2011 Pat fd1 CVT 110,000 miles I've been chasing the bad vibration in this Patriot all winter long new plugs new coils air filter I have cleaned the PCV valve which was stuck a little but that's just for crankcase ventilation crankcase ventilation 00 I've said before I wonder if this is some type of an electrical issue but not throwing a code I say that because when I was in McDonald's at the drive-thru the other day car and drive in idle when I put my windows down it bogged the engine down so bad it almost stalled so I'm starting to think that the alternator on these Patriots are not enough to fire the electrical components in this car but again not enough to throw a code

There's bee quite a few times when I'm leaving for work in the morning that my windows have some light frost or condensation on them and I'll open and close all 4 windows at the same time and it's never caused my Pat to bog or hiccup or anything, even if I have it in Drive already. Might want to take yours to an auto parts store and get your battery and alternator checked, as well as check your terminals & cables.

Vibration in drive at idle, I had this when I first got my Patriot at 38k, ending up replacing the front (below) bumper motor mount, which fixed the issue. Now at 69k its come back, I am selling so it doesnt matter but its annoying when I at the stop light and it does that. I put it in park and than back to drive, fixes it a little but its still there
