Consumer Description

I WENT TO HAVE MY BRAKES REPLACED ON MY F-150 WITH 54,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE FRAME WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND THAT HE WAS ABLE TO PUT A SCREWDRIVER THROUGH IT. HE DIDN'T WANT TO INSTALL THE BRAKES. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK SINCE NEW AND IT HAS (MOSTLY) BEEN GARAGED THROUGHOUT. THE BODY PANELS, INTERIOR , TRANSMISSION, ENGINE, ETC. ARE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED BY MANY OTHERS, SO I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A FORD RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT'S OBVIOUSLY BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME, BUT I NEVER LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO SEE THE EXTENT OF THE RUST, GIVEN THAT THE BODY WAS IN GREAT SHAPE (NO RUST).
