I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN I NOTICED SOMETHING HAPPENED AND FELT LIKE I HAD EMERGENCY BRAKES WOULD NOT DRIVE ANY MORE THAN 10 MILES AN HOUR, WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AS I DROVE INTO MY DRIVEWAY. NO EMERGENCY LIGHT WAS GIVEN ON MY PANEL. *TR

MY 07 SPORTAGE HAD DEVELOPED A MYSTERIOUS CREAK NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND GOING OVER BATCHES AND BUMPS(WHICH I IGNORED). THIS PROGRESSED INTO A RATHER LOUD CLUNK GOING OVER BUMPS THAT YOU COULD ALSO FEEL IN THE FLOORBOARDS. THIS PROMPTED ME TO TAKE A LOOK SEE AS TO THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE. TURNS OUT, THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE WAS DUE TO THE REAR CHASSIS CROSSMEMBER THAT MOUNTS THE UPPER TRAILING ARMS FOR THE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY HAD ROTTEN CLEAN THROUGH AND THE MOUNTING ARM ON THE RIGHT SIDE HAD BROKEN FREE. HERE YOU CAN SEE THE REMNANTS OF THE CROSSMEMBER AND MOUNTING BRACKET STILL BOLTED TO THE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY; THE DAMAGE WAS ACROSS THE ENTIRE CROSSMEMBER INCLUDING THE FUEL TANK MOUNT AND NOTE THE LEFT SIDE TRAILING ARM MOUNT WAS NOT TOO FAR AWAY FROM BREAKING OFF AS WELL. THE FRAME WAS ALSO ROTTED DOWN BY THE RIGHT REAR LOWER TRAILING ARM MOUNT. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAD A RECALL ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO FOR UNDERCOATING, I TOOK IT TO THE KIA DEALER IN YONKERS, NEW YORK...
