The contact owns a 2002 kia Sportage. While having the vehicle inspected, the contact was informed that the underbody frame was rusted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 117,000.
The frame at the point of connection with the rear differential is completely rusted through and I am unable to get it repaired. I have contacted kia and they said that the vehicle is beyond it's warranty. I was driving and heard a thumping sound. The sound got louder and the car began to shake terribly. A mechanic looked at it and told me that the frame was broken.
