Over all we love it, not one issue in 32,000 miles. We do tow a pop up camper with it too from time to time with no issues. I only wish that it was bigger & 7 passenger... For the money it was the "poshest" AWD wagon we could find, loaded with very nice leather seating and power goodies & a moonroof. I would certainly buy another one. I do think that a 3 year/ 36,000 mile warranty is a bit lame though, come on FCA... when Hyundai can offer a 100,000 mile warranty, it seems pretty crappy to only offer 3/36K on your cars. *UPDATE* It's just about three years old now and has almost 70,000 miles on it. It's been very reliable with no needed repairs. We just replaced the original tires at 65,000 miles, it still has the original brake pads and rotors that feel like new. The Ulink radio drives us nuts all too often when trying to make a call because it wont recognize names, and it wont link up to our phones as it should to play our music. It's my Wife's car so she does most of the driving of it, she's not too demanding on it. I however, drive it very hard. This is our fourth new Jeep product, and still are overall pleased with it. We do expect to get 150,000 miles before we replace it as my Wife's daily commuter with a newer version Jeep product, as long as there are no brake downs. It's not that we're married to Jeeps, it's just that they seem to be the best value so far. 75,000 Mile Update; Just replaced the front brake pads and rotors $153 in parts & swapped them out myself. There have been no other issues, so yes we are still happy with our Patriot. 98,000 Mile Update; Had to replace the gas cap as it started throwing a check engine light for a small evaporative leak in fuel system. The gas fill neck had started to get a little rust on it (we live in the northeast with snow and lots of road salt) and the light rust wore at the gas cap gasket that let out pressure & vapor that the emission system sensed. It was an easy fix with sanding the filler neck and spray painting it & a new $20 Jeep gas cap from the dealer. No other issues to report, it's still a great car, still looks and drives good and is still comfortable. 127,000 - 6 year update. Had to replace the plastic intake air shutter system, did it myself after watching a couple of youtube videos on it, a $200 +/-? part and a couple of hours of my time. The car ran fine but the check engine light came on and that would make it fail inspection so that prompted me to fix it. The car has held up very well, the exterior paint and the interior either upholstery still look new so we are very happy with the car. 160,000 mile 8 year update, This has been a GREAT vehicle for our family, it still runs great, paint and body still looks new and drives just as tight as the day we bought it new. Even the black leather seating still looks like new. I had to replace both rear wheel bearing units in the last year, I replaced them myself, parts were about $50 each. I also replaced brake pads/rotors & new tires since the last update. Later today we are picking up my Wife's new 2023 car, this Patriot will be staying in the family for our kids to drive.

They Got It Wrong Again!

First off, forget everything you just read!! The reviewers get their kick backs from the auto industry anyway. Was looking for a compact SUV/Crossover for the wife. Found this little gem and 7 months later, we couldn't be happier. We purchased the 2015 High Altitude Edition with 2.4 and 4 wheel drive (actually just transfers to AWD but jeep calls it 4X4). Main reason for purchase was price, but so much more to this vehicle. In FWD mode, we are getting 23/24 mpg in town and 28/30 highway mpg. I can't really tell you mpg in AWD because we rarely use it, even during the last Indiana winter. The FWD pulls the nibble, light weight body through almost anything on the road. While it is a compact SUV, the interior is very roomy. We have friends and family who own both the Ford Escape and the Honda CRV and they feel cramped in comparison to the Patriot. The heated leather seats are extremely comfortable and fit both our larger frames without feeling "wedged in". The cargo area is large. While it's Cubic volume may be smaller than some of it's competitors, due to it's shape, it will hold a lot of items and appears larger. As a matter of fact, my brother purchased the Cherokee and the Patriot cargo area is more useful and appears larger than it's big brother's. Let's talk about ride comfort. The Patriot is no Cadillac by any means, but we feel it has a smoother ride than any SUV/crossover we have owned/driven (GMC Jimmy, Toyota 4-runner, Ford Explorer, Dodge Journey)! While the interior is sparse, it is well thought out and very ergonomic to the driver. All controls are easily reached and simple to operate without distracting the drivers attention from the road. The handling is very responsive and doesn't have that sluggish feel as in some other vehicles in it's class. The 2.4 4 cylinder is not going to throw you back in your seat, but has more than enough power for interstate driving, actually you will surprised how easily and effortlessly the engine gets up to speed. As for the tranny, unlike the article states, the 2015 Patriot comes standard with a 6 speed transmission not the CVT. The CVT is an option, but you would be hard pressed to find one on the dealer's lot! For $21,000.00, out the door, we have a vehicle that has all the bells and whistles that would have cost us 10K more in any other vehicle. Do yourself a favor and go drive this vehicle before you buy into the crap written in this article! Options included for 21K purchase price, heated seats, leather seats, power sunroof, remote start, custom 17" rims, 2.4 liter with 6 speed automatic, 4 wheel drive (AWD transfer lock), leather wrapped steering wheel, and heated outside mirrors! Find that in a Ford or Honda and you'll pay upwards to 30K! Most of all, my wife loves it!

