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 THE STABILIZER BAR BROKE OFF OF THE FRAME AND MY MECHANIC STATES THE FRAME IS SI RUSTED IT IS PAPER THIN AND ADVISES NOT REPAIRING AS IT WOULD BE HAZARDOUS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE FRAME BEING STRUCTURALLY COMPROMISED. THIS IS SERIOUS. *TR
