Description of the problem	Frame weld deficiencies on 2018 jl jeep wrangler rubicon 4dr built 01/31/18 summary a defect petition was received by the office of defects investigation (odi) requesting a formal investigation of model year 2018jl jeep wrangler vehicles for the existence of weld related safety defects located on the vehicle frame. The petitioner alleges widespread weld defects across "nearly all" 2018 jeep wrangler (specifically jl family code) vehicle frames. The petition describes a broad list of frame weld deficiencies, including porous welds, excessive slag, lack of weld penetration, over penetration of welds, overweld or weld drip, and weld splash. The weld defects are allegedly located at a variety of locations on the frame assembly including the track bar bracket welds that have broken and resulted in steering concerns (see nhtsa safety recall 18v-675). The petitioner alleges that the existence of the described weld defects could result in "catastrophic failure." this defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petitioner's request. The complaints (voq reports) cited above can be reviewed at nhtsa. Gov under the following reference (odi) numbers: 11140057, 11076098. Note: we have the same issue! We opened 2 fca cases # 35210825 09/25/18) and # 7245792 on 10/22/18 (all are with the fca premium premier team case manager. The dealership has not followed up - we escalated and they are to schedule a fca rep to come to the dealership. No response from dealership since 11/27/18 after mutiple phone calls or e-mails. Will have to show up in person again. Unbelievable in 2018 - there is no quality control on the most important part of the vehicle - the frame. No other reputable manufacturer would allow this - jeep needs to correct, refund (buy back the vehicles) , or replace with new ones correctly manufactured.
