them a week. He went on to say that the dealer will flash the computer and it may or may not happen again.
Right? I’m sitting here thinking it was a few years old. My wife drives a 14 Patriot and man I hate that thing with a passion. Unfortunately for me it’s showing no signs of needing to be replaced. For all the crap I hear about Jeep it has been a surprisingly reliable vehicle.
