general problems of the 2010 Jeep Patriot

Total erosion of front and rear subframe. Replaced front 2021 rear rot 2023 so bad mechanic shop wouldn’t let me drive it after needing a inspection sticker( couldn’t get). Never was notified for extended warranty about replacing this part. Huge safety issue.

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while getting a routine oil change at the dealer the mechanic stated that there was a large hole in the subframe due to excessive rusting. The contact was informed that the subframe needed to be replaced. The contact recalled technical service bulletin, NHTSA id 10140027 (suspension, steering) from approximately 5 years ago and inquired if the vehicle could be repaired under the TSB. The contact was informed that the TSB was no longer valid. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the TSB was no longer valid. The approximate failure mileage was 136,560.

I never received a letter about x69 extendy warranty on cross member frame and now im told the bottom of my frame is all rusted and my back tires are bending in and I cant drive the car safely and needs replacement and that its been like this for awhile had I been informed of this x69 I would of taken my Jeep in to get fixed I am extremely upset and would like to know if anyone can help me. And my air bag module light came on and I paid over 1000. 00 for that to be repaired and I was told there was a recall on that and I never got that letter. I am very distraught over this.

Engine crossmember erosion very dangerous to drive. Fca extended warranty will not cover. Did not receive a letter of warning that was sent out to thousands.

I kept hearing an odd click, creek noise from the driver side front end. It sounded like something was hanging or something had broken off. I took it into a shop and it was discovered that the front sub frame was rotted in several places and had broken. When the rear was inspected, it is rotted to the point where you could push your finger through if you tried, and there was a section bent. I can no longer drive this vehicle, and I am still paying on my vehicle. I owe $4,900. The repairs would range from $2,500-$3,000, if it even can be repaired, just for the front. The shop stated there was a recall to fix this issue so I'm reaching out to see if this could be covered or what measures are offered if any in this situation.

The subframe has corroded causing my tire to break while driving down a city street. There is a problem that Chrysler is aware of but has not to informed the public only service. If I have been driving on the freeway this would of been a horrible accident and could of caused bodily harm.

I have bought a 2010 Jeep liberty and now noticed that the suspension crossmembers are rotting out and there is a hole in the front crossmember. I researched and found out this was an issue with the Patriot, compass, and a Dodge caliber. Yet there was never a recall.

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for routine maintenance and the contact was informed that the front and rear crossmembers showed evidence of corrosion. The contact called romano Chrysler Jeep (215 w genesee st, fayetteville, NY 13066, (315) 637-3101) and was informed that both crossmembers needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer provided a 10 year extended warranty coverage on the vehicle for the crossmembers. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Jeep Patriot. While driving approximately 25 mph, the front driver side wheel suddenly detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who discovered that the front cross member failed due to corrosion of the subframe. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 98,000.

At any speed the Jeep is apt to start wobbling side to side after driving over bumps. (frequently called the "death wobble" by Jeep owners when describing this condition. ) at highway speeds this makes it difficult to stay in lanes. The hood hinges do not hold the hood securely down. At speeds above 30mph you can witness the hood wobbling up and down and side to side. You may read about both of these issues in dozens of online forums regarding Jeep issues from owners across the country.

My sister was driving my vehicle. She felt car wheels pulling to one side. Vehicle began to veer out of control where she tried to stablize. Picture taken after accident shows that bottom frame of vehicle became unattached from vehicle. The vehicle did not hit another vehicle or anything else solid. The vehicle was in motion on two way street where the vehicle was keeping straight with no turns.

When braking, the Jeep seems to loose rear control features. The same often occurs when slowly accelerating. It has "shifted" from one side to the other at times when general straight road driving occurs. Speeds have never exceeded 30 mph. Braking loss of rear control occurs at speeds never exceeding 5 miles an hour.

There has already been a tba service bulletion on this vehicle. It has to do with the front and rear subframes. I just bought this vehicle a couple months ago . The old owner never replaced them so now it's so rusted out that the toe can't b adjusted and the tires are pointing inward horribly wearing the inside tread of tires wear out 90× faster. The subframes about to snap causing the whole rear end to hit the ground.
