FRONT END CROSSMEMBER OR ALSO CALLED SUBFRAME HAS ROTTED AND RUSTED CLEAR THROUGH AT JUST OVER 10 YEARS OLD I WAS INFORMED BY CAR MECHANIC. JEEP ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE WITH THE BAD SUBFRAMES AND PUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON IT. THAT ONLY LASTED 10 YEARS. SO CAR IS NOW UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD AND REPAIRS ARE MORE THEN CARS WORTH. HAVE READ 1,000S OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR SAME ISSUE WITH 2007 AND 2008 COMPASSES.
