“Rusted cross member on my 2000 chevy Tracker. I drove my daughter to georgia from vermont. While in the local walmart parking lot I noticed my tire rubbing. I looked under the front and the cross member where the steering a frame attaches was completely rusted and broken off. I am glad it happened in a parking lot and not while driving at 65 MPH on the high way.”
