TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HIS DAUGHTER WHO OWNS A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WERE FLOATING LEFT TO RIGHT. THE STEERING ALSO TURNED LEFT TO RIGHT AND RIGHT TO LEFT, WHICH CAUSED THE DRIVER TO MOMENTARILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAYSTAR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (330-863-1144, LOCATED AT 206 S CARROLLTON ST, MALVERN, OH 44644) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT HARD BRAKING LOCKED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAUSED IT TO STICK TO THE FLOOR. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE BRAKE PUMP AND THE ABS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,000.

BROUGHT MY VEHICLE FOR BRAKES AND INSPECTION AND RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE GARAGE SAYING I NEEDED TO REPLACE ALL 4 BALL JOINTS. THEY SAID THE LEFT FRONT ONE WAS EXTREMELY LOOSE AND BARELY HANGING ON. I RESEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND MANY INCIDENTS OF BAD BALL JOINTS ON THIS VEHICLE WITH AN EXPLANATION FROM LOCAL DEALER SHOPS THAT THERE WAS A BAD BATCH INSTALLED INITIALLY. THE REPAIRS COST ME OVER $700 BECAUSE THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT EVEN THOUGH THE MILEAGE IS STILL WITHIN RANGE. JEEP KNOWS ITS AN ISSUE AND HASN'T RESPONDED WITH A SAFETY RECALL. ARE THEY JUST WAITING UNTIL AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS WITH DEATH RESULTING BEFORE THEY ACT? *JS
