My jeep patriot handles really well in the snow and rain. I can haul lumber, pets, and even children everywhere safely. The patriot has been very reliable, but I did have to replace the transmission at 100,000 miles. This vehicle has been well worth the money I spent on it in 2012.

My car is super cute & matches my personality. It is a smaller SUV but so comfy.
I have had issues with spark plugs and the engine quite a few times within the last few years but for the first 4-5 years my car was super reliable and great. My car is relatively stripped down so it has the basic radio set up with a CD player and an aux plug. It has cloth seats that are still pretty comfortable, the back seats 3 but is definitely more comfy with 2 back there. The acceleration is not the best - try not to pull out on anyone. The breaks have become squeaky and I previously had an issue with a tire sensor that was broken and lit up despite no issue with my tire pressure. Overall, my car has been very reliable for the past 7 years and I am hoping for at least 1-2 more years out of it.

I have hit curbs and poles and I have no dents on my car which is pretty stellar.
I love my jeep patriot. It is a very smooth ride and I feel safe when driving it. The gas mileage is great and the only time I have to bring it into the shop is for oil changes and the occasional recall by the dealer. It is a great size car with a good turning radius as well.

The glory of owning a jeep patriot.
My jeep patriot is the perfect, reliable car for a new teenage driver. My car specifically is manual, and it has a great spacious interior that features such as a touch screen Bluetooth radio that can also include Sirius XM and GPS navigation system.

Weather the storm. She does great in precipitation and inclement weather.
I love the shifting of gears. The box shape gives me plenty of leg and had room. Great gas mileage. Easy to drive. I really like the chrome trimmings and rims and also elbow room. This has definitely been my favorite vehicle out of all of the vehicles I have had.

Jeep patriot does the job.
The moonroof originally leaked. Had to take it back twice before it was fixed properly. Has been a good vehicle, dependable and pretty comfortable (I am of short stature). Always seems to be leaking water, but I have had it checked several times and they say there is nothing out of the ordinary. Good cargo space for my 80 pound dog.

Loud brakes & nice cup holders.
The brakes are really terrible. I have to get them fixed often; they always squeal. My windshield cleaner/deicer always empties really quickly. It drives nicely other than those things. It is really quiet other than the squealing brakes. The inside is nice & I like that the cup holders in the front light up. It makes it easier to pick up and set down drinks while driving.

Jeep patriot great for families.
It is a great SUV overall it needs to be bit more maneuverable oxford. I really love the space. I added a roof rack and now we can haul more. I like the interior upholstery and the seats. I plan to get a trailer eventually and a hitch installed. I also like the ground clearance and the color of the jeep.

on April 12, 2021
Even for It's faults it is still a good vehicle.
It is a basic model so no bells and whistles. It already had transmission overheating light turn on. A few inside plastic and chrome pieces need repaired or replaced. Already need to replace struts and mounts (I do not go off roading much if at all). Other than that it has been an ok vehicle.

Be wary of CVT transmission.
The CVT transmission on this vehicle has lots of issues. Mine overheats. Fluid and filters need to be changed every 30k miles. Its around $350.00 at the dealer to do so. Other than that, no real issues and I like my car. Not a big powerhouse but it gets me where I need to go.

A very good jeep liberty that you can depend on.
The performance of the car is great. It is very reliable and comfortable. No problem with my car. Gets me from point a to point be with no problems what so ever. This car will never leave you stranded. It fits 5 people very comfortable and its very spacious. I hope you enjoyed this review.
Rebecca B

I. Adore. The. Sunroof. Nothing better than opening it for air or the sun.
Repairs are extremely expensive due to the parts being standardized for jeeps only. $2000 dollars for all the struts and shocks, etc. It is rough in that sense but a beauty to drive (smooth) and the snow is never a problem with the four wheel drive. You will not even need snow tires with it.
Carson R

The cup holders light up when the headlights are on.
I love the look and interior of my car. However, my model comes with some problems including overheating and engine issues. My car is overall reliable except when it is been in the heat for too long or drives for a long period of time going over 50mph. As far as the look of my car goes, I love the look and comfort it brings for the price you pay. I also get good gas mileage.
Adam H

GREAT value for the price I had paid for it.
I love my Jeep Cherokee, if offers a great, and comfortable ride. Smooth as butter! But the only downside I have are the blind spots in the back.

