Consumer Description

MY 2000 FORD RANGER SUPERCAB HAS A BADLY RUSTED FRAME. I RECENTLY WAS UNDER THE VEHICLE TO DO EXHAUST WORK WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE FRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH AT THE REAR LEAF SPRING SUPPORT SHACKLE. ALSO, THE FRAME SUPPORT FOR THE REAR BUMPER IS RUSTED AND THE FRAME IS SPLIT. I BROUGHT PHOTOS OF THE FRAME TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE FRAME WAS COMPROMISED BUT STATED THAT FORD DID NOT HAVE A RECALL OR ANY REMEDIATION PROGRAM FOR THIS PROBLEM. IN SHORT, THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 109,000 MILES ON IT AND IS NOW NOT SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD AND IS ONLY WORTH SCRAPE VALUE. I WOULD HOPE TO SEE FORD DIRECTED TO CHECK THE EXTENT OF THIS PROBLEM AND BE REQUIRE TO MAKE REPAIRS. *TR
