Love this vehicle because it's comfortable, gets good fuel mileage and has all wheel drive, but dislike it more because the engineering of the whole suspension is a disgrace

The suspension, struts etc, have been replaced on my 2009 patriot 3 times, and it has less then 75000 kms! It got to the point where the dealership had told us to stop bringing it in for warranty! I could see it if I used it for off roading, but it was just my town vehicle that barely saw even gravel roads.

The power steering, rack and pinion have been replaced twice.

The CD player is no good, it skips and stutters even on brand new CD's.

The :"leather" on the gear shift (5 speed manual) has cracked numerous times and looks ugly. The number panel ontop has also broke off.

Over all - it is a good vehicle, but i wouldnt buy it again.
