Consumer Description

FRONT DRIVERS SIDE FRAME IS CRACKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE FRAME BEGINNING AT THE TRAC BAR BRACKET. THIS MAKES STEERING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE STEERING HARDWARE BINDS. THERE WAS A RECALL (RCRIT-15V541-5721) FOR TRAC BAR BRACKET WELD FAILURES FOR VEHICLES FROM 2012 THROUGH 2014. I BELIEVE THIS IS A RELATED ISSUE THAT SERIOUSLY AFFECTS SAFETY. I'VE ATTACHED FIVE PICTURES.
