Electrical Jack Problems of Jeep Wrangler

I know the Jeep is a 2002, but this rusting, to be this bad, had to have started awhile ago. I went to have two new tires installed and was told by the shop that they could not jack or lift the vehicle due to the rust. This is part of the frame, god forbid if it would have failed. It is so rusted that I can put my finger through the frame in spots. I do not use the Jeep for off road activities nor park it in the ocean. I also wash the road salt off during the winter. I have included pictures of the rusted pass side and the not too rusted driver side. This is just an around town vehicle. This is ridiculous and Jeep should be ashamed to release a vehicle with such a dangerous defect. I wonder if this is a vehicle from a flood. For this amount of deterioration, I would not doubt it and I will try to find out. Thanks for any help you can provide.

At approximately 60k miles my 2013 Jeep Wrangler sport unlimited started "stalling" inexplicably. When this happens you lose all throttle control, and your power steering. Which can be challenging when your in the left hand lane of a four lane interstate going 65mph. This caused a tractor trailor to jack knife and slide down the interstate. . . Luckily, I and the few others on the road at the time survived. After taking my vehicle in for the fifth time for the same problem I started researching myself. I was shocked to find it appears to be an epidemic problem with the 12-14 Jeeps with the new pentastar engines. It also appears that no fca/Jeep dealership in the country has figured it out. If those were the first with the new motor, it stands to reason if it doesn't appear there is a fix, that it will continue. And I can tell you from personal experience, people are going to die from this safety issue. This typically happens when down shifting to get power, or when shifting into gear after backing out of a parking stall. The throttle is lost completely and the power steering as well. You can try to crank the vehicle, but it will not start until after about five to ten minutes. It will then start up and drive like nothing happened. No codes are shown and dealerships have no way to identify the problem unless they can replicate it. That would be the beginning anyway. Some serious effort needs to be put into this, again, it doesn't appear to be being addressed, and it will only get worse as the Jeeps from 2012 on get older and get to the 60k range.

2008 Jeep Wrangler jk, equipment. The provided floor jack to change tires is insufficient. When placed in the recommended position to raise the vehicle (location in the owner's manual) the jack at full extension is not long enough to raise the vehicle. At full extension (also not recommended in the owner's manual) causes an unstable jack which increases the risk of the vehicle falling. The provided jack is too short making it unusable. To use the jack, you'd have to put makeshift blocks under it to raise it (not recommended), or buy an aftermarket jack. Hopefully, no one's been hurt yet.
