2009 Jeep PATRIOT Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Model	PATRIOT

File date	18/06/16

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Part involved is the crossmember (k-frame) p/n 68211659aa. A/c condensate drain is directly over the k-frame (engine cradle). The k-frame is perpetually wet and therefore corrodes. It is clearly a design flaw that creates a significant risk of catastrophic failure. If the k-frame fails at highway speed in traffic then there is likelihood of death or severe injury. Jeep admits to a problem with the k-frame in the 2007 model year and extended the warranty to cover this defect. Today i called jeep and they refused to even investigate the issue. They asked for my vin and told me it was out of warranty. No interest at all in even receiving photos of the defective part. My local dealer had three of these $634 parts in inventory... They must go through a lot of them. The only conclusion i can make is that jeep sees this defect as an opportunity to cash in -- to heck with the lives it endangers. I offered to bring the jeep patriot directly to their engineering center in auburn hills, michigan so that their engineers could see for themselves. The answer: not interested.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
