The purchase of a 2001 Ford Ranger was made on April 3 2015, with 121,XXX miles. On the day of purchase, the vehicle had been inspected for safety and emissions by the dealership, and had passed. From what I could tell from my own personal inspection of the truck, it was in satisfactory condition.
A few months later on July 16 2015, the bed had started to tilt on the passenger side. After further inspecting the cause for the tilt, we found that a patch had camouflaged a severe crack in the frame and a 7/8 Craftsman wrench had been welded intro the frame to reinforce it in a weak area. Other deficiencies are expected, but not yet verified by official inspection.
I feel that this vehicle was unfit for sale, and has endangered my life and all those on the road. I also feel that this vehicle should not have passed inspection at the time of purchase, and was wrongfully approved as passing.
I am seeking helpful advice from a professional, so that I may possibly take my concerns to court.
