2002 Chevrolet Tracker. Consumer writes in regards to a recall for rusted sub frame the consumer stated the vehicle would not pass state inspection due to the rsuted frame.
I have a 2002 Chevy Tracker that has displayed a catastrophic failure of the front crossmember. This is as described in the closed investigation NHTSA action number: EA06018. The failure occurred at highway speed when braking and I was very lucky to maintain control of the vehicle. This is a very serious safety issue.
