Model Year	2008

Description of the problem	While in motion, a clunking noise was heard in rear end. Independent garage (zeller auto center,616 main st., torrinton, ct. 06790, 860-489-0204) diagnosed a rusted and rotted rear subframe. Internet check revealed other owners of this model experienced the same probem. Jeep issued an extended warrantee for 10 years from production date. No notice to vehicle owners! Contacted jeep (case #57633304) and they advised that extended warrantee for this car expired on 12/28/17 and they would not make an extension. They stated that a recall was not needed when an extended warrantee was issued. I think a recall is needed so that other owners of this vehicle can be warned of the rusting subframe problem before an accident and injuries occur.
