Good entry level 4x4. Inline four cylinder does well with automatic transmission. Does well off road I average conditions. Inside is above basic with Latitude package. Descent gas mileage and good ride for what you pay .

Why there is a Lemon Law

I am not sure I should blame Jeep, the NY (I know, I know) dealer I purchased it from or BOTH!I should throw my local(2) dealerships where I went for service under the bus also since it was my neighborhood mechanic that actually was forthcoming with me about the issues and actually managed to get it running again after months and months of getting the run around. I have purchased used vehicles for decades now so I prepare and expect that there may be an issue that needs addressing upon or after purchase so I buy with that awareness. This vehicle and the situation with the dealer was so outrageous that one of the local dealerships where we had taken it the first time it stopped working (completely!) called to tell us to come pick up the car because they refused to work on it anymore.Several times the car was completely and utterly unresponsive and left me stranded. I actually had to tow it so many times we exhausted our AAA towing benefits for the cycle/year. So, more $ out of my pocket. Even the extended warranty rep that I reached out to desperately looking for assistance told me there wasn’t anything he could do but, “off the record it sounds like you should get some legal advice”. As much as I appreciated his honesty, it only lead me down a frustrating and costly road dealing with lawyers; plural. I paid to have the lawyer(s) correspond with the dealership through certified mail only to be told that the dealership could choose to ignore the formal communication after a response waiting period of 30 days each time a letter is sent and that any protocol beyond that is pretty much non existent. The lawyer did offer to write another letter. I declined and kept my $. I know what you are thinking. Trust me. I have had everyone from the mailman to my mother say, ‘you should pursued the Lemon Law’. OFC I tried that but never received communication back from the NY office listed on my purchase of sale original paperwork.Almost comically, I wrote, sort of like this, a long and rambling letter to my local news consumer help advocate. Yup. Not able to help with a Lemon Law complaint.The two “excellent” pieces of advice I got “off the record” from two separate letter writing lawyers : 1. “You should never have bought a used vehicle.They are too much of a risk. Lease next time” 2. “You should trade it in and buy a new car”. Brilliant advice, right?!IF I could afford those options would I be futilely looking for help rectifying this situation?Would I be driving a car that I have had less than a year, that was out of service for more than half the time I owned it, that has cost me thousands of dollars above sale price, countless hours of wasted time trying to find help, talking to dealerships that probably were just laughing behind my back, paying for rentals and Ubers, and daily praying the lemon doesn’t stop working while I am on the highway or during a Nor’easter

I'm a Jeep fan so I might be prejudice. Had a 2011 Patriot we put 130k miles on. The extended warranty on some components was a good thing for us. Regular maintenance enabled us to enjoy it .. couldn't make a favorable deal on the 2016. It was a very clean low mileage vehicle

For me, it's the perfect vehicle. Comfortable with a little extra room. It doesn't have a lot of power, but the gas mileage is good for an SUV. This model has a couple of bells and whistles my previous model didn't have, like power windows and seats, the backup camera, and cruise control. It's a simple vehicle, but that's the kind of vehicle I like.

2016 Jeep Patriot overheating

My vehicle started shaking and over heating the other night after putting gas at a random gas station. My truck was running fine but it needed gas so I stopped at gas station and left the car running while I pumped gas and by the time I finished putting $10 in gas my truck sounded like it was choking out and sounded as if it wanted to stop running so I quickly turned off my truck and tried to restart it and it sounded as if the ignition was stuck in the on position and it kept on trying to crank on its own...so I didn't know what to do so I was thinking possibly my battery was weak so I got my battery charger and jumped my truck and it started. So I started driving and then I noticed the tempature gauge was rising to the hot position so I stopped and checked the coolant and it appeared to be empty so I refilled it by adding coolant to the reservoir and let my vehicle cool off for a hour or so and made it home. My husband changed the thermostat and the coolant tempature sensor and the radiator but it was still appearing to run hot and to not want to start without sounded like it was stuck in the on position so I had a wrecker take it to a local mechanic and he changed out something called the evaporator sensor and put a new timing belt on and told me it was fixed when i picked it up it is STILL doing the same exact thing
