What owners wrote
Driver was going at approximately 35 MPH and approached a slight curve and the entire left rear wheel separated from the axle causing the driver to lose control causing the vehicle to flip down and again it flipped back up, totaling the vehicle. Provide further details.
I have a 2000 jeep wrangler with only 44,500 miles. Although it has been driven in the snow occasionally, it is not a daily driver and is kept in a garage. The frame has rusted through on both sides at the attachment point of the rear axle lower control arms. This seems to be a common problem in all jeep tj type wranglers and is attributed to the lack of drain holes in the frame. Perhaps a recall should be considered as this could cause a loss of control.
