I've seen prices on here in the $1400 range for this sort of frame repair. Trouble is, there may be other things that are pretty well worn. It might be wise to fix those things while it's apart rather than pay for redundant labor as those other parts fail.

Personally, I like to keep a vehicle running as long as I can.

Your vehicle is less than 10 years old. Are you the original owner? If so, you might be covered by the extended warranty. Maybe reach out to @JeepCares. Have your VIN number for them.

We like good news!

Lest anyone think otherwise, the work is not (yet anyway) being picked up monetarily by anyone of the Chrysler Corporation. And the estimated cost is really large - almost insane except I'll be getting an almost new vehicle for a lot less than what an actual new Jeep will cost. If @JeepCares is able to somehow help get some relief from the cost, that will be great. But yes, so far my dealer has been treating me well with this Jeep. They also worked hard with me to help mature a new 2018 Pacifica that had what that minivan is known for - issues with the start/stop system and battery failures. Can't blame my dealer for the car they were sent and sold to me. Nor can I blame my dealer for the Jeep they got somehow that didn't have any record of damage or severe problems in the CarFax system from living in North Carolina for 2 years and then New York State for 3 years before I got it in 2018. I appreciate the comments and assistance all of you have written in response to my initial query about the rusted suspension components.

I'm also on the Jeep Compass forum and the Compasses have start/stop problems, too. I think Jeep has a lot more work to do in that department. A single trip to the dealer probably uses more fuel than the start/stop system could possibly save over the life of the vehicle.

Hello. There was a rust frame recall, and I got a new front suspension saddle I think they called it.

Recall or voluntary warranty extension? IIRC, FCA extended the warranty for the early years (maybe up to 2010 or 2011?) to 10 years on the frame for the original owner owner.
