My 2014 Jeep Patriot just experienced transmission failure. It has 91,000 miles on it, but has been properly maintenanced. The input shaft bearing started making grinding and whining noises when the clutch was let out while parked and driving. Soon had troubles shifting and my transmission not wanting to go into gear. I looked on the internet for a remedy and noticed thousand of complaints related to this same issue involving most Jeep vehicles. One vehicle only had 31,000 miles when their transmission failed. My vehicle is currently at the automotive shop. They stated that I have 3 options which include rebuild my current transmission (which may be a total loss) , buy a used tramsmission ( no guarantee of when another failure will occur), or buy a new transmission from the dealership (no guarantee of when failure will occur). The automotive shop stated that there is a parts shortage due to this issue and may not be able to obtain the parts to rebuild the transmission and also lack of used transmissions due to the same issue. I just bought this vehicle 1 year ago and will have to pay thousands to fix it due to a known problem in the automotive community without any guarantee of when it will happen again. The owner of my local automotive shop told me to sell it because of the known transmission failure. I saved money to buy this Jeep with cash and do not have the funds to continually replace transmissions in it. Big problem for Jeep and quality of their products. Bigger problem for the owners that are paying thousands to fix their vehicles. Their transmissioms should be recalled due to not model specific. All Jeep models are having the same issues. I cannot believe there is no recall for this issue already.

When accelerating the car occassionally would act like it wanted to go, then slowly start to shift to move. There would be a whining noise when slowing down, but no lights came on until 2 days before. The check engine light came on and the car stopped moving while I was driving down a rural road 2 days later. . 105k miles. . Regularly serviced. .

My 2014 Jeep Patriot over the last several months seems to be losing power while driving. For example when on the on ramp attempting to enter the interstate , it just feels like its almost running out of gas and rpm's will go up to 5-6 . I am almost afraid of being ran over when accelerating during any situation. Also my brakes from day one have always squeeked. . . I've taken it in to have it checked , they have cleaned and days later the same think. And the drums on rear are even worse, more of a grinding sound, but also I have been told they are fine. This noise is not normal . I have also had a few incidents where say sitting in traffic with my foot on the brake it will switch from manual to standard. It will be in drive then I will look and it will be in d 1. I have to manually push the shifter over to go back to normal drive.

Upon backing out of my driveway, I noticed a vibration and related noise coming from behind the firewall of my Jeep; however, after placing the vehicle in neautral while shifting from reverse to drive the noise went away. Upon placing the vehcile in drive and accelerating to 5-10 miles an hour the vibration and noise, which I can only describe as a idling motorcycle returns. If the Jeep is traveling at a speed under 20 m. Ph. Or sitting in drive at a stop light or stop sign this issue is present. Within about a week of this happening, the Jeep had issues starting. Once the key was placed in the ignition and an attempt to start the care was made, the engine had difficulty starting. It would engine would turnover several times before it would finally start. I can only describe it as the same experience an individual would experience when starting a car after replacing the carburetor. When this occurs the Jeep will stall without aby explination. Of course, when it has been taken to the dealership, they are unable to recreate the problem and explain that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle.
