Consumer Description

2000 INFINITI I30 WITH APPROX. 100K MILES. THE VEHICLE IS USED AS A SPARE AND IS GARAGE KEPT. WENT TO GET AN OIL/FILTER CHANGE AND FOUND THE FRAME UNDER THE RADIATOR IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND IS ACTUALLY SAGGING. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS PART OF THE FRAME SUPPORTS THE ENGINE MOUNT THAT'S LOCATED NEAR THE RADIATOR ALSO. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. THE REST OF THE VEHICLE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION CONSIDERING THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. I GOT AN ESTIMATE OF APPROX. $1,000 TO REPLACE THE RUSTED PART OF THE FRAME. SEARCHING ONLINE, IT APPEARS THE VEHICLES BUILT ON THIS CHASSIS HAVE SIMILAR RUSTING FRAME ISSUES. *TR
