Consumer Description

MY 2000 KIA SPORTAGE HAS SERIOUS FRAME RUST. THE CAR IS ONLY TEN YEARS OLD AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS CAR AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WOULD HAPPEN. THERE SEEM TO BE MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THIS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE FRAME BEING STRUCTURALLY COMPROMISED. THIS IS SERIOUS. THE FRAME ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST BROKEN IN TWO PIECES. *TR
