Consumer Description
The rear subframe of my car is severely corroded. Both dampers (not sure if I have that name right, the cylinder inside the rear suspension coil) have rusted off. The rear left lateral control arm has rusted off. It is higher in mileage so it might be expected, except, other owners have reported the same problem with way less miles. Also there was a recall for the front crossmember in salt states for the same issue but nothing issued for the rear. Driving on a rusted subframe could potentially cause major components of the rear end to rust and break off while driving causing an accident. If the front was poorly coated and had potential for severe premature corrosion, the back should also be addressed as well. Had there been something earlier many owners would not be facing the risk of a potential hazard.
