Heard about the Chinese maybe buying FCA a while back.
If that happens, that would be the end of my buying new Chrysler vehicles also.
I'll buy from American assembled Auto Companies even though most of the parts are made in foreign countries.
What the hell is going on in this country?
It used to be we supplied most of the world with vehicles and now we've got foreign companies on U.S. soil with American labor and also assembled abroad producing vehicles with their profits going back to their countries.
And in some cases back to anti-American countries to boost their military.
Oh, i see U.S. jobs! We had plenty of jobs until the 'out sourcing' frenzy the last few decades.
All this reminds me of this quote:

I don’t see production leaving the US. There’s a reason that Japanese companies like Toyota built production plants(local to my state) for the Corolla and the Highlander. Cost to much to import them from over seas.

Nope not for the 2010 I already tried.
Did you mention this to JeepCares? They've been pretty helpful for others on this site. Maybe send a PM on this website. If the work was done at a FCA dealer they may be able to work something out.
Some years ago I had my e-brake fail causing our '94 Wrangler to roll into the bushes. I paid to get it fixed at a local station and later it was recalled for that problem. Chrysler reimbursed me for what I'd spent a year or two earlier at a non-Chrysler shop.
I did not have the same luck with GM on the infamous Saturn ignition switch.
Strange, and disappointing, too. Seems if they cover older vehicles with a rust problem they'd certainly stand behind a newer one with the same problem.

Hi lkaras1,
As stated in our PM conversation unfortunately since your vehicle was manufactured in Canada we are not able to offer further assistance. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes and would recommend reaching out to the phone number I provided in my last private message.

I believe Canadian Patriot owners received letters from FCA Canada re bringing the vehicle into a dealer to have the front and rear subframes inspected for rust, and if excessive rust was found, it would be repaired. I have a 2009 Pat and got the letter early in the new year. I took it in to the dealer and they said it was OK, no doubt because I have had the vehicle Rust Checked each year. I think they will also inspect yearly out to 2019. Just call FCA Canada with your VIN.
Thanks cargy2003! That's much more what I expected. Seems Canada must get more road salt than us south of the 45th //. Glad they're standing behind them. I hope lkarus1 reads that.
A vast number of the parts on a Partiot are from China. So you pretty much have a Chinese Jeep already. Assembling in NA with Chinese parts allows Chrysler to claim it's a North American built car but if the parts mostly come from China...
My gearbox is standard and when I took it to my transmission shop to have the fluid changed I was informed about the Chinese components in the drive line. Also, the clutch disc springs are PLASTIC in a Patriot clutch. They've repalced quite few. Also, the synchro gears are not very robust. If you continually _push_ the shifter into first gear when there is resistance going in and you force it to go in you will be visiting a tranny shop sooner than later. They warned me about this as well...

Arsegon, check your build sheet/window sticker. 77% or 78% American parts. The engine comes from Michigan. The transmissions come from Mexico, or maybe China for the manual, probably Japan for the unnecessary conventional.

The Patriot was actually ranked in the 15 "most American" vehicles during its production: https://www.cheatsheet.com/automobiles/the-15-most-american-automobiles-of-2014.html/?a=viewall
My 2014 excellent, superb, reliable 6 speed Hyundai Powertech tranny came from Korea. At some point, production of the 6 speed moved to a brand new plant in Georgia: US Factory | Hyundai Powertech

Seriously, you're buying from a country that threatens our own on a daily basis, and still holds the USS Pueblo hostage?
There is a world of difference between North Korea and South Korea.

There's also ways to give another person some flak. He said Korea....didn't specify which.
Flak? It appeared to me that you weren't differentiating between North and South Korea. Are Hyundai transmissions made in North Korea? Treegrower said they were a Korean company that was manufacturing in Georgia. Neither South Korea nor Georgia 'threaten [anybody] on a daily basis' nor do they hold USS Pueblo. I've been to Georgia and a friend recently traveled to South Korea. All reports are favorable.There's also ways to give another person some flak. He said Korea....didn't specify which.

Nah, I know they're different countries. Hard not to, with "Rocketman" stealing Shatner's nickname and getting his name all over the news. Apparently the trans came from, umm, that peninsula.... ....before they moved production to Georgia. Been to Georgia myself, and I hear South Korea's ok, but it's still fun to troll, until somebody comes along and doesn't realize I'm trolling, haha.

Well, knowing that you hail from the (very) general vicinity of Muskegon, I tend to give you the benefit of the doubt regarding matters of knowledge. :smile2:
Ignatz, I suggest you do the same also. Here's a snippet of the "outdoors people" that congregate in that area:
Emergency Crews Rescue Missing Tubers in Muskegon River....
"They said they were told the river went in a circle, and they would end up back where they started" (for real). They also insisted that it was the CVT transmission in their canoe that caused much of the problem.
