Description of the problem	While starting out of the parking lot of our apartment to go grocery shopping, i felt a grinding sensation from the rear of the car. I did not like the sound of it so i turned the car around and parked it. I jumped out and went to the back of the car and saw the rear passenger tire from the top wedged into the tire well. I grabbed the tire and was manually able to push it forwards and back. I called a tow truck and the mechanic said that the lower control arm had rusted and broke from the frame. My extended warranty did not cover rusted parts so it came out of my pocket. 1 year later coming back from a shopping trip, my wife and i were crossing the delaware memorial bridge and i noticed that the steering wheel was turned about t1/4 to the right and we were still going straight. 1minute later the car was banging very hard over any irregularities in the road. I managed to get the car home and stepped to the rear and the driver tire was top tilted into the wheel well. Called a tow truck and the same mechanic said lower control arm rusted and broke. This time more damage to other surrounding parts were damaged. This should not happen to a barely 6 year old car!
