| Description of the problem | There was no accident at this time. We notice rusting on the frame and after further inspection we found large holes in the frame rails. This vehicle is no longer safe to drive. We still have a loan on it and don't understand how a 8 year old vehicle can have that much rust on the frame with such low mileage(49,254). There has to be more out there with this problem. Not sure where to go from here. |
