I think that my Pat is missing the North Badge.

I have a 2008 Pat, 4x2 FWD, base was $16,995 + options.
They Vehicle Purchase Agreement shows that I have 26E Customer Preferred Package, I am pretty sure that includes the North Edition Badge.
Am I mistaken?

Mine was delivered Oct 30th and was missing the North Badge. I went to the dealer and they checked the VIN and then ordered the badges for me. They came in a week and I now have them on. I do not remember the package number for the North Edition but with your VIN it can be easily checked.

Yes you should have two Patriot North Badges if it was purchased in Canada. Many who missed receiving the badges simply went back to their dealer and had them ordered free of charge. See details below:

What is different with the Patriots sold in Canada, that they get the "North Badge"...????

In Canada there are three levels of Patriot- Sport, North and Limited

In USA there are two - Sport and Limited.

We like to think we are special by having the North model- some cynics say that this is a meaningless thing= but we are proud of our North badges

Where can us "southerners" get a badge like this if it so behooves us? (My wife is French Canadian, don't tell anyone...)

The part number is 05113554AA.

The part number is 05113554AA.

Thank you for inforamtion and part number. Yesterday I picked up my Pat with 24E package option, and both badges where displayed on the front doors.
I had the part number handy just in case the badges were missing to have the dealer order them for me.
I was glad that was not the case.

This is a great forum; you can learn a lot.

Thanks guys!

So, is it just a badge designating it was sold in Canada?? I was thinking it might have had a engine block heater in it or some other option in it or something??

Anyway, I am closer to the border than you realize. About 120 miles or so. There are a lot of Canadian plated vehicles around here and sooner or later I will surely see one and wonder what it is all about.

The North Edition is Package 26E:

Customer Preferred Package 26E $ 2,600
Air Conditioning
Deep Tint Sunscreen Glass
Yes Essentials Cloth Bucket Seats
Rear 60/40 Split Recline Seat
Driver Height Adjuster Seat
Frt Pass Forward Fold Flat Seat
Passenger Assist Handles
Power Mirrors, Fold-Away
Keyless Entry
115V Auxiliary Power Outlet
Power Windows, Driver One-Touch
Speed Sensitive Power Locks
Illuminated Entry
Map/Dome Reading Lamps
Interior Removable/Rechargeable Lamp
Body Color Liftgate Applique
North Badge
YES Essentials(R) Seat Fabric

Also, the block heater was standard on my Pat, found the cord tucked away behind the fuse box.

I will call my dealership tomorrow and order the badge.

No not really. The Patriot North has a mix of features that place it between the Sport and the Limited. (i.e. it has many of the Limited features)

And yes, it has the special metal badge on each door !

In USA there are two - Sport and Limited.

hey 'charlimc'....whats "Scanguage"? you have it listed as a option on your 'North' model.

funny, you (Canadians) get a "North" badge on your 26E Packaged model and we get nothing....not even a 'Sport' badge. damned "North"erners....;)

Scanguage is not a factory option- It is a small computer that connects with the OBDII port on the Patriot and it displays data in real time such as Fuel consumption, horsepower , distance to empty etc etc. If you google on scanguage you can get the details- I find it a great thing since I do not have the EVIC option on my Patriot. It cost me about 160 and it took 5 minutes to hook up and configure- I placed it in the cubby hole just under the radio. You can even set the display colour to match the instrument panel

I have one of those and it is great. Anyway, I almost didn't buy it because I thought it was too expensive. But when I thought about it, you can put it in almost any vehicle, and it will also read and clear codes.

BTT........There should be a "South of the Border" badge too then. Now everybody elce will be jealous.......Oh, and I didn't know I was a "southerner" until now........:D

Just called the dealership and my badges are on order! They told me that they are $72 each! Luckily I am getting them for free.

In Saint John NB they told me last month that they sold for 68 each. Price must have gone up!

This is what found on the North Edition:

From - - - http://www.canadiandriver.com/testdrives/08patriot.htm

The Patriot North 4X2 ($19,595) adds a 'North' badge, air conditioning, stain-resistant YES Essentials seat fabric, dark-tint rear and rear-side windows, assist handles, power locks with keyless remote, power fold-away mirrors, power windows including driver's one-touch down window, removable and rechargeable flashlight, power mirrors, 115-volt power outlet, reclining 60/40 split folding rear seat, fold-flat front passenger seat, and driver's height-adjustable seat. The Patriot North 4X4, this week's test vehicle, starts at $21,595.

I live in Michigan and am getting my Pat in April... I never ever have a vehicle that looks like the rest... so i am adding the badges to mine when i get it... No dealers in the states can get them for me, so i found a dealer in Windsor that can get them from another dealer in Winnepeg... I work for a Tire store here and can get the parts from them at my cost.... 56.00 USD EA!

Just a short update... I went to the dealer last week and told them about the missing badges on my '08 North. They've ordered them form Chrysler and installed them at no charge. The part guy told me that the North edition should arrive to the dealer with the badges in the car, as if it would have to be installed by the dealer if requested by the buyer. The problem is that most of the time, Chrysler don't send the badges in the car...

Just be aware and ask 'em!

Later,

Lewis

Hey there kaushen79, did you get a 2.0L engine ... if you did you qualify for $1000 Canadian from the government.

I have the Patriot North 4x4 manual transmission and it made the list. I submitted in December, and received confirmation that they received my submission.....but no word back on when I get my cheque.

