My 2011 Jeep Patriot only has 80000 miles on it, recently took it to garage for noises and mechanic says the sub frame is corroding and it's going to be unsafe to drive. This is a big expense and especially with so few miles. This should be a recall. I've gone on line and read many of the same complaints.

I was cleaning my Patriot 2011 when I notice that the subframe has holes. I also owen a 2008 Jeep Patriot and I got a recall for the same promblem. When I contacted the dealer about the same promblem they said they didnt had a recall for 2011 Jeep. My biggest worry when driven this vehicle I that at any moment the subframe may brake, me that I drive constaly on a highway it is a damgerous situation. I feel that all Jeep Patriot owners should be aware of dangers. I notice this because I was playing with my son and a ball went underneath the car. When driving the car I thought the cracking sound was the tires, but was told they were not. So now I am assuming the subframe is to blame. I would highly appreciate if something could be done.

I have notice a recall on frobt and rear subframe rust and prefoartions and cross memver. Mechanic says subfranes are rusted all the through and broke. He states car is too new for this to be gappening. Jeep has been a hassle-sibe already replaced $1500 worth OF2 a arns/control arns at Firestone. Bidy is rusting and car is well cared fir- sibe I have been fighting cancer and this is and has been my onlt transportation fir car. I am asking why nt car is not under any of the recalks but ine cheaper service recalk-as it certainly falls under all the recalls currently the 2011 heep Patriot has on it. Ver disappointed and would appreciate any help I can receive in this matter. Also-Jeep has always oulled to the right since I bought it-got car alignment still oulls to the right. Again-Jeep has been a gassle to own. I biught brand new.

Jeep Patriot 2011 at reaching 90K miles had a poping sound from the driver's side. Took it in and it was then found the subframe/crossmember is completely corroded. It's no longer being driven as at any moment the engine can fall out. This type of corrosion is seen at cars 30yrs+, it's unbelievable how bad it is. We are a household of multiple cars and while the Jeep is the youngest one, it's in the worst shape.

Sub frame has rotted out to the point its falling apart. You can literally start to hear it cracking. This is in a car that is a "grocery getter" that is stored in a garage at all times with 73,000 miles on it. Very unsafe and could easily kill someone.

2011 Jeep Patriot was purchased brand new Sept 2011. Just had it in the shop as something was not right and causing our tire to wear unevenly. Their inspection found the sub frame is now rotted out due to rust after only 6 years! this vehicle has also been very well maintained. This is bull crap. Thank god we noticed ours before something catastrophic happened, but this has very real potential to cause serious injury or deaths if the frame were to fail while driving. And there are tons and tons of complaints regarding this everywhere online. Chrysler just doesn't want to deal with it. Total bull crap. Took it to the dealer to have it fixed under the extended warrenty that was put in place because of this issue, and of course they say there are lots of other parts that are connected to the sub frame that also need to be replaced which are not covered. So basically this 6 year old car isn't worth fixing. Something needs to be done. There were also other safety recalls for this same model.

The front K-member on my Jeep Patriot has a complete rust thru hole that comprises the safety of the vehicle. This is a known issue with the manufacturer and they refuse to cover this even thou they have extended the warranty for older Jeep Patriots to cover this problem. All Jeep Patriots from 2007 thru 2015 have the same front K-member part number and yet they refuse to deal with this issue.

The sunroof drain tubes freeze causing the sunroof reservoir to fill with a significant amount of water. Any vehicle movement causes the water to leave the reservoir and pour down through the dome light onto the console, radio, and gear shift control.
