Outlander

There's a recall on the front cross member/sub-frame, which is in good condition, but not the back one. Which mine just actually ripped! it started driving odd, like the back end doesn't stay behind it. Would kind of shudder at takeoff, and sounds awful! especially noticeable going slowly on a dirt driveway with bumps.even with brand new suspension, tires, cv-shafts, bearings, everything.it still did it.then yesterday it started really banging and thumping underneath.it was hard to figure out because it would happen at different times.sometimes corners, sometimes going straight, especially when the body would twist. So I stopped and checked. I noticed the vehicle was dropped at least an inch on one side. It has brand new struts in it, so I looked closer. On the drivers side rear, where the lateral control arm attaches to it, the actual sub frame/cross member is torn! it is way to new to have the sub-frame rotted so bad that it just rips.obviously Mitsubishi forgot to treat that cross-member as well! or just got the two backwards in the recall" this is the 2008 Outlander V6,4WD, XLS. Also, not a safety issue, but still not normal for the age, all my paint on the front bumper is just falling off.in chunky flakes"
