I had a loud grinding in the drivetrain and expected my mechanic to tell me I needed a re-build of something. It turned out to be a rusted frame problem.In his description he said "Frame badly rusted out, cross member under transfer case, bolts pulled out of rusted frame". He said (as others have) the frame was poorly designed- there should have been drain holes for the water to escape. It was bad enough for my transmission to hit the ground if i hit a bump too hard. I wonder how many people don't even know about this defect, or how many accidents may have happened because of the rusted frames.
Buying my Jeep new as a retirement present for myself in 2001, I am the original and only owner.
My Jeep is in otherwise beautiful shape with only 89,000 miles. I've spent thousands having it customized to suit my needs so going off-road alone wouldn't be a problem. Last year I bought a teardrop trailer to finally be able to take my dream vacation this fall- and now THIS!
THIS should be a real safety issue, and subject to recall. There is no way the body of an automobile should out-live the frame-ESPECIALLY a Jeep! The ad's show Jeeps barrelling through mud and water, so if anyone should have a frame to last, it sure as hell should have been JEEP!
We need a class-action suit.
