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.

Lattitude w/attitude. Have 22,000 on the odometer. Biggest gripes are small. Interior: Bigger door pockets as in my '02 Liberty would be great Exterior: A swing gate hatch instead of the overhead one. Again, as in the Liberty. I miss having a separate rear widow that opens. Hood has prop rather than struts to hold it up. Guess these result in lower cost. Many, more pluses...Great pep in the four cyl and the constant variable trans is great but noticeable in sound. Very happpy w/the MPG of approx 27 in mixed driving. My '02 Liberty six only 17!. This Jeep moves when I ask it! Passing power with ease. Four speaker sound is fine for the non-audiophile.

So far we've needed to replace the cvt transmission at 98,000 miles. It cost 5,000$. Lower control arms twice wheel bearings the driver side twice now a wheel sensor is out and the 4wd, abs and tc lights are on. When it rains the inside map light and dome lights fill with water and drain onto the dash. Never buying another Chrysler vehicle again.

Bought this brand new to replace my TL that died. Just had a kid so I decided to get an SUV, but on a limited budget since a new car wasn't planned. Not the smoothest ride (it is a jeep) & not a lot of power. Going uphill is a lot of work & the gas mileage is horrible (15mpg) I'm guessing because of design. Not aerodynamic at all. Cabin is very small. My sedan had more interior room. With a car seat in the back its a tight fit for other passengers when they can actually fit. Cargo area is small so transporting large items is out. Even with seats folded. Tried to move a playhouse & it wouldn't fit through rear opening. Loaded same playhouse into my brother in law's CR-V with ease

Just bought my 2011 Jeep Patriot and it exceeds my expectations. The MSRP was $23,600 but comes very well equipped with heated seats and remote start! I thought the CVT would be an issue but paired with my optional AutoStick you can get by the slightly sluggish automatic shifting. In fact the AutoShift is the BEST manul/auto shifting system I've ever used. The shifting is instantaneous and satisfying! Styling is very nice from the outside and functional, clean and well designed inside. Part time 4x4 system is insurance in snowy weather. Highly recommeded!
