The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Patriot. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle decelerated when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the tone rings on the rear axle were dry rotted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 62,000. Updated 11/12/15
The subframe assembly on my 2008 Jeep Patriot has begun rusting out. The outer tie rod ends and lower ball joints are also worn. Similar issues have been addressed through a parts recall on the 2007 Jeep Patriot. This degradation of steering/suspension parts on a 2008 model warrant a recall similar to that of the 2007 model.
I had brought my 08 Jeep Patriot to the dealer for a inspection and was told the front suspension cross member was rusting out and should be watched so I came home and did some research online only to find out this part was recalled and given a 10 year unlimited mile warranty on the 07 Patriots only in 2014.I want to know why this does not cover the 08 Patriots when it is obviously a problem and a safety issue as mine has holes already rusted through it.
