I purchased a new 2009 Jeep Patriot . The dealership replaced the transmission after 3 years due to overheating and noise. After I reached the 50k mileage mark, I have replaced most of the front suspension i.e. (Upper/lower control arms, etc.) a few times every 15k miles. I have heard from various mechanics that all low priced Jeeps are constantly in the shop with issues. I will NEVER purchase another JEEP or Chrysler product.

I have been buying Toyota's for many years now. This is my first American car. I have test drove a few other SUV before buying this jeep. I tested the Volkswagen Tiguan, Suzuki Grand Vitara, Mitsubishi Outlander and the Suburu Forester. All theses SUV have great 4x4's. The Honda element and CRV have weak 4x4 system and the RAV4 is too narrow inside for my big stature. So it came down to the Outlander and the Jeep. Well it turn out that the Outlander and the Patriot have the same CVT transmission and motor (2.4l)called the "World Motor" design by Chrysler/Mitsubishi and Hyundai. I decided on the Jeep because handle bump's a little better I tough than the Outlander. More quiet inside too.
WORTHLESS PIECE OF GARBAGE

DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!!! WORTHLESS PIECE OF JUNK!!! 0 stars Purchased a brand new 2009 Jeep Patriot Limited in late 2008 at my local Spring, TX Chrysler Jeep dealer. I loved my Patriot and I am now the sucker! 18 months after purchase the CVT tranny went out and was replaced under warranty. That concerned me but I still loved my Patriot! But this is what makes this car worthless-Suddenly and with no warning my key fob wouldn’t open my car. I was able to start it using the key but then the check engine light came on and none of the electrical systems were working properly. I got home and read some blogs and found one where a guy said his wife’s was doing the same thing and he advised popping in and out the white fuse box (the reset). I tried it and it worked so I went straight the dealer to get my car fixed. Had the tech come out and explained it to him and he turned the car off and sure enough had to pop out and in the reset fuse box to start the car. I left the car to get repaired (should have been a piece of cake right? NOT!!) I also had to rent a vehicle to go to work. The next day they called me to ask me to come in to the dealer. I did and when I spoke to my service advisor at Auto Nation Spring, Tx she explained that the part that needs to be replaced is called a gauge cluster. She then explains that Chrysler no longer makes that part and that my best option is to call around to find a company that specializes in clusters or check the junk yard. Oh and if that isn’t bad enough she tells me that even if I can find the part they can’t install it for legal reasons. And they still charged me $90.00 for the diagnostic! So I came home called Chrysler and opened a case and was given a case #. I was told I would get a call back in 24-48 hours which never came of course! Then I called every place that sells and /or installs these parts and no one could find the part anywhere. They searched everywhere and kept in touch with me as they tried to help. I then called Chrysler after 48 hours and got another customer service specialist who told me “well you drove it for 10 years” unbelievable! They call that customer service, I call that the worst customer service ever! So now In September 2019, I have a totally unusable, 2009 Jeep Patriot Limited parked in my garage. It is not able to be driven due to the fact that it won’t pass safely and therefore can’t get current registration. I can’t trade it in and can and will NOT sell it private party. I AM WRITING THIS REVIEW SO NO ONE ELSE END UP BUYING A Jeep Patriot Limited which are on car lots for sell everywhere.
Wear a raincoat.

I originally bought the vehicle because of the interior space. It had more backseat leg room than even the Commander. Like everything about the vehicle except the leaking sunroof. Had it to the dealer 8 times and they have not been able to provide a permanent fix. Dealers been fair but can't get anywhere with Chrysler
Bought as a cheap ride, but it's much better

Traded under Cash for Clunkers and got one of the few Sport models with the 22 package and the Trail Rated Freedom Drive II. That's the upgraded CVT. This vehicle is MUCH better thought out than I expected. I have dragged boulders for landscaping, taken it off road, towed a small cargo trailer, and commuted in all weather conditions. I am in CO, and we have had some ferocious snow. This thing is better in snow in some ways than my LR3. It bombs up and down fire roads and climbs obstacles like a champ. It gets about 24 MPG. No rattles, leaks, thumps or whistles. If you need a cheap small SUV with decent off road ability and MPG, but still is smooth enough to commute in, this is the de
