Jeep Patriot Parts

Jeep launched its Patriot model at the 2006 New York Auto Show using a modifiedGS platform from Chrysler that also powered the Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass and presenting a design separate from the other vehicles with its distinct sales plan. The Jeep Patriot provided Freedom Drive I and Freedom Drive II as its 4-wheel-drive systems with the former functioning as standard front-wheel drive until it redirected 50% of power to rear wheels when traction failed and the latter utilizing a specialized CVT program for tactical low-speed off-road driving. The Jeep Patriot experienced two steering advancements as early models had hydraulic power steering and later models upgraded to electronic power-assisted steering (EPAS) for better handling. The Jeep Patriot received criticism for its durable engine options including the 2.0L and 2.4L inline-fours since their refinement and acceleration performance fell short of expectations. The originally available continuously variable transmission (CVT) received disappointing reviews yet the Patriot acquired a more efficient six-speed automatic transmission in its later configurations. Newer crossovers surpassed the Patriot in terms of refinement although it showed respectability in off-road capabilities through the Freedom Drive II package. The Jeep Patriot introduced minor upgrades across its life cycle but never managed to change its fundamental design characteristics which were marked by stiff materials and tight seating capacity.
