| Description of the problem | Just outside of warranty my wife's 2007 patriot 2. 4l started to fail to start. It was verified that it was not the battery, pcv valve, starter, or a fuel issue. It would simply not start when left in the sun (in such as a parking lot). All of the accessories worked. It was towed to three different dealerships on separate occasions. No one could figure it out. I contacted chrysler and received a complaint number. Chrysler reimbursed me for the things the dealerships charged me to replace and eventually said that they don't know what's wrong with it and couldn't fix the car. The shocks also failed prematurely at 40 thousand miles, and the cv joints are sealed units and failed prematurely. Overall i am very dissatisfied with this car and chrysler jeep dodge. |
