★ Top Answer
Current recalls have not been issued for Ford Ranger frames. However, rust has been a known issue, prompting Ford to address each case individually to decide on repair or replacement. Recalls typically occur when a manufacturer identifies high failure rates or safety concerns with a component, leading to part replacement at no cost at participating dealerships. For trucks under warranty experiencing rust issues, it is advisable to contact Ford directly to explore available solutions.

I own a 2005 Ranger with just 67,000 miles on it, but the frame is in such terrible condition that it's on the verge of snapping in half. The leaf spring shackles and cross members of the frame are filled with holes, making it look like Swiss cheese. It's a real disgrace.

I own a 2006 model that I purchased brand new in 2005. The back bumper rusted and detached from the frame. The spare tire fell off on the highway because the bracket rusted through. Additionally, the rear spring shackles rusted and broke away from the frame. It seems like Ranger frames are made of poor quality steel that is prone to rusting.

I recently purchased a 2004 Ford Ranger standard cab. When I picked it up, it was already dark outside, and I noticed a significant amount of rust on the frame. This is my third truck, as I previously owned a Tacoma pickup, but switching to the Ranger turned out to be a big mistake. However, Toyota was able to fix the issue at no cost.

I spent $4500 buying it and invested an additional $1400 into it, only to discover this month that the frame did not pass a safety inspection. I am a retired individual relying on social security, and I had intended to keep this truck for life. Now, I'm financially drained and unsure how I will manage without a vehicle. :(

I own a 2019 Ford Ranger super crew, and I've noticed that the frame in the back is beginning to rust. Despite experiencing various recall issues with this truck, I have never actually received any notification letters that they supposedly send out. Now, I'm considering selling my truck to upgrade to a better one, and after discovering 7 recalls, it seems like I won't be sticking with Ford for my next purchase.

The frame on my 2008 Ford Ranger is in worse condition than the Toyota that was recalled. They should have to replace them. This is my third Ranger, and all three have the same issue.