I have a 2015 Patriot Sport with the Altitude package. The dealership was great and my patriot looks amazing all blacked out with the factory tinted windows and 17" all black wheels. Even though it is only FWD it can handle dirt/gravel roads no problem. That includes offroading as long as there isn't any deep mud or large boulders. So far I have had no build or mechanical issues whatsoever. Some people complain about the CVT but I love it, especially paired with the autoshifter. You can get better than listed mpg with proper driving and shifting with the autoshifter.
Easily the best car I've ever owned!

As a kid, I always loved the 90s Cherokee's, so when I saw the Patriot (once I was older) I fell in love. I did a lot of research, test drives, reading reviews, watching just about every video on Youtube, and I have a few pointers. Absolutely, buy the 2.4L engine. It makes a world of difference, the 2.0L feels like it'll tip over and is slower. The 2.4 is much more sturdy and has better acceleration. Also, avoid the first few years of the Patriot models. Jeep had a long time period between the early 2000s to around 2010 or so where the vehicles they were producing were junky and unreliable, which gave them the bad reputation you may hear about. I have a 2015 and it's amazing, so I would recommend a 15 or newer just to be safe. I feel very safe and powerful inside it and the acceleration is suprisingly really good. There were a few negative reviews about the sunroofs leaking, but I'm guessing that Jeep recalled that and fixed it, because mine hasn't leaked once yet, depsite me buying it during monsoon season. It handles great off road and through water as well as on the street. I read a lot of bad reviews, but I noticed that almost all those reviews were from people renting the car for about one day, which absolutely doesn't give you enough time to write a quality review. Frankly, the only downside to the Patriot is the gas milage is pretty bad, because the tank is small; causing you to fill up frequently. Also, the cabin is fairly narrow-ish, which can sometimes feel cramped if you're maybe very tall. I'm 5'10" and I feel very comfortable in it, but I can understand why maybe someone wouldn't, at least for long periods at a time. Still though, buying this car was the right choice, and I'm so glad I got it!

My Patriot Sport actually has the 2.4L 6-speed automatic FWD option, which was not one of the offerings in the review drop-down box. I previously owned a P/T Cruiser, which I loved and managed to keep for 13 years and my son is now driving. I play music as an avocation, which means needing enough cargo space to hold a band's worth of gear (except the drums). I live in a congested area, so I must have an automatic, and I live in a hot humid area, so I must have A/C. Everything else is extra. Knowing that someday I would need to replace the P/T Cruiser, I began researching affordable wagons several years ago. Most of the reviews on the Patriot at the time were that it was underpowered and too Spartan for most of the reviewers, but those were the same demerits the P/T Cruiser earned when it came out, so I was prepared to (a) dismiss those critiques and (b) settle for something less than sterling for the price the Patriot was asking. When I finally did a test-drive of the Patriot Sport with the optional 2.4L engine and 6-speed transmission, I was immediately pleasantly surprised with just about every aspect of the vehicle. Pickup and shifting are just fine for getting on and off the highway. The interior has no extras - manual door locks, manual/crank up windows, hand-adjusted mirrors - which is fine by me; I actually prefer not having more things to break and fix as the car ages. The seats a very comfortable; the materials used seem pretty standard - there was nothing glaringly cheap about any of it; and on the whole it seems well thought out and executed. The standard sound system needed a little tweaking to deliver a sound that pleases me, but I managed to dial it in within a few minutes. My Patriot came with a single CD player with satellite radio (free for one year), AM, FM, and a 1/8" jack to plug in an MP3 or other outboard music device. I have been driving the new Patriot for a month now. I have no complaints about its performance. The only change I would make if I were on the engineering team was to make the windows a little taller for better viewing (I must duck slightly to see the traffic light if I'm directly under it). I have not had it long enough to need service, so I cannot comment on that. But I've put on almost 1,000 miles, and have enjoyed a combined city/highway mileage of j27 mpg on regular gas. I couldn't be more pleased. I was prepared to settle for less. *** Update 30 Jan 2017 *** I have been driving my Jeep Patriot for 20 months now. I love it as much as the day I bought it. Still very comfortable, decent mileage, plenty of power, quiet, no complaints whatsoever.

