Description of the problem	On 9-26-18 i purchased a new 2018 jeep wrangler rubicon. A friend of mine told me to do a data search for an upcoming recall concerning the front track bar bracket. I see that 18v-675 dated 9-28-18 was issued. Fca recall #ua5. Mine is one of the recalled jeeps. However, i proceeded to inspect the track bar welding and identify what the problem is and check for separated welds no welds, etc. While under the jeep i discovered other issues that will cause future significant safety issues with the vehicle. Such as frame failure or other components attached to the frame failing due to poor welding techniques as well as premature corrosion. These potential failures may result in significant injuries to the occupant(s) of the vehicle. On the frame, many welds appear to be inferior, such as perforated welds, missing welds, welds that are not complete leaving gaps between the edges of the frame. Additionally, in many areas of the frame, the paint has flaked off of the welds and is now starting to rust. I have had this vehicle for 3 weeks with 500 miles on it. It has been street driven only. With the current recall for the track bar, the dealer advised not to take it off road. On 10-17-18 i emailed pictures to the dealer as well as paid them a visit. I have supplied the dealer with pictures and have an appointment on 11-6-18 for them to look at it. I am extremely concerned that the dealer may attempt to weld these areas. And that if attempted, would only blister off any paint on the inside of the frame that could not be seen or primed and repainted properly. As this is a box frame and i believe it has to be dipped to be primed and painted on the inner side of the frame. Any other method that may be utilized would not be the same nor would it offer the same amount of corrosion protection as what the factory methodology utilizes.
