The frame is rusted through and cracked on the left rear end. The bars to support the drive shaft is rusted off and the mounts for the rear springs have been repaired once and are almost rusted off again. There is heavy rust on the right side frame but not rusted through. The truck body has only 3 surface rust marks and 2 small dings. The truck has original paint (except for left fender and hood). Truck was garage kept and interior is perfect.

My complaint is the vehicle frame, specifically the rear most part where the rear bumper mounts to the frame. The frame is full of rust holes in that area and I can only surmise in a light rear end collision that this area will crumble. This is absolutly a failureby Ford to issue a recall with a proper repair! now at the owners expense, not inexoensive by any means a full frame or rear frame section replacement! this is on many Ranger, in fact I replaced a frame on a families1997, total baloney! who ade the frame Toyota?!!

Ck engine light stays on even when there is nothing wrong, the windshield wipers come on without warning which often scares the driver, the door chime stays on even when the doors are shut and is enough to cause a big headache and road rage, and the dome light stays on and has to be disconnected so that it does not run the battery down. Now, these complaints appear to be separate in their own problem, but I have read that many people are experiencing these same problem all at the same time. We have recently paid the $700 to fix the problem on because the chime got to where it would never turn off at all. We are military and had to rely on our parents to help pay for the repairs. The problems were on going for a while, but we were able to "live" with it rather than pay the high cost repair. Now I have found that these problems are a quality issue that Ford should be responsible for. Our truck is upkept very well and other than these problems it has been a good truck. Ford has made a faulty product and it should not be the consumers responsibility to pay for a repair that isnt cause by normal wear and tear or owner neglect. I have went in circles with the 1800-392-Ford rep and the dealer and because we have over 65000 miles they wont even attempt to look into the matter. I have gather numerous complaint from the internet and am in the process of having a Ford rep look into my complaint, but something needs to be done. People need to know that they are not the only ones suffering the ill effects of a faulty product.
