“I am upset that this tire shop sold me tires that have been discontinued. I paid 312.00 for two tires and when I went to buy two more I was told they were discontinued. Their is no warranty except a manufacturers warranty. I wanted to get all 4 the same. That is my complaint”
NHTSA complaint #11194852, filed 2019-04, 250,000 miles“1999 Ford Ranger 3.0 v6 frame is completely rotted and falling apart frame of a truck that has been parked in a gradge its entire life and only driven in snow and rain but parked indoors and very well taken care of and my entire frame is shot! Something has to be done about this issue I've seen many people with the same issue and Ford should do something about it I can literally poke it with my finger and poke a hole thou the frame...and to make it worse I've been driving it without knowing how bad it was til the back bumper fell off today in traffic and had another car smash it !!!! …”
NHTSA complaint #10871711, filed 2016-05, 115,000 miles“While driving down the road I went over some bumps in the road and truck lurched sideways suddenly, after that the handling of the truck was extremely poor. Upon inspection of the truck I saw that the rear frame of the truck from the rear leaf spring mount back was severely rotted (the frame has rot holes in it) and the drivers side rear leaf spring mount had rotted off the frame. The truck has no body rot whatsoever and has been well cared for and the frame should not rot out before there is ever a spec of rust on the body.”
NHTSA complaint #10420256, filed 2011-08, 77,000 miles“My grandfather bought this truck new and replaced the rear spring hangers in10/2009. I have the truck now. After pressure washing the frame I noticed the frame cross member has a hole in it at the muffler. Front spring hangers are extremely rusty as is the shock mounts. The frame from the cab to rear is extremely rusty and thin looking. The spare tire holding area has a hole in it. This truck has never been off road or in the mud. Very little time on the road in the winter. The body is in excellent shape as is the frame from cab to front. Truck has only 98,000 miles on it now. …”
NHTSA complaint #10429808, filed 2011-10, 80,000 miles“The frame near my back wheels is completely rusted out and there is now a big crack on both sides of the frame. The rust amounts are excessive, and in my opinion seem to be a failure in design of the frame. The truck has only 105,000 miles on it and the frame in that section of the car has serious rust while the rest of the car looks good. All of the connections in the back have a lot of rust, more than can be attributed to poor maintenance. If I hadn't seen this crack developing in the frame a serious accident could have resulted. I feel Ford should be held accountable for a faulty product”
