Your vehicle's frame is severely rusted and deteriorating with less than 80,000 miles. While driving at approximately 40 mph, the control arm completely separated from the frame, causing you to lose control of the vehicle. This is a critical safety issue that requires immediate inspection and repair of the frame and suspension components.

Your steering wheel became very difficult to turn and felt jerky when you tried to steer. The dealership diagnosed that your steering rack and pinion had corroded severely and needed to be replaced. This is an expensive repair that you had to pay for out of pocket.
