| Component | SUSPENSION |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Vehicle went in one week ago for noises coming from the rear of the vehicle. Suspension was replaced at 51000 highway miles. Three days later noises returned and vehicle was brought back in to be looked at again. Maintenance personnel stated a possible issue with the lower control arm. Part is currently on back order, waiting to have part reached. This is my second jeep patriot that i have owned (first was a 2008 jeep patriot) and both had their control arms go around 50,000 miles. Jeep needs to look into recalling these parts because it is apparent that they are not built from quality. This makes me concerned as to what other parts are breaking down at so little mileage. |
