Consumer Description

This is the 2nd Ford F 150 pick up with which I've had rusted frames! The 1st, a 1999, I ended up junking. This one needs $2000 of welding to make the frame safe to drive. The proprietor of [XXX] Welding says he's done over 40 F 150's for the same problem with the frames. My mechanic, [XXX], at Shaw's Automotive, says he's seen F 150's that have collapsed around a lift when they were in for a simple oil change. The internet states this is a common issue with F 150's. SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY! These trucks should not be on the road until Ford repairs them or buys them back, like Toyota did in the 90's!!!! INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
