TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS WHEN IT WAS PLACED INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED BACK INTO DRIVE AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK ONCE AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESIGNED TO PERFORM IN THAT MANNER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,070 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE CAR WAS SHIFTING HARD INTO GEAR, MORE LIKE A MANUAL, INSTEAD OF SMOOTHLY SHIFTING. SOMETIMES THERE WAS A DELAYED START WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE. THIS OCCURRED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND WAS TAKEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE EXAMINED. THEY REPLACED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND FLASH PCM. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE OLD PART. *TR

THIS IS A ONE-OWNER 2007 JEEP PATRIOT 4WD WITH 86000 MILES. THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT. THE DEALER HAS NO EXPLANATION FOR THE FAILURE. OF COURSE THE 3/36 WARRANTY IS UP! DEALER SAYS THEY CAN ONLY REPLACE AT A COST OF $4500. HOW CAN A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 86000 MILES NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION! *TR

THIS VEHICLE IS MY DAUGHTERS AND WHEN WE TOOK IT IN TO HAVE NEW TIRES INSTALLED THEY DISCOVERED THE DEFECTS. IN APRIL 2010 MY DAUGHTER COMPLAINED OF A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN SHE WOULD HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. SHE CALLED ME AND I ASSURED HER THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE WITH ONLY 35000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. DURING THIS SAME TIME FRAME SHE TOOK THIS JEEP IN FOR A REGULAR OIL CHANGE AND AT BILLION MOTORS IN SIOUX FALLS,SD AND THEY TELL HER SHE HAS A BAD TIE ROD END. AGAIN I ASSURED HER THAT WITH ONLY 35000 MILES IT IS OKAY TO DRIVE. I HAVE BEEN A MECHANI…
