I am approaching my wits end with my daughters car, this 2009 Jeep Patriot 139K miles, 2.4 L w/ CVT. Get a cylinder 1 misfire only at highway speed and it causes a constant light shudder in the engine. Turn engine off and on, and run below 45 and it’s fine. I’ve replaced sparks, coils, fuel injector on 1, valve cover gasket (had a small oil leak regardless of the misfire). Am going to do a vacuum test and see if it could be a hose or something. The fact that it’s only on highway tells me it could be a fuel mixture issue. The only code it throws is P0301. Any other thoughts on where to look before I have to put it in the shop?

Bonus points if anyone can point me to a place that either has a replacement ABS module or can fix a broken module. I’m also dealing with a lit up dashboard because of a bad ABS module. Yes I replaced all the wheel sensors and that did not fix it. Every search for this module yields nothing. Discontinued, or people just selling the pump.

6 speed auto transmission, no rust, no leaks or water stains. 2015 jeep patriot 120k miles (purchased in 2023 at 105k miles for $10k).

basically the title! i've had a few repairs over the years, usually averaging about $1.5k a year in maintenance (things like the ABS sensor, break pads) we changed out the O2 sensor last year so it's definitely the cat at this point. there's nothing else functionally wrong with the car, but I was quoted 3k to replace the cat and i'm wondering whether it's a better choice at this point to get rid of it and lease a newer car with lower maintenance costs. I like owning my own car and not having a car payment (and I love my jeep) but I can't afford to buy another car and don't want to replace the catalytic converter if there's going to be another major repair within a few years. any advice is much appreciated!

My wife drives a 2013 Jeep Patriot Sport 2.4 CVT with 110,900 miles. We recently replaced the AC compressor and everything was working fine. Then out of the blue she tells me the heat won’t work, like no hot air at all. I just checked it out and sure enough, no hot air. The first thing I checked was the coolant level and it was low. I filled it back up and then let the car run a for a while. When I went back to check, no heat at all. The engine is heating up normally, the gauge sits perfectly in the middle and has no temp issues when driving. Any suggestions on what it could be? Normally I wouldn’t be too worried since we’re going in to the second week of May however it’s currently 40° and we’re going to have a freeze warning going in to Tuesday morning where the low temp will likely break a record. It’s insane that it’s this cold. Thank you in advance!

Well boys n girls it’s definitely my CVT trans is shot: amongst like some other things, that can be fixed, but they want $9k for trans for a Patriot that’s 10 yrs old w 184k, so I might just sell it to dealership or get something from Carvana or CarMax, Wifey saw an X5, so my ass might go big n buy some German Engineering, I’m already using my BIL’s Audi A3 but it’s too damn small for a family of 3.

So I’m saying good by too the Jeep community, but I’ll stay here too answer any questions that I can to help serve your needs

130k miles

Anyone got a fix to this problem ? Check engine on and lighting bolt light are on, at idle of revs to 4k rpm and does not stop till I put it in drive, once it drive it continues to do the same thing so it’s driving without even pressing the pedal. Itll stay around 2k rpm at all time while driving. Itll stop once I press the brake then it seems normal at a red light .

My local scrapyard has a Patriot for parts. Any recommendations of things to take from it to either upgrade my own / keep as spares for my own?

I had a rear wheel bearing on driver's side put in and was charged $399 including parts and labor (and tax). Is that a fair price? The vehicle is an inexpensive one ( 2010 Jeep Patriot) but the shop doesn't give discounts for that, LOL. Thanks.

So on Saturday posted about my possible CVT being toast, well got a rental, Jeep got towed to Stealership. Won’t real know real damage or problems until late tomorrow or Thursday. Please hope it’s only the needing filter n fluid n not the whole transmission. Don’t really have $5k to shell out especially with Mothers Day n a few other things on my plate, is it wrong of me to start a GoFundMe or sell my feet online? Asking for a friend
