1 Frame Rust problem

Failure Date: 08/11/2014

Frame has rusted through serious safety issue where tire is about to sink in.

2 Frame Rust problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2007

The front crossmember is horribly rusted. The previous owner(s) looked to have welded extra support to the area that the crossmember attaches to the control arm. I originally thought the previous owner hit something, but upon closer inspection there is no damage as the result of a collision. I just noticed this today, and do not at all feel safe driving anywhere until this is fixed. A 7 year old vehicle should not be rusting frame parts off!!.

3 Frame Rust problem

Failure Date: 09/24/2007

1 - normal driving, no off road driving. No speeding. No hazardous driving. 2 - subframe rusted through on passenger's side. Consequence? had to drive home at less than 25 mph and home was over 25 miles away. 3 - subframe has to be replaced: metal too thin for welding pieces back together. Old part is in my garage.
