Consumer Description

TOOK MY TRUCK FOR ITS NYS INSPECTION TO MY FORD DEALER-- TECH STATED HE COULD NOT PASS THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE RUST ON A PART OF THE FRAME. THIS VEHICLE HAS UNDER 39K MILES ON IT AND IS WELL- MAINTAINED. THE REST OF THE TRUCK IS PERFECT AND THE REST OF THE FRAME HAS AN EXPECTABLE AMOUNT OF RUST FOR THIS CLIMATE. I HAVE HAD FOUR OTHER FORD TRUCKS USED AND STORED UNDER SAME CONDITIONS AND NONE HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH FRAME RUST. THE OFFENDING PART IS A FRONT CROSS MEMBER THOUGH WHICH SOME BOLTS PASS. THE HOLES AROUND THE BOLTS ARE "ROTTEN".
