Description of the problem | 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! |
