 Description of the problemWelds on 2018 jeep wrangler jlu sport frame are bad in many ways. Problems include: -incomplete weld if track bar weld which could cause failure and loss of steering control -porous welds - many of the welds are porous -lack of penetration -overweld aka weld drip -nearly 90% of the welds have weld slag that was not cleaned off before painting. Resulting in parts of the weld not being painted and prone to rust and eventual faulure -there is also a great deal of weld spray that should have been cleaned off -there are also welds that were not completed... For instance there is one on each side in the rear where they only welded half of the tubing that should have received a complete weld around its circumference. Welds were examined by prestige jeep and a district rep who said their were fine however this was not a certified welding inspector. Case was brought to the attention of jeep cares/jeep waves who looked over some 160 photos i sent of the welds at which point they said this isn't a concern. Irregardless of the safety issues... At minimum there should be paint on the welds on my frame. The safety issues themselves are frightening as one other owner of the same vehicle has already had his track bar bracket break off while driving down the freeway. He is lucky to be alive. I have many photos that i am happy to send in however, your site only allows 5. This jeep is 3 weeks old at the time of these photos and has seen rain 4 times. As you can see in the pictures there are holes and porosity in these welds. The copper spots on the welds are slag that should have been cleaned off before paint as paint will not adhere strongly to slag and when the slag falls off it will leave the welds uncovered. Jeep is refusing to take care of the issue and i am now searching for a certified welding inspector to examine before bring it to the associated press
