Consumer Description

I HEARD SOME NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR AT LOW SPEEDS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC WHO DISCOVERED A GIANT CRACK IN THE A-FRAME, APPARENTLY DUE TO CORROSION. IT LOOKS LIKE THE METAL JUST RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THIS FRAME HOLDS THE SUSPENSION TOGETHER, SO THE WHEEL COULD FALL OFF NOW THAT THE FRAME IS CRACKED. THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT 68,000 MILES OF A WELL-MAINTAINED CAR. THE REALLY BAD PART IS THAT THE PART PROBABLY ISN'T COVERED BY WARRANTY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND THE PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY JEEP. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. *TR
