What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford ranger. While driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle began to shift sideways abnormally. In addition, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the front passenger side wheel was emitting smoke and the wheel was partially detached from the vehicle.
Awful banging sound while driving, inspected truck, found rear bumper hanging half off. Rear portion of both frame rails had rotten off. Rear spring shackles rotten and not attached. I pulled the bumper off with my bare hands! If it had fallen off while I was driving it could have killed someone. This is not an old beat up truck, as a matter of fact it only has 17,000 mile on it. It still looks brand new.