My awesome jeep patriot and it is issues.
I love my jeep. It is capable both In Dry weather and cold weather. Does very well in the snow and rain. It is also great on gas. The only issue I have is the headlights and parking lights seem to have some kind of electrical issue that I haven't been able to figure out yet.
Sarina S
on March 16, 2021
The vehicle is more roomy than it looks on the outside.
I have had this vehicle for numerous and I have only had one problem so far. During long road trips a light comes on to check my tire pressure, however every time it was checked nothing was wrong with it. Eventually it'll turn off by itself and work normally. The mechanic said it could be a wiring issue in the car.
Grace C
on March 16, 2021
Great gas mileage. Roomy and easy to park.
It is a great vehicle. It drives a little loud. It has great gas mileage. There a lot of space for a small vehicle. Great option for college and high school students. It is tiny enough to fit in small parking stops but big enough to hold everything one will need.
Savana M
on March 4, 2021
Great size and easy to drive.
Bought it used so there are some mechanical issues, even though they can be fixed it is not ideal to have to come up with the cash for it. Otherwise I love the car. Super comfy and great interior. One issue is that my radio only works sometimes, but again I took that risk while buying a used vehicle.
Jess S
on February 28, 2021
Reliable vehicle - jeep patriot.
This vehicle has not had a large amount of issues throughout the 3 years we've owned it. The jeep is reliable and rides smoothly across all surfaces of travel. The jeep goes in for routine checks with our mechanic and is given scheduled oil changes.
Rebecca B
on February 28, 2021
Always broken jeep patriot.
It is 7 years old and everything is broken. I have spent almost $2500 in the last 6 months, and still need to spend about $1500 more to finish everything else with only 115,000 miles. I do not recommend a patriot, and hardly recommend a jeep. The cost of repair is far too high and it is ridiculous.
Vero M
on February 26, 2021
A little review of a little car.
A small car but fast car. It is a little tight in the back seat. Pretty roomy in the very back for groceries, sports equipment, and other things. It is very convenient on gas, does not take much to fill up the tank. For a small car it holds its own.
t M
on February 20, 2021
Jeep patriot is a good car. Reliable. They should make them again.
This vehicle has not ever given us a problem. Gets around great in snowy weather. We bought it new and it is still in great shape after 7 years of use. I do not know what else I can say about this car. It gets good gas mileage and we enjoy the comfort of it.
Shawna L

Can hold up in a car accident. Plenty of leg room and storage.
I love the i high up I was from the road and that it is not a super long suv. Easy to drive and park. Plant of storage
Hanna W
on February 14, 2021
All in all a great car for all ages.
I truly could drive my jeep for the rest of my driving days. I love the space, it is a happy medium between a car and a larger SUV. The only thing I really do not like about it is that the front passenger seat does not fold down, but for me I can easily overlook that. I love the size of the side mirrors. They're big enough I don't have to strain to see what's reflecting. I enjoy the seats, and the comfort they provide. The performance as a whole is great. The patriot is a little difficult to get up to speed, so if you are a lead foot, it may not be the car for you.
Chelsea S

It has a towing hitch package, a touch screen radio.
There are no problems it is a great car it is not to big but not to small. I absolutely love it. Also had great gas mileage.
Sean C
on February 8, 2021
I love how it handles in all weather conditions.
Overall, I absolutely love owning my jeep patriot. It handles well in all weather conditions including snow, and it has abundant safety features. It is fun to drive for road trips, because of the sample space that is provided. The back seats slide down for even more space if you need to haul something extremely large.
Steven C
on February 5, 2021
Jeep patriot all wheel drive/2 wheel drive.
I love the car because it is very reliable and really nice. I love how it is a jeep. It is very nice to drive. The only issue I have had with it is that the Catalytic converter went on it but it wasn't that expensive to replace. I want to keep driving jeeps after getting rid of this car because they are very reliable and I like SUV's.
Madison H

