I noticed that the rear end of the car was "bouncing" as I went around a corner. I immediately brought the car home and noticed that both rear tires were bowing out at the bottom. I put the car up on a jack to investigate and saw where the rear axle had severed half way through in two different spots. Rust was visible at one location. The worse of the two sever points was on what appears to be on a vertical seam in the metal. I was very fortunate that it happened to me as I was running to the store just prior to my wife taking our three daughters to ballet - for which she would have been driving on a major interstate. I have now seen at least 4 other comments of the same issue on the internet. This is definitely a manufacturer defect and needs to be recalled before there is a fatality.
