ADDITIONALLY, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT MOVE INTO GEAR AND THE VEHICLE REMAINED STATIONARY ON THE SHOULDER. THE THROTTLE, FILL CAP, AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

MY 2009 JEEP PATRIOT WON'T CRANK. IT TURNS ON RANDOMLY. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NEW BATTERY. NO CHIP ON KEYS.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND CHIMES CONSTANTLY GO ON AND OFF. I WORK A MILE FROM HOME AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CHIME SOUNDS 10-15 PER TRIP TO WORK. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED, AND RAIN OR SHINE.

WE TOOK OUR CAR IN DUE TO SOME NOISE & INCIDENTALLY IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE DANGEROUSLY ROTTED ENGINE CRADLE. THE REST OF THE CAR IS NOT RUSTED OUT.

TIRE DEALER INDICATES THAT FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS NEED REPLACING DUE TO WORN BALL JOINTS. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 47000 MILES AND IS DRIVEN FOR FAMILY PLEASURE ONLY. THIS IS PREMATURE WEAR. ALL FOUR TIRES WORE PREMATURELY. (IN FACT, THE BALL JOINT ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT.) IF THE BALL JOINTS SEPARATE, CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WOULD LIKELY BE LOST. THE TIRE DEALER RECOMMENDED IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE BALL JOINTS AND TO AVOID DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRS ARE MADE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS (2007-2017) COMPASS AND PATRIOT MODELS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE LOWER BALL JOINTS ON THE 2004 JEEP LIBERTY. THE SAME SHOULD BE DONE HERE BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS.

MY JEEP PATRIOT STALLS WHEN YOUR AT TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH NO WARING AND SOMETIME AS YOUR DRIVING WITH NO WARING. SOMETIMES STARTS NO PROBLEM AND OTHER TIME ITS HARD TO START. THERE NO ENGINE LIGHT OR CODES. THIS HAPPEN MANY TIMES AND I TOOK TO THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FINE WHAT IT COULD BE BECAUSE THERE NO CODES TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM........

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL AND THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND MADE A GRINDING SOUND. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO ST. MICHAEL CAR CARE CENTER (500 CENTRAL AVE E, SAINT MICHAEL, MN 55376) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE HEATER CORE IS CLOGGING NOT LETTING ANTIFREEZE THRU HEATER CORE HAS CLOGGED NUMEROUS TIMES. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IT, FLUSH IT, ETC. IN OUR VEHICLE, IT BLOWS WARM/HOT ON DRIVERS SIDE BUT AS YOU CROSS OVER VEHICLE IT BLOWS COLD ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND SHOP HAS SAID THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM CAUSING METAL BITS TO COLLECT AND BUILD UP AND BLOCK UP THE HEATER CORE. SOMETHING IS CAUSING BLOCKAGE. THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. THE LAST TIME IT WAS REPLACED WAS IN 2015. I OPTED NOT TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN THIS TIME UNTIL WE FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SERVICE TECH CHECKED THE BLEND DOOR, THE THERMOSTAT, AND FLUSHED THE HEATER CORE. HE SAID THE HEATER CORE NEEDS REPLACING AGAIN. THIS IS ALMOST $800 AGAIN ON THIS PART. I SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER JEEP TO MAKE SURE IT IS DOCUMENTED BUT NOT SURE WHAT THEY DO WITH THIS INFORMATION. DURING THE CONVERSATION THEIR PEOPLE WERE SAYING DIFFERENT THINGS REGARDING HOW THEY MONITOR PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLES AND/OR PARTS. TO ENSURE THAT THIS DEFECT IS REPORTED I AM FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. I WOULD LIKE FOR THEM TO RESEARCH WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM SO THAT IT DOES NOT OCCUR IN THE FUTURE AS WELL AS IF IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT THEIR IS A DESIGN FLAW OR OTHER IN THE HEATER CORE SYSTEM OR ENGINE THAT PROPER ACTION IS TAKEN. BE IT RECALL OR OTHER.

