| Description of the problem | Brought my 2004 f150 xlt to have some service work done, the truck needed a muffler and a new front upper control arm, i was advised by the service manager that i should have my frame looked at before going any further, both right and left sides of the frame in the middle of the truck have severe rust and i believe the structure is doomed to fail, i had planned on driving this truck for several more years as it is my daily driver. I am now left with a truck that cannot be certified for resale and has lost its value and further it is no longer safe. By the way the truck only has 190 thousand kms on it. |
