2007 Jeep Patriot consumer reviews

Trying to return my car under the lemon law, but of course, Chrysler is being difficult. Have taken it in 5 times for moldy smell coming from A/C system. Had entire A/C system replaced and soon after, started stinking again. Brakes make a loud honking noise in reverse. Roof leaked from dome light. MPG is about 19 in a 4WD. Wish I had saved my money.

I have had my Patriot for 1 1/2 years and I still love it as much as I did on day one. I am 5'7 and the headrest's are in the perfect spot for me, as I enjoy resting my head during red lights or traffic jams. My only complaint is that my windows seem to freeze up very easily. Since we started getting snow and cold weather in November, my windows have froze up 6 times. This has never been much of a problem with my past vehicles. But over all, I love it!

Bought our Patiot new to take a trip out West. Less than 2000 miles the air conditioner went out in the middle of the desert. Called our dealer who was no help in helping locate a local dealer. No customer service. We rode home in 100 degree weather (over 900 miles) with no air. Our dealer said it was OUR FAULT that the air was out, a sensor was broken. They made us pay for this, said warrenty was void on this. The sensor was a cigar sized piece of cheap plastic. Now, our ac keeps molding and stinks to high heaven. Dealer has cleaned it out and it hasn't helped. Interior plastic panels are falling off. When we take it in to be fixed, it always takes no less than 2 weeks to get a part. We do not recommend anyone buying this vehicle.

The Patriot is much larger inside than it looks! Gets great gas mileage 26MPG for us. Love how it drives and handles! I have had mine for almost a year and no problems! My husband is an extreme rock crawler. He can't wait to get his hand on my Patriot and see what it can do. He's going to have to wait awhile - I'm keeping it!

We bought our Patriot brand new. When we got it home we realized the side mirror was broken, it took two weeks for another one to be found. Eight months later the engine light came on and it was a manufacture defect in the engine. The engine needed to be replaced. It took a month to get it back. I drove it home and water poured out of the dome light. Dealer said it would take two weeks before they could get it in and to park so the nose was pointed down. Two days later, on a Sunday, the jeep was clicking. I turned it on and when I turned it off it kept running. I had the keys in my hand and it ran for an hour and a half. I drove it to the dealer and had to wait for it to run out of gas. The roof was fixed it was a manufacturing defect in the weld and the electrical problem had nothing do with the water pouring out of my ceiling. It took a week for them to find the loose wire. Guess what?? Today, after only having it back for two weeks, the ceiling is leaking again and the engine light came on!!! Stay away from this jeep, PLEASEE!!! We talked to a representative from Chrysler but he was too busy, said he'd call back. That was two weeks ago!!

I drove a Jeep Wrangler for 12 yrs. Now I have a family and wanted 4 wheel drive & good gas mileage. Bought the Patriot and have regretted it ever since. I've already had problems with the brakes and I can see more problems on the horizon. This is a cheap, poorly made, imitation of a Jeep - don't be fooled!

Happy with my new 2007 Patriot Sport 4x4 CVT2 FD1 E26 package and the dealer installed Cruise Control as part of the fantastic deal. Pros for me are gas mileage, handling, comfort, minimal interior road noise, practical interior, styling, and decent performance out of the 4 cylinder engine. Not really a con but, getting used to driving the CVT2 which was odd at first.... getting to like it more with each passing day though as it does it's job well.

Have owned a Jeep Cherokee for about 8 years (still going strong) and was bummed when they stopped making it. Bought a Patriot because it was dubbed the "new Cherokee". The size, price, gas mileage, and warranty made it an easy choice. Absolutely love it. It has a smooth, quiet, comfortable, roomy ride for a Jeep. The only complaint I have thus far is that it is easier for me to see (5'2") out of the Cherokee, than the Patriot. Other than that - it has yet to disappoint.

Great value puts this Jeep in it's own class. More features, performance and style than CRV Escape, and RAV 4 combined.

I've owned my Patriot Limited for three month, and 6000 km. So far, it's been flawless. Shaping up to be the best vehicle I've ever owned.
