“I recently replaced rotted parts of the underside of my Ford range, spring shackles, schocks and schock mount brackets. I did this repair to make mu truck safer, after 3 weeks of driving with the new repairs the frame began to crack and is about to split in half... Not so safe. The body is in great shape, but I can't drive the truck with the frame in its current condition. Back road driving 3 days a week.”
NHTSA complaint #11111751, filed 2018-07, 79,000 miles“I was filling air in the driver rear tire and I saw rot and bad rust on the frame before and after the spring shackle a crack from bottom of the frame to the top on both sides the frame is super thin and is now not drivable bc it's very dangerous to be driven if it ever broke someone or multiple people could get injured or even killed looks like it's been cracked for a long time I've owned it 9 months it was bought from a local dealer.”
NHTSA complaint #10820309, filed 2016-01, 137,706 miles“Transmission went out at 70749 miles. Purchased 04/11/2003. On 09/15/2003 noticed transmission slipping, made appt for 09/18 with dealership where I purchased it used. Transmission went out on a busy intersection and had to be pushed to the side by police and towed to dealership to make my appt. Cost $3113 to replace - dealer basically to bad for you . Also - AC condenser needs replacing at a cost of $570 cannot afford to do condenser yet.... This has been a very expensive vehicle so far, we've owned it less than 6 months!”
NHTSA complaint #10039527, filed 2003-09, 70,749 miles“Both the back seat small doors were locked and unoperable since 2015 (the dealer refused to repair without paying for service- they said will cost $1,000.00 for each door and just to exam cost. That was not the repair cost yet) 2020 in august, perhaps, the back gate door for the trunk suddenly collapsed, felled out from the roller. That was the passenger side of the back gate to the bed of the truck I had to put back to the roller. And, it is not sure that the gate is stable condition. …”
