Have owned since purchase in 2012. Followed all guidelines according to manual and transmission failed 7.5 years later. Will cost more (3500 +)to fix than vehicle is even worth which is ridiculous . Will stay away from All Jeep purchases in the future And continue to inform friends why I have a vehicle that sits stagnant and will be sending to scrap yard

2011 Jeep Patriot Latitude X 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

I love this vehicle! I was driving a 98 Sable for several years, so nearly anything would be an upgrade. However, I was planning on the Nissan Rogue, once I drove the Patriot, I was sold! It was much roomier for the same price and with 4x4 instead of AWD. I average about 24 mpg, however on the interstate if is not windy, have gotten 29 mpg. I have only been driving it for 6 weeks, but so far I am impressed!

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.
Worst vehicle purchase in 40 yrs

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!

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!
