Description of the problem	We have a 2006 kia sedona minivan with little or no rust on the body. In 2013 while my wife was driving in town she had the passenger front control arm break thankfully at low speed. I contacted kia about the problem and they said they would not reimburse for the repair. A couple weeks later they called and offered to reimburse me for the new control arms and labor which they did. Shortly afterwards a recall was issued for this exact problem. Less than 2 weeks ago on 9/28/17 as a was returning home from work the wheel began shaking and there was a grinding and shuddering while braking abruptly and i was able to limp the van home. I had it towed to my mechanic and the subframe just the other side of the front driver control arm had snapped and the wheel is just floating around in the wheel well. I was surprised how thin the steel is at the break point considering it needs to support a quarter of the weight of the van. The support structure of the van is rotted at more than just this location upon further inspection.
