Problem overview

Some 2006 Jeep Liberty owners report experiencing structural rot under the doors and rocker panels, which can compromise the vehicle's safety and integrity. These issues, often caused by rust or corrosion, may weaken the overall structure, posing significant risks, especially in the event of a collision. Owners have noted that prompt attention to under-body rust is crucial to prevent further deterioration and costly repairs. While some opt for professional services that specialize in rust repair, others attempt do-it-yourself solutions, such as sanding rusted areas and applying protective coatings like POR-15. However, it is essential that these repairs are executed effectively to maintain safety. Regular inspections and timely interventions are recommended to ensure the structural integrity of the Jeep Liberty and the safety of its occupants.
