Hi All, I just got back from London at the weekend and noticed the clutch slipping on my 1 year old Patriot when I accelerate mainly in 5th gear! I took it back to the dealer, by this time the clutch was smoking. I have just had my Christmas Present from Jeep, £1700.00 (that's Pounds not Dollars!) for a New Clutch Oh! and I'm not covered by warranty as I have done 26,000 miles and the vehicle "Is Not Covered Due To Its Age!" I have never been Off Roading in it and have never had clutch problems in cars / 4x4's previously, I used to drive 50,000 miles per year, and have clocked up many miles without a replacement clutch ever! Looking on here it appears this is a common fault with the Patriot. Don't get me wrong I drove this out of the garage brand new and have loved every mile i have driven it, but come on Jeep, 26K and clutch failing? Many failing at 6K! Surly there is a problem here! Would be interested to hear if anyone else is having similar problems in the UK.

I also have a 2010 Patriot and the clutch is working fine but when I let out the pedal in neutral I am getting a noise that sounds like a dry bearing from under the floor. Has anyone else experienced this? I am scared to take it in in case I'm also in for a £1700 bill!! Any ideas or advise would be appreciated. BT.
