Consumer Description

MY 2018 JEEP WRANGLER WAS PURCHASED IN JULY 2019 AND THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING I NOTICED THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE JEEP'S FRAME APPEARED TO BE RUSTY. FIRST OWNER, HAD NOT BEEN THROUGH A MICHIGAN WINTER... YET. RECENTLY THE JEEP STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH LEAKING COOLANT AND ONCE I GOT UNDER THE VEHICLE, I WAS IN COMPLETE SHOCK WITH THE APPEARANCE OF THE FRAME. IT STILL IS RUSTY BUT THE ENTIRE FRAME LOOKED LIKE A 6TH GRADE ASPIRING ENGINEER DESIGNED THE VEHICLE AND USED PARTS FROM GRANDPAS GARAGE TO CONSTRUCT THE FRAME. THERE HAS GOT TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE FRAME OF 2018 JEEP WRANGLERS.
