Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD THE 2009 JEEP PATRIOT'S SUBFRAME BROKE. BECAUSE OF THIS MY VEHICLE ALMOST LOST THE PASSENGER TIRE. HAD IT BEEN ON THE FREEWAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. AFTER BEING INSPECTED BY THE MECHANIC HE HAS NEVER SEEN RUST THIS BAD AND IT'S MUCH MORE DETERIORATED THAN ANY OTHER PART OF THE UNDERBODY. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. A 9 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS SORT OF DETERIORATION. THE RESULT OF THIS MECHANICAL FAILURE HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TIE-ROD, THE SUSPENSION, AND THE CONTROL ARM. VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS.
