5 Body problem

Failure Date: 09/30/2019

I went to have my brakes replaced on my F-150 with 54,000 miles on the odometer and the mechanic told me the frame was completely rusted out and that he was able to put a screwdriver through it. He didn't want to install the brakes. I have owned this truck since new and it has (mostly) been garaged throughout. The body panels, interior , transmission, engine, etc. Are in excellent shape. It appears to be the same problem reported by many others, so I'm not sure why there hasn't been a Ford recall on this dangerous situation. It's obviously been going on for some time, but I never looked under the truck to see the extent of the rust, given that the body was in great shape (no rust).

This is regarding a 2007 Ford f150 supercrew. During the vehicles yearly inspection it was discovered that the frame of the vehicle under the cab is completely rusted out and cracked extensively. It is cracked beyond repair and no longer safe to drive. This vehicle is only 12 years old and should not be experiencing extensive premature rust in this way. There are alot of these trucks on the road and it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.

Failure Date: 08/21/2014

I was driving down the road and I heard a loud popping noise so I pulled off on the side of the road and turned the truck off. I then saw smoke like the engine had overheated but in a matter of seconds flames ignited and I quickly got out of the vehicle and called 911. As I was speaking to the dispatcher there was a loud explosion and the whole front of my truck was engulfed in flames. By the time the fire department arrived and put out the fire my hood was totally burned up the engine is burned up and melted and the windshield and driver's side window blew out and the dash and front interior is burned and melted. I am lucky that I was able to get out in time because it happened so quickly. I am also glad my 10 month old son was not with me on this day.

I was stopping and about to park into a parking stall. As I was applying my brake, the vehicle suddenly accelerated. It jumped a curb, crossed a landscape island, took down shrubs, then stopped on the other side. It happened few other times, but not to this extend.

One other time it happened, it was raining when I thought perhaps it was the rain that caused it.
