Apparently all Patriots under side have started rusting.

Rust seems to be a constant problem with this car. I have had to replace upper arm controls, lower arm controls because of rust. Now the engine cradle is all rusted out. I haven't had it fixed yet, so I don't know what else we'll find once they get into it. I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty that has had fewer rust problems in parts than this car has had.
