I have a 2005 f150 fx4 that I bought in 2010. In 2017 with the truck being 12 years old. I had to remove the vehicle from the road because of frame rot! this was my baby and taken well care of. Both sides in front of the rear axle are rotted out to the point a jack just goes right through them. The inspection failed because if they would have lifted it, it would have folded in half. Also has a broken front left coil spring. I should have a vehicle worth around 8-10 grand that is going to sell for scrap metal priced. Why are american auto maker not held responsible for making defective vehicles? my previous vehicle was an 199o Toyota tacoma that had a frame rot recall and mine was spotless. Fast forward, bought an american made vehicle that cost me 15 grand and got 6 and a half years out of and no one holding Ford responsible! sickening!.

The consumer stated that while she was driving the rear end of the vehicle burst into flames. There was no prior warning that something was wrong. A gentleman followed her and told her that there were flames shooting out of the back of her vehicle. The consumer indicated that the vehicle drove perfectly, with no sign of trouble. The fire dept was called and the fire was put out. The consumer was taking her husband, who is confined to a wheelchair, on an errand. She believes if it were not for the kind gentleman who helped her, that her husband could have burned to death.

I was lucky it was parked. This could be very dangerous on the freeway. Ihave heard that this has happend to other people. I feel that this truck has very unsafe springs and torsion bars that could break at any time. Which could cause loss of control.