As many a reviews say, this car is about value and about being Jeep. I moved from Subaru legacy sedan that served me exceptionally well and with ZERO trouble for 7 years (car's age 10 years). I am an outdoors guy and love my camping trip and a bit of sofy-roading. I was split between Forester and Patriot. Few factors that swayed me to the Jeep - latest Forester has become just like all other cute-utes. Jeep stands out with is retro look. Secondly the value, features and dealer discounts. Lastly the ride height and SUV like suspension. I would have bought and XT but couldnt justify the cost. About 1000 kms on it. So far no issues. Mileage has been improving and currently at about 10L/100kms in mixed hwy and city. Great sound (and it is not the Boston Accoustics upgrade); remote start; leather trimmed seats; smooth shifting though slower to start from stop; ride comfort. Will watch for repair issues and resale. Hope it beats the Subaru I loved. ---- Just over two years and 22k kms on the Patriot now. No issues whatsoever. Followed the maintenance schedule. Feels comfortable and safe esp in winter snow. Not the best acceleration from stop, but that is not what i bought the Jeep for. This Jeep is a keeper.

TL;DR: If you must purchase a Patriot, avoid the later model years of this vehicle, and get one with an automatic transmission. Regardless of service department quality, it's clear that the cost-cutting Chrysler imposed as they moved on to the Renegade platform had an effect both on the vehicle and the inevitable service required. I'll start off by saying I was intending to buy a Subaru Crosstrek or Forester this time around, after owning one of the FDII trail-rated Patriots previously. I've always been a big fan of Japanese vehicles for the mix of compactly packaged capability and good fuel efficiency. I thought this vehicle would mostly fulfill that idea, for a lower price. I replaced the stock tires with Toyo all-terrains right off the bat. I don't intentionally go off-roading and probably don't need them, but I did occasionally get plowed in by the maintenance guys and I've barreled through snow piles up to the front grill without a problem. Visibility is not a strong point. The A-pillars are pretty large and I've been surprised more than a few times when making a left turn by cars that were completely blocked from my view. Windows are pretty small all around. I had one strange issue with the ignition system, with no warning. One cold and dry winter evening it simply would not even attempt to start. After about 10 minutes of research I found that over the years people have had trouble with static electricity locking up the anti-theft electronics in the ignition, especially in dry weather. I pulled the appropriate fuse for about 30 seconds and it started right up after that. Currently having an issue with concerning vibration noise somewhere in the transfer case (according to local shop); will update once I get it dealt with by the dealer. *UPDATE*: So, about that vibration noise... turned out to require a full transmission rebuild. Yes, at 17,000 miles (owned since new for about 2.5 years). I couldn't get too much information out of the horrible service rep but it sounded like bad bearings among other things. Some scouring of online forums suggests that this isn't an isolated occurrence, but it seems like many people just were told that it was "normal" and didn't pursue further until things really went south at 50k+. This wouldn't even have totally spoiled my opinion of this vehicle (my 2011 CVT didn't have any issues while I had it) and Chrysler, but then it took them 3 MONTHS to repair it. I called once every 1-2 weeks to get updates and was constantly led on about how it would just be a few more days. I got a loaner after a couple of weeks, but it was a Chrysler 200 with worn tires that I had to drive from January through March in a northeast winter, the exact conditions I bought a Patriot for in the first place. Afterward, responding to my inevitable complaints, the manager said that it took so long because they were waiting for back-ordered parts. He never explained why they couldn't tell me that over the phone during the previous three months. And it gets even better; once I did finally get it back and pulled out of the dealership, I immediately heard and felt something rubbing/scraping in the steering. Took it to a different dealership, and they said it needed a new steering rack and incidentally a new lower control arm because a bushing was torn. At least this time it only took about a week to fix. I can't imagine how or prove that the first dealership caused that damage while doing the transmission, but I had no problems with it beforehand. Never had an experience like this with any other car, new or used, in my 20+ years of driving.

