    Can I get a goodwill case on an out of warranty car?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 8 June 2018

    It’s not good that the gearbox bearings need replacing on such a new car, but Jeep appears to be handling it in a positive and helpful way. Despite your misgivings, I would recommend you go through with the exercise, and hopefully they will come good with their offer of a goodwill gesture.

    Is the Jeep Patriot four-wheel drive?
    Answered by Iain Kelly · 29 May 2018

    4x2 Jeep Patriots are rear-wheel drive, but 4x4 models are more complicated. Base model Jeep Patriots run in Front Wheel Drive mostly, only sending up to 30% of power to the rear wheels when wheel slip at the front is detected, which means they're technically AWD not 4x4. The optional CVT-only Freedom Drive II drive system allows an electronically lockable set-up and is a proper 4x4 set-up.
