Consumer Description

THE K FRAME IS RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN GOING AROUND A CURVE. OUR MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO STABILIZE THIS, BUT STATES THE FRAME IS SO RUSTED THAT HE CAN PUSH A SCREWDRIVER THROUGH WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT. IT NEEDS REPLACED. WE CONTACTED OUR DEALER, AND WERE TOLD THAT ONLY THE 2007 MODELS ARE COVERED BY A SAFETY RECALL.
