Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY FORD AND THE BACK BUMPER DROPPED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, SENDING IT AND THE SPARE TIRE TO THE PAVEMENT. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE FRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH AND ONLY HOLDING ON BY A SMALL BIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ALSO, THE SPARE TIRE SUPPORT IS ONLY HOLDING BY APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 INCHES. IN ADDITION, THE CROSS MEMBER FORWARD OF THE SPARE TIRE SUPPORT THAT SUPPORTS THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CONTROLS IS VIRTUALLY ROTTED IN HALF.
