1 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 04/06/2009

While trying to sell my vehicle, an auto service facility discovered serious frame corrosion which could prove to be a safety issue. The corrosion seems excessive and suggests design and/or material deficiencies. I have had to replace all brake lines and have had transmission shift linkage failure, all due to rust. Also, excessive body rust in the lower rocker panels has occurred, more of a cosmetic problem, but indicative of the pervasive rust problem that exists.
