Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE CALIBER AND THE SUB FRAME IS SO RUSTED THROUGH THAT IT CRACKED WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING IT. THANKFULLY HE WAS COMING HOME AND IT HAPPENED COUPLE MINUTES FROM HOME. I CANNOT BELIEVE A CAR, THAT IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD, CAN RUST SO SEVERELY IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I CANNOT BELIEVE DODGE HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR? ARE THEY WAITING FOR ENOUGH PEOPLE TO GET INTO ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLY KILL SOMEBODY, BEFORE THE RECALL THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT? THEY MUST HAVE SOME REALLY GOOD BEAN COUNTERS. WHEN I STARTED LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE SO MANY COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS I AM HAVING, AND THEIR CARS WERE YOUNGER THEN MINE. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND OUT THAT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY RECALLS ISSUED FOR THIS. *TR
