One problem related to steering wheel has been reported for the 2009 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I had to replace the front ball joints on my 2007 Jeep and it cost me over $700. My car is 4 months past factory warranty and only has 23,000 miles. I feel Jeep should pay for this repair as the ball joints should not fail after only 23,000 miles.
