Consumer Description

AT 75,000 MILES THIS VEHICLE RECENTLY FAILED NH STATE SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST ON THE UNIBODY AND SUBFRAME/ CONTROL ARM PASSENGER SIDE. THE INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED AT OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. OTHERWISE VEHICLE LOOKS DATED BUT NEW, TAKEN CARE OF WELL. EVEN THE ORIGINAL STEP BARS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH LITTLE TO NO RUST.FORD HAS A RECALL ON THE 2001-2004 MODEL YEARS FOR WHAT APPEAR TO BE THE SAME ISSUE AND WILL REMEDY BY INSTALLING AN ADDITIONAL BRACE. THIS DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A GOOD/ SAFE IDEA TO ME
