2009 Jeep Compass Limited – less than 70,000 Kms – undercoated by the
dealer when new. Just been told the front sub-frame, some call it a cradle
– Chrysler dealer calls it a K frame – is badly corroded, the frame on my
Jeep is rusting out. It must be replaced – it’s a safety issue. Frame and
sub frame rust and corrosion have been a problem in some Chrysler cars and
some Jeep models for years – Google shows dozens of complaints… Dealer
says no support from Chrysler on this. Beware!
Thanks again, Maybe Jeep needs you to design a sealed(protected)drain
channel system into the underbody of the jk. All those engineers & not one
thought of this? It seems that J. K owners know the vehicle better that its
designers.
make sure it’s bone dry before using the rubberized stuff… you’ll trap
moisture between the paint and the metal which can lead to more rust. I
tend to steer clear of that rubberized paint. go for something dry like
por15, eastwood internal frame coating, or a red oxide primer. check out my
vids
Thanks for the video, just sold my J.KU 09 & have a 2012 J.KUR on the way.
I had an electronic rust proofing system on it & was fine for the body but
the exposed underbody had some surface rust. I intend to coat the whole
underbody with Rustoleum & Rustoleum heat paint for the exhaust & then
rubberized paint over that except for the exhaust of-coarse. What do you
reckon?
