One problem related to transmission failure has been reported for the 2010 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Second complain about transmission failure. Vehicle needs new transmission again after 3 years from being replaced. As I was driving on I-70 from my hospital job in the morning rush commute, my Patriot decided to drop speed from 70 mph to 30 mph on a blink of an eye. This time since I was alone just putting me in danger unlike the last time in 2013 when it happen that my 11 year old and 1 year old baby were on board. I swerve to the shoulder yet again to avoid being hit by traficc I proceed as I recall to turn ignition off and try to maintain tacometer from reaching 3000 rpm to avoid transmission safe mode to kick in again as I make it home.
