Severe rust to vehicle frame common to this vehicle, no accident. Rust has corroded frame despite normal use and normal care. Vehicle hasn't reached 75k miles yet, and the frame is failing. How is this not a recall?.

2 Body problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2019

Suspension cross member frame, struts, bushings & sway bar. Took car in for routine oil change. Mechanic inspected car & noticed severe rusting on front cross member. So, bad that my car was not safe to drive. I was told there was a recent recall from Dodge that had expired in 2018. I never saw this recall notice. I did get the airbag recall notice & took my car ro Dodge to fix in spring 2018. They could have fixed the crossmember at that time. The mechanic also had to replace struts, bushing & suspension stabilizer sway bar as a result of the rusted suspension cross member.

3 Body problem

Failure Date: 03/17/2018

Frame where lower control arm bolts on rusted through and cracked. Wheel on front driver side suddenly lost alignment while driving straight down a road in lansing. I'm lucky it didn't come completely off as I was driving at 45 mph directly after driving at slower speeds with many turns in east lansing.

4 Body problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2015

When its rains it leaks from the sunroof into the light. Struts are out abs light on brakes have been fixed.

5 Body problem

Failure Date: 02/15/2015

The front passenger side door won't shut right,when you shut you have to do it hard or it won't latch then when you open it just pops open. Ive had it in the shop where I bought it and they said it was just off balance and readjusted it but it never helped. I just read on this website that the rod in the door has been recalled.

6 Body problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2014

I had took my car to get service at jiffy lube with a air filter and oil change. When driving to school I slowly started to notice a strange smell and decided to return to jiffy lube. Well on my way the problem increased and smoke and flames started appearing, that's when I quickly got out the car and called 911. I had only made it a block away from reaching jiffy lube when incident occurred .
