Bought this Jeep with 2 miles on it.

Bought this Jeep with 2 miles on it. Taken very good care of it. But it seems every time I turn around something is going wrong. Doesn’t start all the time shuts off on the freeway, has a knocking noise. I’ve taken it to the mechanic more than once. They can not find a problem with it. I will ever buy a dodge jeep again

Come on jeep recall all patriots

I've had this car for over 7 years the CVT transmissions should have been recalled on all cars it a piece every since I got to 40000 miles where the warranty went out the tranny has just got worse worse it started out a quiet sound now it's a roar. I often wonder how much longer it will last. I wonder if jeep will ever do right

by there customers and recall all patriots not just a few. It is is a very rough riding car. Once the brakes would not stop I wound up hitting another car because I applied brakes but just didn't stop. Slid right in back of someone airbags never deployed but now a few years later the air bag light comes on all the time at 24000 I got surely ripped off. And CVT transmissions not a lot of ppl know how to work on them the mechanic said if I was u I would just drive it until it breaks cuz they r expensive and it's hard to find someone who knows about them
