“I bought my used Jeep Patriot a year and a half ago. In the beginning it would jerk on acceleration. Now is accelerates on its own. Big clunking noise shortly after starting to drive. Looses power at times. Abs, traction control, brake, 4x4 lights all are on. Tailgate stopped opening and now the body creaks a lot”
NHTSA complaint #11229142, filed 2019-07, 80,000 miles“Just after purchasing my Jeep brand new with only 17 miles on it, around approximately 4500 miles, the brakes started making noises when depressing the brake pedal. I returned to the dealership and informed the technician about the problem, and he stated it was happening to all the vehicles that year with the specific brakes, and was a manufacture defect. Then he stated there were no recalls, but all the jeeps brakes they were selling were having the same issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #10680270, filed 2015-01, 4,500 miles“Shortly after buying the 2013 Patriot, I noticed that it had a skip and was not shifting correctly. It would usually happen most of the time at take off from a still position and while going uphill, or at low speed (0 to 45mph) after taking it 3 times to the dealership because they couldn't figure it out, they finally sent it out of town to be checked, and low and behold they had to replace the whole transmission... With less than 10,000 mi!!!! And no its still no its working correctly, it still skips on occasion and usually at take off from a still position. Do not buy a Jeep! …”
NHTSA complaint #10701467, filed 2015-03, 9,800 miles“Driving about 35mph. Went over a bump in the road and car accelerated a bit without touching gas pedal band brakes went out for a second. On subsequent occasions, in cold weather brakes get stuck and barely work for first couple of uses. I've seen at least one other similar complaint. I don't feel safe and feel that this vehicle endangers other drivers on the road.”