Jeep patriots are great. Stick shift needs to be learned.
Performances in jeep patriots is good as long as you know how to drive a stick shift. The reliability of a jeep patriot is on point. Steering is good, brakes are good, and the comfort of this vehicle is great. Some jeep patriots come with leather seats and some with cotton seats. The most comfortable type of seat for a jeep patriot would be cotton that way your bottom does not stick to the seat during the hot summer days.
Anita B
on January 27, 2021
Favorite vehicle I have owned!!
My jeep has been one of the best, most reliable vehicles I have ever owned. It is just the right size for both in town and long distance travel. It has never had one issue. Plenty of storage and leg room. I love this SUV and dread the day I have to trade it in.
Sarah B
on January 24, 2021
It is a reliable car with just the right amount of features that I need!
I like that the gas mileage is low for a small SUV. It is simple without crazy computerized electronics. I love my heated seats on the winter! And of course the 4 wheel drive feature.
Ronnie P
on January 22, 2021
My Patriot is one of a kind simply because it is a standard
The Jeep Patriot is a wonderful mid sized vehicle. Towing capacity is amazing considering the size of the vehicle. Gas mileage is decent and the ride of the vehicle seems as if you're floating. Some concerns that I have are that all the standard transmissions are of no power locks or power windows. The height of the vehicle was also something that I liked, felt bigger on the road
Kevin G
on January 6, 2021
I just bought the car yesterday.
I just bought the vehicle yesterday, but I enjoy the steering, the 4-wheel drive, the sensitivity of the breaks. I am really enjoying the room for my kids, my family, and my pets. I have not had any repairs because I literally just bought it. I am excited about it.

Jeep Patriot: Decent for size and money
Patriot is not great on gas, but is a convenient size and comfortable ride. Have experienced multiple odd defects, such as transmission garness wear. But have been repairable for reasonable cost.
Jerad P

Great vehicle that lasts forever.
Had some problems with radiator, but did not begin until ~180,000 mi. Had some small issues with electrical components, primarily windows. Very comfortable interior. Gas mileage not terrible. Smooth ride and good features, looks great—especially in green.

My vehicle is a 2013 Jeep patriot and I am absolutely in love with it.
I never really have had a problem with my 2013 Jeep patriot. I love this car, it is very reliable. The car itself look very elegant and classy. The car performs well and the comfort of the car is excellent. The features the car comes with are all exceptional and I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a new car to buy.
Ashley D
on December 5, 2020
Although I would change a couple things, overall I love my jeep.
I love my jeep. The things that I would change are; want power locks and windows, 4 wheel drive, different rims as the paint is chipping off. Overall it is performance has done really well. I have had it for 7 years now and I have not had any major mechanical problems. This is my first car and I feel like I made a really good choice to have this car as my first.

Total c**p Always Broken is a good title!!!
Basically a lemon, with out the ability to do anything about it. The Transmissions are the worst and run away screaming I have placed 4 used in this and nothing works. For better than 2 years now this vehicle has been in the shop and not on the road. .JEEP wants nearly 7K to install a new transmission. The BB on the car is half that! Anyone need a jeep?
Elizabeth R
on November 25, 2020
I loved the fact, that my Jeep had a slap stick to use in town.
I loved my Jeep. It was comfortable. It held the road very well. It had all the bells and whistles, that I needed. It had four wheel drive. Held the road well in the winter. I would buy another one. It had a very good radio and windows are all power and it had kid locks on the doors.
Jenna R

Jeep patriot, great investment and amazing car.
I love my vehicle! It is very reliable to get me where I need to go. It is great on gas I usually fill it after a week and a half. It is a safe car with lots of airbags. Everyone who usually gets in my car always loves it and says how cool the interior is. A jeep patriot is a great investment you'll love it.
Sheryl S

CD player. Fold down back seats. Light up cup holders.
Reliable vehicle. I do not have a lot of bells and whistles on it, in fact, it is got manual windows and locks. I do have a CD player, radio, and love the air conditioning! It is spacious and the back seats fold down which is very inconvenient. Love my jeep!
Sierra B

Great starter SUV for any individual.
The vehicle goes great in snow. Runs well. Never had any mechanical issues. I wish it were slightly larger and more car seat friendly. When I put a car seat in the back, typically the front seats cannot go even close to all the way back. I would definitely buy again, however the value has depreciated very quickly.
Wright W
on November 10, 2020
It drives smoothly and also has good gas mileage. The tent makes it cooler.
I love how smoothly it drives. I also love heated seats in the winter. When I am able to start my car before getting in, makes it satisfyingly warm already.

