2001 Ford F-350 with rusting rear quarter panels. Consumer states that he should not have to pay for this repair because he does not see how it is normal wear and tear. He believes this is a defect. The consumer stated he had some rust problems inside of the doors and at the bottom of the cab rocker panels, which he did believe was normal.
Rotors warp after one thousand miles, have to continuously replace them. More brakes were applied the less stopping power consumer had. Also, doors make a rattling sound. Took vehicle to dealer. Please provide any further information.
Truck was parked for 2 days since last driven in my driveway 5ft from house. Went to work at night in my other vehicle, came home and started to get my kids ready for school. No visible signs as I passed it on my way into my residents. About an hour later next thing I know a passing off duty fire fighter is banging on my front door, as I go to meet him I see my truck engulfed in flames. Truck is a total loss with fire protruding from hood and fenders reaching into the cab. Fire department finally put flames out after minor damage to other near bye vehicles. Looks as fire started under hood near master cylinder. Truck was repaired by Ford for recall in 06 due to cruise control switch. It appears the same problem persists in new switches or repair was not done properly. Just contacted Ford today about this issue as it just happened Feb,2 2016. In the process of obtaining vehicle service records as I have a friend who works for Ford. Clearly the fire originated from the same area as earlier recalls. 2001 Ford F-350 vehicle speed control NHTSA campaign #06v286000. I have pictures and video of the incident but cannot upload due to file format.
