Description of the problem	This jeep patriot has been having issues with acceleration, first and foremost. When driving at constant speeds with cruise control set, vehicle will stutter and miss gears. Dealership has not found any solution to figure out the issue because there is not light on the dash. Second, the jeep has had a creaking/clunking sound coming from the rear. The dealer started with replacing the rear struts and sway bar bushing. This did not fix the issue and the sound kept getting worse. Two different dealers have diagnosed several different issues that they "think" are causing the problems with the suspension and causing the sound. There is no definite diagnosis but the dealers are more than willing to use my money for a trial and error replacement of each part until they get to the bottom of the sound. I am not a test rat for their dealership and if they cannot diagnose the car then they need to replace it.
