Default check k frame for rust

Well driving home on parkway i get off exit drive 2 min hear a snap. My rear end starts swingin like im at a drift event almost hit divider. Ended up facing wrong way on Highway i Was blessed that all the traffic stopped. Well tow guy said i need a new k-frame i saw it was rusted. Just bought the car 2 weeks ago. Just want rest of members to check there rears for bad rust so this doesnt happen to anyone else. If this happened on parkway i wouldnt have walked away unhurt

i dont know how the jersey DMV or state law is, but in cali, if frame damage/issues is not disclosed, you can take that car right back to where you bought it from and they have to refund you your money. i'd look into that.
