I have a Jeep that has a frame that is rusted in the rear trailing arms and were the transmision is held. No incident has happened yet but if this were to break on the road could cause an accident. I work for Hyundai who has a recall on quite a few cars and suvs for the frame rotting out on cars as old as 2000 I also no Toyota and Nissan and other manufactors have recalls on frames why not Jeep I realize it may be specific to salt belt areas but those other compaines are fixing the problem. Also the climate controll melted could have caused a fire I know this is also a common problem.
Frame rusted on both driver and passenger side at brush guard/trans support, and transmission dropped while driving. Bottom of frame under driver/passenger seat were brush guard attaches is completely rusted away and the frame has started to crack up the sides. I would think this would be a crash safety issue. I have never seen a frame completely rust away on a 14 year old car.
My frame rusted out. This is a common problem on Jeep Wranglers. I was lucky enough to be in the process of changing my transmission fluid when I found the issue. The part of the frame where the transmission mount attaches to completely rusted through and nothing was holding the transmission/rear engine mount to the frame.
Consumer stated the speedmeter was not functioning properly.
