Heading back from picking up meal at pizza hut when "pop" sound from front of truck and then cabin filled with smoke. Within 20-30 seconds of exiting the car it was in flames (see attached photos) recall notification was never sent to current owner and current owner didnt own in 2009 when it was first recalled. Ford customer service informed that auto insurnace would be required to handle loss of vehicle, but current owner doesnt have comprehensive coverage so insurance company is unable to payout for loss due to fire. This recall should have been communicated to titled owner after purchase.
The whole underbody and frame is rusted and rotted. The leaf spring shackles have rusted and rotted away.
The rear bumper fell off while driving due to rusted frame rails that it was attached to.
The frame has experienced severe corrosion including the spare tire mount, cross members, rear bumper, leaf spring shackles, and perforations/rust through of the main frame rails.
