Your Jeep's frame is rusting away from the inside due to water getting trapped and not draining properly—a design issue with how the frame is structured. You've already had sections welded, but your mechanic found the entire bottom of the frame is corroded with holes developing. If left unchecked, this rust could eventually cause your transmission to lose support or your front wheels to fail, creating a serious safety hazard. Fixing this typically requires either welding patches onto the damaged frame sections or in severe cases, replacing the entire frame.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE RETURNED IT FOR SERVICE 4 TIMES, AND NEED TO BRING IT BACK IN AGAIN. FIRST THEY SAID IT WAS A SOLENOID. THEN THEY TRACED ALL OF THE WIRING. THE TIME AFTER THAT THEY REPLACED THE MODULE. NEXT THEY REPLACED ALL OF THE SPARK PLUGS (RECALL SERVICE). THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS 2-3 WEEKS AGO, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALREADY BACK ON. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE HAS BEEN GOOD, BUT THEY NOR CHRYSLER SEEM TO KNOW WHY THIS IS OCCURRING. *AK
