UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN THE RAIN, WATER STARTED POURING THROUGH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, BOTH FRONT AND BACK, WATER WAS EVEN COMING IN THROUGH THE AIR BAG POINTS. WATER GOT INTO THE RADIO/CD PLAYER/VENTS EVERYWHERE. I WAS SCARED, IT WAS HARD TO SEE AND AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS), I WAS VERY LUCKY I DID NOT CRASH, AS IT WAS VERY HARD TO SEE. UPON INSPECTION AT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DISCOVERED A BULLETIN WAS OUT ON THE CAR FOR FRONT/REAR SUNROOF DRAIN SYSTEM FAILURE AND THE GASKET/SEAL ON THE SUNROOF FAILED. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE JEEP FOR 8-9 MONTHS.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE JEEP PATRIOT HA S ACVT TRANSMISSION AND WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND CRAWLS TO A START. I ALMOST GOT KILLED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE DIDN'T MOVE WHEN I NEEDED IT TO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CHARACTERISTIC AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD INFORM PROSPECTIVE OWNERS OF THIS SITUATION. SEARCH THE WEB AND YOU WILL FIND OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS. *TR

SUSPENSION
WENT TO GET MY ANNUAL OIL CHANGE ON MY 2008 JEEP PATRIOT WITH ONLY 42,000 MILES ON IT. MY MECHANIC CALLED ME AT WORK AND SAID MY LOWER BALL JOINT WAS ABOUT TO FALL OUT. NOW THE CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. I DO ALOT OF DRIVING BUT NO ROUGH DRIVING ALL HIGHWAY DRIVING. SO I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT BALL JOINT WOULD BE BAD AFTER 42,000 MILES. NOW THE BAD PART SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THE REPLACEMENT AT OVER 450.00. DON'T THINK THIS IS RIGHT BUT WHAT YOU GOING TO DO. *TR
