I love my Patriot. It is true, there are many SUV's to choose from with more flash and flare, but do not let the professional reviews deter you. I bought a fully loaded Patriot Latitude, with the Sun/Sound Group, Bluetooth, Automatic rear view mirror, and the Freedom Drive II off road package for under 23k. It has been a year now and this Patriot has been an absolute joy to own. I bought it to explore and have fun. It has delivered.

After researching many other SUVs, I discovered the Jeep Patriot. I was looking for something that would fit my family of 4 and provide off road capability for outdoor adventures. This SUV is awesome. We took it off road and were able to go pretty much wherever we wanted. Outside of the off road package, the size is perfect for our small family. The vehicle has plenty of room and seats us all comfortably. The gas mileage is great and even though Edmonds complained about the performance of this vehicle, I have not had any problems with performance and do not agree with this part of their review. I highly recommend this vehicle.

First off, don't listen to the harsh reviews. They aren't reasonable. Secondly, this is NOT a Grand Cherokee. The Patriot is a cute little SUV (my first). It has all the comforts that a reasonable person would need, minus the elbow room of a larger vehicle. Secondly...it IS a Jeep...not a Lincoln. If you want a cute little SUV that rides and handles like a Jeep...then this is your car. I, for one, love it. The Latitude has all of the nice bells and whistles such as a nice stereo, hidden USB port for your iPOD, Blue Tooth for your phone, electric windows and door locks, heated seats, etc.

I disregarded expert reviews and read owner reviews instead on the Jeep Patriot. I'm glad I did. I purchased my 2014 Patriot Sport 4x4 last month after looking at the CRV, RAV4, Escape, and Subaru XV. I'm 6'4' and have more than enough leg and headroom and like the simplicity of the Jeep's interior. Although, most 2014 Patriots come with a new 6-speed auto transmission, I opted for the Freedom Drive 2 package with the CVT. Last weekend, I took a road trip from middle North Carolina to middle Tennessee and back crossing the Appalachian Mountains on steep grades and winding roads. The handling is great, the steering's predictable, and the ride is smooth. Power is sufficient enough to get me up

I purchased my patriot in May of 2014. Every since then, I've been so impressed with my patriot. I'm a college student at Washington State University. It snows a lot in the winter time. This jeep handles great in all types of weather. From school to my home town, Seattle WA, is about a 5 hour drive. My patriot does great on the road and handles hydroplaning, snow, gusts of wind, and carrying heavy loads of my stuff greatly. Has enough space to take a group of friends out on the town, parks basically anywhere in the city, great at U turns, and has enough power to take me back to school in all seasons. The freedrive 1 system works great and is much better than most CUVs on the road.

I have never been a jeep fan, but I wanted a vehicle with decent room, good gas mileage, and inexpensive. I looked at toyota, honda, and others, but prices were too high. Then I read about the patriot here on Edmunds and got interested. I reluctently went to the local dealer and drove one and I was shocked! I selected a 4 cyl with front wheel drive and a 5 spd manual and it drives more like a honda accord than a jeep. It is very basic (A/C is the only option) but I purchased the vehicle brand new for $13,288 including dealer doc fees. (The MSRP was $18,000) My first tank ful of gas I got 30.1 mpg! The Patriot is solid, an incredible value and highly recommended.
Very Surprised and Pleased!!

I had a Titan and needed something more practical but cool looking at the same time. I researched numerous cars and became drawn to the Patriot. I got a great deal through the internet (dont go to dealer at 1st anymore, call the fleet sales or go to internet) and went to test drive it and check it out. I ended up being very surprised with the overall experience and purchased a black one. The ride is smooth and the features which came with it are awesome. I have the sun sound package and remote start. Inside is nice as well. Nothing too flashy, but very simple and clean. Im surprised with some of the negative reviews which it received. For the price, this is top of the line
Not what I wanted but still a great vehicle

I was not planning to buy this but I was in a crunch and the dealership was running a great special on these SUVs. I opted for the manual model. It shifts easily and smoothly. I cannot find a bad thing to say about this vehicle. It is a little boxy for me, but other than that, it's great. If you're looking for a great value and need a little extra space, this car is great for you. The only other thing I can think of is that when you have the AC on, the car struggles to accelerate.
Love the car!

