MY DAUGHTER'S JEEP HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO THE RUST AND HOLES IN THE JEEP'S CROSSMEMBERS. THE GAVE ME AS REFERENCE X58. SHE NEEDS THEM REPLACED AS THERE ARE LARGE HOLES IN THEM, BUT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HER IF THEY COULDN'T GET IT OFF THEY WOULD HAVE TO CUT OTHER PARTS AND SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE PARTS AND LABOR (APPROXIMATELY $400) WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID IS TYPICAL. I'VE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT JEEP AND THEY SAID SHE WOULD FIRST HAVE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AND THEN IF THERE WAS A CHARGE THEY WOULD "CONSIDER" HELPING. SO SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR FIRST. THIS HARDLY SEEMS RIGHT. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE?

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. *TR

WHEN PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, AT A SLIGHT INCLINE, IN THE RAIN, THE CAR LEAKS RAIN. THE WATER FILLS THE REAR CEILING LAMP AND THEN SPILLS OUT INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL OCCURS, THE WELL FOR THE SPARE TIRE HAS FILLED WITH SEVERAL INCHES OF WATER. THIS HAS CREATED A SITUATION FOR MOLD TO GROW, A MILDEWY SMELL, AND I HAVE CONCERN ABOUT THE WATER IN THE LAMP. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AFTER FIRST OCCURANCE AND WAS "FIXED", BUT DURING THE NEXT STORM, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IT'S CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING REPAIR FOR THE SECOND TIME. FIRST OCCURANCE: 12/18/07 SECOND OCCURANCE: 1/5/08. *CN

NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) evaluated this petition by 1) reviewing the Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) reports (i.e., complaints) submitted to the Agency, 2) reviewing the manufacturer's response to an Information Request letter the Agency produced, and 3) reviewing the investigative files for two prior Agency actions, specifically PE13-016 and DP14-002, both of which involved the same alleged defect condition and both of which were closed without a defect finding.Consistent with prior evaluations, ODI has determined that further investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists given the conditions under which these stalls occur.Additionally, and as indicated by the failure report counts shown above, there have been no relevant crashes, injuries or fatalities identified by either ODI or the manufacturer despite the fairly significant service life of the subject vehicles.In view of the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the agency's safety mission, ODI is denying petition.A detailed summary of ODI's analysis of this petition is available in the investigative file for this action, and will be published in the Federal Register also.The 39 VOQ reports cited above can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under the following reference (ODI) numbers:10520767, 10582092, 10630009, 10632390, 10655183, 10661543, 10669824, 10679771, 10700955, 10714106, 10721350, 10721565, 10726070, 10749804, 10776405, 10777810,10783139, 10790325, 10794850, 10817500, 10818793, 10822168, 10823089, 10823234,10826088, 10836787, 10837871, 10846388, 10850984, 10851905, 10855663, 10862684,10897450, 10905638, 10914269, 10918942, 10944115, 10944318, 10948386
