Consumer Description

VEHICLE HAS SEVERE FRAME RUST. RECENTLY REAR BUMPER FELL OFF DUE TO FRAME DETERIORATION. BUMPER BRACKETS HAD NOTHING TO SECURE TO. MORE RECENTLY, ONE OF THE STRAPS HOLDING THE GAS TANK BROKE AWAY FROM THE FRAME DUE TO SEVERE DETERIORATION OF THE FRAME. I HAD TO IMPROVISE A RESTRAINT STRAP SINCE A REPLACEMENT WOULD DO NO GOOD SINCE THE FRAME CONNECTION AREA WAS ROTTED THRU. LEAF SPRING BRACKETS ARE ON THE VERGE OF SEPARATION FROM THE FRAME, AGAIN DUE TO SEVERE FRAME DETERIORATION. THE EXTERIOR BODY AND INTERIOR ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. FOR A 2000 VEHICLE TO HAVE THIS SERIOUS OF A FRAME PROBLEM HAS TO BE THE RESULT FOR POOR MATERIAL AND/OR MATERIAL RUST PROOFING. FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHER 2000 RANGER OWNERS FOR SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR
