I'm currently at 129,000 miles on my 2014 Jeep Patriot with a 2.4 l and 6-speed automatic transmission. I bought this vehicle new and I am the original owner. The only thing that I've done to it is: regular maintenance and replace the front control arms (not that I think I needed it but Pennsylvania does a vehicle safety inspection and they try to nickel and dime you). And I chose to replace the rear struts at around 100,000 miles but they didn't particularly need it. I paid $24,000 for this vehicle out the door. 8 years later I really can't complain.
I have a 2015 Patriot Sport 4x4. Just hit 50,000 kms (31,000 miles) and no serious issues. The heat stopped working when it was 2 years old (fixed under warranty) and sometimes the air flow gets stuck blowing from top of the dash (even if I change it to dash vents or feet it wont budge for days). It sucks on gas but other than that I love it. Looks better than any other small SUV on the roads that all look like bubble alien ships
Thanks for your review. Your review caught my attention because of the milage. I have a 2008 Jeep Patriot North 4x2 4.2L 5spd manual (CAN) with a little more milage than yours (136K), power everything, tinted windows. I got it quite inexpensive requiring some work on the front end suspension, brakes and transmission. It's peppy. It's great on a two or three hour straight highway drive. Super comfy..
Thanks I got one, I like how you described the dashboard making it feel like we have more space. Great video , practical video and it's great seeing how honest the review sounds, natural ..
They're pretty nice budget-level SUV's. The Limited/High Altitude models have pretty much everything aside from the better sound system (but the 4 door speakers are all 6X9s and easy to replace with whatever you want, and the door speaker grilles pry right off without having to remove the door panels). I am considering one for my next vehicle (I currently drive an '02 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4X4, and still want to stay within the Jeep family). BTW, that Deep Cherry Red Crystal Pearl paint is the same paint on my dad's '14 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4X4. It's a stunning color, much better than the Velvet Red Crystal Pearl paint that replaced it. I do think the seat centers in the Patriot Limiteds ARE real leather, but ONLY the inserts, as the rest of the seats are vinyl-trimmed.
The 2wd Jeeps never recieved the backup cmaera throguhabout 2014. But, the rest of the Chrysler Group's Recieved a backup camera federallymandated about 2011.
My first car was a 2012 patriot SPORT meaning no electronics besides AC. I got the classic feeling of cranked windows and manually locking doors. It was my pride and joy until I got my 2013 Nissan Rogue which I still have and it was an upgrade for sure
I have 3 classmates who went to Penn state with me who have jeeps. One of them used to have a grand Cherokee 4x4 from the 2nd gen and got rid of it for a 1st gen compass 4x4 earlier this year after it had a lot of problems. The other classmates have a 2 door wrangler and a Cherokee trail hawk edition with the 3.2 engine with 4x4 because of winter weather. #jeepfans
The fear about owning an 'ex rental' are often times overblown. I've seen ex rentals which had a better life in their first 25k miles of life than they had in 'private owners' hands in the rest of their 75k miles of their life.
Nice review although the seat heaters and satellite radio are not limited exclusive, the latitude/North (Canada models) have those options as well. Nice patriot! I have a 2011 North edition and I love it.
Of the CVT has not been replaces by now, you have witnessed a miracle. I had a 2008 and the cvt was changed at 50K and at 130 K the over temperature light would come on. I have a Grand Cherokee now. Much better engineered vehicle all the way around.
After having my 1997 Ford Explorer for 27 years the transmission has gone out after 188,000 miles. So me and my Mom and Dad are going vehicle shopping and at my local CarMax they have a 2015 Jeep Patriot Sport for $15,000 dollars and has 43,000 miles on it. So we are looking at this and thinking about buying it. Just want to know what your thoughts about getting this vehicle. It seems like a good vehicle to own.
Is a 2012 sport Patriot better than the limited its four-by-four I just got it it's red looks just like the one you have what are the common problems with it will it last cuz we all want no problems long-lasting we all want no problems long-lasting is it pull the transmission okay
I was considering buying a used 2012 Patriot for $6500 with 119k miles. Do you think this is a good choice on a budget? The used car market is insane right now and this is the best deal I’ve found.
@@ThinkOutsideTheCube The 4Runner Limited looks like the one that belongs to Brooks’s family. My dad was considering a newer 4 runner 4x4 to replace his Honda CR-V ex-l in the future, but he is thinking about a newer Subaru Outback instead because it’s fuel efficient and cheaper.
@@Daconthocon78 He should shop carefully because a 4runner is a much different vehicle than those other two. It's great off road but with compromises on paved roads.
How the hell is the crankshaft sensor not major??? When it's going the car looses power and won't start for a an unknown time. The steering wheel locks up when this happens and this happens randomly. Happend to me going 50 mph...not safe and would never buy another!
@@oshynclair7592 If the vehicle has like 20-30k and if your loan isn't too long or if you are buying it out right yes. My sensor went out at 50-53,000 so idk. This car got the job done with minimal 300-400 mile trips for 5 years. Overall I only had that one problem in 45k miles. I'd say buy if the miles is right
I bought a 2016 Sport FWD CVT in 2018, with 37k miles on it. It was a rental car before I bought it. It's got 108k now and it's been an extremely reliable car. Only thing worth mentioning is I had a slight engine oil leak at around 85k, but nothing that made the car not drivable. Just make sure to follow the maintenence schedule in your owners handbook. If you have a CVT, get the fluid changed at 60k intervals instead of the 120k the manual recommends, it's definitely the weak link. I bought mine Certified Pre- owned and that came with its own warranty, but I was able to buy a lifetime powertain plan for an extra $800 or so which is avaliable to buy up until a certain mileage, I think 70k. Definitely worth it because if the CVT goes out, that's a 3-6k fix/replacement.
@@oshynclair7592 assuming you know something about something isn’t always a great comment to make! What’s in that HVAC box you guessed it condensate from the AC. Drain is most likely plugged simpleton!
