I was driving down the interstate on the way to work around 8 pm. When the car in front of my slammed on their brakes. I reacted in accordance and hit my brakes pretty hard. When I did my truck pulled to the left and took me into the median. When I tried to correct my vehicle the back end started sliding out as I tried to get back on the road. When my truck finally caught traction it shot me to the other side of the road where it did the same thing. Sliding the back end out. This time I was sliding perpendicular to the highway and when my truck found something solid to stop the slide it started to roll. During the crash I was thrown through the windshield after the first roll and knocked unconscious. After I was released from the hospital I went to collect the things from my truck that had been picked up. When I got to the vehicle I noticed that non of my airbags hadn't deployed even though it was a pretty serious crash that totaled my truck. The cab and bed of the truck were both crumpled but not a single air bag had deployed.

My truck caught on fire yesterday. Due to a heat shield missing over passenger side catalytic converter caused the plastic grommets that hold the sound barrier material on the floorboard to drop and hang on top of the catalytic converter until the material caught on fire. My insurance company is still investigating how the catalytic converter heat shield was missing. Less than a month after I bought the truck and it was used, they had to do service work on it because I purchased the truck with a broken front coil spring and the transmission dipstick tube had rotted. Even though the truck was missing a heat shield, I believe there should be any kind of flammable material near the catalytic converter just in case a heat shield happens to rot and fall off or for any reason the heat shield is missing . The fire traveled through the material almost to the top of my engine. After I got the flames out it was still smoldering and smoldered up into a space I could not reach to nor see. I also believe a fire retardant system should be created to douse flames in a section of an engine compartment that cannot be reached and would probably save countless lives property and invested money into vehicle and other things that a vehicle on fire could destroy.

We bought our 2006 f150 in 2015, thinking we'd have it for years to come. By 2017, two separate mechanics had told us that there was �catastrophic corrosion� to the frame. Both recommended that we have a new frame fabricated. One of them found out that earlier f150s were recalled because of a bad frame coating that caused irreparable rust. He believes the �06 should be included as well. This car was always garage kept till we got it, and had never been flooded. There are numerous other complaints about this issue, but Ford refuses to act. We ended up with a $12000 yard ornament, and can't even sell it because no one else wants to deal with refabricating the frame. We were told not to drive the truck, as the frame could basically buckle at any time. Ridiculous that this hasn't been investigated. I fear the more time that passes, the less likely it will be that an investigation takes place.

Gas and brake pedal are too close together. You could still be giving it gas while you are pushing on the brakes. I see hundreds of complaints about this online. I was pulling into a parking spot when I thought I was applying the brakes the other half of my foot was on the gas causing me to jump the curb and crash into a wall.

I was loading stuff into the back seat of my 2006 F-150. The wind caught the front door and it slammed shut. The bottom of the door is extremely sharp and stuck into my leg. It required staples because it was to deep for stitches. Upon inspection, the door is not put together properly and the edges are not sealed.
