Well, there is no frame. The car is a unibody. I think you should descibe exactly what is broken. If you can, post a picture.

Of course since it is broken it will need to be fixed but if we can figure out what is broken then we can give you advice on how to fix it, how much it will cost, and what your options are for the replacement part.

sorry about that.....it is broke where the floor part of the subframe meets the torque boxes.....It looked to me like the weld that connects the two broke and it started ripping .......sorry no pics yet going to the dealership where I bought it to let them look at it to see if they will do anything about it since the car only has 61k miles and I have the ford extra care warranty left on it

Have you owned it since new? If not, are you sure it wasn't used a few times down the 1320? Torn torque boxes are a sure sign of past hard launches...
