Adaptive Cruise Control problem

The crossmember- engine cradle that hold the engine in place. I heard a noise and took it to my mechanic he took pictures of the crossmember showing that it is rusted through showing holes. Took it in to a Jeep dealer to have it diganosed, they confirmed that it is unsafe to drive as the engine can actually fall out. I contacted Chrysler and they said that there was an extension of the warranty on this part that expired a month ago. They sent me to mopar parts to see if they would pay for the repair. After days they rejected the claim. Now this car is 10 years old however it only has 48000 miles which is less than 5000 miles a year. I bought the car bran new. So it all rusted through on a car with only the 48000 miles. At best this should have been a recall. But at least customers owning this car should have been notified about this warranty extension so they could have had it checked and reparied before some one is killed driving a car that the engine could fall out on the road. Now mopar is refusing to cover the cost of fixing it because the warranty extension expired a month and a half ago . Even though they know there is a problem with it. I feel that I need some help in making mopar or Chrysler pay to have this work completed. I also have had to replace the 4 wheel drive as that went bad along with replacing the rear axles as they also rusted.