WHEN YOU FILL THE CAR UP WITH GAS... IT STALLS... NO POWER, NO BRAKES, NO STEERING... THE DEALER FIXED NUMEROUS THINGS ON CAR AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING... IT ALSO APPEARS HUNDREDS OF OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE... SEE THIS THREAD: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T29898_DS631498 THIS IS HAPPENING NOW FOR ALMOST 7 MONTHS.... OVER AND OVER. IT ALSO STALLED ON HIGHWAY AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY A TRACKTOR TRAILER. YESTERDAY AT THE GAS PUMP IT DIED AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AND ROLLED BACK TOWARD THE FUEEL TANKS... ALMOST HIT THEM

MY JEEP TRY TO STALL AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. I HAD A TUNE-UP DONE, BUT IT STILLS TRIES TO STALLS.

JEEP STALLS AND SHUTS OFF AFTER FUELING.

WHEN MY DAUGHTER FILLS THIS CAR UP WITH GAS, IT WILL STALL WHEN SHE IS AT STOP SIGNS/LIGHTS WHEN IDLING. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE A TURN. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ROLL OVER SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK, AND IT NEEDS TO BE A MANUFACTURER RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 15 MPH AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE BEFORE STALLING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,898.

THE ABS, ECC AND BREAKES DASHBOARD LIGHTS TURNED ON AT THE SAME TIME AND STAY TURNED ON.

WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR OCCASSIONALLY WOULD ACT LIKE IT WANTED TO GO, THEN SLOWLY START TO SHIFT TO MOVE. THERE WOULD BE A WHINING NOISE WHEN SLOWING DOWN, BUT NO LIGHTS CAME ON UNTIL 2 DAYS BEFORE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STOPPED MOVING WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RURAL ROAD 2 DAYS LATER. . 105K MILES. . REGULARLY SERVICED. .

SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHILE DRIVING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT NO IMPACT.

VEHICLE DIES WHEN DRIVING AWAY FROM GAS STATION EVERY TIME AFTER FILLING TANK. IT DOES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. DODGE HAD A RECALL FOR THIS BUT JEEP HAS NOT. WHEN I WAS AT MECHANICS YESTERDAY THEY HAD A HEEP COMPASS THAT WAS DOING THE SAME THING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE, BUT THE RPMS REMAINED AT 5. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR A NOISE IN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING A NEW BATTERY, SPARKS PLUGS, AND TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AT THAT TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,000.

THE TPM AND SECURITY LIGHT FLASH INTERMITTENTLY/ I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE OVER TO FIAT CHRYSLER SERVICE FOR A NUMBER OF REPAIRS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. PARTS REPLACED INCLUDED: STEERING WHEEL COMMUNICATION TRANSCEIVER, INTERNAL WIRING AND GROUND CHECKED, MAIN ENGINE TRANSMISSION MODULE, IGNITION SWITCH. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COVERED BY CHRYSLER MAX CARE WARRANTY, DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN WORKING WITH ME REGARDING REPAIRS AND SUPPLIED A LOANER CAR. THE TPM AND SECURITY LIGHTS WILL FLASH FOR A SHORT TIME AT IDLE, SPEEDS 10 MPH THROUGH 60 MPH, DRY, RAIN, SNOW CONDITIONS. WHEN THE JEEP HAS BEEN FOR REPAIRS CHRYSLER FACTORY WAS CONTACTED BY THE SERVICING DEALER. JEEP OWNERS MANUAL SAYS IF THE SECURITY LIGHT IS ON FOR 16 SECONDS THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN. INITIAL DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED THE IGNITION KEY WAS NOT IDENTIFIED, THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT HAVE STARTED. ON GOING PROBLEM FROM JANUARY 2017, NEW IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED 3/ 8/ 2017. I DROVE AROUND WITH A DEALER INSTALLED DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE FOR TWO WEEKS. WHEN THE TPM AND SL POWERED ON PRESSED A BUTTON ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MODULE THAT WOULD RECORDED CODES 20 SECONDS BEFORE AND AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE WAS TRIGGERED . I HOPE NO ONE GETS INJURED DUE TO THE JEEP ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. ONCE AGAIN THE SERVICING DEALER HAS BEEN DOING THE BEST THEY CAN. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON THE INTERNET.

