It's been reliable over the years. Only now am I putting a lot into it in repairs but it is ten years old
I like the seat moving up and down and It's been reliable. Blind spot is kinda bad. Now that I've driven a car with a backup cam I really wish mine had it

The technology built in the jeep patriot could be improved.
The biggest problem I had with my 2008 jeep patriot would be the technology built in it. I had to constantly bring my car in to get codes cleared. The sensors kept getting confused thinking my car was in bad shape when it really was not. I had to get work done that cost $1200 dollars. Nothing physical with the body of the car has ever gone wrong. Durable. I feel safe in this car. Just the technology built inside was acting strange.

I enjoy the compact size it is perfect for my single ride commute.
Got it 2008 and drive it consistently for 10 years. It is reliable no real issues that can't be avoided with routine maintenance. It handles rough terrain decently. It is not a speed machine, but will power through.

I love my vehicle. If I could buy a newer version of it, I would. I will definitely miss it when it's gone.
accountCircle Lindsay N on January 26, 2021
The 2008 is the worst year you can buy for this particular model. While others have had success with newer versions of this car, overall, the maker has gone downhill in the last dozen or so years. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.
This vehicle is a lemon. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong - everything from replacing the transmission, fixing the exhaust and manifold multiple times, to the hinge on the driver door breaking causing it to not close. My teeth rattle when I drive it. Replacement and maintenance is not cheap either. I will be getting rid of this car as soon as possible. I fell in love with the overall look and size of the car for our family - it was the car I bought my son home in for the first time - but the problems and cost thereof, outweigh these feelings.

It has been a complete and total dream to drive. I have had minimal issues with it. I wish all my past cars were as reliable as this one.
My car pretty much has no problems, except the occasional dead battery or starter going out on me. The performance has been a dream. It drives the same today as it did the day I bought it. It is a very comfortable car, leather seats, adjustable headrest, etc. It has great features including a car alarm and a 6 disc CD changer along with AM/FM radio.

Reviewing the positives and negatives of the Jeep Patriot
This car has great gas mileage compared to other Jeep models. Doesn't have as much horse power and isn't able to tow more than a small trailer. Doesn't perform very well in the winter, hard to get traction when there is a lot of ice or snow. Very easy to take care of and very affordable.
accountCircle George W on October 7, 2020
A good everyday car for getting around.
Overall, it is served us well. We do not like the CVT (continuously variable transmission) and will never buy another that has CVT. The vehicle is front wheel drive which we do like. The four cylinder engine is not the best for Colorado mountain driving as it has a hard time going up mountains. But for everyday driving around the city it serves us well. It has a lot of room for taking things on a trip. The back seats fold down nicely.

2008 Jeep Patriot is a good car
The car runs good and still looks and runs new for being a 2008 model. The only problem I have with my car is the mileage to the gallon is not great. I usually have to fill my tank up twice a week with about thirty dollars to fill it up. My breaks are not that great either but it's a good car overall.

Jeep patriot: beautiful but needs work.
The only problem I have had is with the decrease in speed when going uphill. I seem to have to press harder on the gas pedal. Then there is the problem of it stopping (after it hit 10 years) if the engine is not warmed up enough. Also, the light fixture inside the cabin rattles and when all 4 windows are down it seems as though a helicopter is overhead.

Practical vehicle that gets me where I need to be with no issues.
My patriot is very reliable. For an SUV type vehicle, it gets great gas mileage. The lock in the back hatch only works sometimes, which is unfortunate, but that is my only complaint. It is very spacious and fits all of my camping gear and then some. I have a base model, but was able to upgrade the radio with no problems.

Decent vehicle for decent price.
Not had to many issues with the Jeep within the couple years of owning it. Did have to replace the a/c compressor after it went up over the summer. And also have had an issue with losing rpms at idle when at a stop light. Figured out that running mid grade fuel really helped with this issue.
accountCircle Sher A on July 13, 2020
Versatile compact SUV for everyday adventures.
I like my jeep patriot a lot. I think it is a good size because it is lifted higher than a compact car but still retains a compact size for an SUV. My car does not have auto windows or doors (so sad), so if it was fully auto I'd be even more content. Gas mileage could be better, but it is pretty decent for an SUV.

