Consumer Description

I WAS TOLD BY MEINEKE THAT MY ENGINE'S SUBFRAME WAS SO CORRODED THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT WAS VERY UNUSUAL FOR A CAR THIS YOUNG TO HAVE A CORRODED SUBFRAME. I LEARNED FROM ONLINE RESEARCH THAT CORRODED SUBFRAMES ARE A FREQUENT COMPLAINT WITH DODGE CALIBERS, POSSIBLY BECAUSE OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. THERE WAS NO RECALL. I IMMEDIATELY REPLACED THE SUBFRAME AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,000. *TR
