Subframe washers rust and fail which caused in this case the steering rack to disconnect . I have been auto tech for 25 years and have seen many makes have very concerning safety problems . The federal safety agency has failed in my eyes . The state I live in uses salt so the problems show up faster here in rust and cold related problems . My personal vehicle has 4 items that I truly believe should be recalled but are not . 1 of them makes my driver airbag inop . Thanks for your time and any help I can be please contact.