Blue Jeep with tinted windows all around.
It was bought from a personal seller. It is blue in color and has quite a few features that I enjoy including 4WD, cruise control, and an alarm system. It is a 4-cylinder engine which is easy on gas compared to other Jeeps. It needs a few things done here and there including brakes and wheel bearings but other than that it drives pretty smooth and responds very well to turns and stopping. The windows are also tinted which adds a "cool" factor too it.

I love the look and comfort of my Jeep, but I have problems with water on the carpet in the back, I initially thought it was from my children spilling things, so I stopped letting them have drinks in the car and this did not solve the issue, I've talked to other Jeep owners with the same problem, I feel like it will rust through at any time.

The worst vehicle I have had the displeasure of owning.
This is one of the worst vehicles I have had the displeasure of owning. The CVT transmission overheats on a regular basis. Also you have to have a special dip stick to even check the transmission fluid and is so inconvenient. Also the vehicle gets stuck in gear and you have to do a ridiculous sequence with the gear shift and 4 wheel drive to get it unstuck and your lucky if that even works. Like I said, one of the worst vehicles I have ever owned.

2008 Jeep Patriot: perfect for day to day life.
My Jeep is a perfect car for day to day travel. It is fairly large but not overbearing. It also is a 4 cylinder so it is fairly good on gas miles.

Overall, this vehicle is very reliable and can get you where you need to go. It's simple and doesn't have any high tech features, but I'm content with just having an aux cord and A/C.

Some fun features include a very deep hidden center console, a built in outlet as well as a place for a car charger, and a built in flashlight in the trunk.

Jeep patriot, overall dependable and good buy.
Overall my patriot has been a great car to have. I purchased it used 2. 5 years ago from a private seller and since put 25,000 miles on it. I keep up with regular maintenance, oil changes after 4,000 miles and a yearly alignment, tire rotation, and air filter change. Thus far the only expensive repairs the car has needed were a wheel bearing replacement on the front driver side tire and a small wiring fix that caused a starting issue. Together theses repairs have cost about $2000 over the course of 2 years, but are not unexpected since the vehicle does have 143,000 miles on it. The only other change I made to the vehicle was a radio upgrade, this was just based on personal preference and the want for Bluetooth connectivity. My Jeep has leather interior and heated seats and fits 5 people comfortably, but is usually used for myself only.

Gas also must be pumped manually because the rollover valve in the gas tank is clogged and the only way to fix it is to replace the fuel tank at my cost since jeep will not do anything..

Jeep patriot: boxy but reliable!
Overall the patriot is very “boxy” and not the most comfortable model. I prefer the Jeep compass or grand Cherokee. However the patriot is reliable and we put about 70k miles on it before having any real mechanical issues. Up until then it was mostly oil changes and maintenance.

The transmission on this car has lots of problems.
I love the look of it. And the amount of room. I hate the transmission and all the issues we have had with this vehicle.

Overheats super easy in the summer on the highway. Cannot go long distances.
The car constantly overheats in the summer on the highway. Cannot go past 50 mph in heat. Sturdy car has kept up since I was 16. Good first car for new drivers.

I would recommend this vehicle or and Jeep model.
The ride is great. Maintenance is simple. For this year of vehicle the only real problem I noticed is the tops not reading correctly anymore but that is expected. I just keep the tires in check myself because it is simple. Its pretty good on gas and performance if you keep up on the maintenance.

Common problem with the gas cap light being on due to a seal in fuel line.
Overall good SUV, size is small. Common problem with gas cap/engine light. Good on gas. Truck space is small. Not a good SUV size for family.

Freedom with a Jeep patriot.
I am older easy to get in nice seats it is comfortable. Like the way it handles and pickup for 4 cylinder. Bought used and have no problems. Looking forward to four wheel drive. Transmission is smooth changing gears with ease. The windshield is spacious and Luke the bigger mirrors. Does not seem to be and bad blind spots.

Make sure you do a lot of history on the car.
It is a great vehicle just not to long after we purchased the vehicle we began having transmission problems and it was under warranty and they fix the issue but after the warranty was up we began having the problems again and come to find out it was a recall on it all along but wasn't told it.

The Jeep 2008 named Shirley.
The motor stutters when it is stopped. I am not sure if it is with every patriot but mine does. I didn't have any other troubles with it. It is the perfect size for a mini SUV type car. I love the comfort in it and I like the simplicity of the make as well.
