Nine problems related to body have been reported for the 2007 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Sunroof leaks during/after heavy rain, putting car through carwash. Water puddles on floor well of drivers seat and floor well of passenger behind drivers seat. Issue started in 2009. Leaks happen while in motion or standing still.
My front and rear cross members are corroded. I took it to the dealer I purchased the car from. They told me I had to call Chrysler, which took forever and a day to get back to me (about 10 days). For them to tell me it was not something they feel is necessary to fix. If I want I could have the dealer do it, and pay out of my pocket. After doing some research, this seems to be a problem with the Patriots, and some Jeeps in general. This is not a fix I can afford, not can I get a new car at this time. Mechanics at the dealer were shocked Chrysler did not approve this, since it is a safety issue.
Suspension creder car frame rest.
Dealership sold me an unsafe vehicle, ive only had the car for 19 days and my mechanic noticed a major issue. My cross member is completely rusted out.
Discovered the rear portion of the engine cradle dissolved by rust.
My daughter's Jeep has an extended warranty due to the rust and holes in the Jeep's crossmembers. The gave me as reference x58. She needs them replaced as there are large holes in them, but the dealership told her if they couldn't get it off they would have to cut other parts and she would be responsible for the cost of the parts and labor (approximately $400) which the dealership said is typical. I've been in touch with customer service at Jeep and they said she would first have to have the work done and then if there was a charge they would "consider" helping. So she would have to pay for the repair first. This hardly seems right. Is there any recourse?.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, an abnormal noise emitted from underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the frontal under carriage and cross member had corroded and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 62,000.
Water appears to be leaking through sunroof, with inner dome light filled with water. Potential electrical issue.
The sunroof on this vehicle is leaking into the interior this can create and electrical fire due to water dripping in the middle console and the vechicle can stall or catch fire due to shorting. There is a known TSB pointing out to a hole on the vehicle body yet it is only a TSB this should be a recall as it is something simple to fix.
