2016 Jeep Patriot Manual Transmission Problem
I have a 2012 with 5 speed now with 65k miles and have had nothing but problems since day one. Love the jeep, hate the 5 speed. Maybe its because I use it for light towing? On occasion I tow a small trailer with one ATV or one snowmobile on it but never anything more. Bearings went out two or three times on the original tranny. Finally got jeep to replace the whole thing under warranty with a new one.
Shortly after it started leaking fluid, had the seal fixed, and now a year later and 15k miles after the new transmission its leaking fluid again. My wife has a 2015 same jeep, same 5 speed and has had zero issues so far. Maybe its luck of the draw. I have driven standards since 16 and never went through a tranny before. Ironic I chose the 5 speed because of all the poor cvt reviews. I think I am trading it in tomorrow for new one with 6 speed auto.As Kenny Rogers sang, 'You have to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em.' Maybe its time to fold your 5-spd.
And good luck with the new one! Mine had a whine that heard on the test drive, like a fool I bought it anyway. Last week the whine went away, replaced by a growl which on Sat became a grind then a locked up trans. Not surprised to see more reported on here. At the dealer as we speak waiting to hear the result.
Any input on how long it takes to get replaced/repaired?Don't know if its the same for manual transmission, but it took a little more than a week (with a weekend in between) to replace my CVT. There was a day or so waiting for FCA to approve, paperwork on their end, etc. They replaced my CVT at 110,000 miles without any hassle. I had a 2013 Patriot and had the same issues. I let it go for a little thinking it was just a noisy throwout bearing. Then it started to pop out of 5th gear so I took it in. At approximately 16,000 miles I had the transmission replaced by the dealer under warranty.
I had recently just reached approximately 25,000 miles and the noise was starting again. I didn't feel like dealing with it, so I traded it in. I bought the manual because I have had some issues with autos in the past, but this seemed odd for a manual to have so many issues.
Never had any issues with manuals in the past. Manuals are usually quite durable. I've never had a problem with one, I've probably had significant experience with a dozen in my life.Agree. That was the main reason I went for the 5spd over the CVT. Mine was defiantly a lemon. With so many reports of transmission bearings going, I wonder if something in their design was out of line causing inappropriate pressure on the driveline.
Axle seals every 10K and tranny bearings every 20K more then once? I might have been born at night but it wasn't last night My current 2016 6 speed auto is treating me well so far. Just passed 10K miles on it and am very happy. A little decreased MPG but being able to go slow when on seasonal roads, or actually being able to back up my trailer under 5mph without riding the clutch is nice.
If I didn't have so many problems with my 2012 standard I would have kept it. We haven't had any problems with my wife's 2014 (knock on wood.). With so many reports of transmission bearings going, I wonder if something in their design was out of line causing inappropriate pressure on the driveline.When I was a kid my folks bought a 1966 Chevy II wagon that had manual tranny problems. I was too young to drive but I remember my Mother being stopped at traffic lights and not being able to get it into 1st gear.
She could tell it wasn't going into gear even though the column shift moved into position - it just didn't feel right. When the clutch engaged it would grind. She'd try again and it would go into gear as normal. After a couple years of this there was a recall for a defective (bent) steering column.
The transmission was never right but I bet the bent column damaged during those first few years. Like you say, some inappropriate pressure/stress on the gearbox.
Mom wasn't alone; my Dad hated that car too, and there were more unrelated problems. Its the only car I ever saw him abuse: He put it in gear and -%@$% - it went into gear!
Guess Mom wouldn't/couldn't put that kind of oomph into the shift lever. They sold it the month the payments ran out. He bought a 1969 Dodge and never looked back; it was the best car He ever owned. Dad used to work for Chevrolet back in the 1950s, too. Best thing GM could have done was to give us a new car - they lost so-o-o many sales after that. Over the next 40 years I can think of 13 new Chrysler products our family has bought - maybe more if I really thought hard on it.
The jeep patriot manual I drove did awesome. I beat up that vehicle by driving it off road, burning clutches and crashing it a few times. 50k miles when I got rid of it.
The transmission nor anything else in the car failed. There was body damage from the last accident. And it got wholesaled to a dealer in Paicines, CA where MrDewsDad bought it. Renault clio 197 workshop manual. He's told us 'the rest of the story.' Anyone buying a used anything must consider that however nice the dealer has cleaned it up, the previous owner may have used it rough or skipped the maintenance.
I had a lot of cars when I was on the road. While I always did the maintenance, by 100,000 miles the tranny and suspension had worked hard.
I'd trade it with tires that would barely pass inspection, but the next owner would have to replace them soon. Then the shocks and struts. Then the transmission. And the ball joints.
That said, once the person got past those repairs, it was probably good for a while to come. I can imagine the 2nd owner got tired of the repairs and sold it cheap after 10-20,000 miles just to unload it: 'What a lemon!' So the 3rd person got it and says, 'Yeah, its been great. Had to replace the rear wheel bearings early on, but since then I've put 50,000 trouble-free miles on it. Comin' up on 200,000 miles and I'd trust it anywhere.' 2009 Patriot Limited 5 Speed here.
Just had the Front Transaxle rebuilt last week, pinion bearings, syncros, the works. Covered under the lifetime powertrain warranty, thankfully. First problem we've had with the drivetrain. 215K -Chris in VermontI wouldn't complain about that at all! With proper maintenance 200K is about the life expectancy of modern vehicles parts IMHO anyways.
Both of my current patriots are still going strong (knock on wood) 2016 w/ 6 speed auto, and 2014 w/ 5 speed standard. It seems like many people here had premature problems with the 2012 or so year patriots. I really think something was out of alignment on the unibody and or engine/ transmission mounting points causing things like main bearings and seals to go at crazy rates. It doesn't take much miss aligning pressure to cause things to wear funny.
What's New for 2015:. High Altitude package. Optional navigation system for Latitude trim level. Removable flashlight replaced by dome light. Eco Green paint color Introduction The 2015 Jeep Patriot is a 5-passenger, small crossover available as a front-wheel-drive (FWD) or 4-wheel-drive (4WD) model powered by one of two 4-cylinder engines. It is the boxier and slightly more capable sibling to the Jeep Compass, with which the Patriot shares much of its architecture.
Competitors are plentiful and include the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, Nissan Juke, and the Subaru Impreza hatchback. Models and Features Jeep builds the 2015 Patriot in three trim levels: Sport, Latitude, and Limited. Serving as the lineup's entry-level model, the Patriot Sport addresses basic needs with its standard 16-in. Steel wheels, manual windows, 4-speaker sound system featuring a CD player and auxiliary input jack, cloth upholstery, and little else in terms of amenities.
Air conditioning, for example, is optional, as are power windows and door locks. In the middle of the Patriot range is where you'll find the Latitude, home to a more substantial list of standard features, such as heated power mirrors, 17-in.

