TAKATA AIRBAG 16S26 ON THE 12TH OF OCTOBER 2018 I WENT TO BILL KAY FORD IN MIDLOTHIAN ILLINOIS 60445. THEY PERFORM THE RECALL AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE ON THE 17TH THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THEY MADE A MISTAKE AND NEEDED ME TO BRING IT BACK I BROUGHT IT BACK ON THE 18TH OF OCTOBER AND EVERY SINCE THEN THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT HAS BEEN MAKING A GRINDING NOISE THAT I DIDN'T HEAR THE FIRST TIME THEY INSTALLED IT I TOOK IT BACK ON THE 23RD I SHOWED THEM THE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THE SOUND IT WAS MAKING TWO DIFFERENT WORKERS SAT IN THE TRUCK AND HEARD THE SOUND THEY KEPT THE TRUCK FOR 8 HOURS AND CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT THEY TIGHTENED EVERYTHING DOWN BUT IT WAS STILL MAKING THE SOUND AND IT WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT.I TRIED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO HAVE THEM INSTRUCT THE MIDLOTHIAN DEALERSHIP TO TAKE THE AIRBAG MODULE RECALL OUT SO I CAN GO TO A DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM PERFORM THE WORK CORRECTLY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO TELL THEM TO DO SO I CALLED MIDLOTHIAN AND ASKED THEM TO TAKE THE RECALL OUT SO I CAN HAVE SOMEONE DO IT CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME AT A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. AND THEY REFUSED TO DO SO I FEEL UNSAFE I AM ANNOYED AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE

MY 2007 FORD RANGER PICK UP TRUCK HAS EXTREME PREMATURE RUST TO THE ENTIRE FRAME RESULTING IN IT BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE RUST RESULTED IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH ONLY 83,557 MILES ON IT. THROUGH ONLINE INVESTIGATION AND BY TALKING TO OTHER FORD RANGER OWNERS I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON AND REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THE RANGERS. I KNOW THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FORMING IN TX OVER THIS EXACT ISSUE. I FEEL THIS WAS DECEPTIVE AND UNFAIR OF BOTH TOWNSEND FORD, THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE USED TRUCK, AND THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY BECAUSE WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PREMATURE RUSTING FRAME ISSUE. THE RUST IS SO EXTREME THAT THE SPARE TIRE CARRIAGE UNDERNEATH COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND THE TIRE DROPPED TO THE GROUND. ANOTHER PART OF THE ENGINE (THE E-VAP?) HAD TO BE STRAPPED UP FOR FEAR IT WILL DROP TO THE GROUND AS WELL. 2 AUTO MECHANICS AND 2 DEALERS TOLD ME IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WON'T PASS INSPECTION. (INCLUDING A FORD DEALER) MUCH OF THE SUPPORTING TRUCK FRAME IS COMPLETELY GONE OR FULL OF RUST HOLES AND CRACKS. ONE MECHANIC SUSPECTS THAT THE FRAME WAS NOT TREATED PROPERLY AT THE FACTORY, BECAUSE THE EXTREMELY RUSTED AND DECAYED FRAME IS ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, WHILE THE OTHER SIDE HAS ONLY NORMAL SURFACE RUST.THE CURRENT KELLY BLUE BOOK VALUE IS $8,000., BUT I CAN'T SELL IT- IT WON'T PASS INSPECTION, AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE.THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN CONTINUALLY SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN BOTH CITY AND COUNTRY AND WAS NEVER ABANDONED.
