Consumer Description

BODY RUST AND ROT, ALONG THE ROCKER PANELS, BOTTOMS OF ALL DOORS AND RADIATOR SUPPORT. THIS WAS POINTED OUT TO LOCAL FORD DEALER WHERE PURCHASED, RESPONSE WAS IT WASN'T OUTER BODY RUST THRU, SO NO COVERAGE. THE RUST HAS PROGRESSED THAT ALL THE BOTTOM OF THE DOORS ,ROCKER PANELS AND RADIATOR SUPPORT HAVE RUSTED AWAY. I HAVE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM ON MANY OTHER EXPEDTIONS. IT SEEMS TO AFFECT THE 2000 MODEL YEAR ONLY. I HAVE MANY OTHER , OLDER AND HIGHER MILEAGE FORDS WITH A LITTLE OR NO RUST AT ALL. I DON'T THINK THE VEHICLE WILL PASS THE NEXT INSPECTION AND THIS HAS MADE THE VEHICLE WORTHLESS FOR TRADE OR SELLING. *KB
