Description of the problem	Was told by my mechanic frame is rusting from the inside out, and the frame will fail in the near future. I understand this is a on going problem with jeep wranglers of multiple years due to the fact there were never drain holes providing drainage for the water, also lack of any rust coating to the inside of frame. In penn. You can not sell a car with frame damage. I'm not sure what i'm going to do. I feel that jeep should help with the repair or replacement of the frame.
