Years ago, like 10 years ago, I had a pair that was cracked terribly. I threw them in the trash and bought a new set. The new set has been solid. They were better designed.
I never trusted plastic ramps..always used steel...I saw a steel ramp bend once...I had a friend make a set for me...all welded and rather long so I could get a low profile car up without damage to the bumper covers . they are kinda heavy , rather long but safety is number one in my book
If the failed ramps are only 3 months old, they will send replacements free. Similar thing happened to me driving a 2005 Suburban onto the front ramps.

The funny thing is that if I need a vehicle lifted I'd just as soon grab a jack and jack stands, so I hardly ever use my first pair of ramps, but OCD made me want another pair because they don't make stuff like they used to, well that and they were given to me for free except for spending $10 on a can of paint for them, but I'll have half that paint left over for something else.
This^ is what I use also, I've had them probably 35 years. Bent one once by overloading it...just straightened it out and welded the strap back on and been fine ever since.

Yep. Spend $40 so your wife doesn't have to buy a casket.
I have had an Expedition up on 4 Rhino ramps without issue. They come in various capacities. I have three pairs of 12000 GVW Rhino ramps. There is a 16000 lb GVW set available now. What capacity were the OP's ramps?