Transmission is unreliable.
Transmission is shotty. It makes a humming noise like it is being overworked. It does not happen all the time though. Secondly, in extreme heat and long distances it seems to overheat. I love the vehicle, but these are major problems that are hard to overlook.
Michael C

The Jeep Patriot, the handy compact jeep.
The Jeep Patriot is a very small yet spacious car. What I mean is that the outside would make you believe that the inside is cramped but that's not it at all. The car has a nice feature where I can connect my phone to the Bluetooth inside the car and play music or place cars, although it's a little hard to use. The car also has a nice feature of being able to turn on the engine from a distance using a button on the keys. It's very handy to start the engine when it's hot out and you want to get into an already air conditioned car. Besides all that, the car is very comfortable and it runs great. It's a weird hybrid between automatic and stick shift and that was weird to get used to but I got by. Be careful to not change your gear to something wrong, otherwise the car's engine has issues.
Molly G
on October 16, 2020
That it is heavy duty. 4 wheel drive.built tough. It has room to hall things and gets great gas mileage for an SUV.
I like that it is 4 wheel drive. I like that the heat and air work well,and it handles well on the road. It I equipped with Fog lights and they are very handy. I just wich my jeep was equipped with navigation and hands free bluetooth phone capability.
Carly L

It is a good car for a college student.
It is a very good car for a student but can be too simple at times. Manual windows and locks are annoying at times but also give a good feel to the car. Overall, I haven't had any big problems even on big road trips. It also has a lot of space especially with the seats down which is nice.
Meli V
on September 30, 2020
Love my 2013 jeep patriot.
Love the whole car in general. Has a lot of space in the back for my teenage kiddos. This car is also a great gas saver. Love the way it drives. This car is also dependable when going camping. Has enough space for all your things. Maybe even safe enough to teach my daughter to drive in it.
Jeffrey T

Mark E

Performance history and reliability.
Overall, I do enjoy my car. One thing that I really like is the space available in the car. Another characteristic of the car that I like is the fact that the CD player holds multiple CDs at once and also that there is an six chord. I do not like the gas mileage, how quickly the car runs out of gas, and how the trunk space is.
Hailey J
on September 26, 2020
My vehicle is very spacious.
My 2013 patriot jeep performs for me greatly. All my needs are past met and I wouldn't trade the car in for anything other than what I own. Being that I use my jeep daily for wherever I am going and have two cars it performs beyond amazing and I have had no doubts our worries about my car. In fact, I am thinking about buying a second jeep of the same exact model.
Robin C
on September 25, 2020
Jeeps is they have hidden 'easter eggs' and I recently found mine. A flashlight.
I love my jeep. It does go up hill a little slower than I was hoping it would, but it's not like you drop in speed, you just have to gun it a little and it goes with no issues. It is a very comfortable ride, I like that it is a bit higher off the ground. It drives and rides like a wrangler which is my goal car.
Katie S
on September 20, 2020
Fixing it up, the car of the future.
It is a reliable car. I think because I drive a lot I do have some problems with the engine. I have had to change the battery and I need to fix the converter. I want to upgrade my car inside and outside. I do want to make this car one of a kind. I do need to fix up this car.
Jack J
on September 20, 2020
Jeep patriot is a stable car.
My vehicle is a jeep and it has been a decent car for me for about five years. It can be slow as the acceleration is not great but it gets me where I need to go. It is comfortable for the most part and has been running fairly well. It has gotten me across the country and has not had any main issues so far.
Thomas R

Highlighted summarize of 2013 jeep.
We've had jeep patriot for 15+ years never had any major work that needed to be done spark plugs, oil, air filters, etc I could do myself tires are the only thing I needed to take in for my wife and I have been pleased with the two jeep’s we’ve had for 15+ years.
Heather S

Overall Jeep Patriot review
It is good on gas miles. Also fair priced compared to other SUV. I have owned for 4 years and bought used with no major problems. Downfall, if You are to get in an accident could be detrimental due to being on a frame. Also, if you like to perform your own work you cannot work on transmission. Must be brought to a shop due to being sealed.
Hannah R
on August 22, 2020
It is not safe. Save your money and spend it on a more reliable vehicle
My patriot has been a lemon and money hog from day 1. Was just on the shop for 14 months. Window/door has also caught on fire 3 years ago. Not safe!

Transmission issues
Transmission over heating light comes on when driving on interstate. Jeep you can't change transmission fluid or do any service for the transmission... Only can replace. Have googled this problem and it is a huge problem. Will never own another one. Jeep says it is a sealed transmission and a lifetime part... Well, I am the only owner .. So not a lifetime part. Very disappointed in jeep on this one.

