Do Not Buy A Jeep

Bought 2 2014 Jeep Patriots last year. Within the first 2000 miles the brakes on both Jeeps starting squealing. The pads were replaced and then the drums. The squealing continued. After multiple service trips, Chrysler basically told me they could not do anything about it. The squealing was "normal" So I now have 2 new cars that squeal every time we put them in reverse and apply the brakes. I will tell everyone I know to not buy a Jeep. They do not stand behind their product and know nothing about customer service.

Apparently not what some one buying a Jeep wants. All the pros write negative reviews about the Patriot. They bash the interior, the acceleration, and lack of gimmicky gagetes. So having read what they did not like and what they saw as better, I ran right out and bought one!! This is a true small Jeep!! Acceleration: great for a 4 cylinder that is also geared for light towing and off road. Interior: I think they are really stretching and looking for something to say negative. I have the sport model so it is the base model. I have no complaints at all except the standard Jeep complaint about the straight up and down rear seat. There is an optional seat that will tilt back some. I feel that should be standard on all models. As far as the pros comments. Will they should stick to reviewing automobiles that have been transformed into SUV,s. They have quite plush rides and snazzy interiors and lots of dodads to entertain you as you sit in city traffic. They are all wheel drive that will enhance it's ability in the snow and rain. They are not meant for off road or use beyond that of an automobile.

Ready when I am and has never failed me

I purchased this vehicle without much research. I have been surprised by its reliability in all weather and road conditions. The 4WD has allowed to me to traverse pretty steep snowy rutted dirt roads (I lived in a rural area) without issue. I wouldn't say you could use it for off-roading, but the vehicle got me home during snowy weather. The traction control has come into play a few times. I have been careful to take in for routine maintenance. So far I have had no mechanical or electrical issues at all. The acceleration is the only thing I would improve.

Bad transmission in an otherwise handsome vehicle.

I bought the standard transmission Patriot because I thought they would be less problematic. Big mistake. My tranny started going out at 9000 miles, and at 12,500, it’s undriveable. I bought the extended warranty for $1750, and yet they still refused to fix it. My research online has uncovered many Patriots with the same problem...it’s the #1 complaint. The transmissions are very poorly designed, poorly made and completely unreliable. They want $5000 for a new tranny, but it won’t fix the problem...in less than 10,000 your tranny will break again. It’s easily the worst vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’ve been a loyal Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep customer all my life, but they’ve lost my business forever. I get that sometimes things can go wrong, but the weasels who declined my legitimate warranty are the worst kind of people...dishonest, and more unreliable than their transmissions...like a shyster lawyer looking for some minuscule loophole to legitimize their illegitimate behavior. One man I spoke with had to put two transmissions in his Patriot, and the second one went out in 8000 miles. Now, if I were off-roading or driving like an idiot, I might expect something like this to happen...but I loved my Jeep and tricked it out with thousands of dollars of extras. Now all that money is wasted. A group of mechanics I spoke with stated that the last good Jeep was made in 2004...so save your money and buy something else...like an import from Japan...at least they’re well designed and well built. American made products used to mean something...but these clowns at Jeep give America a bad name. Anyone want to buy a Patriot cheap?

Love my new ride

For me the Jeep Patriot is perfect for my needs. I am able to easily get in and out of the car without issues. The seats to me our comfortable and the rear storage is plenty of room for my needs. The only issue I see so far as I am still adjusting to my new car is to put my dogs in the back with their doggie seats is difficult as one side is way too wide to hook the safety straps, yes my dogs have their own car seats. I use to have a RAV4 and the storage in the car was more hidden, but overall the Jeep does have plenty of storage too. Can't truly give a better overall rating as the car is only a week old and so far I am liking it and time will tell how everything else is for maintenance and repairs.
