Consumer Description

I took Jeep 2011with only 77,000 miles on it in for new brakes and was told that the REAR SUB FRAME and CROSS MEMBER BAR are completely RUSTED OUT and that it needs to be replaced. according to my own online research this seems to be a VERY COMMON PROBLEM with Jeeps. Perhaps this warrants a recall. Thank you.
