Purchased a 2007 jeep compass 2nd hand and found rear subframe and suspension parts is severely rusted . The vehicle clunks and hopps with every bump in the road. If you run over the reflectors while changing lanes vehicle will abruptly jerk in the direction you are going. Took it to jeep there was a recall for this problem that expired in 2017 I don't think there should be an expiration date for a safety hazard that thousands of jeeps and or dodges have they told me they cant help me. *Tr
