| Engine cradle subframe has rusted through on right side. low mileage, car is parked in a garage, so it does not sit outside all day and night. my mechanic tells me he has seen this a lot with chevys. he says it is especially true with gm cars driven in the north because of the weather...so much for being imported from detroit; isn't that in the north? he says he can order a used replacement from the southern us. i know a cavalier is not a top-of-the-line car, but isn't the frame supposed to be the strogest part? come on gm, fix this issue before somebody dies! i was going to let my 16 year old kid drive the car, now i have to tell him that he can't because an affordable car made by the biggest us automaker is cheaply made and unsafe!? *tr | |||
