NHTSA Complaint #10721228 — 2005 FORD F-150

MY 2005 F150 XLT FRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH ON THE DRIVER,S SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I PURCHASED IT IN DECEMBER OF 2005 SO IT HAS NOT SEEN TEN YEARS OF SERVICE YET. IT WILL NOT PASS VERMONT STATE INSPECTION WHICH MEANS I WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT ON PUBLIC ROADS DUE TO SAFETY REASONS. THE BODY IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 41,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST, 2005 TO GET THE TRUCK FIXED SO IT WILL PASS INSPECTION. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THE FRAME WHICH SUPPORTS ALL OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE TRUCK NEEDS TO AND SHOULD DEFINITELY LAST MUCH LONGER THAN TEN YEARS. WILL THERE BE A RECALL ON THESE TRUCKS TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE FRAMES SOON? IT WILL BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED LOCALLY.
