Consumer Description

1999 FORD RANGER XLT 4WD,VIN [XXX], FRAME RUSTED ALMOST IN HALF ON THE LEFT REAR, JUST AHEAD OF REAR AXLE. LARGE PORTION OF OUTSIDE FRAME RAIL IS MISSING. REAR SPRING SHACKLES REPLACE 1 YEAR AGO. TRUCK IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHERWISE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SEVERE RUST ON THE REAR PORTION OF FRAME, WHICH RENDERS THE TRUCK USELESS. ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I'VE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND IT TO BE VERY COMMONPLACE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. I CANNOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