I do love this car. The only reason I will not give it 5 stars is I had one issue with the thermometer that cut the fans on to keep the car from over heating while idling went bad and it would start to over heat while going through drive thrus randomly. We changed that and it seems to be doing very good! I love the drive of the car. The gas mileage is awesome. I would not trade this car for anything!

I have had my Patriot for about a year now and I must say I have been enjoying the car. It is AWESOME for camping, I can put the rear seats down, slide the front seats up, and a twin inflatable mattress fits perfectly inside! I just leave my mattress and a pump in the back at all times, it's pretty sweet. Also has a built in flashlight in the roof, which is very handy when I am using the car as a tent, I know I have a flashlight in an arms reach above me. I have also used the car quite a bit off road. Taken it to a lot of dirt trails, and the car handles great when I lock the differential and turn the true 4x4 on. It doesn't slide at all coming up hills, actually has surprisingly good traction and I have crappy highway tires on my jeep. Very impressive. I also recently took my jeep to Mammoth Mountain (I'm a Southern Californian), so I was curious to see how it does in snow/ice as I never see those kind of conditions in SoCal. Ran in to some VERY icey roads in Mammoth, slapped on the locking differential, and never thought twice. Once again, more than impressed. Overall I love the car. I basically got the bare bones version, so it is VERY simple. Radio is a little dated, I plan to replace that with a more modern stereo system/display. All in all, I am getting what I want out of the car. Good gas mileage, fits all my camping stuff, perfect for skiing/snowboarding, fits all my long ocean fishing rods, and I can sleep in the thing. Love it

2014 Jeep Patriot High Altitude fwd, CVT Automatic w/ Auto-stick (No option for this car on review form) ... Vehicle had one previous owner, with 19,000 miles. Having driven it for 16 months - I recommend this to anyone who wants practicality, good looks and a bit of sophistication .. whether you take road trips with it or not. The worst part of the car, first: the CVT Transmission. This has been replaced on many Chrysler vehicles with a 6-speed auto, because people like to have their car SHIFT - cleanly and with no fuss, to the next gear. The CVT, in normal mode, doesn't really do that ... It has a 'gradual rubber-band' concept .. it slowly expands with acceleration, and contracts ... and does leave a sort of unsatisfying feeling. It's like as you go past 10mph it's gripping the engine too tightly, and doesn't let the power unwind. ... But that's in REGULAR mode -- Chrysler had done a not great job of advertising the Auto-stick feature, and how to use it. - Using the auto-stick, this 2.0 liter engine comes to life! It's good at merging onto the highway -- As you take the brake off and go to turn, onto the entrance ramp, you put the shifter to the right and a gear will appear on the dash (1) ... Then you pop the shifter to the right, repeatedly, as revs signal ... and it gives you all the power you need to get on the freeway! When you hit 6th gear ... then you put to the right and hold it, for 'Drive' - give it some gas and put the cruise control where you want it. It's easy ... and fun! It does mimic a stick-shift ... You basically got 6-speeds built in to the shifter .. but some people don't know it. Even these professional car places, like __, or _&_ apparently just drove it in 'auto' mode, and claimed 0-60 mph in freakin' 10.7 seconds or something. I assure you the High Altitude can get to 60 mph quicker than that. Normal leisurely driving around town, doing errands, with the trans in normal auto mode you go just fine. The trans is a bit loud, and so is the whole powertrain, but the " professional " reviewers don't understand a lot of people don't care about that. ... This car has the upgraded stereo - with the sun and sound package (including awesome moonroof) .. Uconnect center, to hook up your smart phone and have hands-free communication ... and Sirius Satellite Radio! Bad-a__. ... It's got leather seats, 17inch tires and awesome Mineral Grey rims. As well as the beautiful gun-metal Maximum Steel exterior paint, the sheer amount of stuff in this car really surprised me. My wife loves it. On the highway heavy wind doesn't really bother it - The suspension takes curves with aplomb, and the Patriot never feels tippy. Brakes feel solid, and safe. Cruising between 70-75 mph (Jeep has excellent Overdrive) I've gotten a decent 28mpg highway. The inside really is flat-out luxury - Really cold a/c, with 360-degree vent control ... cool lighted cup-holders ... and heated leather seats, for cold winter days. The 2.0 liter multi-valve motor isn't a torque monster, but if you rev it it will go, on the highway ... And (using the Auto-stick, and 89 Octane gas) it will keep up with any four, and many V6s, off the stoplight to about 50 mph. I don't understand other people's reviews different places saying this vehicle with the 2.0 is slow ... They're not. Maybe they don't know how to use the Auto-stick. You've got 158 horsepower .. And they're ALL THERE. (unlike many import small SUVs' hp rating) .... The thing I like best is the ride - It's a good combination of taut but comfortable. After many thousand miles the High Altitude is a great experience, for my wife {and occasionally me} ... All in all a satisfying purchase :-)

