Description of the problem | Cracked sub-frame at 104,000 miles. Dealership stated that it was caused by pot holes, i do not drive over potholes and take care of my vehicle very much so. I am not wreckless, and i have every maintenance record available as well as other warranties. I have had numerous issues with this vehicle including transmission and clutch at 75,000 miles, electrical issues and light indicators turning on for no reason, airbag lights light up at least twice a year, engine light coming on at least once a year, and finally a cracked sub frame. This vehicle has been nothing but cost and is dangerous to drive at this point. *ak |
