This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Underframe is rotten and rusted out. Was hanging on by a two inch piece of metal. Vehicle is 1999 with only 94,200 original miles. Should not have rusted out. Ford will not accept any fault or repair.
I brought in my 1999 Ford F150 to get an inspection and get a recall performed on the straps that hold the gas tank on. The garage had the vehicle for 6 days before they informed me that they in fact could not perform the safety upgrade because the frame of the truck has too much rust. I believe that Ford Motor Company is responsable for not providing adequette protection fro the elements on the frames of this make/model of vehicle. I called the Ford Motor Company and was told that they were only responsable for the gas tank straps and not the frame so they were not requiring their dealership to do the upgrades. When my best friends 1999 Toyota Tacoma had the same eact problem on his truck the Toyota company paid to put a new frame on his truck due to a recall of the frame. The rest of my Ford truck is in great condition and has around 120,000 miles on it. I have had no other issues with the truck except for the frame. Because of this issue the only real choice I have at this point is to scrap the truck and buy another vehicle.
