| Description of the problem | My rear passenger side axle broke. And it needed a sway bar link for the same side. I bought a new axle and sway bar link. My mechanic took off my tire to fix the parts and said that the frame or sub frame is completely corroded and unable to hold the sway bar link because there is no place to attach it. Yesterday i went to the store and the new axle broke while driving. Very unsafe and when i bought this vehicle in may 2018 i was not told about it. I had the jeep inside a shop to fix my slave cylinder in nov. 2019 and a few other things and they never even told me how bad it looked under the vehicle. I have called jeep customer service and was told there is no recall on my jeep. But when i did some research everyone has had the same issue i am having. There was a recall on all jeeps for the sub frame rusting out. And every customer said jeep wouldn't help |