Please don't judge this car by the "expert" reviews. I've owned this car for one year and put 14k miles on it. I love it! Gas mileage is as advertised or even better (and that's with a base automatic engine). Interior is simple, but more than adequate. Ride is a little noisy on the highway, but hey, it's a Jeep not a Mercedes. If you're looking for a smaller SUV that's reliable and affordable then I highly recommend you check out the Patriot.
It's a Jeep!

First of all, it's a Jeep. Do you want plush comfort when driving? I don't think so! It's a Jeep! You really feel the road. You really have to shift gears. The steering is pretty easy though. The worse thing about the Patriot is the front visibility at about 45 degrees on both sides. This is really a problem unless you're very careful when approaching crosswalks. I wish the gas mileage were a little better, but I shouldn't expect it on a car this size. I get 23 mpg in the city. It could be a little better. The fold-down rear seats are really neat - they fold down all the way, and the passenger-side front seat also folds down. I like the engine noise - I know what the engine is doing. It's not very loud, but you can hear it revving. 1st gear is powerful - I haven't had any problem going up steep hills on dirt. The other gears are fun because you can go fast in them without the engine over-revving, and you can hear the gas injectors doing their job. I drive in 4th gear under 40 mph, and can downshift to gears that would over-rev the engine in other cars (all other cars I've owned). Once you catch on to how the gears work it's a rush to use them, especially downshifting and revving up to 3 or 4000 to upshift. The brakes are super nice. I don't know they're there, and I've had to brake sharply on a couple of occasions - no problem, but then I've never had ABS brakes. (my brakes squeak when cold or wet at very low speeds). The agency where I bought the Patriot honors the warranty, no questions asked. And they wash the car when you service it! What I'm saying is, it's a little rough for the driving. The front seats are very comfortable. I like a little rough. It's a Jeep!! Plus, you can fold the front passenger seat all the way down flat. Great for camping.

A lot of the professional reviews on the Jeep Patriot are very negative & miss the point. It is a Jeep, first & foremost. In that tradition, the interior in minimalistic & utilitarian. Switches & controls are fairly simple to figure out because they are actually twist knobs & buttons. If you're looking for an extension of your cellphone and an elaborate flat screen display, this isn't your vehicle. If you're looking the latest & greatest in vehicle included technology, it isn't here either. This is a "drivers" vehicle, it's simple & to the point. The interior is roomy for driver & passenger with tons of leg room. The rear seats fold flat. The materials are nice considering the price of this vehicle and well assembled. There's no creaking or squeaking from interior panels. The engine compartment is roomy & easy to access to work on/ maintain. The 2.4L with the 5 speed Manual is spirited in performance & like most modern 4 cylinders will rip at higher RPM's thanks to the VVT (& manual transmission). The chassis is very composed & does not feel like a typical FWD car, thanks to the solid platform shared with the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo and equal half-shafts (no torque steer). There is a nice hum from the engine, which lets you know its actually running. There is some road noise but not offensive, & that's most likely because of the tires selected on this vehicle (high mileage compound tires are hard & often transmit road noise along with a rougher road ride). The ride is fairly comfortable on road & surprisingly good off-road. For mild off-roading or exploring, it's plenty capable in the AWD/4WD configuration. Is it as capable as a Wrangler? No, but it rides much nicer down the road and the MPG are bit better at 25+ mpg. Basically it's a simple, nice All-Weather Commuter that can get you out to the woods on the weekend.

