r/JeepPatriot

I got a 2009 patrio, the turns signals work randomly, the headlights won't switch off unless the car is off, the dashboard turns on and off while driving, and the cabin light only works if the door is open. Do i check the fuses or call a priest?

2.4L cvt 112k miles. When i turn on the AC, the engine stalls out after a few seconds. I had the compressor replaced and i cleaned the throttle body but it's still happening. Any ideas?

Edit: ill take a video and post it here tomorrow morning.

I have a 2012 Latitude with 107k miles, the interior needs detailing (and smoked in car) but i replaced the cooling system, alternator, spark plugs, and carbeurator within the past 2 years (it’s running well). I put in a digital radio that has Apple play and a USB charger where the cigarette lighter that I paid like $700 for 5 years ago (so there’s navigation using the phone). I still have the original cassette/cd stereo. No accidents. Tires are at about 60%. 4wd.

I just bought a newer car and was only offered $400 as a trade in but KBB says i should be able to get $5500.

I live in Utah. Realistically, what should I list the car for on marketplace/ksl/auto trader and to those who’ve bought/sold similar lately how much money was it after negotiating? I’m thinking of asking 6k so there’s a cushion for bargaining.

I recently got a 2016 patriot with the 130 RES headunit in it. The headunit doesn’t work (i.e. I plug in the aux and the song plays for 2 seconds and then cuts out for 5 seconds then comes back for 2 seconds and repeats until I just turn the headunit off) so I opted for an upgraded one. I am not tech savvy at all but after doing some research I saw that I could just buy a newer factory radio and it would be plug and play. I bought a used 430N RHB on Facebook for $25 and tried to install it. Radio doesn’t turn on, all dash lights come on and flash, the car starts for a min and then dies, the red antitheft light comes on, etc. Is this due to the headunit being a high speed can bus and my patriot being low speed? Or is this something else? Upon further research, I now know that low bus and high bus are not compatible but does anyone know any easy ways to get around it if that’s the case? That probably sounds stupid but I’m just confused because one thing says you can find an adapter but I can’t find any adapters for this, and then another thing says I just can’t use it at all. How screwed am I?

Have an issue with my son's 2012 Jeep Patriot I'm looking for advice on. It won't take fuel without clicking off after a second or two. No matter how slow you go.

Repair shop wants $1600 to put a new fuel tank on it because the "flow chart" says to replace the tank. The thing is barely worth $1600 to begin with. He's a teenager and this is his first car. I'm not looking to sink even more into it after I just put $1,000 into the damn rear brakes (which weren't even functional they said).

The great oracle that is YouTube seems to suggest there is some charcoal filter evap vent thing-a-jig that is $200 that usually fixes these symptoms. Any thoughts on if that's worth a shot, or do I just bite the bullet and pay the extortion fee to the shop? I asked them about the filter and they said it's not on the "flow chart" for them to check.

2016 jeep patriot 141k miles. about a month ago when turning on my car i heard a draining sound like a water jug emptying? fast forward a few days my car started overheating and my mechanic said it was radiator fluid coming out of the overflow. he didn’t find any leaks or anything else wrong. now i’m a 28 year old female so i have no idea what any of that means but anyways he replaced the thermostats and housing and sent me on my way. all was fine but ever since getting my car back i haven’t been comfortable driving it (anxiety about it breaking down again) and so ive only gone 5 miles at most around my little town the last 2-3 weeks. today i sat in idle for about 5-8 minutes and upon turning off the engine i heard that water jug emptying sound again and when i drove off i saw fluid on the ground 🫠 does this sound familiar to anyone? im so frustrated and at a loss right now.

edit : i have replaced the throttle body already and replaced thermostat housing to a better material to avoid warping in the future.

2017 patriot. Trying to change the engine air filter, but the bolt to the housing (the one in the back) is impossible to reach. Any tips?

I am looking for a good beater/first car. I saw this pop up on marketplace. https://www.facebook.com/share/1EQC99gJG6/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Whats everyone’s thoughts on the 2014 Patriot as a whole? I recognize they are not built the most solid - I would buy this because of the manual tranny and avoid any CVT issues.

has around 155000km

for 4K CAD it seems like a good deal. just making sure I’m not getting into a lemon. I can do work on it if needed (I was an apprentice mechanic at Chrysler for around a year so I know basic repairs up to clutch replacement and can work on things if needed but I want something that won’t be a headache)

I guess I just want to hear some firsthand experience from y’all and see what you think.

Hello recently I've been noticing a lot of spark knock at around 1.8k to 2k rpm. It feels like rattling marbles when accelerating. Does anyone have idea how to reduce or minimize this ? It's more evident when the motor has been running for a while and hot.

Recently changed oil and filter.
