Consumer Description

The rear subframe has corroded through, causing the entire weight of the rear body to be improperly distributed. Per the Jeep service tech, this could cause a wheel to collapse. The vehicle is available for inspection at time of writing this. Jeep has inspected the vehicle and quoted for repair at $4,439.16. The only reason we were even made aware was because the vehicle had a flat tire and the tire shop noted the severe rust damage to the rear subframe. Jeep has acknowledged this as an issue and has released a Service Bulletin (23-007-17 Rev.B) which has now expired and owners were not notified of the potential problem.
