The strap on our Ford f 150 that holds up our gas tank broke and had to be replaced. Upon looking at the frame it was discovered that it was rusted out very badly and could be a driving hazard to drive. We are in the process of completely getting a new frame put under the truck. This truck is only ten years old and we think Ford should have some responsibility in fixing this problem. It is a one owner and we have taken very good care of it. It looks like the day we bought it except for the frame. I hate to think what could have happened if the gas tank had fallen off while we were driving on the expressway.
