Body and structure: “Just driving down the road ( about 40 MPH ) I heard what sounded like the muffler falling off the car with a bang and the car moving oddly and hearing a metal noise. I found it to be the very rear crossmenber ( the one before the rear bumper ) had fallen off. I have done welding for over thirty years this was not welded properly. The car has been in a garage from day one and my mom is the only owner. The paint and undercarriage is like new! ( no rust and all maintenace has been done ) if someone else had been driving they may have lost control of the car! …”
