| Description of the problem | While performing other work on my 2009 patriot the mechanic discovered the "k" frame crossmember rusted out. This crossmember holds much of the vehicles suspension. This is a danger since this could eventually corrode enough to completely fail or buckle while driving. There certainly should not be this level of corrosion in a 2009 model car frame. This is a garage kept car from michigan |
