| I own a 2000 jeep wrangler which i bought new. recently i began having trouble shifting into second gear and sometimes it would pop out while driving. soon after i began to have brake issues and had a mechanic look at it. he said he had never seen a jeep rusted out so bad with so few miles on it and said it was a hazard to drive. he said the brake lines were rusted through as well as the support for the transmission . he said the frame was in terrible shape and said i was lucky the thing didn't fall apart while i was driving it. this vehicle only has 85,000 miles on it. | |||

| The jeep has only 70,000 miles on it and is in good shape execpt for the frame is rusted out and my husband had to weld some support bars where the frame was rusted out. is there any kind of safety recall that we can come back on the dealer with this? we have only had this jeep for about 3 months. | |||

| Frame and supports rusted to the point of offering no structural integrety of undercarriage. frame on driverside at skid plate rusted allowing the skid plate to fall. observed severe rust-through of frame along frame where skid plate had been bolted. also transmission support failed. have previously replaced failed brake lines which rusted through. i have parked the vehicle as it is unsafe. i think i realized it too late, however soon enough to have prevented a major accident. warnings need to be issued immediately of these and other defects which have been noted by jeep owners, especially for potential buyers. the frame apparently rust from inside out leaving little indication of severity. | |||
