Consumer Description

EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS IN NEED OF REPAIR. SHOP WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIX BECAUSE THE FRAME IS SO RUSTED THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO ATTACH NEW PARTS TO. SHOP SHOWED ME LARGE HOLES IN FRAME. THEN ADVISED ME THAT I SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITH THE POSSIBILITIES OF BREAKING. WHICH I HAVE HEARD HAPPEN TO OTHERS. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OR RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY RECALL THAT I HAVE RECEIVED AND TAKEN CARE OF WAS THE ISSUE WITH THE ACCELERATOR. THIS ALARMS ME SINCE I OFTEN HAVE MY CHILDREN WITH ME.
