“The vehicle's frame is breaking due to pressure of the gear box, and also the steering became difficult; and it was hard to turn the steering wheel at times. Frame is broke at steering gear, steering column is loose, and steering linkage and lower ball joints worn, pressure from the gear box causes the frame to weaken and break, the problem is a manufacturing or design problem, replacing the frame band does not guarantee problem will not happen again, 2 years prior to this, the idler arm and transmission mount were replaced.”
