REAR OF TRUCK IS ROTTING AWAY TO NOTHING. HAD THE REAR OF THE FRAME PLATED A FEW YEARS AGO WHERE THE SHACKLE BRACKETS BOLT ON. NOW I NOTICED ONE OF THE FUEL TANK STRAPS HANGING. THE CROSSMEMBER THAT HOLDS IT IS ROTTED AWAY TO NOTHING. TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC. HE CALLED ME AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR & TOLD ME THE TRUCK WAS JUNK. THE WHOLE FRAME & CROSSMEMBERS FROM THE CAB BACK ARE RUSTED HORRIBLY. HE TOLD ME NOT TO EVEN DRIVE THE TRUCK BECAUSE IT WASN'T SAFE. *TR

FIRST FAILURE WAS WHERE LEAF SPRINGS ATTACH TO FRAME (REAR SHACKLES) FAILED DUE TO RUST AND PUT HOLE IN TRUCK BED. REPLACED PARTS. SECOND FAILURE IS WHEN FILLING TANK WITH FUEL; GAS HAS STARTED TO RUN OUT ON THE GROUND AT THE GAS STATION. JUST RECEIVED FILLER NECK TODAY TO REPLACE CURRENT RUSTED ONE. WHILE UNDER VEHICLE NOTICED TANK STRAP IS HANGING LOOSE NOT ATTACHED DUE TO CONNECTION POINT RUSTED OFF (SIMILAR FAILURE TO NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN #11V385000 FUEL TANK STRAP FAILURE). ALSO NOTICED SEVERE RUST LIKE LITTLE OR NO RUST INHIBITOR WAS APPLIED TO FRAME AND COMPONENTS. SHIELD ABOVE MUFFLER IS ALMOST NON-EXISTENT, FRAME CROSS MEMBER IS FLAKING AWAY DUE TO RUST. I AM NOT QUALIFIED TO PROVIDE FULL DETAILS OF PROBLEMS OR CAUSE BUT RUST IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF RECALL. *TR

WHEN IT RAINS GALLONS OF WATER COMES THROUGH THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR, THOUGH THE DASHBOARD, DOWN THE FLOOR BOARD. THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FIRE. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. *AK NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WOULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *SC *JB

RUNNING BOARDS ARE UNSAFE. THEY ARE LOCATED TOO FAR UNDER THE VEHICLE, MAKING THEM VERY AWKWARD AND DANGEROUS TO USE, FORCING THE OCCUPANT TO TWIST THEIR ANKLE TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE, THEY ARE NOT VISIBLE FROM THE INTERIOR, FORCING THE OCCUPANT TO GUESS WHERE THEY ARE, WHICH MAKES THEM USELESS AND DANGEROUS. BECAUSE THE STEPS ARE NOT VISIBLE FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE, SMALL CHILDREN CAN EASILY MISS THE STEP AND FALL FROM THE VEHICLE. *AK
