Rusted crossmember, control arms, braces holding the gas tank. Safety concerns about the rust underneath my car (120K miles California vehicle) rust may have eaten through the metals underneath my car and im scared to drive with these rust problems because they might fail when im on the freeway with the possibility of a bad accident causing my life and other peoples life on the line. I dont drive my car no more than 10 miles anymore due to this rust problem. The picture I provided doesnt look that bad but lifting the car up in the air going underneath will give you the idea of how bad it is. I have owned vehicles that are almost 30 years older than the current car that I have and I had no problem with rust underneath the car and this is actually my first time experiencing this problem and im worried about my safety. I hope this gets taken action and will give me any leads to fix this problem.
