Consumer Description

WE STARTED TO HAVE A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF OUR CAR WHEN WE DROVE IT. THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING IN THE WHEEL, WE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT. HE TOLD US THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. HAD IT TOWED TO A JEEP DEALER, SAID IT WAS A GOOD THING WE DIDN'T TRY TO DRIVE IT. IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT THE ENGINE COULD HAVE FALLEN OUT IT WE HIT A POT HOLE ON THE WAY THERE. CONTACTED JEEP, THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IN MY RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED IN 2007, 2008, AND 2009 JEEP PATRIOTS.
