| Description of the problem | Bought this car from original owner- never seen a mass winter -the car's rear end is swaying and making clunking noise- just brought the car into a mechanic - the rear sub frame is broken in two parts- one is near the gas tank- vehicle not save to drive- car has 80. 000 miles on it and it was purchased in 2015 with 52,000 miles on it- this car was purchased because it was a safe car - plenty of airbags with pelvic air bags especially- my gf was in a very bad car accident and had a broken pelvis which is the main reason she bought this car- she still has a year left of making payments on it. |
