| Description of the problem | Repeatedly brought 2008 jeep patriot to dealership for repair estimate of creaking in suspension and/or steering column. Was told that a rock was found in the suspension and it was removed. Problem persisted and again i took the jeep back for repair. Was told that no sound could be heard and that nothing was wrong with the jeep patriot. Looked on line where i found the information on bad ball joints and arms http://www. Jeeppatriot. Com/forum/showthread. Php? T=37926&page=4. Many people have had this problem and jeep refuses to acknowledge this. I am taking it in for a 4th time for my concern for safety. |
