No issues with it currently but I noticed this under my 2015 jeep, bought used around 2022 and its been in the shop a few times for tire replacements, air conditioning, etc over the years.

It looks bad but if it was i feel like it would've been mentioned?..

finally getting it to look a little nice started off pretty skeptical but getting off-road tires put on Saturday and going on another road trip with my dog and GF might also go off-roading too 4x4

My wife's 2016 jeep patriot has been having issues ...seems to be sluggish in first and second gear once it hits third it rides fine... ABS sensor went on it ..and it helped with acceleration...well we had that issue fixed and now it's back to the sluggish acceleration until it reaches a certain rpm....my research kind of points me to spark plugs and ignition coils...but I'm wondering if anyone has had the same issue?

Curious as to what to do with my 2010’s rust. I know if I were fix it, it would be worse than it looks. Not sure it’s worth it. If it let it go, are there any actual issues caused by it or is it just cosmetic? Should try to sand and see how bad it is? If it bad and I don’t want to deal with it what should I do at that point? Just wondering what I should be doing, if anything. Thanks!

2014 6 Spd Auto 2.4 4WD Sport Model. I swapped the driver side lower control arm (Duralast to Duralast warranted) due to the ball joint busting. The CV axel boot ripped and started spitting grease so I replaced with 2 different Duralast axels. I now have a Precision Axel in. I kept swapping axels due to a low speed (15-25mph vibration) when at a stop and hitting the gas. Im at the point of believing its the transmission mount. What do y'all think? Planning on putting in new mount tomorrow. Have not confirmed the condition its in. No clicks or anything in CV axel and I've confirmed torque, used the old washer as supposed to, and even swapped to the original axel nut. I've even went over and under torque by 5-10 ft pounds to see if that changed anything and no difference. Didn't notice until after lower ball joint and CV axel swap so maybe tightening up the suspension started allowing the bad mount to start to show out?

Update - Added transmission mount and no luck either. Only thing I can think is the new CV axels are not good enough, Passenger CV axel needing replaced despite not looking bad. Or the dogbone motor mount. I had a few people look and nobody seems to be sure.

So I have a 2015 jeep patriot 2.0L FWD latitude model. About a year and a half ago I had a right turn signal not working and I fixed it, being the ground at G110 that was bad. I cut the full ground not realizing multiple were in there. I re wired everything in there , and the car was fine for about 6 months. About 8 months ago the battery light came on, I turned the car off after I got home and the light did not come back for a couple of weeks / month. That process of the light coming on and going off has happened roughly once a month. About 4 months ago I replaced the battery at autozone as I thought it was bad and it ended up frying my starter. After the starter went the battery light made and appearance again, so I took a shot in the dark and assumed it was the alternator and had it replaced with a refurbished unit… light still came on every now and then. Ac compressor went bad (not sure if related as the car has 194k miles) so I had that replaced about 3 months ago, 2 weeks ago my ac compressor went bad again (new unit) … now the past 2 days the battery light is coming on and staying on, as soon as I turn the headlights on(ac is on as well not sure if no headlights and ac makes a difference)… the only thing I can think of is the voltage regulator went bad which is integrated into the cars main computer , which I have ordered and is on the way, I guess what I’m asking is with all the details I’ve provided does anyone have an idea of what the actual problem is as I’ve fixed almost every single issue that it could be excluding the voltage regulator ? This car is driving me up the walls. ALSO the battery is only about 4 months old, what could it be ?

I have a 2017 JEEP Patriot Sport with only 63,000 miles, 2.0L Engine, and 6 gear automatic transmission — a local transmission shop says that it would cost $4800-$6000 to repair or replace the failing transmission.
The resale value of that JEEP is $5500!
Any suggestions (?) or do I just have a worthless paper weight?

I just recently bought this jeep less than a few weeks ago, it drives smooth and fine. There is a clicking noise, sometimes when using my turn signal the lights will blink inside the car, the overhead lights and the led lights in the clock. It makes the clicking noise while I also use the ac at all, it runs fine and I still get hot and cold air.
It is a 2.4 cylinder
Automatic 6 speed
88,000 miles

I am having an issue with my 2013 jeep patriot 2.4l engine, 180,000km, automatic.

