While driving down the interstate, the vehicle caught on fire. Everything under the hood was destroyed.
My complaint is in regards to a Ford f150 series truck. The undercarriage and all parts under the truck are rusting out. Brakes/rotors just replaced and dealership stated that the thumping noise was due to the brake falling off of the truck. This is a very big safety issue and when contacting Ford, they stated that there was no recall and there was nothing that they could do about it. This is also along with the rusting of the doors and door frames and peeling paint issue that Ford has yet to take care of customers for this known issue. When calling Ford directly, they state they are very sorry, but yet they do nothing about it. Does someone need to die first before a recall is done like the issue with the cruise control deactivation switch that caused fires and an ederly woman and child were killed?.

While driving 30 mph consumer had to swerve to left to avoid hitting a dog, he then swerved to right to get back on right side of road. Vehicle rolled over, extensive damage to vehicle.
Problems with 2001 Ford f150 tire equipment. The new spare tire was removed from the undercarriage to used as a replacement for a front tire. When the tire was examined the consumer noticed several grooves about 3/8 of an inch deep had been rubbed into the sidewall of the spare. The tire agency did not recommend using the tire therefore the consumer kept the old front tire. The tire manufacturer was contacted and indicated that the grooves in the tire were cosmetic and that the tire was safe to use. The consumer believes there is a design flaw in the spare tire holder under the vehicle.
Front grill is out of adjustment by 1 to 11/2 centimeters and does not align with hood, fenders, and lights.
