Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have a 98 Mazda which is made by ford....VIN sticker on the door states such. Same as 98 ranger. Both of my rear leaf spring shackles have rusted off so severely that they went through the bed of the truck. The rear end of the frame is rotting off and the spare tire support and tire as well. The truck only has 66,000 miles and runs great. This is a safety issue as my rear bumper could fall off, the spare tire could fall off, and the frame already broke letting the leaf springs go right through the bed. …”
