36 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/26/1999

Dealer wants vehicle for 30 days to repair it which is excessive.

37 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/01/1999

The component that is failing is the frame. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The safety of myself and others is at risk due to the frame falling apart due to the lack of integrity. The lack of integrity and strength is from oxidation or major rust. The vehicle has not been inspection by a 3rd party. The rust is a common issue in this year/model from other owners and has appeared to be a manufacturing error.
