Consumer Description

Took vehicle to fix a power steering leak at the Jeep dealership. The technician was troubleshooting the issue and found that the lower sub frame crossmember assembly was almost completely rusted. They indicated if riding on rough roads a hitting a pot hole it would break completely and cause major damage and a driving safety issue. Went ahead and got the repair completed which was extremely expensive. This was a major safety issue.
