Front cross member (subframe is completely rusted)causing a loud thumping noise when applying brakes or driving over bumps in the road. Very dangerous if the subframe would come completely separated from the vehicles body. (this should definitely be a recall and why it hasn't been is a real mystery to me. This is not an isolated problem. Every Patriot owner I have talked to seem to have the same problem. Chrysler is aware of this too. I am expressing my deep concern on this matter and I know that there won't be a [xxx] thing done about it. I will be left with fixing this [xxx] on my own. In the meantime I refuse to let my wife drive the [xxx] thing until it is fixed. Chrysler should be held accountable for this defect but I'm sure that they won't. Wife bought this vehicle brand new in 2011 against my better judgement. But she's the one that paid for it. Now I'm paying for it in repair costs. This is a safety issue! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
