| Description of the problem | 2008 jeep patriot tie rod end failure at 50k miles. Good thing i had a state inspection and they found this. I've not had front end parts go bad like this in any other vehicle. I found out that they are using cheap front end parts on these vehicles, some fail at under 20k miles. Tie rod ends, ball joints, and control arms seem to be defective. |
