Consumer Description

LAST YEAR I RETURNED MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE SUB FRAME RECALL. I HAD THE NEW SUPPORT INSTALLED. THIS YEAR WHEN I WENT FOR MY ANNUAL VEHICLE INSPECTION I WAS TOLD TO STOP DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS MY SUBFRAME WAS SO BADLY RUSTED THAT IT COULD BREAK AT ANY TIME. WHY WAS THE SUBFRAME REPLACEMENT NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL?
