Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS USED 2001 SONOTA FROM A LOCAL GUY WHO REBUILDS CARS FOR RESALE. I UNDERSTOOD THAT IT CAME WITH A SALVAGED TITLE. HOWEVER, I WAS ASSURED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO OPERATE. SIX WEEKS, 4,000 MI. LATER I HIT A POT WHOLE ON MY STREET AND DAMAGED THE STEERING. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND DISCOVERED THE R-SIDE SUB-FRAME WAS BROKEN DUE TO CORROSION. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALLOWING A VEHICLE THAT HAS A POSSIBLE R-SIDE SUB-FRAME RECALLED, TO NEVER GET FIXED AND PLACED BACK ON THE ROAD? FORTUNATELY, IT BROKE AT A LOW SPEED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. *TR
