2 Paint problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2018

I'd like to report my observation in regards to the following investigation: pe18006 upon performing routine maintenance I observed heavy corrosion of the subframe of my vehicle heavily concentrated towards the rear ends of said subframe. The damage is largely concentrated on the passenger side of the sub frame but both drive and passenger sides are in varying states of corrosion. I can contribute additional information upon request but I wanted to add to the on-going investigation that heavy corrosion to the point of me questioning the structural integrity of said subframe is for sure an issue I'm experiencing. I have not checked the welds to the various suspension components attached to sub frame but the pinch welds along the interior edge of the sub frame have been compromised allowing the ingress of additional water which I believe is accelerating this issue. The whole lower surface of the sub frame towards the rear of the sub frame has begun corroding as well and the paint covering the sub frame has bubbled up or separated along the edge of the corrosion.
