I was driving to work dec 23 morning and rear sub frame broke away from control arm sending me in the ditch..lucky it was 25 MPH. Had local chrysler dealer look at it and because it was.made it canada they won't fix it under the extended warrnty.. I just got this in june, and still owe 6500 on it.. Chrysler needed to step up.. What does it matter were the jeep was made.your parts were the problem so fix it..I could have died because of frame rot.. Never had a issue in my 95 blazer!!
In the last four years, I have had to replace the control arms on both the driver side and the passenger side, I just found out that both are need of replacement again and it the cost is out of this world. Jeep needs to take care of this. I understand I am not the only one with this issue.
