The contact owns a 2002 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 5 mph, the cable that held the spare tire underneath the vehicle rusted and detached, causing the spare tire to drop from the vehicle. The contact stopped the vehicle and picked up the tire. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.......updated 11/21/17
The rear portion of the frame is rotten to the point that the let springs hangers are ready to break off the frame and the spare tire holder is also ready to fall off. I just replaced the rear spring shackles due to the were also rotten and broke. The gas tank straps were also a problem due to rust but Ford though enough of the problem there was a recall on that, Toyota had a problem with rusted frames and did a massive recall on that issue. Why hasn't Ford done the same thing" the frame should be the last thing one needs to worry about with any vehicle. The truck currently has 146000 miles and now we need to figure out what the next move will be with this vehicle. Repair it, junk it or trade it ????"
