What owners wrote
Consumer states while driving at 50 MPH front end of the vehicle began to shake violently out of control, causing vehicle to fall into a ditch. Cause unkwown.
For a popular on and off road vehicle which has a reputation for strength and durability, why would the frame, the very foundation of the entire vehicle, be so susceptible to rusting out and making said vehicle unsafe to drive. Not cool , jeep, not cool.
