You pay good money for a Jeep! The frame is rusted from front to back and it broke where rear end is. The front leaf spring fell out, because it's so rusted. The body is good and engine is great, but it has the death wobble, but at 55-60 it shakes so bad you have to pull off road. I replaced the suspension bar, but it still does it. The right side broke completely, the driver side broke but not completely through. I live in southern part of KY, so our winters are not that bad.

Update from Feb 18, 2020: This was on a 2002 Wrangler.

Garage kept, not a daily driver, no off-road, washed and waxed regularly, well maintained, adult driven. Engine runs like new but now is not driveable because the skid fell off on the driver side and barely holding on the passenger side (by one bolt on a severely rusted frame.

The truth is, since it never gave me any trouble (it shouldn't have since it is hardly driven) I never bother to check under the jeep till now. WTF, Chrysler! Jeeps are overpriced to begin with and that is fair since we pay for a fun ride but shouldn't your customers expect a better product also? I am going to suck it up and fix it but will dump this rust bucket as soon as I save enough to buy a better made vehicle. Never a Jeep or Chrysler again. NEVER!

Live in Indiana and bought Jeep new in 2002. Went today to have two new tires put on and was told they could not lift or jack the jeep up, due to the amount of rust on the frame. They showed me the problem and I can put my fingers through the frame and it is also rusted through in areas. I've never abused the vehicle by off-road thru mud, water, etc. The passenger side at this area is rusted out, while the driver side is not. What gives. Once I was able to get under the vehicle at the shop, I could see how most of the frame and components are rusted. It's disgusting that this could happen even though the jeep is 15 years old. For this to be that rusted, the metal would have to be faulty. Either that or I parked my jeep in salt water every night. Just another example of America heading down the tubes. I'll take it to a dealer to look at, but I'm sure they'll just use their only response: " Must be your driving habits"

I have a 2002 Jeep Wrangler that I LOVE like my child...I have owned it for 7yrs.We have just recently discovered a serious rusting problem on the frame behind the right front tire,almost to the back on both sides.I have no other option but to keep driving it,and hope for the best,Is this not something that Chrysler should be recalling these Jeeps for?After searching the Internet,it appears this is a very widespread,and common problem with several different brands of Jeeps.I am desperate to talk to somebody about getting this repaired,and I can't afford it...Please advise me what to do before I possibly hurt myself and a lot of other folks on the road.SHAME ON CHRYSLER for selling us all a cheap piece of CRAP..
