Front Suspension Control Arm problems of the 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander

Tl the contact owns a 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30-35 mph, there was an abnormal loud clunking sound coming from the front of the vehicle near the driver's feet. The contact pulled over to the side of the roadway. The contact attempted to move the vehicle and noticed that the left wheel had seized. The contact stated that the tire was cambered in and resting on the front fender. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The contact was informed that the control arm detached from extreme corrosion. The contact was also informed that the subframe was also corroded. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 198,000.

While driving along a paved rural road in a moderate left turn at approximately 25 mph the lower left rear control arm detached from the rear cross member. This noticeably affected the handling of the vehicle and caused the tire to contact the body of the vehicle. The rear cross member was found severely rusted.

My front crossmember and control arms were rusted out I pay cash to get it fixed now it's under a recall now my rear cross member in control arms are rusted in Mitsubishi won't fix the car I tried too pay cash and they turn me down the front crossmember was under a recall so the rear crossmember should be under a recall as well the rear is rusty just like how the front was rusty.
