Description of the problem	Problem was isolated on a routine oil change. I had noticed handling problems coming down hill and applying brakes earlier in the month. Dealer says both front tie rod ends are shot, as well as lower right ball joint and control arm. They want $600 to repair it. I have researched this and it can cause rapid tire wear, or loss of control. The failure is apparently endemic with jeep patriots, as i have found many complaints from other owners as frequent as every 12k miles on the jeep patriot online forum. Some owners have almost lost control of their car. Some owners have reported multiple failures. I have never had a car which required a tie rod or control arm, let alone at 32k miles. This vehicle is supposed to be a rugged off road vehicle, and i have yet to take it off the road. So why did it fail so soon? If this faiure occurs this frequently, and if each occurence carries a potential loss of control, wouldn't that be a serious safety hazard?
