I DROVE FOR SEVERAL HOURS WHEN MY CAR STARTED SLIDING TO THE SIDE. I STOPPED TO CHECK AND BOTH MY BACK TIRES WERE ANGLED INWARD AND COMPLETELY RUINED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC FOR ALIGNMENT, BUT HE COULD NOT MOVE THE PARTS DUE TO AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF RUST. HE MENTIONED THAT THE WHOLE SUBFRAME AND ARMS HAD HEAVY CORROSION AND WHOLE AND THE PIECES COULD BREAK ANYTIME SOON AND I SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING THE CAR. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IS APPLICABLE TO THE K FRAME FOR THE MODEL OF MY CAR BUT JEEP WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY ON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE. I HAVEN'T DROVE THE CAR SINCE.

UPON AN INSPECTION OF THE UNDERNEATH OF MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS, IT WAS FOUND THAT MY FRONT SUB FRAME (ALSO KNOWN AS THE K FRAME) HAS SERIOUS RUST ISSUES. THERE IS ACTUALLY A SECTION ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SUB FRAME THAT HAS RUSTED OUT (APPROX. 1/2 INCH BY 4 INCH IN SIZE). AFTER SOME INVESTIGATING ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT JEEP HAS NOT RECALLED THIS ISSUE. I WILL BE REPLACING THE PART BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR
