  Piece of Junk - 2017 Jeep Patriot
  By Centa - October 27 - 6:46 pm

  Bad on gas, windows/doors/automatic starter does not work often with remote, dash board blinks off/on, clock resets everytime its started, acceleration is slow, brakes squeak since 200 miles sometimes and watranty is only for 1 year.....Everytime vehicle is taken in for service, they say everything is good, we cant find anything wrong. Its at dealership for service again and rep notice all of complaints. The truck is a lemon, no doubt.

  Its a Jeep! - 2017 Jeep Patriot
  By John Ontko - August 8 - 5:58 pm

  Its no Lexis, Infinity, Audi or Mercedes SUV. It may not be as sophisticated, but it is a solid 4WD SUV with room for your stuff and sufficient power for normal driving with the 2.4 liter engine and the 6 speed transmission. I did drive the 2 liter model some months ago and found it to be inadequate. Visibility is very good. The seats are comfortable enough and the controls are conveniently located. The fit and finish is good, but the materials could be a better grade, but acceptable for the price. The dealer offered several discounts. The ride is a little stiff and breaking is good. It handles well in wet conditions and it seems to be well balanced. The gas mileage is not the best and the gas tank capacity is only 13.6 gallons. The UCONNECT SYSTEM is adequate, but the instructions for set-up are no so good. Go to UTube for good set-up instructions. The vehicle is pretty new and time will tell.

  So glad I didnt buy this - 2017 Jeep Patriot
  By Gary - January 7 - 7:48 pm

  To be direct about this, I looked at the sticker price. I rented one for a week and now can honestly say, even with a low sticker price, it is very much over priced. It reminds me of the one time I drove a Yugo, which was 5 minutes I will never forget.

  Jeep Patriot Sport 4x4 manual transmission - 2017 Jeep Patriot
  By R.L.Faverty - May 20 - 10:13 am

  Our family has owned and driven jeeps since 1970 starting with the Grand Wagoneer, we love them. All have had a complete low range gearing. My previous jeep was a Cherokee bought in 1984. As I consulted to the minerals exploration industry and mining it got heavy use and the low range came in handy as it did in the previous models. I have drive manual vehicles since 1964 and was dismayed with the Jeep choices. I wanted a full Jeep transmission like the Cherokee had, but my choice there was a glitzy model or a Wrangler. At my age the Patriot was the best fit and all I could get was 4x4 Sport model as I like crank windows and no central lock, The 4x4 drive lack a true low range, but when you lock the four wheel in it seems to drop to a lower range as describe by the technicians at the Jeep dealer. The anti sway feature is remarkable on muddy wash board roads and where hydroplaning is occurring, I live in western Colorado and the afore mentioned features combined with the 2.4L engine is remarkable. Also, I bought the Patriot for its plane jeep look. I like to scramble old mining roads etc and the glitzy just would not fit as I would not want to scratch and dent such a fancy vehicle. I am a large, very large man, and this vehicle is roomy front and rear for me. On the freeway gas mileage is about 30-31mpg using cruise control at 65mph. Lots of power to spare and shifting is smooth and easy, and the stick is well positioned.

  Northern vehicle for crappy road conditions - 2017 Jeep Patriot
  By Christy Oslund - December 9 - 8:48 pm

  Havent had this Jeep Patriot Latitude long enough to comment on reliability but I can say, if you live in an area with challenging road conditions and a lot of snow, this is a great choice. Bought during a winter where we regularly received 6 inches overnight and plow trucks were leaving my former car stuck in my driveway every morning. The Jeep has handled these conditions admirably; under the worst conditions the 4 wheel drive ads an element of grip and helps get up and down steep, poorly cleared streets. Ive always driven practical vs. plush vehicles, so from my point of view, this is a comfortable vehicle to drive. My first with heated, leather seats and honestly - I love them. So why not a 5 star rating? The drivers door often creaks on opening and I do have some concerns about how this will hold up long term. My need to get over rough roads and living with extreme winters though, made the clearance and 4 wheel capacity of the Jeep more important. Sure, if I was going to spend at least another ten to twenty thousand, I could buy a vehicle that was equally good on rough roads and more likely to hold up better over time. Id rather spend a lot less up front, and re-evaluate my needs in four or five years, by which time car technology will have taken a few more steps.
