Consumer Description

WHILE UNDER MY DODGE I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF RUST. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION I SAW THAT THEY DESIGNED THE AC CONDENSATION TO DRIP DIRECTLY ONTO THE FRAME. THIS BAFFLES ME SINCE ALL THEY HAD TOO DO IS DESIGN A TUBE TO DIRECT THE WATER ONTO THE GROUND. I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW THIS HAS EFFECTED THE STRENGTH OF THE FRAME BUT FROM THE AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE SPOT WHERE THE WATER DRIPS I DON'T HAVE A WARM AND FUZZY THAT THE FRAME WILL LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR OR THAT THE FRAME WON'T JUST SNAP WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. VERY UNSAFE PRACTICE AND WITH SUCH AN EASY FIX DON'T UNDERSTAND IT AT ALL. *TR
