It is a strong vehicle good performance but the frame does not support enough problems with the stability of the vehicle on the roads or in emergency maneuvers along the way. Due to corrosion and rupture in the chassis specifically in the connections with the front and rear suspension control arms. (poor quality steel) another point is a smell of fuel and spillage, by the fuel tank. (fire risk) all these conditions result in risk management, loose vehicle control and rollover possibility.
