2011 Jeep PATRIOT Suspension Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1387869
Internal NHTSA #	11001784
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	PATRIOT
Model Year	2011
File date	27/06/17
Component	SUSPENSION
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Bought the car new. Replaced left control arm in 2015, replaced right control arm in 2016, replacing both control arms again. Dealer wants $750 for each control arm they replace. Ruined two front tires (which luckily didn't burst on me on the highway), ruined second set of front tires. Again, tires were brand new in 2015 due to the left control arm, have replaced 4 tires since then due to the front control arms. Chrysler won't do anything. There are a million complaints about this on the patriot model online. Jeep dealership service center and two mechanics told me it was a design flaw and it will continue to happen. Looking at $750-$1500 a year (not to mention the cost of new tires) to correct. Silly. Car has never been in 4x4 or off road. Has 74k miles on it and is 6 years old. Given that the tires have steel poking through w/in a years time due to the control arm, this is dangerous!
