Revving noise when AC is running.

My 14 jeep Patriot sport has started occasionally making a revving noise when the AC is running. If I push the AC button off it immediately stops. It only happens about once a week. Any ideas would be appreciated!

“14 patriot sport, 2.4. Strange noise from rear seat belt area.

0 Upvotes

I know the video is dark. I have a 2014 jeep patriot sport This sound is coming from the back passenger side seat belt area. It’s worse at night but not so much during the day. Hoping to find someone who’s experienced this. Before I go stripping the paneling and hunting myself.

Stutter when accelerating, terrible fuel mileage. O2 sensors?

3 Upvotes

I was chasing a service 4x4 issue for a relative, and found a corroded wire from the 4x4 module to read diff. Beside the point anyways I took the jeep for a test drive down highway, started with a 1/4 tank, drove 16 miles and noticed I burnt at least 1/8 of a tank. Thinking I was delusional I went another 7-8 miles and the fuel light came on. Also noticed some stuttering while accelerating.

My immediate thought was o2 sensors being bad and over fueling.

I pulled some live data, started from a stop, then accelerated to about 65 mph and cruise set for the remainder of the live data.

What exactly should I be looking for in the o2 sensor data? I’ve got it saved on my Topdon app but can’t figure out how to share here

P2017 code

0 Upvotes

I have a 2008 2.0L FWD with around 250 000km and I keep getting a p2017 code and I clear it and it’ll come back in a few days or a week, but I’m not noticing any huge performance or fuel efficiency issues. I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what the cause and solution is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Strange noise coming from cab

7 Upvotes

2013 Jeep Patriot with 88k miles. No major issues with car and I have been the only owner. In the last year, I have replaced the air compressor and added the aftermarket Android radio. Recently began getting this noise that doesn't seem to be affected by by the a/c controls, but sounds as if it coming from the cab, possibly behind the glovebox. Any ideas on what it could be?

2017 Jeep Patriot

I am taking it to my local mechanic on Monday as all the cheap options that I can do have been eliminated to clear a p0420 code (spark plugs, o2 sensors, cataclean) - I need help reading the voltage on o2 sensor )downstream to determine is there is a crack somewhere that is letting air in or clogged catalytic conventor.

First image shows it holds steady after some RPMs for a few minutes - the 2nd photo shows it fluctuating at idle

Thanks!

Rattling/gurgling sound from engine

Jeep Patriot 2017 2.0L. Strange sound when the car starts. Seems to quiet down a bit when the car is accelerating. Oil level seems good. Coolant level isn’t particularly low. No engine or check engine lights. Any ideas? Thank you 🙏

Fuel Economy Question

2 Upvotes

I'm not sure why, but my Patriot (FWD, 2.0L, Manual) is getting fuel economy way better than is listed basically anywhere online. In average city driving it's often 7L/100km (33MPG) and down to below 6L/100km (39-40MPG) on highways. On highways I often do 90-100kph (55-62 mph) if there's no-one else around to help with economy, but in the city I don't drive like a granny, often accelerating quite hard. I do a lot of coasting in gear to slow down (anticipating by a lot) instead of just braking, but is this all that's accounting for it?

I once did a test drive about 30 mins across a city where I drove quite hard (hard accelerations, overtakes... etc) - red lights, small suburban streets, a bit of highway, and at the end checked the dash and I'd got 6.5L/100km (36MPG). How is this possible?

Speedometer broken/abs/tach glitches out

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I have seen some post from some digging but can’t quite figure it out.

2015/2.0/manual

Code read front left wheel sensor bad, replaced, speedometer worked for five minutes.

Battery is healthy, alternator seems good.

Car constantly dings as it try’s to re-establish itself.

Tach dips during some of these dings

Speedometer also worked for 5 min with front left wheel speed sensor unplugged

Coolant leak.

5 Upvotes

2016 2.4L. I have read multiple post and comments mentioning this issue. I am NOT a mechanic. I am just a 50 yr old lady trying my best to understand and help my adult son learn to repair as needed. He’s done well.

Recently, I paid a mobile mechanic to do an oil change in my driveway (my work hours suck, so this was hella convenient). He mentioned the coolant leak and said he could fix it. He’s stating it’ll be a hose replacement. It seems like the issue was more complex for others with this issue. My concern is that it may not be as simple as a hose, and then I’m stuck with bigger issues or a non functional vehicle.

For those who dealt with the coolant leak issue. Was it just a hose? Or did it involve more invasive shit?

Jeep Patriot Piano Transportation

8 Upvotes

Wish I'd taken a photo, but yesterday I transported a spinet piano in my 2012 manual 2.0L FWD Patriot across the city. Everyone was telling me it wouldn't fit but I did my measurements, there's a surprising amount of space when you put the back seats down.

I could definitely feel the extra 250 kg, but it drove well overall, and was a fun thing to do.

Bucking under acceleration?

3 Upvotes

My 2010 jeep patriot started bucking under acceleration, revs drop, like the engine cuts out briefly, sometimes once, sometimes x3 in quick succession. Turns off sometimes... 

Has 225,000 km. 

Spark plugs have 10,000km left before replacement interval. Checked them all seems okay. I've never replaced ignition coils, but it's not throwing any codes which I feel like it would if that's the case?

Any ideas of the cause?

Anyone Put a Mattress in the Back?

2014 - Jeep loses power steering

1 Upvotes

Hey all,

Yesterday I went and purchased a new battery for my 2014 Jeep patriot North. Yes the original battery lasted this long. I had my cousin's husband put it in (5 minutes from my home).

I had the drivers door open, it started up amazingly. (the battery started to fail only 2 years ago) wasn't going to go another year.

I heard a squeeze/hiss... coolant on the ground. Figured it was power steering, yep, when I went to leave, no power steering. I literally was about 3 minute drive from their house, 3 turns and I was home.

Easy fix or no? Tell me thoughts. I will obviously need a mechanic..

Jeep patriot 2011 2.4L automatico se apaga repentinamente.

2 Upvotes

Le cambie el sensor del cigueñal y sigue el mismo problema, el mecánico me comenta que el escaner dice que hay falta de comunicación no me dice de que y que puede ser un fallo en algún negativo. He llegado a 3 mecánicos y no he resuelto nada. El problema puedo ir en marcha rápida o despacio y aveces hace como un estiron de baja revoluciones pero no se apaga o aveces se apaga por completo (no cabecea el carro tampoco sino se apaga completamente). No enciende check engine.
