Consumer Description

2001 FORD RANGER 4X4 EXTENDED CAB - FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT IN THE REAR AND HAS HOLES RUSTED THROUGH IN THE FRONT WHERE SUSPENSION PARTS ARE MOUNTED. FRAME RUSTED OUT COMPLETELY AT REAR SPRING MOUNTS THEY BROKE LOOSE WENT UP AND HIT BED ONE SIDE POKED HOLE IN BED. I CALLED FORD AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AS TOYOTA HAS RECENTLY RECALLED TRUCKS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING 70 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE WHEN THE REAR BRACKETS BROKE LOOSE SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS TOYOTA HAS. *TR
