Consumer Description

REAR SUBFRAME MOUNTS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. SUBFRAME SITTING ON EXHAUST. JUST HAD PILOT AT DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION AND THEY DID NOT EVEN MENTION THE ISSUE TO ME, GUESS THEY DIDN'T INSPECT IT VERY WELL. FOUND ON MY OWN AFTER DRIVING HOME AND HEARING NOISES COMING FROM THE REAR END. THANKFULLY THE EXHAUST DID NOT BREAK FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE SUBFRAME OR THE WHOLE REAR END WOULD HAVE FALLEN DOWN.
