My Jeep is a year and a half old and I wish I never bought. I thought I was buying a well made American vehicle but I was wrong. I am now getting my tie rods replaced my front interior light leaks water my driver side window was stuck down and my antifreeze hose was leaking. I am very dissatisfied with my purchase. I will be contacting corporate.
BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!

I bought this car new. It has been very gently driven, never off road, never in an accident and well maintained. I was very happy with it until it recently began making creaking noises. The dealer has informed me my 4 1/2 year old car with 72,000 miles needs struts, mounts, sway bar links, lower control arms, ball joints, rear toe links, and a front end alignment. Their estimate is $2090!!! The suspension should have lasted longer than this. I am heartbroken. This will be the last American made vehicle I own.

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.

My 2.4 L 5-speed manual 4x4 Jeep Patriot is the most fun that I have had with any vehicle. Mine has 25,000 miles on it now, and they have been very fun miles. I had it up to its floorboards in both mud and sand, and it pulled itself out every time. I haul a 16.5 foot Lowe bass boat with it, and the four wheel drive does such a nice job on boat ramps. It is funny to see larger vehicles having trouble pulling up the ramps when my little jeep does it right now! This is a best buy vehicle, you cannot get a 4x4 with the capabilty of the Patriot unless you pay many thousands of dollars more. The Patriot is easy on the environment with its impressive gasoline mileage, I get 25 to 30 mpg.

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.
