Picked up our new base model Patriot at NW Jeep about a month ago. Bought the cherry pearl with black interior. Very nice paint combo. Nicely laid-out interior. We paid $13,100 for the base model with air conditioning.

Replaced all four hubs and front axle shafts within 60,000 miles, deals said these are suspension components not covered under driveline warranty, Two ABS sensors failed-not covered, CVT transmission now making a noise and shifting erratically. Brake caliber seized-ruined brake pad and rotor. Total piece of garbage!

Unexpectedly nice

I bought this vehicle because I have a 2007 Patriot. The 2011 is a completely different vehicle in terms of comfort, quietness, ride performance. I was expecting to be only satisfied with my purchase but I am ecstatic with it. Great job Jeep!

More fun than a barrel of monkeys

For the money, I just don’t think anything can compete with the new 2011 Patriot. I purchased a sport 2WD model with the 2.4l upgrade and power package with a manual 5spd for under $18 grand. Now I understand that I am not going to be off-roading or rock crawling with this vehicle, but as a very nice small hauler and weekend fun machine it fits the bill perfectly. Now I would definitely recommend the manual, because the CVT transmissions really suck the fun out of the vehicle. However the 5spd with the 2.4l is peppy and can easily handle highway merges and quick maneuvers. The vehicle feels competent at speed and never seems to want for power even when overtaking.

stalls on the freeway

I had a 2011 Jeep Patriot that stalled on the freeway numerous times. Each time I took it in they couldn't find the problem. At less than 60 thousand miles I traded it for something I could feel safe in. I also had a Liberty that was recalled for crash hazards that they couldn't fix the recall. I will never buy a Jeep again.
