Consumer Description

1) MOUNTS FOR REAR SUBFRAME TO BODY NOT STRONG ENOUGH. THEY FLEX AND CRACK LEADING TO A CHAIN REACTION THEN THE REAR END RIPS OFF. 2)I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY TWO WAY ROAD. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CARS REAR END IS MOVING TO THE LEFT AND I LOST CONTROL FOR A LITTLE. LUCKILY DIDNT CRASH INTO ANOTHER CAR. THEN I REGAINED CONTROL AND DROVE BACK TO MY HOUSE WHICH WAS 1 STREET AWAY. 3) I HAD TO HAVE IT TOW TRUCKED TO A GARAGE WHERE THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SHEET METAL PART WHERE THE WHOLE REAR END MOUNTS TO.