I've owned my 2015 patriot since new. It currently has 45,000 miles on it and is a daily driver for me. I have had zero warranty issues and my only repair costs have been routine maintenance. My favorite thing about the vehicle is it's simplicity of interior layout and controls. It certainly is not a touring vehicle you'd want to jump in and drive across the county, but with the 6 speed automatic it feels zippy on city streets and is a great little bomber to boogie across town in. As an avid outdoorsman this little buggy gets me where I need to go and can haul all of my gear even for multiple day excursions. You're not going to tackle the slick rock of Moab but I have been impressed by the capability to access my favorite camping spots as well as it's ability to blast through the soft sands of the East and West coasts of Florida. Check it out for yourself. 2018 still going strong to date I have replaced the battery and put on some fresh tires. This has been my only maintenance. I now have 72k on the jeep. I frequent Ormond Beach a lot which is for four wheel drives only. Oct 2018 no new items needing fixed 81k

We traded for this new Jeep January 10, 2015 and left on a winter trip to Texas a month later 3000 miles round trip with four adults and a large car top carrier. The car performed well and the all wheel drive was really nice as we drove through a Kansas snow storm on the way home. I was concerned about trading in a 10 year old Subaru Forester with 187,000 miles that I loved, but after a test drive I felt the Jeep performed at least as well and the deal my dealer offered was really great. My experience with the Subaru service department was terrible (the only local dealer) so I was looking for a new service experience anyway. As it turns out I can't report on the Jeep service department as I have not needed to have the Jeep into the dealership for repair of any kind (I do my own oil changes and minor service). We just got back from our second winter trip to Port Aransas and averaged 23.5 mpg over 3100 miles. We now have 20,000 miles on the car and everything is working great. This little Jeep has been all we had hoped for, up to this point anyway. The only things I would change are to make the fuel tank larger for greater cruising range and mark the speedometer in 10 mph increments instead of 20 mph for easier reading at a glance. We are looking forward to many more years with this bargain SUV. The car has been to Texas and back again and now has 35,000 miles on it a little over a year later. It still has not required a trip to the dealer for repair of any kind and continues to operate as we expected. By now the original equipment Firestone tires are about half worn out and are getting pretty noisy, but we will probably replace them with new Michelins before next winter. So far we are pleased with the car. The car now has 44,000 miles on it and we did replace the tires. There was plenty of tread left on the OE tires but they became so noisy we couldn't stand it. New Michelin Defenders and the car is quiet and rides and drives better than ever. No other repairs have been required. The car is now just over 3 years old and has 53,000 miles. We drove to the Texas gulf coast again this past February (fourth trip down in this car) and the car worked great. We still have had no mechanical issues to report. Everything works as it should. The car is approaching 60,000 miles and 4 years old now. There are no issues to report. Scheduled maintenance is all that has been required. We like the car so well that we bought another Jeep last March (2018 Cherokee Limited) and hope it turns out to be just as reliable. This Patriot is now our second car. The car is now nearly 5 years old and just over 66,000 miles. We had a universal joint on the driveshaft get noisy and since the driveshaft is modular had to replace the entire assembly. Would rather have been able to replace just the u-joint for much less money. That has been the only repair required other than scheduled maintenance. This car is now just over 5 years old and has just over 70,000 miles. Rear wheel bearings got noisy (seems to be a common problem on these) and I replaced them. Other than that things are all okay. The car now is approaching 75,000 miles and 6 years old. There no other issues to report. The original battery is about 6 years old. I probably should replace it pretty soon.

I really like this car. First off I will say I traded in a 4 door Wrangler Sahara with WAY more options and I am still satisfied. I have a 50 mile commute (one way) to work and the Patriot really is just a great value. I get decent gas mileage for the size of the car, the front seats are comfy, the AC/heat works great. It is a noisy rough ride, but it is also a budget car. The biggest complaint I have would be the sound quality from the base stereo, absolutely horrible ad the plasticy feeling of the interior panels. I popped some aftermarket speakers in and it is like a different car. The best thing about this car is the storage and how easy it is to drive, especially around the city. The seating position is great and it is very very easy to know the dimensions of this car, it is one of the only small suvs that still has a hood in sight when sitting in the drivers seat. I think the critics reviews of this car are very harsh but when you start to compare it to other cars in its price range, it really is the best you can buy.

