| Description of the problem | I was driving on the highway and the car began to shake, so i took it to a jeep mechanic. The front and rear crossmembers are rotted to hell on my 2008 jeep patriot. I have taken it to multiple jeep dealerships that have recommended it be replaced, and jeep would not cover it because they said it had to be even worse. Now i believe my warranty is expired and it looks as if it is going to crumble any day now. I really wish jeep would have just did the right thing and swapped it out. It really makes me nervous and i am going to most likely have it replaced out of my pocket just to rest assured. It only has 93,000 miles on it, i have never seen a car fall apart so fast. |
