| Description of the problem | We own a 2015 jeep patriot, bought used in 2016. It now has about 75,000 miles on it and has served us well. That is, until the beginning of december. My husband heard an odd squeaking sound in the rear, and took it to our local mechanic (who is sae certified, and has worked as a service manager for both chrysler and ford) thinking that maybe we just needed more body clips on the bumper. After driving it around the block the mechanic thought it sounded more like worn shocks, so they put it up on the rack. Good thing we didn't wait much longer to bring it in, because the left rear axle was breaking loose from the frame the welding was still intact, but right beside the welding is a large break. And of course, several other parts are broken as well. Neither my husband nor the mechanic saw any signs of impact anywhere down there. There were no large dents, marks, protruding or bulging metal members of the vehicle |
