CRASH
Show complaint excerpts

THE REAR SUBFRAME LITERALLY DISINTEGRATED. WHILE DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE REAR WHEELS BOTH SHIFTED. LIKE MANY OTHERS ON HERE MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND THE REAR WHEELS PRACTICALLY FELL OFF OF THE VEHICLE.

NHTSA ODI report, 20210304

2 months ago I Bought vehicle for $4300 and found out 3 weeks ago that the frame is broken. The car is very squirrely on wet roads- no wonder? It's very dangerous and it's going to cost more than the car is worth to fix it.
