I saw this Patriot and just assumed it was an automatic. I was so happy to see it was a manual. Basically that is all that saved it for me.

Zero Electronic issues so far. I am the 2nd owner of a 2014 jeep patriot "North" edition. however the fuse box located under the hood to the left of the driver position makes a sound that might sound like a serpetine belt but its not. Its actually the air compressor (aC) causing vibrations to the box that houses the fuses. When the car idles it squaks. I also noticed these are prone to a transmission leak especially on the CVT but why are Lines ran the way they are its silly.

We bought a 2014 Jeep Patriot Sport FWD new in November of 2013. It doesn't have the CVT, it has a 6-speed PowerTech automatic transmission with Auto Stick with the 2.4L engine. We now have 147,800 miles on it. I do all of the maint service on it and since new, so far I've replaced, the drivers side spindle assembly (bad bearing, the drivers side rear wheel bearing, the radiator and the filler neck in the top radiator hose. We live in North Georgia and for us it's been a great vehicle.

I dont normally watch these reviews, but my wifes gonna need a new vehicle soon, you can find these cheaper and in decent shape arpund here. I was wondering if they were much good. This video helped me with that, im always leery of anything cvt

Don’t get the CVT. 6 speed automatic combined with the 2.4 L engine (gasoline) is most reliable. I’ve seen a few with 350k kilometers

This has been my fav car to own. Had it since 2016, no CVT issues of course. Got the black out wheels and monthly payment that is done already was only $190. It's still rock solid and not sure what the electrical issues are this guy had. But had free touchscreen XM Hair Nation lol. I hear a few break squeaks on a cold morning, but never had to pay a dime for repairs and not sure what these people are doing to to mess up their ride.

That's great!

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

My sister used to have one of these & from what she told me about it; I'd have to agree with you! Now I want you to do a high miles review on my 2016 Toyota Carolla Sport with over 200,000 miles on it.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Its a toyota, it runs and the dash likely doesn't rattle, what more can you say 😅

[@00nutt]

The CVT transmission is horrible. We had 3 different ones for company cars. All three lost their transmissions at around that 150k mark. The replacement transmissions are no better!