We got a 2014 Patriot for my Wife because we both liked our 2008 Patriot so much. It's FWD with the 2.0 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. The 2014 has been excellent. Cargo space is very good, ride comfort is also very good. No, it's not a Buick but this is as good or better than I expected from a bare-bones Jeep. Fuel economy averages 30MPG locally, and approaches 35MPG on a long trip. It's very capable in snow (with only FWD), and easy on tires. Only drawback is that it with such a small engine it takes a lot of shifting in the mountains. It's now at 150,000 miles. Front wheel bearings have been the only repairs besides basic maintenance. I wish they still made them -- I'd buy another. Update: Now at 160,000 miles. I just got the wiring for my trailer hitch fixed. Used my Patriot to haul a U-Haul full of furniture. It's a small engine and I took it easy, I don't have the factory towing package and it was an unusually hot day, but it did just fine. Update: Now at 185,000. Just had the rear brakes done. Otherwise no problems. Update: August 2023, now at 192,000 miles. I just replaced the clutch and transmission. Cost a little over $5000 total, and I consider it money well spent. I've looked at the new vehicles and they are fabulously overpriced. I could put 5 transmissions in my Patriot for the cost of anything new, and still have money left over. Besides, I like my Patriot better than anything comparable on the market today. Update February 2024: Now at 198,000 miles. Running fine after the drive-train work noted above. I still love it and have no thoughts of selling or trading it. Changing the turn signal bulbs is a chore! Fender well must be removed and front bumper loosened. What should be a 5 minute job takes an hour. I've done the taillights and headlights -- those are pretty straightforward. Update: The replacement clutch failed. Seems it was leaking transmission oil onto the clutch so it was slipping. Fortunately my dealer backed up their work and replaced the transmission and clutch at no charge!

Don't listen to any bad reviews. I still love this Jeep. This is my fourth Jeep and it does good in bad weather and city driving. Long trips are ok. Mpg is better than my old Jeep. I got this one for just under 12k and it has the power group and all other add-ons just like a Lattitude except for heated seats and navigation group. I don't need those anyway. I compaired this to the used Toyota Rav4 and found I would have to compromise a higher cost and more mileage for the same year. The newer ones were too expensive. The differences between the two are brand name only. The Patriot does good on every aspect so far after driving it for over eight hours on a trip this week. Mpg is 10 mpg better city driving than my old JGCH I traded in. Highway driving is aroung 28 to 30 mpg on the freeway. The steering is great and I can make long trips and not get tired trying to fight the wind or weather. Did some hydroplaning during a heavy rain storm at freeway speed and it did not lose traction. Big hills are no problem for the 2.4L A6. Cargo room is no problem.

Like so many other owners on here, I too am exceptionally happy with my Jeep Patriot. I have two relatives that own Patriots, so I knew exactly what I was getting. Didn't think I would ever part with my GMC Yukon, but I'm single, and an empty nester so I really don't need to roar around in a big V8 SUV anymore. The Patriot is more modern and practical, and meets all my needs perfectly. The cabin is laid out very logically. Stereo, lighting, and temp controls work great. The moonroof helps give it a more spacious feeling. I don't care about backseat comfort but it doesn't look too bad. Runs and drives wonderfully around town and there's plenty of pep for the highway. A couple of taps over to manual mode, and hills are no problem. We get every kind of weather on the Oregon Coast, and this little machine is perfect for zipping over to the valley or up to the city in rain, wind, darkness, and snow.

