2009 Jeep Patriot. Only has 30,000 miles and both front ball joints need to be replaced. And parts are on back order!!!!.

Jeep 2007, standard. During an oil change told control arms and front ball joints worn , will need to replace them! have 47,000 miles on the Jeep; am a conservative driver. Tires are worn; have always pulled to the side. Shifting is horrible; slips into other gears. This SUV is less than 3 years old. I have had nothing but problems with this vehicle. The Jeep is a danger, unsafe, and should be off the market. In 2007 the Patriot was not popular. The economy has led people to purchase this vehicle, my guess is that more complaints will be filed when their Jeeps reach two years old.

1. Went into firestone for oil change, and to look at my tires because I thought they were loose. 2. Front control arms and ball joints are messed up, which caused severe damage to inner tires to where the wires inside the tire were showing from the outside. 3. Had to replace control arms and front tires.
