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.
