Description of the problem	My 2005 kia sorento just went in for a transmission leak at 94k and came out with needing a new tranny pan and a whole new rear end underneath due to the rear trailing arm bracket rotting completely away. This is a major safety issue in which many are having. This needs to be recalled, it's the design of the bracket which causes salt, water, etc to enter and have no way to exit. Any of these vehicles in the salt states are going to have this happen and then tragedy will happen if they don't catch it. Again the rear of the car has rotted brackets that attach the trailing arms and without them the car becomes completely unstable and a huge safely hazard.
