Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	This vehicle has serious rust in the frame, the structural composition of the frame is so bad that the vehicle is no longer safe to drive. In the photo that i attached you can see that the rear left leaf spring has protruded into the frame. I do not believe there is current recall program to replace the frame and i believe this is common issue that needs to be addressed. A 15 year old vehicle should not have structural issues under normal driving conditions and i believe i should be compensated.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