To Jeeps credit they offer one of the few remaining SUVs with a stick shift. All others have gone luxury. I simply cannot stomach paying upwards and beyond 25,000 for a 4-banger (30k for a Outback with a 172hp, 2.5L,seriously?). As a person that prefers that smaller engines.4-cylinder, are mated to a manual this was the only real option in my price range. I purchased it at Elk Grove Jeep where there were 80 units on display. I knew I wanted a patriot and leaning toward a 4x4. From my experience test driving everything on the lot; avoid anything with the automatic, 2.0 or 2.4. Testing the 5M and the 2.4 with the 4WD off was immediately apparent. Torque off the line was strong!

I have the 2014 2.4L 4wd Sport with all options for that model and not the Lattitude listed. I traded from a 1999 JGCH. I needed better mpg for long trips to visit family. My old Jeep just got most everything fixed on it, but I felt stressed on a recent long trip down south. I picked the 2014 Jeep Patriot due to mpg and trade in value for my old jeep as well as features I needed on a newer Jeep. My old Jeep Grand Cherokee got 18 mpg on a good day. It was in very good condition. The Patriot so far is what I expected since this is my fourth Jeep. The engine and transmission do great in the North Woods and on the highway at higher speeds. I have yet to see how it performs in bad weather or during the winter. I expect the all time four wheel drive to be just as good as any other type from my previous jeeps. Interior is like new and this one has low miles. Road noise and wind noise seem quiet. I expect to get around maybe 22 or better in city driving, and 28 or so highway. Listed as 11900 but ended up at 20k with financing and extra gap and coverages. Final cost on paper only drawback, but it should help save on mpg and any big repairs to worry about with old jeep.

03/2018 178,000 miles on it. Sold it. She still ran strong. At almost 100k it was more reliable than my Subaru Outback XT. When sold she was all original. She was starting to loosen up a bit, was still strong. The main reason I sold her was the driver's seat started wearing out. I'm a big guy 235lb. The Mexican upholstery shop wanted $300 to refurbish the seat. Then the check engine light came on and I needed to have the O2 sensors replaced ($225). No biggie but I traded her in for a 2018 Cherokee Trailhawk. OMG, that thing is a huge upgrade. If you are reading this and thinking about getting a used Patriot, go for it. It's one of those Jeep classics that you'll see in 20 years still going. Simple and reliable. 03/2016 After almost 40k miles the engine is still strong. Of course I have the manual transmission. Power is still decent. When pushed this whip can scoot. It pulls to redline but timing the shifts is difficult. The shifter is a mush box, while the engine is strong and the vehicle light, you have to ask yourself if it's worth racing the guy in the RAV4 or Escape? There is so much disconnect in the shifter that you won't be able to take advantage of the free-revving and torquey little motor. It'll pull like crazy in 2nd (keeps up with a 3-series BMW) when you go to grab 3rd it hangs up and won't engage until the R's fall way off. Try rushing it and you'll likely grenade the engine. It's a known fact Jeep puts cold plugs in to get better mileage. This comes at the expense of acceleration, gas mileage and refinement. Install a set of new platinum plugs http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BPITKQG. This will be the best $12 you ever spent. Long story short I changed the plugs and it went from a snarling beast to a pussy cat. It takes about 30mins max for a competent DIYer to accomplish. Much much smoother under acceleration. The engine just works better. Installed GoodYear Assurance TripleTred tires. The unidirectional low profile tire. With the 17" alloy wheels ala' Ebay. The car just handles better and feels more assured in snow and with the new tires hasn't hydroplaned once.. I am pleased with this little SUV. It's low maintenance both in appearance and operation. The roof racks got ripped off but that was my fault for not strapping the sailboards down properly and driving in 100+ mph winds. The interior has remained rattle free, the seats are losing their firmness and could probably be replaced. The windshield is bulletproof. A metal bolt came flying into it at freeway speeds, I watched it's trajectory from the back of a semi straight into my window. It made a huge CRACK sound alas but for a chip the glass is intact. Installed a new radio and 6x9 speakers and a sub. This little SUV is an installers dream with plenty of room for subs and amps. Installed a trailer hitch and that's it. The so called experts love to bagg on it. Sedan like ergonomics mean this little SUV is easy to climb into and out of. Not only that but the cargo area/ deck height is low so even my mom can get stuff loaded. It's a what I call an Obama-ride. With the economy uncertain and reemployment prospects slim am I going to go out and spend 30k+ on Subaru? This jeep fits the bill, $16,895 and I don't cry over door dings and bird dropping. Great car for the money.

