What owners report
THE FRONT SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED HOME BECAUSE THE FRONT WHEELS LOOK LIKE A BOW-LEGGED COWBOY BECAUSE THE SUBFRAME BASICALLY SNAPPED AS WE WERE DRIVING. APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE AND JEEP REFUSES TO RECALL THIS. 2007 HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY EXTENDED A "WARRANTY" TO GET THIS FIXED. 2009 IS MADE, OBVIOUSLY WITH THE SAME JUNK METAL, AND YET THEY REFUSE TO FIX THEIR INCOMPETENCE. WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED DUE TO THIS NEGLIGENCE. NOT HAPPY JEEP.
SUBFRAME IS FRONT OF CAR IS ROTTED OUT. HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE.
WHEN COMING TO A QUICK STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A VERY ROUGH ROAD SURFACE, A LOUD CLUNK IN THE FRONT END WAS HEARD. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE TURNED RIGHT TO GO STRAIGHT, ALONG WITH A LOUD TIRE SQUEAL. WE PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO FIND THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WAS CONTACTING THE REAR OF THE WHEEL WELL. INSPECTION UNDERNEATH REVEALED A ROTTED OUT SUBFRAME/CROSSMEMBER WHICH IS SPLIT ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE BACK. IT ALSO HAS SOME LEAKING FLUID COMING DOWN FROM ABOVE THE CROSSMEMBER WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THIS IS SATURDAY AND THE INCIDENT WAS FOLLOWED BY A $135 FLATBED TRIP TO A DEALERSHIP FOR WHAT SHOULD BE AN INTERESTING MONDAY MORNING CONVERSATION ABOU
FRONT SUBFRAME IS ROTTED OUT DUE TO CONDENSER DRAIN DRIPPING ON IT. FOUND OUT 9/3/ 17 DURING OIL CHANGE. WAS SERVICE BULLETIN 23-012-14 FOR THIS BUT ON VEHICLES AFTER 8/25/2005 AND BEFORE 7/23/2007. SEE ? BELOW WHEN HAPPENED. I JUST FOUND OUT
THE REAR SUB FRAME RUSTED OUT AND HAVE WAY WHILE MY NIECE WAS DRIVING IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. AND TO NEW OF A CAR FOR THIS. THE REAR SUB FRAME GAVE OUT WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING.
