“My front and rear cross members are corroded. I took it to the dealer I purchased the car from. They told me I had to call chrysler, which took forever and a day to get back to me (about 10 days).

After doing some research, this seems to be a problem with the patriots, and some jeeps in general. This is not a fix I can afford, not can I get a new car at this time. …”

I brought it to the dealer several times at first to get it fixed since the leaking kept recurring and it was covered by warranty. The tubing end was crushed and twisted was the first diagnosis. I lost faith in having the problem fixed. I dealt with the leaking dome light but now other issues have added to the disappointment. …”
