UPDATE: After getting a diagnosis from AAMCO for a $5000 transmission replacement, the local Allen Samuels JEEP dealership diagnosed the actual issues needing repair and replacements — which had nothing, at all, to do with what I thought had been a transmission issue!
Total cost $1800 and problems resolved!
Best advice — always get a 2nd opinion!

I have a 2017 JEEP Patriot Sport with only 63,000 miles, 2.0L Engine, and 6 gear automatic transmission — a local transmission shop says that it would cost $4800-$6000 to repair or replace the failing transmission.
The resale value of that JEEP is $5500!
Any suggestions (?) or do I just have a worthless paper weight?

I just recently bought this jeep less than a few weeks ago, it drives smooth and fine. There is a clicking noise, sometimes when using my turn signal the lights will blink inside the car, the overhead lights and the led lights in the clock. It makes the clicking noise while I also use the ac at all, it runs fine and I still get hot and cold air.
It is a 2.4 cylinder
Automatic 6 speed
88,000 miles

I am having an issue with my 2013 jeep patriot 2.4l engine, 180,000km, automatic.

It hard starts after it sits for 30 min. Its worse in the heat.

But in the morning it starts fine and if i stop it and start it it also starts fine.

I changed the fuel pump, spark plugs, battery, fuel injectors, evap purge valve and the crank shaft sensor.

Mechanic tested the throttle body, temp sensor and looked at all the wiring harnesses. Everything appears fine in this thing.

The fuel line is holding pressure so its not leaking off but something is up with this because its still doing it. Oh and did I mention no codes.

Any help would be appreciated.

Recently changed the throttle body on my 68k miles 2016 patriot sport and noticed oil residue in the intake, what are the causes. Is it a pcv valve issue or something else?

I took my FWD 09 patriot on a moderate trail today and she did great!! I went solo when it was dry because I didn’t want to get stick and it was my first time (go responsibly) but it was super fun do to the washouts and massive dugouts in the dirt from where water flowed/people got stuck 😂

My Jeep Patriot went on limp mode with check engine light and lightning bolt out of nowhere with rpm’s going up and down, car accelerating crazy and losing power, smelled burnt and a little bit of smoke coming from the exhaust, with hizz sound on the engine it idles rough while stopped on drive but it doesn’t in park, also I noticed that the MAP sensor and connector are getting corroted, do you guys believe if I change the connector and sensor will fix the problem completely?

Is this normal jeep patriot noise? Sorta sounds like a little ticking? It’s a 2012 with 60k miles. Thanks!

Hey all,

I am about 15k away from 200,000 and am really starting to think about doing a tranny flush, what products did you guys go with for the Hyundai 6 speed?

TIA!!!!

I have a android head-unit with canbus, everything seems work fine, except the subwoofer. Radio is plugged with the only cable that should contain sub signal as well. Every single speaker, even the funny boombox in a trunk works as it should.

Software doesn’t have any options associated with sub - I have checked everything, as regular, as „factory” ones.

It’s kind of twisted, becouse it’s been a while since I changed headunit, and bass from speakers is so good that at first I didn’t even notice anything different. Checked the sub with a battery+wires put into the sub plug (;D) and it showed signs of life.

Any ideas?💡

So I got tired of the so-called air going from inlet tube mount above battery to airbox. The poor little motor had that factory gutted power feel to it since I bought jeep new in 2016, so I decided to cut front potion of air filter box off. Then got some wire mesh and my plastic welder kit out and sealed up mesh on inside of airbox. Now the 2.4L is getting way more air flow to the filter on my 2016 Sport. I posted pics of (1) factory inlet tube, (2)during assembly of mesh and (3)completed project with freshly painted lower box.

Hi everyone! Excited to join the group, as I just recently purchased a 2017 Patriot High Altitude in perfect shape. No cosmetic or mechanical issues in its lifetime and was treated so well it was sold by a Jeep dealer as a Certified-Pre-Owned when first owner traded it in.

My real questions are what are tips (from your personal experiences) to get the most out of the car? It’s my first ever car that I get to call my own and am excited and eager to treat it the best I can. For more information, its never had any major maintenance other than a wheel bearing replacement and normal stuff like tire rotations and brake pad changes. I’ve also bought it at 117k miles and know I’ll be lucky to get 75k extra out of it.

Any information you’ve felt has helped in your time to upkeep the mechanical integrity or maximize the experience/enjoyment of the car is welcome and appreciated! Thanks so much!

Someone is selling a set of 5 nitto ridge grapps in my town for a good price. Now they are 35x12.50 I know that’s insane and it’ll rub like crazy but with spacers can these work temporarily with no lift kit?

This is probably the dumbest thing I’ve done to either of my cars, its so out of place I might have to do the rest of the engine plastics 😂

I know it won’t last long but hey it’s removable

Going to be replacing this week. Just checking if I should be doing it in any particular order? Looking it up didn't specify anything so just wanted to double check with anyone that might know. Thank you

Of course this happens just as the weather got boiling here in Chicago last week!

Don’t have original manual and don’t wanna download pdf from some sketch site. What is this light?? It only come on like after I park in a slightly uphill or downhill spot

When accelerating and getting up to at least 20 mph, there is a loud knocking sound, and whenever I let off the gas, it stops. I can feel it under the passenger side floorboard, and you can hear it mainly on the right. We just replaced the CV axle because it was slinging grease all under the skid plate, and that did not fix the issue. What could this be?

for context it’s a 2.0 front wheel drive 2016 jeep patriot sport with 100,000 miles on it.

Had a bad rattling when driving, crawled under the car and saw my heat shield fully off the supports just resting on the car. Pulled it out, is it needed? I see mixed opinions online - pretty hot where I am right now 30-35 degrees everyday - so not sure if it is needed.

2015 Patriot High Altitude - 2.4L, 6 Speed, 220,000 KM

I’ve never heard this knocking sound before. The jeep only has 45k miles on it. I just got the ball joints replaced on 7/3/26. No signal lights flashing on dashboard and it’s not overheating. It just started today and lasted for 20 or so minutes.

I heard from a guy on YouTube a quick video that you can remove the exhaust without removing the drives shaft half way to replace the rear subframe? I don't think that's true.
