I wonder how much safety is at issue with a frame that is on it's way out but not quite gone enough. I would think for the amount of money they charge for a new vehicle a person should expect items like the frame and brake lines and power steering rack (lines) to last for at least 20 years. I just replaced all the brake lines on my 97 Explorer and my power steering rack (rotten lines) which in turn lead to new transmission cooling lines along with the shocks, front torsion bar bolts (one went after 6 years due to rot). I wish they would build a vehicle that would not rot out from under you. At least the fuel lines are stainless steel why not the other lines, especially brakes and steering (I forgot those they went about 3 years ago). And I have never taken this on the beach.
