| Description of the problem | This is a safety issued with the 2008 jeep patriot. These vehicles have a problem with ball joints and arms breaking. Was told by the mechanic that this is a common defect with this auto and is a very dangerous problem. When i looked into it online i found many blogs regarding the 2008 jeep patriot with this problem. I think jeep needs to step up and correct this problem. I've never had to put money into a 4 year old car. |
