THE KOONS FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS INSPECTED THE VAN AND CONCLUDED THAT THE REAR AXLE AND FRONT SUB-FRAME HAVE FAILED BECAUSE OF CORROSION AND BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS \"OPERATED\" REGULARLY IN MARYLAND AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AS WELL AS DRIVEN IN THE WINTER IN SNOW AND ICE CONDITIONS IN HIGH CORROSION STATES. WE WERE TOLD BY KOONS THAT AN EXTENSION OF THE RECALL WAS DENIED BY FORD BECAUSE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED IN HIGH CORROSION STATES, IT WAS NOT REGISTERED IN A HIGH CORROSION STATE. NORTHERN VIRGINIA WEATHER IS SIMILAR TO OFFICIAL ADJACENT HIGH CORROSION STATES.  THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GROUPS NORTHERN VIRGINIA WITH AREAS OF MARYLAND AND DC WITH REGARD TO SNOW FALL. \"SODIUM CHLORIDE (SALT) IS VIRGINIA'S PRIMARY SNOW REMOVAL AND ICE CONTROL CHEMICAL\".  THE \"REGISTRATION\" REQUIREMENT IS ERRONEOUS. CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO WHETHER A VEHICLE WAS OPERATED IN HIGH CORROSION AREAS, WHERE SALT IS USED .
