I own a 2002 Pt Cruiser. It recently almost caused a severe accident due to the sub-frame that holds the front suspension together. The garage that it is being worked on said that it was completely rusted out and he has never seen such a thing. Also, when it broke, it also broke the tie rod, the steering rack and the a-arm. I was only going about 40 mph at the time when it happened, had I been going any faster I would have been in a severe accident. I googled this problem and found other complaints from owners with the same problem. I feel that this should be looked into.
