Description of the problem	I am the original owner of a 2008 patriot purchased 03-10-08. While on the highway,i heard noises from the front end of my car. Then i had a caliper lock up on my back brake and i took it in to the nearest mechanic. When the mechanic checked out the car they called the car dealer because i only had 29,133 miles on the car and my outside front control arm ball joints where worn out. The mechanic said this is abnormal and with such low mileage and should be covered by the dealer. The dealer said i was not covered under the warranty of 3 years 36,000 miles. The date of this repair was 4-23-11. A little over 1 month out of warranty. Three weeks later the tie rod went bad while i was on a trip. The cost of these two problems was over $1,000 in repairs that should not have worn out with only 29,000 miles (this does not include 2 tires i had to replace and other repairs). These parts had to have been bad for a while before i became aware of the serious danger of driving with bad ball joints and tie rod.
