At first brakes were making noise so I went to replace them after getting parts and I noticed that the brake pedal went to the floor I was able to get it on concrete pad but when I jacked it up I say big chunks of rust falling when I looked under car rear axle subframe was pretty much gone after I say that I decided to order the replacement subframe but when it come in and I was getting ready to do it I body mount where it is bolted also needs replaced I was trying to find them when I come across a factory recall about this issue when I contacted them and the dealer about this issue dealer said it couldn't be done because there was nothing left and he refused to put on a lift because he said the rear subframe would fall on ground but manufacturer denied to repair or make any resolutions for it even though they had in past and they new about the problem I have found over 1000 issues listed and they have repaired a bunch of the same vehicles for the same issue I told them I never received anything about the issue and they said it was my responsibility not there's so not only did they not do or even try to do what they have on recall but they refused to do anything for me and I was glad I didn't try driving after I heard noise because I could of caused a major accident and been severely injured in process not to mention someone else due to rear frame and brakes falling and falling out of car

They inspected the vehicle and noticed a metal container with a plastic casing that was getting burned due to a fuel line leading to it. The contact stated their vehicle was included in a recall where the straps were placed to hold the gas tank was near a unit that had wires relating to the gas tank and towards the engine, indicating it was the computer used for the fuel line connection between the gas tank and the engine. The contact spoke with the dealer (libertyville Lincoln 941 S milwaukee ave, libertyville, il 60048; (847) 367-1700) who stated that due to their vehicle not being included in a recall they were unable to diagnose the vehicle free of charge. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage 165,000.
We were driving the car when the rear end started swaying while making a left turn onto a busy main street. We had a mechanic shop look underneath and they found that the entire rear subframe had come apart due to corrosion.
Rear subframe has collapsed and disconnected from the unibody suddenly due to excessive corrosion. Car is only 12 years old and only has 150,000 miles on it. Collapse is sudden and makes the car difficult to steer and can result in erratic movements in handling.

Driving in a winter storm and hit ice and then went through a wooden fence and the air bags did not go off. I hit my head and the seat belt left a bruise.
Went to open tailgate window and the hinges were completely corroded off. I have parked car in garage since it was new. Appears to be a defect and is extremely dangerous as the window could end up flying off the car while driving causing a potential road hazard/accident if unnoticed.
