Consumer Description

JEEP PATRIOT 2011 AT REACHING 90K MILES HAD A POPING SOUND FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE. TOOK IT IN AND IT WAS THEN FOUND THE SUBFRAME/CROSSMEMBER IS COMPLETELY CORRODED. IT'S NO LONGER BEING DRIVEN AS AT ANY MOMENT THE ENGINE CAN FALL OUT. THIS TYPE OF CORROSION IS SEEN AT CARS 30YRS+, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE HOW BAD IT IS. WE ARE A HOUSEHOLD OF MULTIPLE CARS AND WHILE THE JEEP IS THE YOUNGEST ONE, IT'S IN THE WORST SHAPE.