Under the Hood There are two engines offered for the 2015 Jeep Patriot, though their availability is dependent upon a couple of factors: trim level and drivetrain. For the FWD Sport and Latitude variants, Jeep employs a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that generates 158 horsepower and 141 lb.-ft.
The Limited, as well as Patriots equipped with 4WD, utilize a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 172 horsepower and 165 lb.-ft. Gearbox choices include a 5-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). In typical Jeep fashion, though unique for the small crossover segment, the 2015 Patriot allows buyers to select one of multiple 4WD systems: Freedom Drive I, a full-time setup with a locking feature; and Freedom Drive II, also a full-time system with a locking feature, plus hill-hold control, off-road mode, and a low gear for the CVT.

Four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes are standard on 4WD and Latitude trim levels (all other configurations are equipped with front disc and rear drum brakes). Fuel Economy According to the EPA, the most fuel-efficient version of the 2015 Jeep Patriot is FWD and equipped with the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine mated with the 5-speed manual transmission, a setup that nets 23 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway, and 26 mpg combined. At the bottom of the fuel-economy ladder is the 4WD Patriot fitted with the CVT, which is estimated to average 20 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, and 21 mpg in mixed driving. Safety and Technology The Patriot is billed as a capable and affordable small crossover, meaning you won't find a full array of the latest creature comforts and safety systems. Buyers who want a blind-spot monitor, intelligent cruise control, or ventilated front bucket seats will need to look elsewhere.
That said, the Patriot-named an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick in 2013-isn't completely devoid of must-have items, as evidenced by its 6 air bags and anti-lock brakes. In terms of technology, the 2015 Patriot offers Bluetooth and in-car Wi-Fi connectivity, a touch-screen navigation system, and other amenities like remote start and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

Jeep welcomes an all-new, completely redesigned flagship Grand Cherokee model for 2011The Patriot, Wrangler, and Wrangler Unlimited also receive a series of improvements for the new model yearHistoryThe Jeep brand originated more than fifty years ago, during World War II. The United States government was looking for an inexpensive and rugged off-road reconnaissance car, so they asked dozens of companies to submit bids. After a series of tests, the contract was awarded to Willys. The original 'model MB' was soon nicknamed the 'Jeep,' and the name stuck. The company was bought by AMC in 1970, and then sold to its current owner, Chrysler, in 1998.
