What owners wrote
2007 jeep patriot - 58,000 miles - never been off road - highway driven 90% have to completely replace front components - ball joints / tie rods, etc. Rear wheel bearing needs replaced told by mechanic we were lucky we didn't have an accident - they were that bad. Can't believe jeep has not been forced to recall and fix this terrible problem.
