Frame Rust Problems of Ford Escape Hybrid

My 2007 Ford escape is in mint condition. I found out today I should not drive it. My mechanic told me it's very unsafe. The frame is rusting out in back of the rear wheel and rust has broken the area where the shock absorber attaches to the frame. Perfect tuning car that I can't use. Unbelievable.
