Rear Suspension Springs problems of the 2002 Ford F-150

I was driving my 2002 Ford F-150 VIN # (1ftrf17262nco7517) down the highway at 45mph when it started wheel hopping from the rear very bad, there was a school bus stopped letting children off & as I was braking it was hopping & was a near miss, this was close. I pulled the truck off the side of the road to inspect as I am mechanically inclined & retired, for the first 10 years of my life I worked in the automobile field because I had schooling for it, anyway I looked under the truck & spotted the problem right off the bat, both rear center leaf springs are broken bigger than crap. I am 54 and a die hard Ford fan and have been since the age of 16, that is all I have owned & I am thinking about switching brands because this is not the first time I have been disappointed with this truck. I am the second owner, I bought it in 10/2004 with 13,000 miles. It has never had anything over 100 pounds hauled in it and I am the only one who has driven it since I bought it. Is there any recalls for my truck on this problem? can Ford motor company do anything for me? thank you jeffrey hannan.

The rear portion of the frame is rotten to the point that the let springs hangers are ready to break off the frame and the spare tire holder is also ready to fall off. I just replaced the rear spring shackles due to the were also rotten and broke. The gas tank straps were also a problem due to rust but Ford though enough of the problem there was a recall on that, Toyota had a problem with rusted frames and did a massive recall on that issue. Why hasn't Ford done the same thing? the frame should be the last thing one needs to worry about with any vehicle. The truck currently has 146000 miles and now we need to figure out what the next move will be with this vehicle. Repair it, junk it or trade it ?????.
