Consumer Description

MY 2007 DODGE CALIBER'S SUBFRAME IS SEVERELY RUSTED AND THERE'S LESS THEN 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR. A CAR THAT NEW SHOULD NOT RUST SO BAD IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THE WARRANTY ON THE CAR SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE THE SUBFRAME IS SO RUSTED THAT IT'S DANGEROUS AND TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. IN ADDITION TO THE CAR BEING A SAFETY HAZARD, THE SUBFRAME IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX THANKS TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO REMOVE THE SUBFRAME. WITH THE SUBFRAME GONE BAD, THE RUSTED OUT SUBFRAME ALSO DAMAGES ATTACHED PARTS OF THE CAR. THE STRUTS IN THE REAR AND FRONT HAVE GONE BAD DUE TO THE SUBFRAME'S EROSION.
