Consumer Description

APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY CAME TO A JARRING STOP AFTER THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HIT A SMALL RECESSED GAS COMPANY ACCESS COVER, PERHAPS 2" DEEP AND 6" IN DIAMETER. THE FRAME MEMBER BETWEEN THE TWO FRONT WHEELS CRACKED RIGHT THROUGH IN A SHOWER OF RUST. FORTUNATELY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR MAJOR INJURIES COULD HAVE OCCURRED. 12 YEARS SEEMS TOO SOON FOR THIS KIND OF UNDERCARRIAGE WEAR TO HAVE OCCURRED. CAR IS SCRAP NOW BUT HAD BEEN RUNNING WELL. *TR
