THIS 2005 TRUCK WAS KEPT IN A GARAGE FOR THE LAST 13 YEARS, ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT AND THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY ROTTED AND RUSTED. HAD THIS TRUCK INSPECTED THIS WEEK AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW FRAME TO PASS INSPECTION. THE REST OF THE TRUCK IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT THIS FRAME HAS ROTTED AWAY WHEN NOT EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS AND KEPT IN VERY GOOD CONDITION MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD RANGERS. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BY FORD ABOUT THIS DEFECT LIKE TOYOTA DID... PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I AM VERY UPSET THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY TRUCK. I LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND CAN NOT AFFORD A NEW VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD FOR SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 17S42/NHTSA RECALL 17V787 &17V788 FOR MY 2005 FORD RANGER IN EARLY AUGUST 2018. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, MATTHEWS FORD IN NORWICH, N.Y 13815, TO SCHEDULE AN APPT. FOR REPAIR. ON 8/20 I RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER FROM MOTOR VEHICLE DEPT. STATING NOT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRED, I CALLED MATTHEWS FORD AGAIN ON 8/23 TO CHECK ON WHEN PARTS WOULD BE IN TO MAKE AN APPT. AND I WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT WOULD BE. IT HAS BEEN OVER A MONTH SINCE I RECEIVED MY FIRST NOTIFICATION AND I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN DO EXCEPT WAIT FOR THE FORD DEALER TO GET THE PARTS NECESSARY FOR REPAIR. I ASKED THE FORD SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT A LOANER VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK WITH FORD AND THEY WOULD SEND ME TO A RENTAL AGENCY SUCH AS HERTZ. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED ANYONE ELSE AT THIS TIME, I HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME WITH THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES ON BOTH OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE (ONE IN DECEMBER 2015 FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE OTHER IN FEBRUARY 2016 FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE). I DID NOT DO ANYTHING IN DECEMBER 2015 SINCE MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COULD BE TURNED OFF. WHEN I GOT THE SECOND NOTICE ABOUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE, I CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY RATHER THAN RISK INJURING SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS REPLACED ON NOVEMBER 10, 2017. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLACE MY AIRBAGS WITHOUT AN AUTHORIZATION FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY SINCE I HAD TAKEN THE DEPLOYMENT CANISTER OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND DISCARDED IT. I DID THIS BECAUSE I STILL NEEDED TO USE THE COVERING INSERT IN MY STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER ADVISED ME TO CONTACT FORD MOTOR COMPANY "FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP/ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE" AT PHONE # 1-800-392-3673. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THEY HAD TO HAVE THE RECALLED AIRBAG CANISTER TO GET CREDIT FOR REPLACING IT. SO NEITHER OF MY AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. DO I HAVE ANY OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPLACED, AT THIS POINT, OTHER THAN PAYING THE COST OF REPAIR MYSELF?