2014 Jeep Patriot the Big Mystery

My wife and I purchased a 2014 Jeep Patriot from Bayside Chrysler in February 2014. 4 months later the vehicle started to make a winding grinding sound when going 65 or more MPH. A week after this started the vehicle started to make that sound and when on the highway, the car's overheating signal came on and the car decelerated from 70 to 30 MPH. When stepping on the accelerator, the car continued to make that winding sound and decelerated until it came to a stop. I pulled the car over to the side of the highway, shut if off and waited in the heat for about 45 minutes until the car started and the problem went away. The car has repeated to do this from July 2014 to July 2015 six more times. One time, the vehicle did that when driving with my family on I-80 and there was no shoulder. We were almost hit by a large truck due to our slow speed on those winding roads. On one occasion, the car did this going down a steep hill and the brakes locked up and we swerved into traffic. The car has been in the shop in both Bayside and East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania 5 times and they cannot find the issue. The dealership in Pennsylvania where the car was towed to twice recommended that the car only go to Bayside Jeep from now on. My last visit to Bayside Jeep was July 29, 2015. They could not find the issue and released this death trap to me even after the representatives at Jeep Hotline, who let me tell you are awful as well, recommended that I not drive this vehicle due to it being unsafe. Now, Bayside Jeep wants me to go into the vehicle with one of their employees and drive for hours until the problem occurs. Not only are they putting my life in danger but they are also doing this to one of their own. I am so disappointed about the way this has been handled from Jeep's end, Bayside Jeep and Gray's Jeep in Pennsylvania. As the owner of three Jeep Grand Cherokee's, I am disappointed that I even entered the doors of Jeep of Bayside. Not to mention that the business manager of the dealership told me that the car was a death trap and told me he would help me by declaring this a lemon. He has never returned my calls and I am placing these messages publicly in the event that I face an accident or worse in this 2014 Jeep Patriot. Yes, I have gone to all Agencies including Better Business, Attorney General's Office and now an attorney. Be aware and do research before you buy a car from this dealership. I know that people rant and rave on these and many websites but I am being truthful in this review and I warn you to do your research! I am a NYC School Principal with a doctorate degree and I feel that I did not do the right thing by dealing with Bayside Jeep. I have to add this piece to the review....so I have I case number with Jeep and the case manager, Jeanette, I call about 3-5 times per day. She almost never returns calls and has done zero. Her job is to tell me what I need to do and lie to me and tell me that she can never get through to the dealer or service at Bayside Jeep. Imagine corporate not being able to get through to Jeep. So today, after calling her four times she returns my call at 6:00pm and asks me whats up. I say....were you not going to call dealer and find out what next steps need to be taken. She has the audacity to say to me to be honest I forgot to call....I tell her I can't believe that the lives of my family members and I are not so important....she back tracks and says well I did call but did not get through....she got caught in a lie. We left off that she would call me in the morning-first call-after reaching the dealer. This whole situation is very frustrating and I do not trust this dealer, Jeep nor my car.

