Frame Rust problems of the 2018 Jeep Wrangler

A significant amount of frame welds are rusting less than 1 year after purchase.

Heavy amount of rust throughout the bottom of the vehicle. Rust is located on frame welds, suspension connection brackets, and axel components. Photos were taken 10 days after purchasing from the dealership. I took the Jeep back and asked them to make sure everything was safe. The dealership looked at me like I was crazy and said yep that is normal to have rust. I asked it is normal to have this much rust on a brand new car. That is crazy. The steering jerks to the right and left constantly and you are always having to fight it to stay in a straight line. I have read from other report that this has become a common problem for this model year. I hope this issue will be resolved. I bought my car on 06/29/2019. The photos that are attached for your review were taken on 07/11/2019 thanks andrew howe howebvfd@gmail. Com 1-707-326-9708.

~tl the contact owned a 2018 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that there was rust on the frame welds and no protective undercoating. The dealer (Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram of kirkland, 12828 ne 124th st, kirkland, wa 98034, (877) 606-8196) did not provide a remedy, but offered to order a new vehicle.

The dealer and manufacturer did not provide a replacement vehicle and placed the contact's vehicle back on the market to be sold.

Jeep Wrangler jl has poor welds on the frame around major components that will appear to fail. 2 welds appear to have been poorly repaired during manufacture and are rusting at major connection points to suspension components. This will lead to catastrophic failure while driving under normal driving conditions. Recommend investigation by NHTSA and recall. I am currently pursuing lemon law in north carolina. �poor track bar bracket welds that have broken and will cause complete loss of steering. �porous welds exceeding safety standards that could lead to catastrophic failure. �slag on nearly every weld on the frame which paint will not adhere to. This will eventually cause rusting of the frame at the welds leading to potential catastrophic failure. �lack of penetration on some welds that could lead to catastrophic failure �over penetration on some welds that could lead to catastrophic failure �overweld or weld drip on several welds �weld splash on various part of the frame that will result in lack of long term paint adherence and increased likelihood of rusting of the frame.

Rust on the frame (mainly the welds) and hubs. The doors leak on drivers and passengers floor when opened during rain. Steering has play when going through turns while maintaining highway speeds.
