I came to visit my son for a spring break in west virginia and I have noticed/heated a very loud noise. I asked my son what is that loud noise? I made an ocular inspection under the car and found very rotten condition sub-frames. I immediately very worried and took the car to the nearest car service repair to take a look at the rotten sub-frames. I noticed the car was very unstable while driving to the shop even at a low speed. The mechanic emmediately concluded that the sub-framed is so rotten and worried it would collapse. The mechanic recommended that the sub/frames be replaced. The mechanics called part supplier to order needed sub-frame parts. The mechanic was told my car has a recall for sub-frames and suggested to bring my car to the nearest Dodge service center in morgantown west virginia. Again it was very frightening driving the car to urse fidge authorized service center. I discovered that my car has two recalls: s60 and x69. I left my car st Dodge service for necessary repair. I told them that the car is very dangerous to drive. Another issue with the car is the engine losing power while my son was driving to west virginia university. I was driving and following my son's and suddenly he drove his car along the side road. I thought he was just resting but found later when arrived st the university that the car slowed down along I-68. This really convened me also because it is life threatening. The third issue I exprienced while driving the car, is the brake. Break bounced back and doesn't stopped instantly. This really concerned me si much also. It's a safety hazard. After experiencing the safety concern of this car which can cause lives. I'm really afraid driving this car. I would like to recommend that Dodge company must need to buy-out the cars that are out there to prevent injuries and preserve lives.
