Premature frame rot. I took my truck to a welder after failing my state safety inspection because of frame rot. The welder said he has worked on hundreds of frames for 2004 f150's. He said he started working on them in 2006. "worst frame ever," he said. He couldn't believe they were never recalled based on how poorly they were designed.

The frame on my truck has split in half always been taken care of. Ive had it for 6 years and it been good. Until recently the bed has started to shake very violently. My dad and i have figured out that the frame on my truck has split in half! I did some research on this issue of frames failing. Most 11th gen owners like me have or had this kind of problem. Some frames have rotted out completely due to ford. This…

I was driving down the road when my left rear window went crashing down inside the door. After doing a lot of searching on the net i found this is happening a lot on a number of the ford f-150 trucks, a cheap plastic part fails and the window falls down. No warning the window just falls down in the door

I looked under the truck and saw flames near my spare tire. I stopped pumping gas and ran to get a fire extinguisher. After the fire was out i observed that my tail-pipe had broken away from my muffler. The heat from my exhaust had melted…

During an oil change it was noticed that the left hand front differential mounting bracket appeared to have a crack pursuant with tsb 06-11-12. However upon closer examination it was shown that the damage was more extensive then the "concern of the left hand front differential mounting bracket separating from the frame rail." mention in the tsb. Instead of the aforementioned mount breaking, a section of the frame…

I bought this vehicle used with 139000 miles on saturday 05/16/15. Now i was not expecting a new vehicle but not one with so many problems either. First of all it has a very rough idle, i found that there is a serious problem with this engine and removal of the spark plugs. The repair shop will not even give an estimate for changing the spark plugs as there are very well known problems with them breaking off in the…

To begin with i had to have all 4 windows repaired. The mechanism that raises and lowers the windows broke. Since this was bought as a used vehicle, there was no warranty. So i pd. $150. To $175.00 each. Was told ford knew of this problem but since it wasn't a "safety factor" no recall was issued. I feel like this is quite unfair to the consumer. We purchase a vehicle that has a good reputation and then are told…
