Consumer Description

FRAME IS RUSTING DUE TO LACK OF ENGINEERING AND ABSENCE OF DRAIN HOLES IN PROPER LOCATIONS. INSIDE OF FRAME IS FLAKING OFF AROUND CONTROL ARM FRAME MOUNTS FRONT AND BACK. JEEP IS GARAGE KEPT AND TAKEN CARE OF. WATER POOLS UP AND HAS NO WHERE TO GO SO A HOLE HAS RUST THROUGH PASSENGER SIDE FRONT BEHIND CONTROL ARM MOUNT. LOTS OF FLAKING OFF FROM INSIDE OF FRAME. INCREDIBLY BAD PLANNING ON MANUFACTURER'S PART AND NOW I HAVE A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT SOME MAJOR FRAME WORK TO PERFORM. TOYOTA TRUCKS HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE FRAME.
