Consumer Description

TEAM: I WAS INSTRUCTED BY DODGE TO DRILL A WEEP HOLE FOR THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SAME CROSS MEMBER WHICH HAS BRAKE/GAS LINES ATTACHED TO IT. THAT SIDE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT TOO. THERE ARE BRAKE/GAS LINES ATTACHED TO A RUSTED OUT PIECE. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IT FALLS OFF? NO BRAKES FIREBALL I NEED SOMEONE TO GET ON DODGE'S BUMPER. DODGE NEEDS TO PAY FOR A NEW FRAME OR VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. GRATZIE. CORDIALLY, GREG PS I HAVE MORE PIX IN CASE I DIDN'T ATTACH TO OTHER COMPLAINT.