After 1.5 years ownership, we have been very pleased with our 2014 Patriot Sport, 2.4L, 6 speed auto, 2wd. It suits our farm lifestyle fine. Pre purchase research shows the engine to be unrefined, but extremely reliable and trouble free. Paired with the 6 speed auto, it is quieter and has adequate zip for safe driving. It is easy and economical to service if you are a diy'er. Ride and comfort are good. Suspension and road noise are what one would expect on a utility vehicle.....worse than a large touring sedan but completely acceptable. Considering last winter the worst in decades, it handles rain and snow excellent (even 2 wheel drive).
Much better than the reviews

I purchased the 2014 manual version, because I understand that small engines and economy come at a price. With the manual transmission, this car has fine acceleration and handling. I live in NE, so the AC was no big deal to do without and I prefer manual windows and locks in the winter. What's left then is a nice comfortable SUV that has traction control, hill assist start, fog lights, cruise control, etc. for $12,900. This is absolutely the best value for the money. In fact, I traded in my 2010 RAV4, because of the litany of problems it had. The amount I owed on the RAV was almost exactly what it cost me for the NEW Patriot with an excellent warranty.
One and done!

Bought this car in 2018 with 25k miles on it. From the get go it did horrible in the snow, it slides under braking and traction is weak. Replaced tires and same result. 4wd doesnt work all the time (4wd! keeps flashing on dash even tho all sensors are working correctly) and when it does theres no difference. Acceleration is horrible, hitting 6k to 7k rpm when getting on the highway just to catch up with traffic, which makes fuel economy bad. Gave it 3 stars because it hasnt given me any mechanics issues other than regular maintenance. Im at 105k miles and im currently looking for a replacement, all done.

I am waiting for winter to see how this does in the snow as it is not four wheel drive. It was not what I wanted and I really needed 4x4 BUT so far this SUV serves the purpose. Great for camping and I have been in many different terrains with only 4X2 and it still performs great!

In November 2014, we leased a brand new Patriot 4x4 with the CVT transmission for our 16 year old daughter. It's been a great vehicle around town but not on the freeway for an extended drive. We live in San Francisco and drove it to Los Angeles, 7/2016 on Interstate 5. We had to pull over 4x on the way due to the transmission overheating. When this happens the engine power is automatically reduced and you can't go over 40, you have to pull over and leave the car running until the transmission cools down. This is a huge safety hazard when you are in the fast lane and have to navigate to the right shoulder where the average speed on I5 is 75-80mph. On our return trip it overheated again. We took it to our local dealer upon our return and "they don't know what the problem could be, there are no error codes and the transmission fluid is not burnt." This vehicle only had 22,000miles on it. If you search "Jeep Patriot CVT transmission problems" you will find this is not an isolated occurrence. Fortunately for us, this is a lease vehicle and we are not stuck with it or trying to sell it. We will replace it in November 2016 with another brand which is more reliable on the highway, as we are greatly concerned with out daughters highway safety when she is driving from LA to SF from college. It's too bad because the Patriot was the perfect fit for her.

Overall I do like the car. I am with mixed emotions on the fuel economy as it does better on the hwy. than around town as most any car but the numbers vary greatly. I have only 2k miles to date. I like the style and color of the car. The cvt is fine esp. with the option to use it in manual mode. The brakes are good. I did have to get a minor paint issue fixed by the dealers body shop. The car handles well and everything is located where you need it to be. The seats are some of the best esp for the price but would like lumbar support. Time will tell on reliability since it really is a Hyundai Mitsubishi Dodge engine. I have had an issue with the car hesitating to start about 7 times now.

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.
What do the pro's know?

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.

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.

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?

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.

My first vehicle was a 1965 American Rambler station wagon with three on the tree. The Jeep Patriot is no nonsense SUV that will take me wherever I want to go; moreover, It truly is an all-purpose vehicle without all of the bells and whistles. I have lived from the Caribbean to the Hawaiian islands and every time zone between (except Alaska), and this Jeep Patriot would be an asset in every past and future home; moreover, for its on- or off-road ability. However, in my case why finance stuff that I do not need.

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!
Worst car I have ever owned! It deserves 0 stars.

Had my 2014 Jeep Patriot for just over 18 months. Started hearing a noise when accelerating. The throw out bearing and clutch went out. Replaced them. Cost me $1600 because it was no covered under warranty despite the throw out bearings being a known issue. Got it back, noise was even worse. Car would vibrate intensely at high speeds. Took it back again, this time they said it was the transmission. It was defective. Dealerships all over town are telling me 5 week wait for diagnostic! I absolutely HATE Jeeps now and will never deal with Chrysler again. Definitely bottom of the barrel as far as American made vehicles.

