1 Frame Rust problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2016

In July of 2015, the bracket that holds the steering arm to the frame, on the passenger side, completely disconnected as I was making a turn. This I had repaired (welded) shortly afterward. The frame was disintegrating from underneath me. On 09/02/2016 the frame totally separated where the steering connects on the drivers side, making it impossible to steer. I find the metal that was used for the frame thin, cheap, untreated, and unsafe! 12 years is much to short of time for a vehicle to be retired by a rusted frame! Chrysler has a documented complaint from me about this and of course they're doing nothing about it.
