Consumer Description

UPON GETTING UNDER MY VEHICLE TO EXAMINE WHAT WAS MAKING A NOISE I FOUND THAT THE RIGHT REAR INSIDE FRAME RAIL HAS A HOLE APPROXIMATELY 8 INCHES LONG. THE FRAME RAIL STILL HAS PAINT ON IT WHICH GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF BEING OK, HOWEVER IT LOOKS AS IF THE FRAME HAS RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT! I ALSO NOTICED THAT A BRACKET MOUNTED ON TOP OF THE REAR AXLE IS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND HAS NO BODY RUST ON IT EITHER. *TR
