Consumer Description

THE FORWARD 'K' FRAME THAT SUPPORTS THE ENGINE AND LOWER SUSPENSION HAS TO A POINT THAT IT IS NO LONGER SAFE. I CAN USE A SMALL HAMMER AND KNOCK HOLES IN IT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS, BUT WHEN I STARTED LOOKING AROUND IT APPEARS THAT MANY OTHER HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT APPEARS THAT THIS WAS COVERED IN A 2007 RECALL, BUT NOT THE 2008. I REPORTED THIS THE DAY I FOUND IT WHILE DOING MAINTENANCE ON MY SON-IN-LAW'S JEEP.
