2 Frame Rust problem

Failure Date: 03/22/2021

The subframe and rear are rusting and the vehicle won't pass inspection and the vehicle is dangerous on the road if the vehicle passes inspection and out of no wear the rust hits and the vehicle is now very unsafe. Jeep knows about the issue but has never issued a recall. They really should issue a recall. Thanks.

I have notice a recall on frobt and rear subframe rust and prefoartions and cross memver. Mechanic says subfranes are rusted all the through and broke. He states car is too new for this to be gappening. Jeep has been a hassle-sibe already replaced $1500 worth of2 a arns/control arns at firestone. Bidy is rusting and car is well cared fir- sibe I have been fighting cancer and this is and has been my onlt transportation fir car. I am asking why nt car is not under any of the recalks but ine cheaper service recalk-as it certainly falls under all the recalls currently the 2011 heep Patriot has on it. Ver disappointed and would appreciate any help I can receive in this matter. Also-Jeep has always oulled to the right since I bought it-got car alignment still oulls to the right. Again-Jeep has been a gassle to own. I biught brand new.
