Drove to work in the morning everything seemed fine. Driving back to work after my lunch break my steering wheel was cockeyed. Called the auto repair shop they thought I had a broken tie rod. Was going to bring it in the following morning. Driving back home which is approx. 1 mile through town I started to lose some control of the car. Repair shop was only a block and a half away. Drove it their immediately. Told the mechanic it was dangerous to drive. They called me the next morning and said the engine cradle was completely rotted through and the engine was starting to drive. Was told I was lucky I wasn't on the highway going 65 mph or it could have been a serious accident. Mechanic said there isn't any current recalls on my car for that particular problem but there was on the 2007's. He said he considered it a crime for Dodge to put in such a faulty part and this should never have happened. He asked if I wanted to junk it or repair it. I only have close to 87,000 miles and buying a new car would cost more so I repaired it for $2,074 which included other replacement parts due to how bad the engine cradle was. Control arms with ball joints left from inner tie rod. I don't understand why there wasn't a recall on this year model since they are having the same problem as the 2007's. I could have been in a serious accident and possibly not be here today. I consider myself lucky I was driving under 30mph and close to a auto repair shop. This needs to be reported and I would like a full refund for the repair.

While getting an oil change I asked what the rusted looking part was under my car was and was told it was the cradle/frame and I should contact the dealership because there is no way that it should have rusted like this. I have not been driving the car for months because I just had the right tie rod/sway bar replaced again and it needs struts again and I don't know if it is worth it to fix considering now the cradle is rotted so I am investigating and putting everything in order to find out if there is any help I can get due to the amount of money I have had to put in this car, from the start, I am going to go over all of this at the dealership, see what they have to say if I am not happy I am considering hiring an attorney.

11/2013 is when the problem was noticed. It was starting to rust at a little over 106,000 miles while getting tie rods and sway bars fixed. Was told at that this model has all front end problems which as time went on and the amount of expense is very true. I will have to take picture of it to post on here also. The car has a little over 125,000 miles on it but I don't drive it at all right now. For months and over the past few years have driven other cars in order to come up with money to fix the multiple front end problems and always have to by tires. I also want to add that my car is titled 2008 but the manufacture sticker in the door is 8/2007 and says must go but manufacture date. I talked to a Dodge dealership and was told, before I found the manufacture date, that they were replacing the 2007 cradle rot problems for free but since mine is a 2008 they would work a deal out with me. Have not went back yet to explain mine is 2007 manufactured because I am gathering up all my repair work and money I have put in this car and I want some money back and I want this fixed for free!
