One problem related to transmission gear slipping has been reported for the 2010 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I purchased this vehicle in 2014 from thoroughbred Nissan in tucson, az a few months after purchase the transmission was replaced under warranty. Now three years later the transmission is again slipping and has already caused stalls on the highway. One of the times the Jeep stalled just as I switched lanes in front of a semi on an interstate highway ,I was barely able to pull the car over and out of the path of the truck right before the car completely shut off. I have taken the vehicle to a dealer in California where I now reside and they have informed me I have to replace the transmission and there is no longer no warranty. I have also taken the Jeep to two other places that specialize on transmission and they have both informed me that the transmission utilized in this type of Jeep has many problems and that they would recommend I buy a new car all together as I am likely to experience similar problems in about 2-3 years if I choose to have the transmission replaced, even if I continue to maintain it properly as I have been. This Jeep is only 7 years old and is already in need of it's third transmission. I have researched complaints on this vehicle and transmission failure seems to be common in these type of cars. It is extremely dangerous to keep allowing these cars to operate with the current faulty transmissions especially because they start to stall with no warning. I had an extremely close call and would hate for anyone to stall out without notice going full speed on a highway. My car stalled many times before any light came on, and dealers aren't even willing to replace a transmission with such light. Please I urge you to review this problem and find a solution. This problem first surfaced in the fall of 2016 and the problem continues. I rarely drive this car due to this. I have researched options and feel the manufacturer should take responsibility.
