Best and Worst Jeep Patriot Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 8 Jeep Patriot model years from 2010 to 2017 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 320 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2017 — 59 complaints, 0 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2013 — 120 complaints, 1 recall campaign, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2010 — 188 complaints, 2 recall campaigns

Most owner complaints

  • 2014 — 548 complaints, 2 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2016 — 458 complaints, 1 recall campaign, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2012 — 354 complaints, 4 recall campaigns

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
