  1. Jeep Patriot General Discussion
    Getting ready to sell a '10 Patriot in a state that will fail inspections for rust. Last time I took it in for service, tech said there were rusty areas on the crossmembers. There's a Ziebart's nearby, just wondering what is the bare minimum rust treatment/repair/coverup I should be doing to...

    So, I bought a used Jeep Patriot 2007 AWD with CVT transmission four months back. Got it real cheap and was expecting issues with it. The engine and transmission is going good so far and I put 7000 kms without any issues. But there was one issue with the body. It had been rusted quite bad at few...

  4. Interior
    Hi all. This is my very first post here. Actually my very first post on any car related forum. Anyway, I have a one month old 2016 Jeep Patriot and found something very disturbing under the dash this morning as I looked for where the OBD port was. I found what seems to be fairly substantial...

    Hi, I noticed above my passenger side rear wheel well the red paint was bubbling... Now a bubble has been chipped off ( the paint came off ) and there is a little spot of rust. There is more bubbling along the wheel well too that is cracked.. How much would it cost to get this fixed? Not only...
  6. Newbie Check-In
    Hi, I bought a used Jeep Patriot Limited 2007. Want new rear control arms and rear struts (not broken, just has a little rust... I want new parts). Springs were already replaced by previous owner. But I want to replaced some stuff in the rear. Where do you order your suspension from online...
  7. Jeep Patriot General Discussion
    So last fall I took a look at my wheel hubs and noticed slight rust. About a month ago I got the stuff to clean it and take care of it, but never got around to it until today. I was pleased to see the rust hadn't really gotten much worse since I last checked it. To clean it, I used WD40 and a...
  8. Jeep Patriot General Discussion
    Looking through the Jeep, I noticed a lot of Rust, which seems premature. As is pretty common, I also have the rust issues on the inner door hinges, but I was a bit shocked when I saw this. The first picture is of a bracket, right behind the engine cover. The top of the hinge is already...

    Not to happy when I noticed this.... An area about the size of a quarter, near my front driver turn signal is already rusting from inside. I can't see what caused this: there is no pit that I can see, and from underneath, the area's protected from stones by the plastic wheel well. Paint's...
  10. Suspension and Tires
    I was one of the first to join here back in '07 when I got my new Patriot. I loved it, but the years haven't been so good to her, even though well cared for.... This week I had over $1200.00 in front end work... Suspension, ball joints, etc. I was told they see a lot of this on Patriots. Never...
  11. Exterior
    Anybody has rusting issues so far? Mine doesn't, it is only 3 months old but it is one of my main worry considering having my Patriot for as long as possible. What do you guys think about the Patriot rusting?
