2000 Chevrolet Tracker Complaints

FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHERE TIRE IS ABOUT TO SINK IN. *TR

I RECENTLY HAD MY 2000 CHEVY TRACKER 4DR IN FOR PENNSYLVANIAS STATE INSPECTION AND AT THAT TIME MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SUSPENSION BAR IS ROTTING AWAY FROM THE FRAME. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS AND WHICH STATES THAT GM HAD EXTENDED A SPECIAL WARRANTY PROGRAM FOR THIS ISSUE IN THE SNOW/SALT STATES. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND WHICH GM SEEMS TO ADMIT. MY VEHICLE HAS 114000 MILES ON IT AND CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR ON MY OWN. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND ASKED FOR A RECALL SEARCH, AT THAT TIME I WAS TOLD THERE ARE NONE AND WHEN I MENTIONED THE SPECIAL WARRANTY THEY STATED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICES FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT EXISTS AND WOULD LIKE SOME HELP WITH THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU *TR

PLEASE FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY-OF-LIFE ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES AS A CATASTROPHIC COLLAPSE OF THIS COMPONENT, IF IT OCCURS DURING DRIVING, RESULTS IN WHEEL COLLAPSE BECAUSE THIS MEMBER SUPPORTS THE WHEELS A-FRAME. I ESTIMATE THIS RUSTING HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE 2009 EVEN THOUGH I JUST SAW IT IN 2012. I BASE THIS ON THE FACT THAT IN 2012 THERE WAS A HOLE RUSTED THROUGH THE CROSS MEMBER THAT I COULD FIT MY THUMB THROUGH HOWEVER, HOLES OF THIS SIZE USUALLY TAKE A FEW YEARS TO DEVELOP AND I NEVER NOTICED IT PREVIOUSLY. THIS MEANS THAT SUB-SURFACE RUSTING WAS OCCURRING FOR A FEW YEARS WITH SUR...