Ditto for me. Submitted in December and got my confirmation of documents received in early Feb. I called the number they listed, and they told me 12 weeks for the cheques to be "in the mail".

Update - called today and they said to call back if nothing received by March 18th.

is this north edition badge for 2008 north models only or for 2007 north's also,

got my pat north edition just over a week ago, no north badge. ill be calling the dealership. almost like they arent putting them on to save some money and only put them on request because i dont think i seen a badge on the other norths i seen in the lot.

Looks like I'm missing mine too. Oh well...just another loose end associated with this Chrysler product.
Do they all have that orange arrow? If so I may not worry about it, because I don't think it will look that good with the silver metallic paint of the body of the vehicle.
Do you think they malliciously left them off as a cost savings measure, and with the hopes that there are people out there stupid enough to pay $72 bucks for perhaps a 2 dollar item?

Hello agian -I have 2 questions and 1 comment:
que1-do badges come on each side can you get 2 for free or even 3 for free I would like to put one on the back as I dont have a 4x4 emblem
que2-my windows freeze shut 8 out of 10 days any remedy's for this maybe silcone spray?
Comment; Im averaging 23 mpg combined.diving since sept 2007.

If your VIN checks out as a North at the dealer, they will order 2 badges for you. if you want a 3rd it will cost (about $35) - not worth it!

Thanks charlimc-- I guess I will only get 2 then spend the other 35$ on gas-- Nice people from St John my friend is from Rossy(spelling?)
also---RE_POST-26-WINDOWS FREEZING SHUT ANY SOLUTIONS_PLEASE_THANKS>

That would be ROTHESAY- just a few kms from the city.

Thanks to this thread, I realized I was missing my North Badges also. Hit the dealership and they're on their way :)

Yeah they all have the orange arrows on them... works for me cause my pat is SBO. But the orange isn't that noticable, I think it would look nice on a silver Pat.

got mine today at the dealership

My North didn't come with them on either but I told me dealer and they had them in the next two weeks (this was back in November). My arrows are a nice red, not orange; at least as far as I can tell. I think it adds some definition to my white Patriot.

Okay really I thought I was going crazy!!! I was positive I had bought a patriot north edition but was very confused when I didn't have my badges. After joining this forum and reading this I now actually realize I was right! I am going to the dealer tomorrow and getting my badges...DAMN RIGHTS IM PROUD! haha lol:D

RE: Post #26 I live in Michigan and have had similar window freezing problems... Has anyone found a work-around for this? (besides moving to a warmer climate!!!) I've found that even a light frost causes the windows to seize. Prior cars I've driven have had strong enough window motors to break free of moderate frost - my Patriot windows seem to have trouble with even a light frost.

I have a 2008 North Edition too (26E) without the badges. I like it without them. The badges seemed out of place so I asked the dealer to remove them prior to deliver.

We contacted the dealership when this thread first appeared. Still no badges. Contacted again today and were assured they would be here by the middle of the month... I don't think I'll hold my breath.

When dealerships order parts it literally only takes 1/2 a business day to get them parts. Trust me I know. I've worked in the parts department of both Honda and Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler dealerships about 5 years ago. I still have good friends working at dealerships and nothing has changed. This is obviously excluding those dealerships in the outskirts. Maximum delivery time for those dealerships is 2-3 business days tops.

So Robot_Boy I'd ask for a order confirmation # if I were you. Oh and if you really want them to get the ball rolling, tell them you will be getting your next scheduled service when the part gets in. LOL, that one always works!

I agree with Jeelo. As a dealer, I am not sure where they are getting the Pats with the north package, but no emblems. They should be shipped that way from the factory. After selling them ever since they rolled on to the lot, I have never seen a north package without a badge....Odd! Either way, unless you live in a far flung region of the north, you should recieve the badges within a couple of days

Can someone please clarify this for me?

early last week I took my patriot in for its first oil change and requested to have the north edition badges put on.

They checked the vin and ordered 1 badge and put it on the passenger door the next day.

I called them back to say that they forgot to put the 2nd badge on the driver side and the dealership in Mississauga commented that the north edition only gets 1 badge and if I want another badge put on the driver side, I would need to pay for it.

Is there any documentation that can be referred to saying that there are 2 north edition badges? to me its only common sense to have matching badges on both sides.

thanks!

I'm pretty sure its both. Call the Customer Service Line that's your best bet.

Call 800.465.2001 (9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday thru Friday).

It took forever but we finally got our badges (on both doors). Strangely, it only took a couple of days after the last email...

Don't want to cause an international incident but how about a "Yankee Badge" for you guys south of the Great Lakes and north of the Mason-Dixon Line and a Reb one for those below!? Then everyone should be happy.

Not sure they will do that, but do not feel bad. After all it is called a "Patriot".

They only come with one badge, that is usually put on the Drivers door. It is the same with the trail rated badge. One badge only. This is the way that jeep badges their SUVS. It is the same with the Wranglers, Grand Cherokees and Commanders.
Kinda Sux, eh?

i got 2 badges for nothing

Only the trail rated badge comes on the driver side.

The North badge is supposed to come on both doors. The trail rated badge is actually located on the front driver side 1/4 panel while the "North" badges are mounted on both front doors.

I know this for sure because I live 30 seconds away from a dealership and see them all the time. As well, when I bought mine I requested for them to take both off.

Sorry, My Bad!!! It is the trail rated badge that comes with only one.

Maybe we can get some "South" edition badges made up for us U.S. owners...have them made just like a North badge except the compass point can point down instead! :D
