Consumer Description

WHILE HAVING PFE SENSOR REPLACED, IT WAS NOTED THAT REAR CONTROL ARM AND LEFT REAR CORNER OF GAS TANK "BADLY RUSTED". MECHANIC BELIEVES IN PART DUE TO ACIDIC WATER COMING FROM DRAIN HOLE OF MUFFLER. RUSTING IS SO BAD REAR CONTROL ARM LOOKS CHARRED. MECHANIC ALSO NOTED HE HAD "NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS". HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO DO NO LONG DISTANCE DRIVING, THAT RISK OF FIRE IS GREAT AND IF CONTROL ARM RUSTS FURTHER, RISK OF BREAKING AWAY FROM WHEEL COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT. *AK
