Bought brand new with 5 miles on it. Left my family stranded 7 times, the first 2 times were at 260 and 550 miles due to a fuel leak. Then the cruise control started taking off and accelerating on its own. And the electrical issues are off the charts! The jeeps entire electrical system shuts off while driving,starts back up and the radio chants a ham radio signal, over and over again. No matter what you do, turn it off, open the doors, it won't stop. The jeeps radio turns on in the middle of the night, completely draining the battery. Even the tow truck can't charge it, the doors will not unlock, tires locked abs has to be dragged onto the wrecker, forcefully! This electrical problem has been going on well over a year! The radio has been replaced twice for freeing up and refusing to answer calls, screen freezes ect. The brakes now squee and the front end clunks off and on. Headlights dim randomly and has a terrible vibration while in drive. I have a lawyer, its that bad. Everyone I've met with a Patriot has endless problems! Never, ever again! UPDATE. Jeep has been returned on lemon law. Such a relief to have it out of my life!

I don't get the Jeep thing

I got this 2016 Jeep patriot as an unwanted upgrade at enterprise. I wanted something that got good gas mileage and they had no cars. I was told this this would but it consistently got only 21 MPG. Soooo where to start, the engine sounds like an angry sewing machine, and it doesn't do much to the motivate the CVT that has trouble changing gear. It idled rough... It had 5341 miles it should run great I would think. It rides like a truck, rough and bouncy, and there is tons of oversteer. The front seats lack lumbar support, they are manual with minimal adjustability. The radio made a terrible high pitched noise when I plugged in my phone into aux and it was plugged into the outlet. The door sills are high and I smack my feet on it getting in and out. There is no visibility out of the back windows unless you lay the rear seat down, the roof line gives poor visibility out of the rest. I've driven jeeps I like and lots of other SUVs that were great, but this has to be the worst. There was nothing that stood out as good beyond the braking performance.

Does everything I need it to do. I'm 6 ft tall and have plenty of headroom, even with the sunroof. The one touch sunroof is great. Most, if not all the complaints I've read about this vehicle are really unfounded . There are so many different versions that you can get one that suits you. What other vehicle has a choice of hand crank or power windows, manual, CVT, or 6 speed transmission, 2 different versions of 4WD or 2WD? The 2.4 has plenty of get up and go, and gets good gas mileage. Rides so smooth and has plenty of zip for the freeway. Leather wrapped steering wheel feels good. Leather and mesh seats are comfortable and look great. Basic stereo sounds great. I really like the layout of the dash and all the controls. So many vehicles have buttons placed almost randomly, not the Patriot. It has a very intuitive layout. And how bout the name Patriot? I think it's patriotic to buy a vehicle that is made in America, with such a rich American heritage. I have the 6 speed auto with fd1 4x4. Shifts great. Nothing wrong with the CVT either, I've driven one extensively. The only other features I would have like to have are the EVIC and a telescoping wheel. The EVIC doesn't come on the 75th Anniversary Edition, and telescoping steering wheel is not available at all. So it may take a little more time to dial in your position. Comfortable ride. I also have an 01 Grand Cherokee. It has more power and off-road ability but pretty poor mileage. Independent suspension on the Patriot does great at sucking up the bumps. Basically the whole vehicle is like taking the old Cherokee and refining it for the driving that most people do. If you want a true off-road machine get a Wrangler, they're awesome! If you drive mostly on the road but want very good bad weather and mild to moderate off-road abilities with decent mileage, the Patriot may be for you. I'm glad I got one before they stopped making them. Wish they kept making them but I guess 11 years is a pretty good run. I bought the Maxcare Lifetime Warranty. I plan on driving this for many years to come. It's just a great all-around Jeep!
