I got my 2009 Patriot with 82,000 on it, and I drive ALOT. I average about 29,000 miles a year. So this car has really stuck with me through all my crazy road trips and long commutes. BUT it has given me a ton of problems along the way. I have had transmission issues, spark plug issues (no matter how many times its serviced and they have been replaced it still misfires), I have had issues with my tire rod, struts, and overall tires in general! I have had to put brand new tires on this car 3 times... in the 3 years I've owned it. I also experienced an issue with my windshield wipers. They would only stay on and continue working if they were on the max speed, which ended up being an electrical issue. Not cheap. Overall it's a good car, spacious for a small SUV and can handle extreme conditions pretty well. I live in Minnesota and I've never had a problem with the snow. I've also experienced 2 accidents in this car, both of which barely damaged my vehicle yet completely wrecked the others. It's a tough jeep, mine just gave me hell.

Have now owned my Patriot for nine months. This vehicle is better than expected. Drives much better than my previous vehicle with was a Forester. The new interior design on the 09 really makes you feel like your driving a luxury crossover. Once you learn how to drive the CVT is becomes very smooth and a joy to drive. I did have the dreaded front dome light leak in April, i brought it in, they replaced a seal and after a record breaking amount of rainfall over the summer I have not had any other problems with it. Once the CVT gets broken in a little, gas mileage improves. I now average about 25.5 on the highway (on long trips) and 22+ city. Pretty good for a 4x4.

My 2009 Partoit has a sunroof and leaks all the time. had it to the dealer 4 times prior to today and they said to stop parking by trees. Very poor customer service and the quality of this factory installed sunroof is unacceptable. Ours is a 2 wheel drive automatic model, but edmunds only thinks this model comes with a manual tranny.

Can't brag enough about what a great purchase this was. The price was terrific. The fuel economy is outstanding. It's a Jeep. I feel safe using it on my long weekly commute in the harsh winter climate of Montana. I use it for work and it is a very professional sharp looking vehicle that doesn't scream obnoxious wealth. I can't believe the nation isn't gobbling these American made fuel efficient good looking vehicles up.
