The half rear doors accessing the rear bench seat are defective. The doors have a defect in the locking/opening handle. The ford dealer locally wants to charge me in excess of $1119.00 to correct the problem. I have researched this matter via the internet & have found this is a pretty common complaint.

In driveway about an hour after work and heard an explosion. Went outside to see what was happening and the truck was on fire. Had bought the truck about 8 years ago. Come across recall on cruise control switch but never heard of it until after the fire. Had about $500 brake job a month before. Not sure what caused the fire.

While the truck was stationary, after having been driven about 20 minutes prior we could smell a burning plastic smell. A few short minutes later the engine was engulfed in flames. The fire started in the front drivers side and slowly make its way to the bed. The hood was completely disintegrated by the time the fire department had put it out. We believe this was due to the recall campaign 11s21. We did own the…

The radiator/core support was rusted out and could have resulted in a tragic accident if not replaced. The truck only has 73500 miles and has spent most of the time enclosed in the garage. The truck is in great shape. I believe the support either was defective or made of poor quality steel, in any event it should not have rusted out.

Soon after that repair work was done to leaf spring brackets which had rusted off the frame. In 2010,the truck was taken in for annual inspection, it could not pass because the frame was too rusted and likely to break at any time, this truck has always had all…

The spare tire housing cable broke loose and the spare tire fell off. This occurred while driving on a dirt road at a very low speed. As a result, the rear of the truck lifted off the road. The cause of the cable breaking is yet to be determined. The cable had a clean break and had no rust. Please provide any additional information. *nlm