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.

I bought one of these a week ago. My package is known as the Oscar Mike, which is a sub-package of the Latitude. My main goal was to replace my current vehicle with one that my increasingly aged parents can get in and out of better. The previous car was a 2003 Merc Sable. My parents can hop in and out of the car without too much difficulty and for when mom needs a wheelchair, that fits in the back without too much effort.

I have the 2014 Sport 2.4L 6 speed automatic (Hyundai transmission, not CVT) that I bought new in 2013 and have maintained. Currently at 152,xxx miles and I still use it as a daily driver. It's been a great car for what I paid for it. Maintenance costs through the years have been very low. Only things that have needed replacing are a wheel bearing, shocks and struts, control arms, motor mounts, and serpentine...all very reasonable repairs for an economy SUV that's made it 152,xxx miles and 10 years.

I bought this car new in 2013 - the 4x4 sport manual with AC added - for $16k. Over the years, I have been so good to her. At every milestone, I take my Jeep in to a reputable mechanic to have it serviced. I've relied on biking and transit for the past 8 years, so I only use it for large grocery trips or highway drives. After almost 11 years of use, I'm at about 75k miles. Pros: I love a simple car. I love that it has crank windows and manual locks. I love driving a manual. I don't care that it doesn't accelerate quickly. I love the brake assist on hills - I have almost never stalled on a hill. The gas mileage has been really great for an SUV - I average 25-30 mpg. Back when I lived in a snowy suburb, it handled incredibly well during the winter. One year, we got 140" of snow - never once had an issue driving 7 miles to and from work. Cons: It has handled poorly in the rain. The more annoying thing has been driving in the mountains: I am in third on the highway sometimes just trying to get up a hill. I towed a small trailer across the country when I moved, and I couldn't have gone over 60 if I wanted to. Like others said, the body seems like it's made out of tin - a tiny bump makes a major dent/scratch. Repairs have been expensive. I had a small electric issue with the rear brake light that cost nearly $1,000 to fix. Last year, I had to get all new tires, brakes, shocks, transmission fluid, spark plugs, and I don't even remember what else for a little over $3k. And this year, I've begun hearing the dreaded angry transmission noises, and I am fairly certain I will retire this car before it even hits 90,000 miles. Was it worth $20k+ for ~11 years of very cautiously driving and very steadfastly maintaining a simple car? As someone who gets around on a $200 bike most of the time, no. Next time, I'll spend more to get a more reliable car. Update: Transmission is shot! It would cost $7k to repair. No thanks!!!

I just sold my 2014 Jeep Patriot after purchasing it in the fall of 2013. Pros: The parts are fairly inexpensive to replace. Cons: After 80000 miles, you’re going to be replacing them frequently. Throttle Body, crank shaft and shaft sensor, rebuilding of entire wheel assemblies, suspension gone after 80k miles, radiator fan issues, and the worst interior as far as comfort goes in any car I have owned. My friends and I refer the patriot as a “tin can”. Avoid the cheaply made 2014 at all costs. Yeah d you do have one, sell it before the curve of repair costs resembles the COVID-19 infection spread rate.

Bought it relatively new, used for long trips back and forth about 400 miles total per trip maybe two or three times a month for the last 3 years. Uncomfortable ride that destroyed my back. Really awful interior and tiny cargo space compared to most SUV's like it. At 120k miles need to have the whole back redone, suspension issues, new breaks needed.. Super bouncy, grinding ride at about 90k miles. Lights are a headache to access and replace. Light above rear view mirror leaks in the rain. And the body is cheap, I barely brushed against another vehicle and it made a huge dent in my vehicle (not even a scratch on the other vehicle). Cheap plastic everything. Only benefit is its small enough to get good parking spots in the city lol

Poor performance. I already need new brakes (15,000 miles). Exterior seems flimsy and too light weight. Excessive road noise Definitely would NEVER buy again
