 Immense amount of frame rust that has basically made the vehicle useless way before the end of its useful life. has eaten away at the critical parts of the frame that has made it very unsafe and unusable to me. had to get a new car as a result and now waiting to see what is going to be done if anything about truck. would like to see the the frame fixed and the manufacture take responsibility for these malfunctions before someone gets killed or seriously injured!
