Consumer Description

I TOOK MY 2000 KIA SPORTAGE IN TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE THE BRAKES REDONE. AS HE WAS OUT TESTING TO MAKE SURE THE BRAKES WORKED HE NOTICED THAT THE REAR END WAS MOVING AROUND QUITE A BIT. HE TAKES IT BACK TO THE SHOP TO LOOK UP UNDERNEATH AND NOTICED THAT THE CHASSIS WAS RUSTED AWAY SO BAD THAT THERE WAS S FIST SIZED HOLE IN IT. HE TOLD ME THIS NEEDED TO BE FIXED ASAP! THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE WHO OWNS THE VEHICLE. ITS A SCARY THOUGHT TO KNOW THAT AT ANY GIVEN TIME MY CHASSIS CAN LITERALLY FALL APART ON ME. WE NEED THIS TO BE RECALLED DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS THAT IT ALREADY AS AND THE EXTREMELY POOR DESIGN OF THIS CHASSIS. *TR