First all the "expert reviews" are way off base. Had to look at the Patriot because of all the incentives expecting to be underwhelmed. We feel we hit the jackpot. Engine power is strong. Transmission is smooth. The so called outdated interior is a breath of fresh air in simplicity. Was never that interested in the Patriot but a $28000 loaded 4x4 for under $23000 was too good to pass up. You should give it serious consideration.

I have to say that I've been warned many times to stay away from Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep products due to quality concerns. You can find on many consumer websites that this concern is well founded, as this automaker appears at or near the bottom of a lot of reliability lists. I took a shot on the Jeep, since I found that the Patriot is Jeep's most reliable vehicle (about average relative to all other cars), I love the exterior styling and interior function, and the dealer gave me a great deal on the Altitude version that I wanted. Obviously you can see where this review is going... I have just made my second service appointment for the Jeep and I've had it less than two months. 500 miles into my ownership of this vehicle, the malfunction indicator lamp lit on my way home. I took it to the dealership and they cleared the code, stating that the code came up as a minor emissions leak, but they suspected a false positive. Another 500 miles or so later, and the light is back on. Now, this does appear to be a very minor issue, as the Patriot is driving great so far. However, no one wants to be subjected to multiple visits to the dealer immediately after purchase of a new car. Now that that unpleasantness is out of the way, I have to say that I do love the car. There is something analog and old school about it that is very enjoyable, now that it is basically the only choice for those who don't love the new, swoopy styling of almost all crossovers these days. The front seats are very comfortable and the UConnect radio works very well. The high seating position, boxy shape and square windows, as well as large side mirrors all lend to visibility being very good. As for power and the CVT, I don't drive aggressively, so I have had no problems so far. It's a very smooth ride. I can see where some drivers might want for some extra power, but for me, the trade-off for extra gas mileage is worth it. Speaking of which, I'm already averaging 26 to 27 MPG, which I think is very solid considering the boxy shape. It's nice to find a window sticker that displays mileage that is actually beatable, and not a pipe dream. So, overall, I guess the grade on the Patriot has to be an incomplete for now. I have it at 4 stars, but that review could change in either direction depending on overall reliability over the next few years. I do love it, but if I can't keep it out of the garage, I'll be forced to trade it in down the line. Which would be a shame, because there is a lot to love!

I bought my jeep one year ago and put 12000 Miles on it. I was looking for a 4x4 vehicle under $20,000, the jeep patriot was the only new 4wd or awd vehicle I could find. With automatic and air I paid 19K out the door. I live in northern California and dive on dirt roads and in the snow. The jeep has excellent road feel for off road not the feel of a car made for the road with awd. I see the pro reviewers give the patriot low to average score but compare it to a cars that cost 10k more. I give the patriot 5 stars because it just gives the most bang for the buck, sure an awd car that cost 5K more has extra comfort on the road but the Patriot has adequate road comfort and is far superior off road. I have had no problems with the Patriot and my only complaint is the gas tank could be larger. I average about 21mpg and get 26mpg on long trips. If you drive an SUV in a big city the patriot is easy to park in small spaces and has an outstanding turn radius.

Purchased a new 2015 Jeep Patriot (9 miles on it when I left the lot with it). Last summer, while driving at 40 mph, it stalled out. RPM gauge dropped off to zero. The power came back within seconds. Didn't think much of it at the time and it didn't do it again for 6 months. Now it does it nonstop---every stop light, railroad crossing, etc. I've had it at my dealership 3 times for the same issue. This time they have had it for 2 months, the couldn't figure out what is wrong with it, so they have contacted the TECHS at Chrysler for ideas. They cant seem to help either. After having this problem, I hit Google. I'm not alone. The Patriots have been recalled multiple years for the same issue. Just not the 2015's....at least not yet.

