2005 Mazda Tribute

While driving my 2005 mazda tribute on a paved city street, i noticed a sudden loud clanking/pounding in the passenger side, rear wheel well area. assumed it was a bad shock but soon discovered that the the wheel well had rusted completely out, there is now a hole to the inside of my car. some, but not much rust elsewhere on the vehicle (the other three wheel wells look great), but that part of the vehicle rusted through to the inside of the vehicle. not driveable anymore until this is addressed. the vehicle itself is very mechanically sound and will cared for. there are lots of examples on online forums of this exact issue, on both tributes and ford escapes. apparently there is a recall for these vehicles 01-04, but no further. exact same issue, exact same wheel well. please help!

Takata recall the rear passenger shock mount has rusted to the point to where it makes a horrible clunk severe metal to metal rattle while driving. i refuse to allow my wife to drive it due to safety concerns of the shock coming loose and causing an accident. this noise can be heard driving as slowly as 5mph while driving straight and turning on a flat smooth road. please make a recall for this year of mazda tribute as this is a major safety issue

Truck started making a loud noise coming from the rear passenger side. upon inspection it was discovered that the inner wheel had rusted badly and left shock mount hanging on by a small metal band. took it to a body shop they said because of the way the vehicle was constructed that it was impossible to fix. i have noticed there was a recall for this vehicle for 2001-2004 models and it appears for the number of complaints about this model on this registry that 2005 should be next.
