| Description of the problem | Noticed there was something off about my car when my tires looked like they were tilting in. When i had it looked at they noticed that the entire back suspension frame was completly rusted out and broken in two places. I was told i was lucky that i hadnt lost the back end already and it was only a matter of a time or a bad bump away. My mechanic advised that my toddler and i are not to use this vehicle due to the increased potential of a serious accident. After doing some online research i found this has been a common issue with these cars and was surprised that there was not a recall on something as faulty and dangerous as this. |