To start, the "pro" review is shockingly inaccurate. The vast majority of 2015 patriots are have Auto transmissions as Jeep has tossed the CVT. The 4x4 comes with a competitive 2.5L engine. 5yrs ago Jeep interiors may have been cheap, but the 2015 interior is great! As an architect I love the way things are designed simply and functionally, no rediculous curves and swoopes, no air ducts that you can't aim in certain directions, spacious cabin, efficent cargo bed unlike the Nissan Juke. Back seats fold flat unlike the Honda CR-V. I love the illuminated cupholders. Great features at a great price, the latitude has heated seats, reclining rear seats, audio controls, 115V outlet, remote start, ht. adjustable seat and much more. I got 30mpg driving from Denver to WY and back. That's a 4000ft elevation gain. With 4WD you have the benefit of being in 2WD 95% of the time and getting better gas mileage than AWD cars (while in 2WD) and better 4wd performance while in 4wd. 16 months in, I have only gone in for 2 oil changes, no other repairs/maintenance. Driving in Colorado and skiing every weekend, I have yet to encounter snow I can't get through. My coworkers subaru has been challenged several times due to low clearance and a wide wheelbase. I've taken this on two road trips and it's super comfortable. The back is large enough that I can fold the seats down, blow up an inflatable mattress and camp in my car in comfort (so many pillows!) 54,400mi update: I've had almost zero problems with this car. I've had to replace control arms and tension rods but that is likely from hitting curbs and general bad road conditions here in the freeze/thaw of Denver. That is the only non-routine repair. I also took this onto some pretty rough roads in the Canyonlands NP and had zero issues unlike my coworkers suburu crosstrek.

The prosumer review was all negative. Blah blah! I got into a near the bottom of the line model and still impressed. The 2.4 when mated to the 5M is fun to drive. Much quicker than a Mazda 5 and Rav4. Best part is for what I paid I am not hesitant to take it off the road. Taking a $30k Subaru or Rav4 offroad? NO way. Another thing I like was availability of the manual trans. The others don't offer that. Every other sensible suv out there has gone up-market the Patriot stays true. Manual everything if you want it that way. It's lighter and faster. So name your poison!
HUGE disappointment! !!!!

I purchased my 2015 patriot sport 6 weeks ago with only 4k miles on it . Now I know why. Major engine and transmission problems. It doesn't want to shift properly and doesn't wanna go. I was almost rear ended because the engine started racing, the RPMS were in the danger zone and it didn't want to excellerate, it literally just wanted to stop in the middle of the road . It's in the shop and still waiting for the tech to call me back . Don't feel safe in this vehicle, and now that I Googled the issue I see other people have the same problem !!
Horrible waste of your money

Only a month after my fiancé drove it off the lot, she began having major issues. Front end issues, transmission issues and braking issues... took to the dealer 2 times before they would even take it in and look at it. Tie rods were ready to snap off at only 4000 miles! Vehicle does not see the interstate anymore because you can't even get up to 50mph before ramp ends causing a huge safety issues... all problems addressed to jeep (fca us llc) and it was a laughing matter to them... they claim issues arent actual issues and are normal for new vehicles... as an ase certified tech I can diagnose many issues and gave in detail the problems and was still shrugged off. Now in the process of lemon law which now jeep wants to try and make things right after 9 months of constant complaints.Do your research before buying a used one as fca us llc tries to get you to opt out with taking a new vehicle or giving you cash settlement and keep the vehicle so it isn't listed as a lemon which then looses a lot of value at manufacturer expense.

I got a 2015 Patriot Latitude. I think its great in all aspects except when it rains, it pours in the back dome light. Have had it in the dealership 4 times, fixing to be the fifth because of this. Its sooo frustrating because they say they can't narrow it down. So if you intend to buy one please go straight to car wash to make sure it doesn't happen to you!!!

I bought mine in July and I have 13000 miles on it. I have made trips to Ohio, Virgina, and Georgia. It had some miles put on it and some wear and tear. I absolutely love this Jeep. It doesn't handle like a sports car but its not meant to be. I would recommend it to anyone with a family or just a couple. I will drive this until it dies

I have had the vehicle 3 months and 3,300 miles. It has been in the shop 6 times for electrical system issues. The dash lights going on and off, the radio going on and off, the climate control vents not working and now the power windows not going up and down. This vehicle cost a lot of money and has been nothing but garbage. I see others have had similar issues online and in these review columns. Stay away from this vehicle. When reporting this under the lemon law they have said these issues were considered minor and not effecting the total vehicle operations and safety.

