“This past sunday, on june 11, 2017 I was driving home from a graduation party and there was a loud pow once I accelerated from a stop. My steering was very stiff (as if I was driving an ancient large truck with no power steering, also my exhaust system at least partially came undun. I was able to get the crippled car to our regular repair shop, who told me that I had a subframe rust-collapse. I had talked to a shadetree mechanic friend, who said that it wasn't an actual subframe collapse, but the next layer up, the engine cradle whose sleeves are no thicker steel than the unibody sheetmetal. …”
NHTSA complaint #10995826, filed 2017-06, 136,000 miles“Had been driving auto and when entering parking area I heard a load bang and the front end of the vehicle started to wobble. I stopped, got out and looked at the front of the car. The front driver's side tire was flat and upon further investigation, I found that the driver's side front spring had broken and punctured the front driver's side tire. At this time, nothing has been done to repair damage other than putting on temporary spare tire to park the vehicle.”
