Overview & Reviews

The 2009 Jeep Patriot receives an available uconnect multimedia integration system, additional sound insulation, a spruced-up dash layout and a new center console and door panel design with padded armrests.

• Low base price, Jeep-lite styling, decent off-road ability.

• CVT saps power and produces tiresome engine drone, lackluster interior materials, meager cargo capacity.

  I love my Patriot - 2009 Jeep Patriot
  By Maureen - October 24 - 4:13 am

  I love my 09 Jeep Patriot; it is a pleasure driving it; this is my first Jeep product and Im very satisfied. I drove the 09 Toyota RAV-4 and the 09 Honda CRV and I did not like them but when I drove the Patriot I felt in love with it. The interior is so comfortable and the design is so elegant; it is easy to maintain. The exterior design is so cute, perfect size, easy to park, in other words it is the best SUV for its class: (economic + reliable + comfortable). I have driven about 3600 miles and more I drive it more I love it. Thanks Chrysler for this wonderful product! Maureen, Ft. Lauderdale FL.

  Smart buy - 2009 Jeep Patriot
  By Like a rock - June 5 - 10:00 am

  The jeep patriot is a pleasure to own and drive for the price. I drive a lot for my job and the gas mileage is great from 28 mpg to 31 mpg. I have a 5 speed stick and its fun to drive and great in the snow. It has 31,000 miles not one issue the quality is there. I drove cr-v, rav4, the Jeep won, 31,000 miles later no regrets.

  Maybe next time - 2009 Jeep Patriot
  By Jeepbuyer - May 19 - 7:03 am

  Small interior, blind spots, unheated mirrors that fog up, front seats that heat but arent power, sliders for seats stick out way too far and could cause injury. Not much pep in the engine. Oh and did I mention the 13 1/2 gallon fuel tank? Way too small. SUV sits way too low to the ground I thought I was in a sports car not an SUV. I am a tall female who half the time cannot reach the controls of the sun roof. Does it sound like I am happy? Should have walked away from the deal. Next time I will buy another make or spend more money on a real Jeep.

  When it rains, it pours - 2009 Jeep Patriot
  By Christina - March 26 - 11:46 am

  We bought our brand new 2009 Jeep Patriot in July of 09. A month later we had a horrible rain storm. The rear dome light proceeded to fill up with water and leak into the cargo area. In total we have had it back in the shop 4 times-Jeep cannot fix this problem. I will never buy a Jeep again. Dont get me wrong I love this little SUV and would drive it into the ground if it wasnt for this leak. Jeep just cannot pinpoint the area of the leak and has tried everything. Needless to say we are using the Lemon Law and will not ever buy another Jeep product.

  Read this if you want the truth - 2009 Jeep Patriot
  By arlo - December 11 - 10:00 am

  My Jeep is a year and a half old and I wish I never bought. I thought I was buying a well made American vehicle but I was wrong. I am now getting my tie rods replaced my front interior light leaks water my driver side window was stuck down and my antifreeze hose was leaking. I am very dissatisfied with my purchase. I will be contacting corporate.

  Love It - 2009 Jeep Patriot
  By Mike - October 22 - 12:00 am

  I have been dreaming about owning a fuel efficient trail rated Jeep and along came the Patriot Freedom Dive II. I have prior tested the VW Tiguan, Subaru Forester, Outback and Impreza, Honda CRV as well as Toyota Highlander, RAV4. I own a Nissan Pathfinder LE 2001 and wanted something smaller. The Patriot fits the bill. It is fun to drive, easy to handle and well built inside and out. The materials are great. The navigation system and uConnect phone are fantastic, the satellite radio and iPod controls are amazing. I love the permanent AWD system which can be locked into 4x4 and 4x4 low. I cant wait for winter to update my review. I bought Jeep despite the crisis - Jeep will likely live.

  Good bang for your buck - 2009 Jeep Patriot
  By jeeplover - October 3 - 2:43 am

  I recently traded my fully loaded 06 Ford Fusion for this bare bones 09 Jeep Patriot with the 5sp manual. I am very pleased with my purchase. I am very impressed with the fuel mileage of this SUV. I have been averaging 30mpg with mixed city and highway driving. This is a fun to drive vehicle with the manual transmission and the traction control is a nice standard feature as well. I am a first time jeep buyer and will definitely be buying another one.

  By Frank - August 18 - 10:16 pm

  This is by far the best small SUV for the price. I have the 2WD with a 5 speed and its fairly quick, and consistently has been getting 33 MPG on the highway!!!

  Beware of interior LEAKS - 2009 Jeep Patriot
  By spy178 - July 8 - 12:26 pm

  We just picked up our new patriot 09 limited, sun and sound package on 8/5/09 and noticed our 1st leak (water pouring out of the front Dome Light) about 2 weeks later (1st rain storm). Come to find a Recall was issued by Chrysler on 8/7/09 for the same issue. Everything else is great about the jeep, but ive already had to take it in to have the leak issue looked at. Dealer claims to have resolved the issue by clearing a drain in the sun room. Judging by the many online posts on this issue, the same leak or a new one is likely to return. I would suggest that if you are in the market for a new patriot, to at the very least take it through the car wash a couple times on the test drive.
