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?

Don't expect a good company, or product

I've owned a 2014 Jeep Patriot for a little over a year and they've reminded me multiple times why I'll never purchase a Jeep again. As a few others have stated, they simply don't stand behind their product. I had an issue with the VIN being manufactured incorrectly where the vehicle wasn't able to be licensed (or legally driven). I've already spent a week without a car, am told it's going to take months to adjust the plate, and Jeep has repeatedly refused to help provide a replacement, or solution. You'll be treated better if you're trying to return a bag of half-eaten food to Wal-Mart, than if you have an issue with your Jeep, and for a $20,000 product, that's completely unacceptable.

Funny story - While waiting for a Ford Torneo from Spain, my little Chrysler broke down - expensively. Had to cancel the order, forfeit the deposit and look for a new vehicle. The wife said she wouldn't mind going back to a Jeep again, so there we are. Read the negative reviews (from professionals) and the positive reviews (from owners) and found nothing to put me off - except a growing skepticism of professionals. They were wrong on every count! The salesman actually finagled a discount to rebate the $500 deposit, after I agreed to buy and here we are!
If I could give zero I would

I got this car with no research or really considering another vehicle, our only car died on us and I needed something that day so I picked what I thought was the cutest on the lot. Big mistake. I will never buy a jeep again, period. This car has been nothing but problems almost since day 1. I’ve had it for 3 years, it’s at 76,000 miles and it’s had over $12,000 worth of work on it NOT including your regular maintenance things. I will NEVER make this mistake again and I hope none of you will. Ignore the good reviews on this one, the fact it has a 6.2 overall rating on cars news should say it all. If you really just wanna waste your time and money then this is the vehicle for you, look no farther! I’ll list a few of my favorite fixes so you know what to expect, leaking sun roof, throttle body, throttle body again a year later, motor mounts twice, battery terminals twice, every single part of my breaks, radiator, others I can’t remember the names of, it’s a long list. I’ve put 50,000 miles on it since I had it so I would say that much work and money isn’t really “normal” for vehicles. After doing some light research Jeeps made certain males and years WITH bad parts so other parts go wrong, hence me having to replace things over and over. Also, can’t stand the lag, that’s apparently normal for Jeeps, I mean foot to floor the car is still gonna think about if it wants to go or not. You aren’t winning a foot race in this let alone making the light. Now all this negative I will give it a few positives, it is a really cute car (to me), I absolutely love the exterior and interior look, there’s an actual outlet in the center console (that is pretty cool and it has certainly been useful), the lighted cup holders, electronics and Bluetooth are simple to use, that’s about it. One more major positive I was rear ended pretty hard at a complete stop on the interstate, her car (a bmw) was obliterated mine ate a couple scrap metal pieces from hers and drove away with about an inch gash on the bender. I bought it used from Carmax so don’t have any dealing with the dealership stories but buyer beware on this one, do your research before you buy and check out your local Carmax, $4,000 for a 6yr/160,000 miles warranty, mine has obviously paid for itself a few times so well worth it.
