Patriot North Edition 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 68,351 miles

After multiple suspension issues(among other issues - see other complaints ), this is the latest one to pop up. Spent over $5,000 in 2 months, draining all my accounts, as I pay off this stupid lemon and it's added costs.

Claim it's "the pot holes" and/or "My driving"... which I assure is not the problem. Don't have the money to be driving my cars rough and hard. I baby this thing to avoid these costs.

Stay away from these vehicles. Pay the extra money on the purchase price to end up with something reliable. This car is breaking the bank. It's marketed as a 4x4 but it's just a Dodge Caliber with a 4WD option.

Too bad as they are nice looking cars and misleadingly affordable.

My mechanic says ball joint problems are a common issue for Jeep Patriots because it's essentially a Jeep body on a Neon chassis. What a lemon.
