Problems with 1999 Jeep Wrangler STRUCTURE

I started hearing a banging/clanging noise under the rear of this vehicle upon starting/stopping or reversing. the noise is best described as a sharp metallic clang. undercar inspection revealed the frame has corroded to the point the upper control arm mounts have pulled away from the frame and the track bar that locates the axle side-to-side has separated from the rear axle housing along with the upper control arm mount separating from the axle housing. repair of this vehicle requires replacement of the frame along with replacement of the complete rear suspension and axle housing. this same vehicle was reported to you 03 november 2016 for the same issue involving the center section of the frame rusting through causing the transfer case mount/skid plate to drop. safety caps were installed on the frame at this time and the vehicle was placed back into service.

Jeep is a 5 speed transmission. couldn't shift correctly, heard a rattle. engine had fallen due to rusting frame. frame so rusted, engine fell. only 90,000 miles on vehicle. not driven daily. was in motion.

Jeep wrangler (tj body) 1999 frame rust i was driving the vehicle at interstate (68-72mph) speeds when a severe vibration started suddenly and the manual transmission shift lever dropped to a lower than normal position. i pulled off in a safe area and inspected first for a flat tire and then looked under the vehicle. i noted the right frame rail had rusted through from the inside and the transmission-transfer case mount/skid plate ass'y had separated from the right (passenger side frame rail and dropped approx. 2-3 inches. this caused severe driveline vibration and erratic vehicle control. *tr

The frame on my 1999 jeep wrangler tj is rotting through in several places. a vehicle only 15 years old normally has problems, but it should not be a frame rusting though. i am asking you to urge chrysler to do the right thing for me and many jeep owners who are also experiencing this problem and recall and replace the frames. other automobile manufacturers have done this as it is a safety issue and the right thing to do. thank you. *tr

During rain and traveling at normal speeds, vehicle starts to tak in water through body welds from floor board and bolts for passenger seat/ firewall leak was repaired by dealer, but body continues to leak uncontrollably/ new vehicle have same problem. review jep forums for proof.*ak

It seem like all of the exterior components painted black are now chipping. mainly on the passenger side mirror and on the brackets which hold the window in the hard top.*ak

A body seal on the passenger side allows water to enter the passenger side compartment (front and rear) causing inches of water to accumulate ruining the interior carpet. nlm

My 99' jeep has leaked water under the seats from the day i bought the car. i had 4 repair attempts where they replaced the door seals x 2, sanded the door frame, resealed the windshield, sealed the seams under the wheels and replaced the carpet 3 times. the car still leaked. i have sent a letter of defect to the manufacture and after the 5 and finial repair attempt the jeep still leaked water under the seats. chrysler even had an engineer fly down to the service shop and look at the jeep. he told me the leak was fixed. yesterday it rained and after driving through some puddles water still leaked under the seats. *ak

The floor leaked from the time of purchase, the carpet was ruined, the dealership has replaced the carpet and "fixed" the leak twice, i still do not know if it has been properly repaired as for it has not rained since the last repair was completed. the dealership also confirmed that they have seen several jeeps with the same problem returned for repair. if the dealership is aware of this problem then why has there not been a recall issued by chrysler ???
