The contact owns a 2005 Ford F-150. The contact stated that when he had the vehicle serviced that the independent mechanic informed him that the front and rear frame of the vehicle was rusted and he should not be driving the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance but did inform the contact to contact NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.
Cross-reference Ford TSB 07-13-5: water leak from ac has flooded the passenger floor pan and all associated carpeting and padding. Significant health hazard exists in warm climates due to the proliferation of respiratory hazards including but not limited to legionnaire's disease. The item should be a recall for this reason. I have lost use of my truck due to the inability to sufficiently dry the padding - I have had the vehicle drying for one week in hot florida sun to no avail.
The contact owns a 2005 Ford f150. The contact stated while driving approximately 5-10 mph and attempting a turn, the driver side mirror was obstructing her view of anything on the drivers side of the vehicle. The contact stated the outside trim of the door was also obstructing her view of the left side when attempting a turn. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileage was unknown.
Purchased a 2005 F-150 4x4 Ford pick-up truck and immediately felt a strong vibration throughout the truck. Took it back to three different dealerships each one claiming they fix it. The vibration still exists and now the steering wheel is vibrating. I believe this truck is unsafe. I will continue to exhaust all avenues to repair or replace this truck.
Ford F-150 developed severe chassis shudder at 60 mph on freeway. Exited freeway and shudder did not continue when travel resumed.

The wiring that under the floor mat on the passenger side was under water and froze into ice. When the manufacturer was contacted they offered an extended warranty to the contact. No repairs have been made.