I love my Jeep Patriot !! BUUUUT, I have had it for only seven months and , it has been in the dealers repair shop five times to repair the trim on the windshield and roof :(( Really think this is a defect that Chrysler/jeep needs to check! After five times of ordering trim..... Maybe a defect in the grove?????

I bought my 4WD Patriot to have after my knee replacement surgery. It was easy to get in and out of and this is true for when my back goes out. I don’t “fall into” the drivers seat because it isn’t low and I don’t have to pull myself out of it. I love my Patriot

As soon as my warranty ran out the passenger side speakers stopped working, the front windows sometimes didnt want to roll up, something was going on with the transmission and the engine aquired a rattle. This car was only 3 yrs old, 59,000 miles. I traded it before I had to put a load of money in it. Loved the auto start and heated seats. Traded for a cherokee that rides so much better. Also a 4x4. Lots of room in it. Hope these problems arent on other patriots!

Jeep has poor service when it comes to recalls. Have only 3700 and already has a recall on the vehicle. After seeing other reviews on here I think we will be trading it in and it won't be on any Chrysler product. Chrysler and their dealerships don't seem to care if your vehicle is fixed or not. They have a bad attitude and could care less if they fix your vehicle because of a recall. Got rid of the Jeep because of the poor service by Chrysler. Glad I did purchased a Toyota and now have great service.

I bought for the price had 25,000 now has 60,000 owned around 2 years. Have had zero issues, maintenance is easy to do on these so do it yourself is easy. I'm 6'4 I am to tall seats do not go down at least my base model trim level doesn't. There for the rear view mirror is in my way creating a blindspot and can't see traffic lights go green without ducking down. Gas mileage is okay not bad but not great all things considered though size of vehicle and little naturally aspirated motor it's good. Cvt can be a bit iffy feeling. It's a slowww car yes it's a lil family SUV but I mean it's slow as in if you're on a 2 way road and wanting to pass a semi before oncoming traffic you better pray. Cheap interior of course it's a cheap car but holding up pretty well. Cargo space is plentiful. 2015 doesn't come with rearview camera standard in this vehicle you want a rear view camera trust me. When parallel parking and there's a car behind you can not see it so can never tell how close you are really yes you get to know your car but still camera would be nice would be very very nice. I bought it for the cargo space, was cheap, I like the style, and decent on gas. With that wish did more research on other vehicle's. I now would rather have paid more for a better vehicle not saying this is bad car but is it worth it even at the low cost. Not really not justifiable considering the other options out there.

I've been loyal to the Jeep brand for many years but this money pit is my LAST Jeep! From week one, I've had issues, many with the dealer trying to convince me that nothing was wrong. At 60,000 miles, when the transmission started slipping, I finally had enough and got rid of this heap of junk. Word to the wise...don't waste your money!

Ever since my son bought it brand new back in 2015, he has always had this keep stall on him and not going into gear. Then after a while he would get it into gear. It is always dangerous especially when you are stopped at a red light and starting going when it turns green but the car would not go beyond the first gear and not speed up. He took it in many times but the dealership was not able to reproduce the same issue. Or is only once in a while this car does that. I am scared that one day when it happens a car will run into him because it is so sudden that it happens to stall out like that. I pray that this issue does not get my son killed. I wish Jeep would recall all these jeeps experiencing this issue from since the first weeks it was purchase till now. When I borrowed it once it happened to me and I was in the middle of the road under the changing light that caused lots of cars honking their horns to get me to move the car but the car would not go beyond where it was. I called my son and he told me to turn off the engines, restart the car and pray that it goes into the upper gears for you to drive it m. I did that and it drive regular as if it never happened. I swear if my son gets killed from driving this defective jeep, you will be sued and I will get a lawyer who will file a class action lawsuit against keep.!!! Everyone out there. Do not. Uy from this manufacturer and do. Or buy this car used even if it is at a five away price. It is much too dangerous to drive as it does not go into gear ever so often and one day with fast traffic, this could cause deaths. Maybe it has already and no one had realized it because the driver died and could not say what happened to the car! From: Scared to death for my son I that 2015 Jeep patriot!!! I wonder why the vehicle details below does not have the Jeep Patriot option? I believe it is because they know that this is a major problem with this Jeep! So the bottom vehicle details does not have this Jeep listed and I can’t I choose since it would not let me. They are a scam.
