While turning the wheel to back out of a parking spot, we heard a loud clunking sound. From that point on, while braking there were loud clunking sounds and the car pulled to the right. We brought it to our mechanic and was informed the front sub frame/ engine cradle, was completey rusted out due to corrosion from the inside. There was a mounting bolt protruding through a hole in the subframe and the suspension components were loose and damaged. They provided a photo showing the large hole and mounting bolt protruding. We were told it was unsafe to drive. We have to replace the sub frame, control arms and sway bar links. The sub frame supports these components, the engine and other parts!.
2 car collision on a city street. Both cars in motion. Our car was turning left onto the main road and was hit in the left front area causing significant damage resulting in the total loss of both vehicles. The driver of our car was taken by ambulance to the hospital to be checked out. The driver of our car suffered a head injury on the left side resulting in pain and in particular short term memory loss. The accident report is available thru the kirkland, wa police department, case #20-19103. Although the report does contain errors and omissions it mostly describes what happened and includes several photos. The reason for this complaint is we are wondering why the airbags (side ones in particular) did not deploy? we feel it's very likely the head injury would not have happened had the airbag(s) deployed.

Under the front passenger seat there is a metal rectangular box containing ???? this is the area that is affected by the excessive wetness problem. If this a computer components box or a heating element box, people sitting in either the front passenger seat or the immediate rear seat could be at risk for electrically caused injury.
Driving through the salty state of ut. My rear windows on my Subaru Legacy have salt building up on the inside of the door. Going to the car wash doesn't help, it just grows right back. I'm worried that the salt could be causing internal damage to to door, which could lead to failure.
