After a few weeks if deliberation and planning, I drive out of the dealership with a 2013 patriot sport in the all so elusive Black forest green pearl. It's going to be my spare/family trips car. I only want to do a few mods, mostly for convenience.
I have already noticed a few things I'm going to have to bring it back for to get checked out. The cvt whine, I'll see if I can get them to flush the transmission (I'm at 82k), lots of squeaking from the rear, which I read could be the bushings or e-brake cable needs to be tightened. Also a very low screeching from the front end while driving sometimes and all the time when braking. I told them to take care if it before I purchased it and stupid me didn't take it for a second test drive after they told me it was just surface rust from sitting on the lot so long.
But without further ado,
