I STARTED HEARING A METAL CLANKING NOISE IN THE FRONT OF MY CAR. IT PROGRESSED AND GOT WORSE AS I DROVE MORE. I BROUGHT IT INTO A REPAIR SHOP ONLY TO FIND OUT THE SUBFRAME - BOTH FRONT AND REAR- IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND ROTTED OUT. THEY COULD PUT THEIR FINGER THROUGH THE FRAME IT WAS SO FRAIL. IT ONLY HAS 120K MILES ON IT. IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE SO NOW I AM OUT OF WORK, ETC UNTIL I REPLACE IT OR FIX IT. THE NOISE OCCURS WHENEVER TURNING, HITTING BUMPS, AND OCCASIONALLY WHILE JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. IT DOES NOT OCCUR WHILE ON A HIGHWAY.

MY DAUGHTER BOUGHT A USED 2007 DODGE CALIBER WITH 83,493 MILES ON IT IN 2016. IN 2018 THE CAR BECAME VERY UNSTABLE AND FOUND THE CROSS STRUCTURE IN THE REAR WAS SO CORRODED AND RUSTED IT CRACKED IN HALF. SHE, I, AND OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. AND I SEE NOW 100'S OF OTHERS THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THIS? EAT $5,000.00 ? THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.. SHE WAS DRIVING AND I WAS WITH HER AT NIGHT AND RAINING, ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT STARTED TO SHAKE SO BAD I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO FALL APART. WE CREEPED IT HOME AND FRIENDS LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAID OMG.. SO AGAIN,, HOW DO WE REPLACE THIS? AND WHAT IS BEING DONE? THERE WERE NO NOTIFICATIONS ON THIS AT ALL PERIOD. I DON'T CARE IF IT WAS 1 CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.. IT COULD BE A FAMILY WITH CHILDREN, A HEAD ON CRASH, WHO KNOWS.. IT'S DANGEROUS.. MAD MOTHER.. IT HAPPENED ON OR AROUND MAY 14, 2018 AND I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE MILES WERE AT THAT TIME, GAVE A ESTIMATE.. THIS IS AS BAD AS HAVING A DRUNK DRIVER COMING AT YOU.. PLEASE RECALL..

CAR WENT IN FOR REPAIR AND WAS ADVISED THAT SUBFRAME HAS ROTTED OUT. IT HAS BARELY 106,000 MILES ON IT. THIS VEHICLE HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM OF THE FRAME RUSTING OUT BAD. MECHANIC IS TRYING TO FIX IT BUT IT MAY NOT BE WORTH IT. CAR MAY FALL A PART AT ANY TIME. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AT LEAST THE SUBFRAME, IT IS NOT SAFE AND COSTS THE OWNERS WAY TOO MUCH TO REPAIR WITH VERY FEW MILES ON IT.
