Frame Rust problems of the 2006 Ford Ranger

The rear frame crossmember rusted to the point where the spare tire it supports almost fell out. I noticed it was hanging about 6� low so I caught it before it fell. The entire part is horribly corroded. Note that the wood was temporarily installed to hold the steel up to drive home.

The body on my fx4 Ford Ranger is in really great condition, the frame is rusting away. Mostly on the driver side bed. Is there any recall on this. Thanks for your time. Sincerely [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

2006 Ford Ranger. The whole frame is rusting bad enough it has to be replaced. There has been a few places patched and the cross member news to be replaced as well.

Takata recall on my Ford Ranger underneath the truck where the frame is it has been completely eaten up by rust. My spair tire has fallen off because the frame is covered in rust. And the main body frame rust off and it's completely disconnected under the bed. My vehicle was in motion when I lost the spair tire.

Rust. Spring shackles rusted through causing springs to dislodge and rub body bed. Bed of truck rusted through causing holes. Running boards have sever rust and need replacing. Vehicle has 60,000 miles and under carriage has rusted holes in frame.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford Ranger. While the vehicle was at a shop for routine maintenance, the contact was informed that the entire subframe was severely rusted, and that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The contact also stated that the brake lines were rusted through. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

Was driving and the bracket and cross member that holds the spare tire bracket up broke due to the frame being all rusted/scalely and rotted out which also led to the shackles being broken. When this bracket broke, my spare tire was hanging down and dragging on the ground which could have caused a serious accident. After the tire was taken down, this is when the deplorable condition of the frame was clearly visible. This truck should not even have been sold to me off of the wyoming valley motors dealership lot in larksville, PA. I have had the truck less than 14 months and put less than 3,000 miles on the truck. The frame and undercarriage is unfit to be on the road and should not have been sold especially at a big dealership lot. I have also contacted Ford and they will not stand behind their truck and do anything about it.

Frame is rusted out will not pass inspection. Spare tire holer rusted out. Tire would have fallen out. Cross member rusted out. We have a metalworking shop and will weld and repair ourselves at great time and expense. Point of rustout is near where the front bracket is to hold the spring. Give e-mail and I can send pictures.

I have a 2006 Ford Ranger that I purchased new (its my second Ranger I had a 1996 that I traded in. I really like Rangers but have run into a major problem with rust on my Ranger. The spring shackles rusted and broke on both sides last week. I took my bed off to replace the shackles and found the brackets were also rusted out. The frame is very rusty and there is rusted holes through on the drivers side rear frame. I have have not got to the frame under the cab or front of truck yet. Is there a recall or can I expect help from Ford. The safety factor of the frame concerns me.

Purchased this vehicle in 2007 with 8k miles and had some rust on the frame. Now, 2013 I have 24k miles and the frames is completely corroded and my brakes are failing due to the rust. Have already sanded the frame and painted, but the rust comes back. This a big safety concern because parts can break while driving.
