Consumer Description

THE SUB-FRAME IS RUSTED/ROTTED THROUGH ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT ADJACENT TO OIL DRAIN PLUG. I WENT TO A MECHANIC FOR A POWER STEERING SYSTEM INSPECTION AND THEY POINTED OUT THE EXTENT OF RUST DAMAGE AND TOLD ME THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I LOOKED INTO THE PREVALENCE OF THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT AFFECTING ONLY THE SUB-FRAME AT THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT. *TR
