The vehicle has approximately 67,000 miles on it.  I own a Mopar premier extended warranty covering the vehicle for 7 years, or 100,000 miles, whatever comes first.    My complaint, which I believe creates a severe safety hazard on a public roadway, is the inner front fender wheel lines have failed on three different occasions requiring replacement.  When the liners fail, it leaves exposed the 4  individual brake lines from the master cylinder.  Road debris, when the inner fender wheel well is missing, can easily strick the brake lines by road debris thrown from the front tire while driving leading to brake failure and loss of control which can result in injury up to and including death to the driver, occupants, or others.  I have contacted corporate Jeep on two different occasions to ask for repairs, and they refused to correct the issue.  Their position is the vehicle is beyond the 3 year, 36,000 mile initial warranty, and my extended warrenty will not cover the repair as this wheel well liner is considerd a \"trim piece\".  I am looking to NHTSA for assistance as this failure is something that should be mandated for a safety recall, and the dealer has told me the design of the liner on the JL series is prone  to failure.  I have owned 4 other Jeep Rubicon's over the past 10-15 years, and this has not been an issue on my other vehicles prior to the redesign of current Jeep Wrangler JL series.  I have filed a complaint with Jeep, and they refuse to escallate my issue.  The dealer says they cannot address the issue without corporate approval, and Jeep does not have a work flow to escallate the issue internally.  I have photos which will clearly show the exposed 4 brake lines at the upper edge of the frame rail.  I attempted to upload 8 photos of approximately 80-90 KB each.  Your web portal would not accept any photos.  Help me submit photos for review.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"JEEP","productModel":"WRANGLER","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]}]}
