I have had the wheel speed sensors and other associated parts as to why my ABS light is on and all that's left is the ABS module. I know other patriot owners that are having the same issue and it affects the driving on my vehicle. Seems like my brakes aren't working quite right when I depress the brake pedal.

I made a u-turn in my vehicle on a town street , as I completed the u-turn the vehicles rear suspension broke. The broken suspension made the vehicle feel like it was going over a rumble strip, the suspension being broke made the wheels turn in towards the wheel wells where it rubbed and eventually blew my tire. I was looking for a place to pull off safely. When I finally got it too a auto shop they told me the suspension rusted in two .it had to be moved with a flat bed. I had the vehicles front fixed in january of 2017 . Which was under the extended warranty because of complaints so the vehicles rear took an extra three years to rust out which is only two years over the warranty. I have enclosed a copy of bill from when then front was done.

I was driving my 2008 jeep patriot limited down the street and hit a pot hole and with in seconds it sounded like a flat tire. I pulled into the closest parking lot and got out there was no flat tried to drive it and the parking brake was locked I took the brakes apart and the parking brake on the one side completely fell out in my hands. The brake clips ripped out of the dust cover and the adjuster fell into to the drum and locked the brakes up. Luckily I was only doing 30 when it happens and slowed down other wise if I was on the highway I could only imagine what would of happened.

My vehicle was in motion in a 45 MPH zone when, twice today, the brakes on my 2008 jeep patriot sank to the floor and braking was significantly reduced. I didn't even have to pump the brakes to get them to regain pressure after letting off the pedal; brakes worked on second attempt. Later down the road the failure occurred a second time. When I attempted to pump the brakes to build pressure, it was unnecessary ... The brakes worked on second attempt. My vehicle did not display any warning indicators at the time of the failure; neither the brake like, ABS light, or any other lamp on the dash was illuminated when the brakes failed. Usually in the rain, my patriot suffers from a stuttering and stalling issue that is reported by many jeep patriot owners, and has not been solved due to the irregularity of the problem. A direct cause for the issue is unknown and cannot be identified by the dealership or my regular mechanic.

I took my jeep patriot 2008 to get two new tires. I was told the rear axle is rusted and car unsafe to drive. Thank god I needed tires. With less than 100,000 miles on my jeep about 87,000 I do not feel this is regular wear and tear and is a definite safety concern.
