The Wrangler frame is extremely prone to rust and is very easily rotted out over the years. I believe this is due to a design flaw on Chrysler part. There are no drainage points at the lowest parts of the frame which holds in water and road salt and accelerates rust.

Wrangler 6-cyl

  • 92,000 miles
All Jeep Wrangler from 1987-2006 have a major problem with the frames rusting out cause them to be unsafe for driving on public road unless the frame is repaired or replaced, my frame on my 2001 Jeep rusted out with only 92000 miles on it. This is caused by the frame not being preped, painted, and designed properly allowing water to sit in the frame because there are no drain holes at the lowest point of the frame.

Wrangler 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,000 miles
Driving through water results in chronic water accumulation in vehicle (front driver & passenger floor, rear driver & passenger floor, and tailgate floor). This began the very first time I drove through water with the vehicle. That was over 2 years ago. Since then, this problem has plagued my vehicle... occuring at least 3 major times since then. As a result, I've had damage to whatever happened to be on the floor at the time (books, clothes, shoes, wallet, purse). Not to mention the smell!
