nice jeep - 2007 Jeep Patriot

Love it - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By lainee guffey - December 1 - 2:33 pmWe love our Patriot...we own 2 other Jeeps (Wrangler and Commache) and although I love my Wrangler i would have to say the Patriot is a very close second. We love the comfort for road trips and the mileage is not bad either. Will always purchase Jeep products in the future for their reliabily (99 Wrangler has 180,000 miles on it and have only had to replace the water pump). The styling on the Patriot gets a lot of good comments from stangers while out. We are totally satisfied with our purchase have recommended the Jeep Patriot to others.

After 70k Problems! - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By md59 - August 31 - 8:12 pmIve enjoyed driving our 2007 Jeep Patriot 4x4 and have driven it carefully. Now after 70k miles I have two major repairs: 1) every pulley (alternator, two tensioners, air compressor) have bearings that have failed (and you cannot purchase just the part of the part - its all or nothing, baby!). 2)Also the front end is failing with the left ball joint out and the right not far behind. $2,200 after 70k miles is a little premature. Outside of that it has been a good vehicle except it has too much road noise.

Dont listen to auto writer snobs - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By Chris - May 29 - 11:00 amIm so sick of the professional auto writers who are not able to review an economy car with realistic expectations. We almost wrote off the Patriot thinking the engine had no power. Bought the 5 speed manual with 2.4L and love it. Very comfortable highway ride and 25MPG on the very first tank of gas! Traded my 15MPG Wrangler for this and am so very happy with the trade. Vinyl seats look like leather and clean up easy - what a novel concept huh? Im 61" 250lbs and was completely comfortable for a 240 mile trip yesteday. Super features at a great price. Plenty of zip for getting into traffic too.

Does anybody else have this problem - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By Krystle - May 3 - 4:13 pmSo when i first bought this jeep, i had nothing but good things to say, but now that i am nearing the end, i do not like it anymore. I dont know if it is just the ABS, but ive had quite a few near crash situations. I think i am going with a car without ABS. If i hit a bump in the road, pothole or slippery road, my brakes appear to stop working or prevents me from braking (with a clicking noise). I may just have to deal with the workings of the ABS, but I definitely do not like it! Also, the Jeep is real noisy. Also, at 38,000+ miles, it appears my gas mileage is degrading slowly.

Better the the Liberty - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By DCDC - March 24 - 5:16 pmWe picked up the Jeep in August, traded in our Liberty and have not thought twice about it. Got the Limited at a clerance price with no miles. Comfort, stero & dash are great. It drives more like a car then anything and handles great. You dont have the feeling of being top heavy as the liberty did. Gas mileage is great but could use a bigger tank. The fold flat seats come in handy. I highly reccomend this Jeep. I personally would even pay the full price for the limited for those extra options.

Window problems, cheap interior - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By farmwife - March 18 - 10:16 pmThis is my first jeep. I bought it because of price and fuel economy. We had a snowy winter, and it handles well in snow. I have a toddler, so the plastic back on the seats and the YES fabric work great. Controls are in odd spots, and that took some getting used to. Window noise from rear windows is annoying. Seats are uncomfortable, and the arm rest is terrible, cup holders very inconvenient. For the second time in a month, the power windows have failed. All four windows get stuck down, the controls get some working after repeated effort. Rear driver never responded, stuck down. In zero degree weather with a toddler, a real problem. Today it did it again- thinking of trading...

Love Its toughness - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By H.Nieves - March 12 - 1:36 pmSince I have an HHR for the city I needed something that could handle dirt roads. My Patriot is the 4WD trail rated version. Only cost $23,000, tax and license included. I have 2500+ miles and get 25mpg. Handles well in the city although the acceleration is weak. Great for washboard dirt roads which is why I bought it. I can now see desert and mountain sites I have avoided previously. Plenty of room inside for passengers and cargo. Four wheel disc brakes have a firm feel and the steering is precise.

My Experiience with the Jeep Patriot - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By Joe from Brighton - February 26 - 6:10 amGreat in town scooter and not too bad on trips. Easy to park and a better ride than my infinity I-30. Ive taken mine Hunting,the engine does not have the torque for steep terrain, but wet fields and 4 inches of snow didnt stop me. Its not a Jeep Cherokee, my last Jeep, but it gets better gas mileage.

57,500 miles, 0 Problems - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By JMo - January 13 - 7:10 amMaybe Im just lucky but I have never had a problem with my Patriot. I traded in my 05 Wrangler (cause THAT got terrible MPG) for this Patriot that had 16000 when I got it. Drove it from LA to San Fran and then to Boston a few months later, packed to the brink and not a single problem, even going over the Rockies. Drove from Boston to Tennessee and back last summer, and again, never a problem. I personally love the Jeep seats, back felt fine the whole trip and yet every time I drive my gfs 10 Rogue it just aches! Pretty powerful for a 4cyl, but of course it has the aerodynamics of a brick. Only have the 2WD and have done fine in two New England winters. Usually average 26 MPG
