Consumer Description

DURING VEHICLE INSPECTION THE REAR CROSS MEMBER WAS FOUND TO HAVE RUSTED THROUGH. THE FRONT CROSS MEMBER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS REPLACED IN 2016 UNDER A CAMPAIGN THROUGH JEEP. NOT A RECALL THOUGH. NOW TWO YEARS LATER THE REAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM BUT IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT HAD A TEN YEAR EXPIRATION FROM DATE OF MANUFACTURE. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT FROM JEEP AND SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD A TIME LIMIT PLACED ON IT. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED. JEEP KNOWS THEY ARE DEFECTIVE ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME.
