All About 2016 Jeep Patriot Drivetrain Service

Your Patriot drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2016 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.

Jeep Patriot Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2016 Jeep Patriot drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. 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.

That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Jeep Patriot doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2016 Jeep Patriot drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
