problem #2

  • 75,000 miles
Normal driving resulted in frame failure at the differential mounting point. The entire differential mount broke loose from the frame and the cross frame is broken in two places.. the vehicle also has trunk floor pan spot welds breaking loose. The problems result in a rear axle assembly that is loose and steers the car erratically. The car is unsafe to drive at this time due to erratic handling.
