Jeep Patriot - History, Major Flaws, & Why It Got Cancelled! (2007-2017)

Күн бұрын

In this video we are looking at the Jeep Patriot! Many people agreed it had terrific value, with the base price starting around $15,000, along with bold Jeep styling and good 4x4 capabilities. Sales were always strong right until the end, but the Patriot quickly became outdated, while the other SUVs in the Jeep family drew more attention. Overall, 6 major flaws and reasons that I felt caused this car to be cancelled. Watch along for a full history of the Patriot, from concept in 2005 to its cancellation in 2017!

Ive owned many XJ's and now have 2 Patriots. Love the looks of both as well, but I pretty much dont need an XJ where i live anymore. I do miss the power of the straight 6, damn things were awesome, and 4 wheeling in an XJ is the best for trails. I do love my Patriots for highway driving and zipping around the city.

I am 7yrs in at roughly 150,160K miles and I am now having a No start issue after cranking..currently trying to figure it out..I've seen a handful of reasons from the starter..to dead security "anti theft" relay to wires near the front driver wheel were corroded. I also saw a video of a key who his only key fob the chip inside was bad and it arms the security and will start but shut off within a second because it can't find the key chip. I installed a Hitch on mine and a after market rack from bass pro because I kayak fish. The other small issue I had is changing the HEADLIGHTS to LED...the computer in my jeep even with professional LED kit causes the LED's to strobe. I replaced the Fog lights to LED for cheap and with ease with some china knock off LEDs from amazon. I have had them 5yrs no issues. The only other thing i'll say is I have heard Jeeps in general run hot..but I find my Jeeps engine compartment is insanely hot and some of the wiring and padding has slighting started melting. I asked other jeep patriot owners around where I live and they said theirs is scary hot as well. I haven't found anything for a reason why or if its safe.

All the tech being put into vehicles for the past 10+ years is what has caused vehicles to gain weight. My 63,200 mile 2005 Sentra 1.8 satisfies me as a practical car with enough room, comfort, good visibility, good gas mileage, and driver-friendly steering that has the perfect touch of stiffness with hardly any oversteer. Highway accelerating in a timely manner is the only thing it lacks.

It gets me where I need to go safely and fast enough. I'm a poor college student so the combined 25 mpg is nice. I got it at 64k miles and its almost at 100 now after a year. So I drive it pretty hard lol. The ac compressor needed to get replaced and now so does the abs module. The front suspension clunks so yeah you're totally right about it having suspension issues but so far it only clunks so im not too worried it about it now. The car does vibrate violently so I need to replace the motor mounts. It's not ideal but for a car with almost 100k miles and me being like the 9th owner including someone who was a smoker. It's held up amazingly well and I'm positive as long i take car of it it'll last another 10. Great starter car. It's like a nice beater. I'm not too worried about scratches and bumps but it still looks nice and takes me and my girl wherever we need to go. Also, patriots have such nice booties lol

I love my 2015 Patriot. It's great in snow, and I prefer how simple it is. All the fancy electronics annoy me in my climate. Winter nights can commonly get below -40, so everything run through an LCD infotainment screen can mean waiting for it to heat up before being usable. Plus, it has a classic Jeep look, that is sadly missing from many of the new models. And lastly, the square back allows for taller cargo that simply won't fit in the Compass or Cherokee. Is it sexy? No. But it gets you where you need to go when you need to get there.

I loved how the Patriot looked! I owned a 2016 Jeep Patriot 4x4 manual in Eco Green. Seemed like a nice car until I started towing with it. Within 25,000 miles the transmission exploded and 3 months later the clutch went at 26,000 miles. Towed no more than 1000 pounds, traveled from Long Island up to the Adirondacks to fish on Lake George, towed a 16 foot aluminum boat , 25 HP motor and light galvanized trailer- with people, cargo , boat, motor, trailer - probably no more than 1700 pounds . Was going home and up in Yonkers the clutch failed going up a slightly hilly street. 26,000 miles !!!! So I traded in my Patriot and bought a 2017 Kia Sedona Minivan on Carvana with 32,000 miles. So much better having the minivan and it gets almost the same gas mileage. The Patriot with it's little 172HP motor gets almost the same gas mileage as my 276 HP Kia Sedona Minivan. They were right about how unreliable Chrysler/Jeep products are. Never tow with a manual transmission Jeep, if you tow get the automatic and see if Jeep still has that lifetime powertrain warranty. Very tempting to buy the Dodge Caravan but then I saw the crash test results and remembered all the transmission trouble with the Jeep.

I bought my patriot new in 2017. I have had it for 5 years and we have traveled over 100,000 miles. All maintenance done in time and no issues or weird shakes. Only recently am I experiencing a potential mechanical failure which I am positive is related to the CVT. Another odd thing which the dealer didn't want to help with is the doors. They seem to be uneven and make a strange popping sound when we open and close them. Oh well. Great bargain and so reliable

I bought a second hand '15 Patriot in 2018. I loved it then and I love it now. I have a few small complaints about things that broke pretty quickly when I bought it, but that's mostly interior items. And can be chalked up to being bought/sold second or third hand and well used. My brother and his friends used to tease me about having a "wannabe jeep" and that it didn't even have 4WD. I recently made them eat their words with a nice test drive around the mountains... now they want to add things to the engine and upgrade it.

Before sales I was a car mechanic and a delivery driver, of sold cars for garages, so my experience of vehicles in snowy weather is extensive. Why Chrysler would choose the Compass over the Patriot is amazing considering every Compass owner I knew HATED it and had major trouble with them. You never see older Compasses where I live as they barely made it past a 5 year life span however Patriots are very common but not on used car lots as owners tend to keep them.

Just replaced the front brakes and rotors since the rotors were warped and it's running (and braking) like a dream. Excited to have many adventures in this car, and I hope to take good care of it and make it last as long as I can.

We did a lot of traveling with the Patriot and we got great service from it. There were no problems or complaints with the Jeep at all. I no longer own it but I still see it around town. A couple pull it behind a camper. I'm still driving a Jeep with a new 2021 Wrangler with the 2.0 Turbo.

Personally I really like mine (2011 manual North edition) for what it is, just hit 100k kms on it and it drives really smooth, however, relay box is at a terrible location, prone to corrosion on relay contacts. Going to get the X69 10 year extended warranty done on it for rear crossmember rust-through (highly recommend checking into this if you have rust-through on either front or rear crossmembers and have up to a 2012 model) and will be putting in a bunch of new suspension parts while they are under there (toe links, upper/lower links, trailing arms and bushings). I guess my only real complaints are early suspension problems (cheaper parts than oem readily available so not too bad), not always easy to work on mechanically (namely alternator being in a very weird location), and that's about it. Other than that I really like my Patriot despite others around me telling me its a piece of crap lol... its my piece of crap and it works for me haha
