Not a peep from my jeep! No dummy lights were on, no noises, no warning. But, suddenly, one day, it was unable to climb the hilly road. Just stopped, right there, in front of a farm, where a lonely adolescent cow greeted me. Transmission is currently being replaced. Thank God the 2011 has a 100,000 miles trans warranty. I no longer trust my jeep.

I traded my 2006 Jeep Commander for the 2011 Jeep Patriot. The reason I was trading was a combo of dismal MPG and a longer commute. I saw the advertised MPG for the Patriot and thought I would give it a shot. Just as long as it had 4x4 I was willing to make the power sacrifice for the MPG. We took it for a test drive and I was pleasantly surpised. It did well merging but as other reviewers have stated the CVT is odd slow response to throttle input. This however can be negated if you have the autostick feature, although I am sure that it costs some MPG. That being said I am getting between 22-24 MPG combined city-highway. Overall if you dont expect to have V8 performance you will enjoy it.

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!

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.

Nice little SUV

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!
