When I was driving straight down the street going about 35 MPH, I heard a loud explosions like noise and then my jeep became disabled. I took the vehicle to the shop and I was told that the vehicle was totaled and that the body and frame of the vehicle had completely separated itself from the vehicle. I have been told by several people who have inspected my vehicle including the dealership and insurance company that this is a manufacturer defect to my vehicle. Everyone who has inspected the vehicle has stated they have never in life seen a vehicle come apart the way my jeep has and it should have never happened. The dealership and I have been trying since october 6, 2020 to get mophar and fca customer care to take responsibility for the vehicle and send an engineer out to inspect the vehicle for recall. The dealership has explained to me that the vehicle has slowly been separating itself from the body due to a manufacturing defect.

I have two major issues. The first being that the leather on my dash has completely shriveled up into weird bumps and looks horrible. I'm not sure what would of caused it because it is something that I have never seen before. The second thing is that my back right suspension is messed up. The back left side of my jeep sags when I put it in park and as it lowers into park level.

We were driving in the express highway pr 30, at a speed of 45 to 50 MPH, in the direction of humacao towards caguas, we heard a loud noise at the back part of the vehicle (sound it as an impact). The vehicle started making a loud noise. We were able to control the vehicle and park in the area of stops for emergencies. When we inspect the vehicle we noticed that all the rear suspension was on the differential and the escape (muffle). The two structural supports on both sides of the rear suspension were broken. We called a crane and when we got to the flat bed we could see that the chassis had split on both sides of the vehicle. The structural basis of the crossmember in the chassis were broken. The force was so great that the crossmember broke the differential and the muffler.
