2015 Jeep Patriot Sport 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

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.

Pro review wildly inaccurate.

2015 Jeep Patriot Latitude 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

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.

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 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 !!
