Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My wife was driving down the road probably about 40 or 45 MPH when she heard a loud pop and the car began to handle weird and making all kinds of noise. She got it to a nearby parking lot where I met her to look at it. At first glance I could not find anything wrong except for the exhaust appeared to be broke so I had her drive it home since she was only a mile from the house. When I got it home upon further inspection I found that the rear subframe for the rearend had ripped out of the unibody frame. There cracks and rust in the frame. …”
