2004 Ford FREESTAR Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	946276
Internal NHTSA #	10480611
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	FORD
Model	FREESTAR
Model Year	2004
File date	10/10/12
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The left rear seat anchor has detached from the body due to excessive rust in the rear quarter panel by the left rear wheel well. The third seat is no longer usable and there is a hole through the body that lets air and water into the passenger compartment. The right side wheel well area shows rust as well but the seat anchor has not yet detached from the quarter panel. Two ford dealers have said they are not aware of this problem occurring and do not know if it can be fixed. My concern is safety while driving the vehicle, noise and water entering the passenger compartment, and the loss of use of the third seat. This vehicle is too young and useful to be scrapped.
