What owners wrote
The rear suspension crosmember corroded and snapped in half. There was a 10year extended warranty that I apparently missed by a few months. This is super dangerous. It caused the tire to pop when I was driving home from it rubbing and then I veered off the road. The front crossmember is also in similar condition. There needs to be a recall asap. It is now stationary and immobile because of the situation. It was in motion when the accident happened on a city street. It caused me to need a tow.
