My son was at a stop sign on a residential street. he accelerated to make a right hand turn, heard a loud pop, the car jolted and pulled in the opposite direction. behind the driver's side tire, the suspension broke. took to a garage and was told the entire frame was pitted and rusted through. was also told by the mechanic that this was a known issue with our make and model car. he told us that my sons were very lucky that they were not on a highway or traveling any faster, as they would have been in a very bad accident!!!

The front crossmember has rusted out so much that it will not pass a pa state inspection and is unsafe to drive. after hearing this i found out that it is not a matter "if" it will rust out, just a matter of "when". i was not fortunate enough to have this happen during the warranty extension and feel that dodge should have notified me that there was an extension.
