TOOK TRUCK TO BE INSPECTED FRAME CRACKED, REAR CAB MOUNTS ON INNER SIDE ROTTED, OUT FRONT OF BED ROTTED OUT. I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2001 PAID $23,000. FORD NEEDS TO REPLACE IT FOR THE SAME PRICE I PAID. NEW CAR OR TRUCK OR I GUESS AFTER BEING BROUGHT UP ON FORD I'LL GO TO CHEVROLET.
I purchased a 2001 Ford Ranger XLT two years ago and when I went to get a sticker on it last year I had to put a lot of money into having part of the frame replaced due to rot. This year I took it to Quirk Ford in Augusta to see what it would need before my sticker and was told that even if I get the basic regular maintenance done to get a sticker ($3k) it would NEVER get a sticker again due to the rot in the rocker panels and the frame. I've contacted Ford as it is only 8 years old and shouldn't be in that condition. They will do nothing about it. I am stuck with paying the remainder $5800 I owe on the vehicle and I can't get out of it due to the negative equity because of the condition the vehicle is in. I am the only source of income for our family of 3 right now and I can't afford to make two vehicle payments. I live too far from work to walk. It really upsets me that I'm stuck with no options for an issue that shouldn't even be.
