In June, 2018, the bracket that holds the steering arm to the frame, on the passenger side, completely disconnected while crossing a major intersection. The frame was rusted through forward of the front right a-frame where the steering arm connects on the passengers side. I lost control of the truck and am blessed I didn't hit anyone or thing. It appears the A/C condensate drains directly onto the frame above the rusted portion of frame. 15 years is not supposed to be to old for a well maintained vehicle. The frame is not repairable.