THE ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT THE FRONT SWAY BAR BROKE OFF AND THE CONTROL ARM WAS ABOUT TO ON 1-28-2017. IT WAS AT DICK SCOTT DEALERSHIP OF PLYMOUTH MI. FOR A TIMING CHAIN COVER GASKET REPAIR ON 10-6-2016. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK WHY I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE SAFETY ISSUE AT THAT TIME. BUTCH SAID WE DO NOT INFORM CUSTOMERS OF RUST ISSUES. I WAS REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER FROM FCA AND INFORMED THIS WOULD BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE THAT A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WOULD NOT DEEM THIS VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE ABOUT 100 DAYS EARLIER. YOU WILL SEE FROM THE ATTACHED PHOTOS.

EVERY SO OFTEN WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHILE CAR IS NOT MOVING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR STALLS OUT, SOMETIMES WHEN ITS ON LONG TIME THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON , IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE THE COLDER IT IS OUTSIDE ,CAN NOT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM BUT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PATRIOT AND OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS NOT SURE WHY CHRYSLER HASN'T DONE ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *TR

SEVERE ACCELERATION JERK. WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 5 AND 60 MILES AN HOUR THE ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN JERK EXCESSIVELY AS IF THE ENGINE ISN'T GETTING FUEL. WILL NOT JERK IMMEDIATELY AFTER TANK FILL UP BU WILL AFTER NEXT TIME DRIVEN UNTIL FILLED UP AGAIN.

CAR HAS MOONROOF, WATER LEAKS COME THROUGH MAP LIGHTS,AND POWER AWICH FOR MOONROOF,DRIPS ON RADIO AND GEAR SELECTOR,CANT FIX LEAK.VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE,VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVEING AS WATER POURS OUT OF MAP /DOME LIGHTS.ONLY LEAKS WATER WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION,NOT SITTING.

DURING SERVICE, CHRYSLER FOUND FRONT CROSSMEMBER HAD A HOLE THAT WAS RUSTED THROUGH. WAS INFORMED THAT IF NOT FIXED, MY VEHICLE WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIR AS MY EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH EASYCARE DOES NOT COVER RUST.

FILLING UP WITH GAS CAUSES ENGINE TO STALL. AUTO GARAGE SAYS IT'S THE CHECK BALL FOR THE FUEL TANK ALLOWING FOR OVERFILLING OF TANK AND THAN FUEL GETTING INTO THE VACUUM SYSTEM WHICH THEN CAUSE THE JEEP TO STALL WITHIN 5 MINS. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF IN INTERSECTION WITH THE KIDS IN THE CAR AND ALMOST GETTING HIT BY A DRIVER NOT PLAYING ATTENTION WHILE MY HUSBAND PUSHED THE JEEP OUT OF THE WAY TILL IT WANTED TO START AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE DECELERATING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE FRAME IS ROTTING OUT. THE CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD. THEIR IS A RECALL ON THE 2007 AND THE 2008 AND 2009 SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SELL. IT IS VIBRATING AND A SAFETY ISSUE.

EVERY TIME IT RAINS OUTSIDE WATER LEAKS THREW THE MAP LIGHTS LIKE A RUNNING FAUCET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CROSS MEMBER PREMATURELY FAILED AND THE ENGINE MOUNTS FRACTURED. THE PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURER'S SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

IT WAS RECENTLY BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION FROM A FRIEND WHO HAS THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE THAT THE SUBFRAMES ON THESE JEEP ROTS OUT AND CAN CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT DUE TO THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS COMING LOOSE. THERE IS A RECALL FROM JEEP FOR THE 2007 YEAR JEEP PATRIOT BUT NO OTHER YEAR, EVEN THOUGH THEY USE THE SAME PART NUMBER SUBFRAME. MY JEEP HAS 65 THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND THE SUBFRAME DOESNT LOOK LIKE IT WILL LAST ANOTHER 10000 MILES. THE METAL IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE BECAUSE A VEHICLES FRAME SHOULD NOT ROT OUT WITH ONLY 65000 MILES ON IT. THE REST OF THE UNDERNEATH OF THIS VEHICLE IS PERFECTLY CLEAN.

INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL STUCK OPEN. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. VEHICLE HAS 92000 MILES ONLY. MECHANIC TOLD ME IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLE. VEHICLE STILL RUNS BUT ST UDDERS DURING ACCELERATION

2009 JEEP PATRIOT WENT TO SHOP FOR A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. CLUNKING SOUND WAS OCCASIONAL AND MOST OFTEN HAPPENED WHEN TURNING OR GOING OVER A BUMP. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A SWAY BAR LINK. ONCE UP ON THE LIFT WE COULD SEE THAT THE CROSSMEMBER UP FRONT (AND OTHER PARTS OF THE UNDERBODY) WERE SEVERELY RUSTED. MECHANIC (INDEPENDENT) ADVISED THAT VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE AS THE RUST IS BAD ENOUGH THAT IT COULD CRACK THROUGH COMPLETELY AT ANY TIME, DROPPING OUT THE ENGINE, AMONG OTHER THINGS. CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT ISSUE AS I FOUND OUT THAT THE 2007 JEEP PATRIOT WAS GIVEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (10 YEAR) FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER OFFERED ME NO ASSISTANCE OR GUIDANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE HAD CORRODED AND THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY EVAPORATING FLUID LEAKING ONTO THE CRADLE. THE TECHNICIAN THEN STATED THAT THE CRADLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE DIAGNOSES AND FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER IS RUSTED THROUGH. CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE 2007 TO TEN YEARS TO COVER THIS PROBLEM, WHICH IF IT FAILS CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF STEERING. CHRYSLER WILL NOT EXTEND THE WARRANTY FOR THE 2009 PATRIOT, WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME PART AND PROBLEM AS THE 2007 VEHICLES. MY CAR HAS ONLY 54800 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE PART RESULTING IN A PREMATURE FAILURE. I WILL HAVE TO GET THIS REPLACED MYSELF. PHOTO ATTECHED OF RUSTED THROUGH PART.

SUB FRAME ROTTED THROUGH.EFECTING RIGHT SUSPENTION NOT DRIVEABLE. HAPPEND WHEN DRVING CITY STREETS HAD TO PULL IN TO NEAREST GARAGE.

UNABLE TO FILL THE TANK WITHOUT THE PUMP CLICKING OFF EVERY 2 - 3 SECONDS, DESPITE HAVING TRIED MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND PUMPS. MECHANIC ADVISED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE EVAP SYSTEM AND THAT THE FUEL TANK WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED (POSSIBLY A FAULTY ROLLOVER VALVE ON THE TANK). ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT IS TAKES FOREVER TO FILL THE TANK, I HAVE TO GUESS AT WHEN MY TANK IS FULL AND RISK OVERFILLING SINCE I CAN'T RELY ON THE USUAL "CLICK" OF THE PUMP. ALSO, IF IT IS A FAULTY ROLLOVER VALVE, I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A PRETTY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HOPE OTHERS EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR PROBLEM ALSO FILE COMPLAINTS HERE AND WITH CHRYSLER/JEEP SO A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED IF NEEDED.

DAUGHTER'S 2009 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 50,000 MILES SHUTS OFF AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF FILL UP JEEP SHUTS OFF AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING. AFTER LETTING CAR SIT IN THE OFF POSITION IT WILL TURN BACK ON AND MAY OR MAY NOT REPEAT THE SAME CYCLE DEPENDING ON HOW LONG IT IS RUN BEFORE TRYING TO PROCEED. ONLY OCCURS WHEN FILLING TANK COMPLETELY; NO ISSUES WHEN NOT FILLING THE TANK MAXIMUM CAPACITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP PATRIOT. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND PREMATURE RUST AND CORROSION ON THE FRONT SUBFRAME. THE DEALER PROVIDED NO RECOMMENDATION REGARDING REPLACING THE PART OR COATING THE FRONT SUBFRAME. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN OF WHO WOULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED A REPAIR RECOMMENDATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER FOR THE DEALER TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
