Consumer Description

I AM FROM CANADA AND OWN A 2007 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. I ONLY USE MY VEHICLE FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING AND NEVER TAKE IT OFF ROAD. I ONLY DRIVE IT WITH CARE. RECENTLY, I BROUGHT MY JEEP TO A DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A STRANGE NOISE. THROUGH A SERVICE, IT WAS DETERMINED MY LOWER BALL JOINTS WERE EXCESSIVELY WORN TO THE POINT OF BEING A SAFETY HAZARD. THEY NEEDED TO BE IMMEDIATELY REPLACED IN ADDITION TO THE CONTROL ARMS. THIS COST APPROXIMATELY $1000 CAD. IN READING OVER THE INTERNET, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH ISSUES ACROSS THE BOARD. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL. THERE IS NO WAY THE BALL JOINTS SHOULD BE NEEDING REPLACEMENT IN A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH NORMAL DRIVING USE. HAD I NOT BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR A SERVICE, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED AND WOULD POSSIBLY HAVE LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
