2007 Jeep Patriot Drivetrain Service

Your Patriot drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Jeep, from back to front. It’s one of your Patriot’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2007 Jeep Patriot, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Jeep's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Jeep Patriot Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2007 Jeep Patriot drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Patriot might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Jeep Patriot.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2007 Jeep Patriot? Again, it depends!