Safe and reliable, gas saving jeep.
I recently purchased my jeep in July after I was in a car accident in my small car, that was totaled. I feel very safe driving my jeep with my children in the back. It drives smoothly and it gets amazing gas mileage. I have had no problems with the performance except I am not good at driving a manual in hill country, I am getting better but thankful I live in flat Texas. This vehicle does not have any 'bells or whistles' and that is really the only downfall. I really love my jeep patriot. The blinker does not click off after I turn and that is the only thing, and I can definitely manage that problem.
Gina M

My experience with a 2013 jeep patriot.
I think a lot of people classify jeeps as gas guzzlers but in my experience I have gotten decent gas mileage. I do a lot of driving living in the city, commuting to different jobs and auditions and in general have found my jeep to be very reliable. I inherited it from my grandpa about 3-4 years ago now. In that time I haven't had too many major issues. The airbag stopped working on the drivers side at the same time as the horn stopped working which was scary to drive with on the highway. Ultimately I eventually got this taken care of, otherwise just general maintenance like oil changes and a couple of turn signal bulbs etc.
Donna H
on July 17, 2020

Jeep patriot 2013 great 4-cylinder SUV.
I love the jeep patriot. It is reliable and comfortable with heated seats and heated mirrors. Very spacious and nice drive. Wish that the speakers in the vehicle were of higher quality as well as some of side paneling on the doors. Also I wish the radio was more modern in terms of its Bluetooth connection as it seems just very old school with difficult pairing process.
PAULA D
on July 12, 2020
Great car, good for urban life or taking it camping.
Loud inside, but it is a trusted car. Never any major problems. Fairly cheap to fix. Good car for the big city but also can take it out to country. It is the perfect small - big car! I can pack it up full to the brim with a bunch of stuff for camping or a music festival, but it is also a great car for commuting to and from work. Comfortable. But it definitely is a good starting car, not anything crazy.
J P
on July 7, 2020
This car has been in our family for years, it has not really caused us problems.
In terms of problems, have not encountered much the past few years other than the usual maintenance. However, the brake is not very smooth, you would need to push a little harder before it actually starts slowing down. I am not that tall, so height of the car gives me a better view of the road. It is also great to take to drive in movies or road trips because of the trunk space.

Jeep patriot: safe, reliable SUV, comfort ride for driver and passenger.
My jeep patriot is 7 years old and continues to perform well with normal maintenance. The 4 wheel drive lever is easy to reach and provides immediate traction for snow and ice conditions. Defogger and windshield wipers for both front and back windows quickly clear windows. Steering is sharp and parks smoothly. The jeep manual provides easy explanations for all symbols that appear on the dashboard are lit and easy to see. Audio system works well as do the settings for stations, time, etc. Heating and air-conditioning provides both front and back comfort. 5 person seating with fold down back seats to maximize rear cargo space. Reliable vehicle with excellent gas mileage.
James C
on June 29, 2020
It is the perfect size for anywhere driving.
The vehicle is a great size and can carry a lot of cargo. The engine is small but gets the job done. The brakes are the best I have ever had on a car. The car handles really well in all types of weather. It gets good gas mileage. It can go offroad on trails but not really rough conditions.
Jena B

Jeep Patriot: Great vehicle
The comfort is amazing, during the summer it drives extremely well. One of the problems I had is that is has a cvt for a transmission and I have already had to replace mine at 100, 000. Another thing I do not like is the way the vehicle handles in the snow. The 4WD lock does not seem to make a difference, I have gotten stuck in 3in of snow and the lock didn't seem to do anything. Brand new tires did not seem to help this issue. It is very spacious for being a smaller size SUV, the interior is nice I love the cloth heated seats.
Ryan V
on June 28, 2020
Not a winner. Pass on this one.
Honestly, it has not been extremely reliable. It has nearly 110k on it now. The transmission started giving me issues around 90k. The interior plastic is cheap and I have replaced a couple pieces. If I was in a position to buy another, I'd avoid it. I want to love the car but I just cannot.
Jeff S
on June 21, 2020
That is a Jeep and that it provides a safe and economical Driving Experience.
I like that it gets good gas mileage. I like that it has lot of storage space for a vehicle it's size. I am tall so it is a little tight fitting in behind the wheel but it does provide more than enough space. It is easy to drive around the city and provide excellent starting and stopping.
Brea H
on June 10, 2020
Jeep patriot a car for any adventure.
Some issues with the electrical in the windows but we had it fixed under the warranty. Aside from. That we've had no other major issues with the vehicle. Handles incredibly well in snow and bad weather and is great on gas mileage. We just replaced the factory battery this year so that was an impressive life span for a battery.
Jessica M
on June 10, 2020
A true diamond in the ruff.
I haven't had any true issues with the car aside from the normal everyday wear and tear. Maintenance such as oil change, spark plugs, o2 sensors, tires etc. I have read online that these vehicles do have an issue with transmission so I do make sure to keep an eye on it.
Bobby D

