general problems of the 2012 Jeep Patriot

Rusted sub-frame in the rear of the vehicle that is completely broken. A google search shows this to be a major problem for Jeep which makes the vehicle dangerous to drive and should be recalled. The rear started making pound clunking sounds. If it get worse the rear wheel could fall off the vehicle.

Took Jeep Patriot to firestone service center for full inspection. Upon completion of inspection was told by the tech that my vehicle had severe underbody rust/ rot and that the front and rear crossmembers needed to be replaced among many other components needed repair/replaced such as complete brake job, cv axles, gas tank bracket and two seized lug/studs. Apparently, fca has a warranty extension called x69 bulletin that repairs the crossmembers for rust/rot but it is only for vehicles manufactured before 24 January 2012. My vehicle was manufactured on may 2012. This is unacceptable. It is clear that this issue was not rectified for vehicles manufactured after 24 January 2012 and this issue should be subject to a full recall and not a narrow warranty extension. Broken/compromised crossmembers could result at a minimum of vehicle destruction and serious injury to driver/passengers and a maximum loss of life due to this manufacturing defect. The NHTSA should act accordingly and force fca to start a recall immediately.

Front and rear subframe of the Jeep has bad corrosi�n, Jeep only has 80,000 miles on it. It is pass the warranty coverage, why is this not a recall?.

The subframe and rear cross members are extremely rusted and corroded, resulting in the vehicle being unsafe to drive. While there appears to be a ten year extended warranty covering the repair of this problem, apparently not every 2012 Jeep Patriot qualifies for extended warranty which only applies vehicles manufactured at only certain locations. According to fca customer care the extended warranty does not attach my VIN number, although the rust and corrosion problem is identical to the damage repaired for other Jeep Patriots.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that the front passenger's side wheel would spin faster than the front driver's side wheel and caused the vehicle to pull to the right with force. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who advised that the passenger's side wheel that was spinning faster than the driver's side wheel was a manufacturing defect that could not be compromised. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000 and the current mileage was mileage 11,632.
