Although the 2016 Patriot has 4.3 on Vehicle History, owners report brakes and power steering problems.

The 2016 Patriot was recalled for a faulty crankshaft sensor that leads to engine stalls.

The first investigation pertains to a faulty airbag sensor that determines the deployment in a crash.

Another investigation concerns inflators that may degrade in humid conditions.

Owners report when power steering goes out, the SUV is difficult to maneuver.

There are also a lot of complaints about the brakes. Despite pressing the brake pedal, the car wouldn't stop even at low speeds.

According to reports, water leaks could appear even before putting 1,000 miles on the odometer.

Rubber tubes get clogged, causing water to collect in the pan and enter the cabin through dome lights or an A-pillar.

As in previous years, the 2016 Patriot has serious issues, making it fall short of its rivals.

2016 Subaru Foresters offer a more powerful powertrain and better fuel economy within the same price range.