I love my Jeep, I've never had a problem while driving.
I love my Jeep. It is sleek, fashionable, and is very good. It has great gas mileage and I have never had a problem with anything while driving! It even has heated seats and mirrors. There is lots of space for groceries and kids and the trunk even has a cover for the back and seats can be moved very far back.
Sheryl B

Pro's and Con's of having a Jeep Patriot.
It has very comfortable seats with ability to heat seats, power windows, cruise control, issues the radio/CD doesn't work and haven't had the money to have it looked at. We just spent almost 2000 on repairing power steering and rack with pins according to repair tech it's normal wear and tear.
Molly A
on May 15, 2020
This vehicle has been incredibly unreliable personally. I was told when i purchased it that there was a larger engine than normal, but I recently had the car looked at and it's a normal sized engine. I've had two transmissions, a brake replacement, throttle body replacement, and still a constant high-pitched noise within the past 3 years. While it is a perfect size I have put a lot of money into it on just repairs.
There are definitely better and more reliable SUVs out there. I think people choose Jeep based on brand recognition, but cars like Toyota and Honda are way more reliable.
Mariana S
on May 11, 2020
It's more top heavy than it seems.
I love how big it feels while not being too heavy and easy to park. I think it beautiful and it makes me feel powerful. It's easy to use and understands and it drives very smoothly. As a young adult I love the look of the car.
Pamela C

Has phone charging capability.
It drives well and easy to handle. Has low gas usage. Is comfortable and storage space is good. A little bigger would be nice.
Anita S
on May 5, 2020
Great little runabout vehicle.
The jeep patriot is a nice little vehicle for long drives or just around town. It is compact, so it fits in well when parking is narrow. It has been maintenance free, except for routine oil changes. Switching from 2wd to 4wd is extremely easy. It is smaller on the inside, so space is a little limited,. But the back seats fold down, increasing the cargo space.
Ashley A
on April 18, 2020
One of the most interesting details of my car is that I have a cheetah lining.
The only problem that I ever have with my vehicle is the how sensitive my gas pedal can be but other than that nothing really. Jeep patriots are extremely reliable. I have had to blow up the tires many times and I have one thing that does not work and it is the wiring in my car, the lights and the locks do not work.

The cup holders in the front light up and the stereo is great.
I personally love my car. It has a great sound system, great on gas only 35 to fill. It looks beautiful on the outside and so comfy on the inside. Drives great and many little cup holders, or places to put your phone and a plus is the cup holders in the front light up.

Great mileage, inexpensive 4 wheel drive
We loved the mileage it got for the first several years. It has now developed a chug at 2100 rpm and gets 27 mpg instead of 31 mpg as before. We still like it though and would buy a new one if available. The 4 wheel drive is a valuable tool where we live. We don't go mud bogging, but it is great in the snow.

The patriot is not a good used SUV. It is really only good at off-roading.
In short, the patriot is not a good used SUV. It is really only good at off-roading

Remote start is included.
No problems beside normal wear and tear. Reliable for everyday commuting to and from work. Comfortable and spacious enough. Satellite and radio, as well as Bluetooth features.

Love my car, hate the screech.
I love my car. It is spacious for all of my guests. Great for transporting small furniture. Downside is that a year into having my car, it started screeching when I would reverse. I have had it looked at by many mechanics but it could never get resolved. I have had new brake pads, cleaned, etc. It still screeches when I reverse & now when I slow down & break.

It is an ok vehicle. I'd like to trade it in for something else
The back end makes a lot of noise. Creaking and horrible sounds. The radio stopped working at well. It was a very nice vehicle when we first got it but now the back end makes so much noise, it sounds like the back end is about to fall off. It also goes through brakes and rotors like crazy

Great gas mileage and nice ride all around.
It has great gas mileage. Roomy but not too big so it is perfect for traveling. Cool looking. It drives smooth, is quiet, and only basic maintenance primarily needed. Transmission had to be replaced 2nd year but nothing has gone wrong since. I would highly recommend this vehicle.

