Description of the problem	Jeep grand cherokee laredo 2011 - serious front critical suspension connectivity point corrosion / binding (latest 12/2015) very serious problem, extensive corrosion with key front suspension connectivity (lower control arm main bolt/frame connection, both sides). Issue so bad an ever-growing binding creaking noise became audible from the cabin. Sound audible when accelerating and stopping. Several dealer efforts to begin to address with service efforts spanning nearly 1. 5 years. Very concerning as this is a critical suspension connectivity point, if it fails the front end would collapse. Servicing dealer victory chrysler able to diagnose shared how extensive corrosion is but could not explain why this corrosion and binding occurred. Suggested we speak to chrysler, which we did to no avail (see other attached). We asked chrysler to investigate, they did not. We shared very much detail just as done here. We asked for monies spent returned as this was not covered under warranty, they did not return monies. At minimum this is a serious water control issue, and at worst a serious design/manufacturing defect which could affect thousands. No fix shared, victory chrysler noted to us the best they can do is pull the bolts again in the future and clean/lube if possible. Notice at 1:40, in the video clip following, the recording on the colder day how loud it is. There is no reason for such severe corrosion here aside from a design flaw or manufacturing issue. We appreciate nhtsa's time to review our report and help seek resolution. Short video clip illustrating noise heard: http://78449. Choruscall. Com/dataconf/productusers/ecarmack/media/nhtsa_dec_2015.
