Consumer Description

WAS DOING OIL CHANGE AND NOTICED A HOLE IN SUB FRAME/ENGINE CRADLE. PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE NOTICED NOTHING OTHER THAN SOME RUST SPOTS ON PAINT. METAL IS VERY THIN ON THE CROSS MEMBER FOR A SUBFRAME THAT HOLDS ENGINE IN PLACE. THE SUB FRAME THAT RUNS TO THE FRONT MOUNT AND REAR MOUNT IS MUCH HEAVIER. SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW RATHER THAN NORMAL WEAR. IF THIS WAS TO FAIL IT WOULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. OEM PART IS OVER $3000, CAN BUY FROM SALVAGE YARD BUT WILL HAVE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