Love my Jeep Patriot! Lots of space in the back for hauling things!
I love my Jeep! It is a perfect height for me to easily get in and out of (especially since I have back issues). I love the heated seats and there is plenty of space in the back for hauling things. I have only had a couple very minimal service issues with my Jeep. Overall, itbis a great vehicle!

It is a great family vehicle.
I love the size. It is so much more roomier than when I had a 4-door car. I can haul more items and I feel so much more comfortable. I have no complaints at this time and we just passed over 80,000 miles.

The pros of a Jeep Patriot
No issues with the durability of the car. Though it is not a 4WD, I have never had an issue with getting where I need to go. The interior is easy to clean. The hatch is a decent size. The storage under the hatch flooring where the spare tire is has extra space for a hitch or jumper cables. The only thing I have had to add on is a hitch.

Reliable car, known Jeep construction issues however
My Jeep is reliable, gets good mileage, and is spacious. The turn radius is narrow, and the ground clearance is high, which is perfect for me because I enjoy taking Jeep trails and going off roading. The window trim came loose very early in the life of my vehicle however, and the vent/fan makes a clicking sound every time it kicks on, which is apparently a known Jeep issue due to poor manufacturing

All in one, amazing vehicle for storage, and easy commuter.
Recall notice, but service to repair is amazing. It is comfortable and provides a smooth ride. There a bunch of bells and whistles, from storage space, rider capacity, 4 wheel drive, and heated seats.

It holds up to Jeep expectations but isn't as roomy as other vehicles.
I have barely had any issues with this vehicle. I've owned it for 5 years and it is just now needing new small parts. The only thing I dislike about this car is the size. It is not as roomy as I'd like for being a mom with 2 kids.

Jeep patriot: great size and stability.
My jeep patriot is a very good, sturdy car. It is a great size and has room for up to 5 people. One problem I have had with my car is that the gas tank is very small, and I have to refill my car almost twice a week. It does not have a big engine either, which makes it dangerous to drive on the highway sometimes it feels.

A comfortable passenger vehicle with plenty of space and a few drawbacks.
This is definitely a passenger vehicle and I would never take it off-road. It gets poor gas mileage. It has multiple blind spots when pulling out at an intersection. It does have great stowage capacity which is why I actually bought it. I was able to slide a 66 inch long bureau into the back with the seats down and close the hatch! It has its good and bad points.

Great 4wd option for a family vehicle that still does great on gas options.
I like that it is 4 wheel drive and does ok in the snow/ice. I dislike that it is not a Wrangler but a Wrangler is not practical for my family right now. The extra storage in the back behind the back seat is nice as well.

Jeep Patriot: great family car!
I love how it runs, it is big enough to fit my children and dogs. We have taken on multiple trips and it does great! I also drive this vehicle 60 miles a day commuting to work and have never had an issue with reliability. I have had it for 2 years and cannot be more happy.

It's a two row SUV with a large trunk space that fits everything I need.
There are some problems with constantly needing the tires rotated, but other than that I love it! It's comfortable and the gas prices aren't awful. The car itself fits me really well as a person. I've had it for about 3 years and haven't had nearly as many problems as other people with different brands like Ford, Honda, or anything else.

Jeep is sturdy and good on mileage.
Jeep patriot has no problems at this time. I have over 120,000 miles, I just keep up with oil change mostly. Interior of vehicle needs some work, the seats are not the softest. The plastic under the seats break easily, the wipers could be better as well. The vehicle is sturdy and it is child friendly. The performance could be faster or is a great shape and provides room for a small family. The vehicle has expensive parts most of the time, a lot higher than going to mechanic.

Patriot does all the important things well.
Jeep patriot gets great mileage and has sufficient power with the manual transmission. It can ride five but might not have enough room for all of them to pack for an extended trip. The 4x4 mode is not super robust but is sufficient for most of the low traction stuff like snow and mud that your average weekend warriors will encounter.

Loving my 2013 jeep patriot limited
I purchased the jeep after reading bad reviews, but the truth is I have not encounter any major issue with my jeep patriot limited. Is spacious for the family I haul a trailer with 2 4 wheelers ... Love the leather seats. Also pretty economic in gas.
