“Notified by person driving behind me my spare tire was going to fall out. Stopped and had someone look at it and the bed of my Ford Ranger had rusted out and if I hadn't stopped it would have fallen out on the highway. We examined under truck and the whole back bed is rusted out.”
NHTSA complaint #11002720, filed 2017-07, 91,000 miles“Both doors on my Ford Ranger 2009 froze shut, and I couldn't open them. This happened twice with the first cold weather. I put some silicone spray over the black seal. I owned other vehicles, and never had this problem. We are old, and this vehicle is not a year old. Why does the water freeze so quickly, is this a faulty design? Winter weather has just started. Thank you”