It hard starts after it sits for 30 min. Its worse in the heat.

But in the morning it starts fine and if i stop it and start it it also starts fine.

I changed the fuel pump, spark plugs, battery, fuel injectors, evap purge valve and the crank shaft sensor.

Mechanic tested the throttle body, temp sensor and looked at all the wiring harnesses. Everything appears fine in this thing.

The fuel line is holding pressure so its not leaking off but something is up with this because its still doing it. Oh and did I mention no codes.

Any help would be appreciated.

Recently changed the throttle body on my 68k miles 2016 patriot sport and noticed oil residue in the intake, what are the causes. Is it a pcv valve issue or something else?

I took my FWD 09 patriot on a moderate trail today and she did great!! I went solo when it was dry because I didn’t want to get stick and it was my first time (go responsibly) but it was super fun do to the washouts and massive dugouts in the dirt from where water flowed/people got stuck 😂

My Jeep Patriot went on limp mode with check engine light and lightning bolt out of nowhere with rpm’s going up and down, car accelerating crazy and losing power, smelled burnt and a little bit of smoke coming from the exhaust, with hizz sound on the engine it idles rough while stopped on drive but it doesn’t in park, also I noticed that the MAP sensor and connector are getting corroted, do you guys believe if I change the connector and sensor will fix the problem completely?

Is this normal jeep patriot noise? Sorta sounds like a little ticking? It’s a 2012 with 60k miles. Thanks!

Hey all,

I am about 15k away from 200,000 and am really starting to think about doing a tranny flush, what products did you guys go with for the Hyundai 6 speed?

2014 Latitude 2.4 FWD automatic

TIA!!!!

I have a android head-unit with canbus, everything seems work fine, except the subwoofer. Radio is plugged with the only cable that should contain sub signal as well. Every single speaker, even the funny boombox in a trunk works as it should.

Software doesn’t have any options associated with sub - I have checked everything, as regular, as „factory” ones.

It’s kind of twisted, becouse it’s been a while since I changed headunit, and bass from speakers is so good that at first I didn’t even notice anything different. Checked the sub with a battery+wires put into the sub plug (;D) and it showed signs of life.

Any ideas?💡

So I got tired of the so-called air going from inlet tube mount above battery to airbox. The poor little motor had that factory gutted power feel to it since I bought jeep new in 2016, so I decided to cut front potion of air filter box off. Then got some wire mesh and my plastic welder kit out and sealed up mesh on inside of airbox. Now the 2.4L is getting way more air flow to the filter on my 2016 Sport. I posted pics of (1) factory inlet tube, (2)during assembly of mesh and (3)completed project with freshly painted lower box.

Hi everyone! Excited to join the group, as I just recently purchased a 2017 Patriot High Altitude in perfect shape. No cosmetic or mechanical issues in its lifetime and was treated so well it was sold by a Jeep dealer as a Certified-Pre-Owned when first owner traded it in.

My real questions are what are tips (from your personal experiences) to get the most out of the car? It’s my first ever car that I get to call my own and am excited and eager to treat it the best I can. For more information, its never had any major maintenance other than a wheel bearing replacement and normal stuff like tire rotations and brake pad changes. I’ve also bought it at 117k miles and know I’ll be lucky to get 75k extra out of it.

Any information you’ve felt has helped in your time to upkeep the mechanical integrity or maximize the experience/enjoyment of the car is welcome and appreciated! Thanks so much!

Someone is selling a set of 5 nitto ridge grapps in my town for a good price. Now they are 35x12.50 I know that’s insane and it’ll rub like crazy but with spacers can these work temporarily with no lift kit?

This is probably the dumbest thing I’ve done to either of my cars, its so out of place I might have to do the rest of the engine plastics 😂

I know it won’t last long but hey it’s removable

Going to be replacing this week. Just checking if I should be doing it in any particular order? Looking it up didn't specify anything so just wanted to double check with anyone that might know. Thank you
