Car was jerking when getting on/off the gas, and making a clunking noise when going over bumps. Engine subframe/radiator support rusted through. Mechanic cut away rusted bits and welded new steel in.

Windshield cracked. I don't believe due to impact, just extremes of temperature. Although the shop that replaced it said they found some corrosion on the mating surface, potentially causing stress that could have contributed to the windshield cracking.
