    I'm actually a Jeep Compass MK49 owner. Since the Jeep Compass Forum is now focusing on the MP, I had to come to the Patriot Forum for help. The FDII Compass/Patriot is not actually sold in my country. I drove the FDI MK49 for a long time and was satisfied with most aspects of the car, but the...

    I have an 2011 Jeep Patriot that has 210,000 miles with the original CVT. Not for sure how it has made it this far but here we are. In a really short period of time my vehicle makes a whining noise, pretty much anytime. It even makes this noise when in park or neutral. I'm not sure how the...

    My sister has a problem with her recently purchased 2012 Patriot Latitude 4 cylinder AWD. This last week it started and traveled a short distance, but lost power, and stopped moving. When she restarts the vehicle it makes an awful loud noise from the rear of the vehicle. It whines at first...

    2016 Jeep patriot 2.0 fwd. That CVT trans is junk. I have already pulled the trans out. Would a 6 speeds auto be plug and play? I’ve seen other posts about swaps but those were 4x4. Any help appreciated.

    2014 Jeep Patriot 2.0L CVT Sport I live in Utah where most of our highways are 70-80 mph and there are common changes in elevation. My patriot has a big issue keeping steady at these higher speeds. Even at 65 mph I can go from 3000rpm on a flat to 6000+ rpm at a 5% grade it feels very...

    Hey Guys, My patriot is doing great, but sometimes the wear of the transmission shows as it jolts back and fourth when accelerating especially uphill. I’m just about to change the both CVT filters to help slow the aging, and was told that some trans mechanics use thicker oils to help make up...

This car is my daily commuter (150 miles round trip) and unfortunately coming to the end of its life. 233k miles and severe rot on the rear subframe. But I need it on the road for a bit longer to get another car. I’m trying to go through...

    I have a CVT in my patriot and want to install a temp gauge without a T-Fitting since it will be more accurate coming from the transmission itself. I can not seem to find the test port on the transmission anywhere... does anyone know where it is located?

    Hey everyone! I'm new here and purchased a used 2010 Jeep Patriot back in January of this year. I believe it had about 98k miles when I bought it. It's at 104k now. Anyways, this thing was running beautifully up until a couple weeks ago when it started to make a weird knocking/ticking sound...

    I have 2016 FWD CVT Pat and today as I was coming back home, it started to seem like it was braking on its own at highway speeds. As I slowed down it continued the same, the temperature is normal not over heating or anything... I got home and tried to use the autostick and 1st gear was hesitant...

    Hello, i recently bought a 2014 Patriot and im trying to figure out what transmission i have. Ive been working under the assumption that i have a CVT because as far as i can tell it is bottom of the line no bells or whistles. Front wheel drive, crank windows, 2.0L engine. Also doing a VIN lookup...

    Gents: Have a 2012 Jeep Patriot Limited 4x4 Limited (salvage) with only 49K miles and a CVT problem. Out of a blue, while on a highway, the transmission did not react to the engine, so luckily I was with no much traffic and managed to park aside an later had it towed home. OBDII indicated both...
