Consumer Description

I’m the third owner of the vehicle. Didn’t know there was a rust problem on the subframe that holds the engine mount. During most recent oil change noticed the frame was rusting through. Called fca and the extended warranty they sent to the other owners expired 5 months previous to me noticing the problem. They wouldn’t make exception to the warranty even though I had no previous knowledge that this was an issue. Car is in great condition except the possibility of the engine falling out of car. No rust on the car except for the frame where the air conditioning drips.
