Consumer Description

ON NOVEMBER 2ND OF 2010, I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT STEERING PROPERLY AND THE WHEEL WAS NOT ALIENED AS IT SHOULD BE, I THEN GOT UNDER THE VEHICLE AS I WAS REPLACING AN O2 SENSOR AND NOTICED THE EXTENSIVE CORROSION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SUB FRAME, I TOOK A PHOTO OF IT AND SHOWED MY HUSBAND, HE SAID IN NO WAY TO DRIVE THAT VEHICLE. I HAD IT TOWED. THE SUB FRAME WAS SO CORRODED BY NOT DRIVING IN MY OPINION SAVED MY 83 YEAR OLD MOMS LIFE, AND MINE. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS ALMOST AS BAD, I HAVE PHOTOS AND THE REPAIR SLIP COST ME 324.00 TO WELD TO SAFETY. THIS OBVIOUSLY IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I TOOK OVER THIS VEHICLE NOVEMBER 30TH OF 2010, MY MOM OWED IT IN NEW YORK SINCE 2003.
