Description of the problem	Severe ratting in the front end of my 2008 jeep patriot. I took it to a garage to have it looked at and they said the ball joints were bad the vehicle has 66000 miles. After reserching it online and over a 500 complaints in chat forms for the same thing i found that chrysler had a rrt 08-070 for improper torque on the lower a arm bolt. I further reserched it and found that this bolt is an mvss bolt that was incorrectly torqued. I called the dealership to confirm the rrt and the said my vin was not included. I called chrysler and got the runaround that the vehicle milage could of been the issue. There were many posts on jeep patriot. Com stating they had the same problems on the same year and make models. One post stated they pulled out of the dealrship after the vehicle was repaired and the front tire fell off. My wife and grandson do alot of traveling in the vehicle and i would hate for them to be traveling and hit a pot hole and the bolt shear off because of chryslers not wanting to make a recall on the vehicle. I worked 14 years as a quality engineer in the automovtive business for a teir 2 supplier and chrysler would have no problem on making a recall on a part that was produced by our company and make us pay for it. I think there should be a recall on this issue because of the safety issue at hand with the front wheel assembly a arm bolt breaking and the assembly falling off. *tt
