  • 94,000 miles
While driving on 2 lane road approaching a stop light, the light turned red and car brakes for stop, at which time the the lower a frame collapsed, forcing car to the left and into the curb, driver side tire was forced up into the wheel well. No injuries occured due to low speed!! however what if it happened at highway speed"?? checked the other side and the "steel" a frame "crumbled in my hand!!! car is not drivable. Hard to believe you have faith that this critical member could fail so violently?" hope this helps others, check now!!!!!
