Consumer Description

MY 2008 JEEP PATRIOT JUST TURNED 39000 MILES AND DEVELOPED A POPPING/CREAKING IN THE FRONT END THAT GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE DAY-TO-DAY. IT APPEARS TO BE THE BALL-JOINTS. AFTER A BIT OF RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE PATRIOTS, AND IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY WITH WINTER COMING. BEING A LOW-INCOME SINGLE DAD, I SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THE RIDICULOUS COST TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT WAS THE DIRECT RESULT OF CHRYSLER TRYING TO SAVE MONEY BY USING CHEAP PARTS. *TR
