I'm no help either....I've had mine nearly a year and so far, knock on wood, it has been flawless. I've got the petrol 2.4/CVT and I'm very happy with it, but I've heard nothing but praise for the diesel version. I can only suggest turning up the stereo loud and checking the speakers haven't been blown....but that it unlikely as mine have withstood my use fine....Anyway, hope that we see a diesel/automatic version in the near future...I'm retiring in a couple years and would like one as our workhorse while the wife drives her shopping cart...Good luck with your Patriot. I think you'll be very pleased with it.
