  1. Engine and Drivetrain
    I was on my way home on Sunday afternoon and my jeep started shaking like crazy. Check Engine Light illuminated. The shake wasn't just coming from the seat, or the steering wheel or anything. I immediately thought about pulling over, but before I did, while I was at a stop light I put it in park...

    Hey everyone! I’m attempting to switch out my spark plugs myself to save myself the $429 my dealership wants to charge me. Was hoping I could get some advice/dos and donts before I start my wannabe mechanic journey. All I have is a YouTube video to help me but guy gave good details. And also...

    Hi! New here — was trying to change my spark plugs, but when I went to remove the spark plug the socket got stuck on the plug. I’m using a standard spark plug socket with a 10 in extension. When I try and remove it, the extension releases from the socket and the socket stays stuck. Any...

    I have a 2016 Patriot and got the throttle body replaced about 3 years ago after my car suddenly started jolting and shutting off after coming to a stop. About 2 years ago I had the spark plugs replaced due to the Jeep not accelerating after reaching about 25-30 mph. Earlier this year, I noticed...

    I am so hoping someone can help me, been having that infamous misfire/jerk/ thing going on, well this evening it lost power on my drive home, I couldn't go above 2k rpm, and it was sputtering out the tail pipe, didn't over heat, rpm weren't jumping. Is it that Cadillac converter, or spark plug...

    I have a 2018 Patriot with manual trans that has done me well this last year and a half and she has 26k miles. In the last week and a half i have noticed a hesitation in acceleration while in 2nd 3rd and 4th gear. I've noticed it happens more during uphill acceleration. From what I've looked up...

    2014 patriot 4x4 latitude 6 speed auto- 80,000 miles. At speeds around 35-50 mph I'm getting rough shifts. It happens when I have taken off the gas momentarily and then apply throttle to come back to speed, like when I corner. I believe this is a down shift and it jolts me forward and sometimes...

    Hi guys I had a big problem of jerking acceleration at 2500rpm. I've put new spark plugs last friday and no more jerking acceleration. I thought it was the CVT that was doing this, but I was wrong. :D

    Mods, feel free to move this to the knowledge base. I wanted to create it here so I can modify the thread right away. I recently did a "Tune up" on my patriot. I took pictures to finally create a how to because I have been seeing more and more questions about doing it on the MK. Tools...

    Hi!!!!!!! 2 months ago I took my riot 2008 for the 25,000 miles service, I asked to replace the spark plugs with platinum type. It worked fine for about 1000 miles (I just feel the power of platinum spark plugs), but now I am having problems like fuel cut-off at 3000 rpm (betweeen 2800 and...
