My patriot has 230000 and still going strong 😊

I’ve had my 2016 Patriot for almost 5 years now bought it used, has had normal maintenance still runs great 😋

mine is 2015, I had for 6 years now. I traveled 5 times out of town for over 900 miles each way, and now it has 77000 miles. The only maintenance I've done is changed the timing belt to be in the safe side, and I haven't faced any issues so far. I hope it continues running smoothly without any problems. 🥺🥺🥺🥺

I just got a 2014 Jeep Patriot Latitude with 104k miles && for my first Jeep I’m in loveeee. She drives smooth as a baby 🥰🥲

I got my 2011 in 2020 . My mom gave it to me . She bought it new in 2012. It had 13000 kilometers. I now have 170 000 as I actually drive it. I have had no issues until just recently a control module in tbe steering column nothing that woukd make me hate this jeep. I do a lot of winter driving . It holds the road like a champ. It is quiet . Easy on fuel. 50 liter tank . Yes it is a simple interior but whatever. I was driving a newer Honda Acord. Mom told me to sell it. So I did. I miss all the perks but I am used to this jeep .

I just purchased a 2017 4wd patriot honestly I have no complaints.

Jeep patriot: the ball joint buster

Excellent Vidéo, thanks you just save my money 💰

I have a 2016 Patriot with FWD, a 2.4l inline 4, and 6 speed manumatic transmission. It's been fairly reliable, but the interior design is weird, and driving a sedan cosplaying as an SUV makes me feel like a poser. I took it off-road (through a very marshy front yard) once, and it was fine. The best thing about it is the cargo space. I can get quite a few 8' 2"x4"s, about 4 4"x4"s, or a bunch of 8' PVC pipes. This has been useful numerous times

I purchased one of the earliest "off road rated" Jeep Patriots in 2007. Very excited. Had wanted a Jeep for decades. New engine design. One of the first vehicles, I think, to specify 5W20. A few months after I bought it, Jeep increased the length of the engine warranty for new purchasers, but not early purchasers like me. I was suspicious. Jeep had narrowly avoided federal fines for having too low a fleet average MPG. They did so, solely with the inclusion of the Patriot, which got much better gas mileage than the other Jeeps in their lineup. I did some investigation, and learned Patriot owners in Europe were told to disregard the 5W20 oil recommendation in the manual to avoid premature engine failure. But US owners were NOT warned. In fact, our oil caps were embossed "5W20". So (IMHO) US owners' vehicles would be sacrificed so Jeep could avoid federal fines. I started asking mechanics to use 5W30, but got a lot of resistance due to the embossing on the cap. So I milled the embossed lettering off the cap. The car turned into a rust bucket before it hit 60K miles. It was a money pit. It was too fragile to keep on smooth paved roads. In fact I NEVER dared to take it on un-paved roads let alone off road. The only thing that didn't fail was the engine, because I used thicker oil. Despite all the repairs, I took a $20k beating on trade. Never again Jeep. Never. My advice? Steer wide of vehicles that specify thin oils for MPG.

Mines at 107,000 miles, manual, wish me luck lol

Bought mine new in 2015 with a manual. Have 154,000 miles with no major issues. 25 - 27 mpg on average. I don't do any major off road stuff but going up gravel roads and such the 4 WD is adequate.

i just bought a 2016 jeep patriot 2.4 > 84,000 Miles > lifetime Powertrain > 4 year Warranty > > just need it to get by 5 years >> so the 4 year warrenty makes me very happy >> only put 87 miles on it

I got my patriot in 2014 used it only had about 30k miles. It's been working fine I'd say I've only had to replace the alternator and that was the biggest fix. My uncle did it for 250$ in parts . Although it always pops up with engine lights because of the ABS and gas cap. It's needed about 3 to 4 new batteries in 10 years regular oil change and the gas mileage gets worse as the car gets older. It leaks water all the time I think the ACs are no good and it's like 750 to replace. I also had a motor regulator go out in my passenger windows and had to pay the guy about 150 to roll it up and check various other issues. It's been very reliable besides small stuff fixes that can be fixed within a day. It's like a upper mid vehicle I would want a sturdier frame less electrical components that are going to break easily anyway.

Just about to buy one until I saw this video, their good-looking vehicles but I don't have time to work on it every month.

Mine just went over 290,000k. it's my faithful beater now. of course, the non-CVT ;p It's done its job now every month that it goes on taking it as a blessing. if it does 300k so be it.

Where can I get the roof rack from

Occasionally? After the 12k mile warranty expired on my 2007 Freedom Drive 2 expired, I took more trips to repair shops than to work! Money pit. At 60K miles I'd replaced the control arms two times. Full brake jobs 3 times. Antilock brakes would activate (slam on and off hard) on dry pavement during the summer as I would negotiate a curve at 55MPH without even touching the brake pedals almost causing an accident. No one, including Jeep could fix it. Everything was severely rusted, including my crossmembers, which Jeep told me they wouldn't fix until the car collapsed! I figure I paid $3.40 a mile to drive that car, without including routine maintenance, insurance, oil and gas. In 60k miles I probably paid double for the car in repair costs.

I just purchased a 2008 jeep patriot and it overheats in idle with ac on! I got it from a small car dealership,said they got it in auction. Didn’t really know to much about it allegedly 🙄 send help!!

holy shit, mine stalls right after getting gas and had no idea why lol - now I know

Can you just replace one tire on jeep Patriot 4x4 if one goes bad?

The crossmember thing is a big deal. Recently had to have my 2012 patriot rear crossmember, radius arms and rear struts replaced. Very expensive as i was past the 10 year extended warranty. Wish id known to look for that issue sooner. Have a reputable mechanic check a used Patriot before you buy, if youre considering one.

Mine cant pass emission. Changed throttle body. Pedal tune up Batttery. Still check engine p0221 code also😅😅😅

I just bought a 2012 passport 4 x 4 is that money well spent over that give me problems of course we all want long-lasting low-maintenance but now that I know it's one of the lowest because it's one of the cheapest what is the sport more durable

Buying a 5 speed manual tomorrow. Is safe to say its not CVT because its a manual?

Beware the cvt

What year models have the CVT??

Nothing but problems. Used to cut off while driving then after that was fixed refused to start now various electronics have been breaking one after another and it’s from 2016

Should have been called the Jeep Traitor. Mall ready, lol.

The traction control system needs to be turned off each time you get in the vehicle to get 30 miles per gallon

Jeeps man…

Buy an old cherokee with a 4.0 straight 6 and youll have way less problems

That’s why everyone of those that come in my shop always needs tons money thrown at them for repairs unlike Toyotas need very little that’s why I drive a Toyota

Min3 only has 75k and it feels like its dieing. Anyone else?

Honestly it’s not even reliable my jeep has problems anywhere in it and mind you I drive it like a grandma you can’t even abuse it, one slight tap it feels like it’s gonna break down not even exaggerating I don’t know how these cars even were approved to come out production. My rear subframe was bad the suspension and ball joints the arms under to hold the wheels which I had eaten up tire thread. If anyone is thinking about jeep please don’t go the Honda or Toyota way even a early 2000’s or before 10 will work you so long

Nice content just: That music drives me crazy in conjunction with a non-human voice. Awful ! No subscription therefore 🙄

Buy a Toyota end your misery of owning a Chrysler product

Had to change the throttle body on mine, decided for the price difference to get one on Amazon instead of OEM/an auto shop and its been great for a year and a half. No more limp mode. Markings looked nearly identical to the OEM one I took off except for the date code so probably the same manufacturer.

240k km and shits still going strong only oil changes and one leaking cv axel 🤷‍♂️
