STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT END STRUCTURAL FRAME RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH SUCH THAT THE WELDED ON TIE ROD CONNECTION BRACKET FELL AWAY FROM THE FRAME. SIMILAR RUST CONDITION ON DRIVER'S SIDE BUT NOT AT RISK OF SAME YIELDING. HOWEVER, THIS FRAME FAILURE OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE TWO 1/4" PLATE C-FORMED MEMBERS WELDED TOGETHER SHOULD NOT CORRODE THROUGH LIKE THIS AFTER ONLY 10 YEARS. VEHICLE OPERATED IN MICHIGAN WINTERS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR, I'M SURE. EVEN SO, MY WIFE WAS ONLY GOING 20 MPH WHEN THE FRAME BROKE. COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE RESPONSE WAS BASICALLY "SO WHAT" AS THEY SIMPLY POINTED TO THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY EXPIRING. *TR
