Description of the problem | The entire frame is rusted through and basically deteriorating. I can look underneath my vehicle and see holes where the metal should be and see it flaking off. I could easily poke a hole right through it on just about any point on both the front and the rear. It has been like this for a few years now but it has gotten worse, to the point where i don't think it is really safe to drive. I saw on the news recently where people have been having problem with these vehicles literally falling apart and breaking in two. The news story stated the years 1998-2008 but my 1997 is exactly the same underneath. |
