F-150 8-cyl

  • 30,000 miles
I had my 2000 Ford F150 at the dealer before the bumper to bumper ran out with 31000 miles on the truck there was recalls on it for the back window leaking and other things like the speed control I notice the frame and crossmembers rusting out at this time the paint was not doing its job all they had too do was to paint it but they refused to do it, now there is a recall on just the fuel tank straps what about the tank and the frame and crossmembers this truck is a hazard to be on the road this truck should have been fixed at the time when I noticed the problem. The truck has about 78000 original miles on it now and the body looks like it is in real good shape but the frame and crossmembers look like they have 250000 miles on it. Is there anything that can be done about this because Ford did not do what they should have done back when there was only 31000 miles on it. I only use the truck to go to the doctors and tow a boat 4 or 5 times a year the truck sits in the driveway most of the time. Toyota recalled a lot of trucks with this problem frames rusting out beyond repair they had to replace the owners with new trucks or refund the money they paid for them. The Toyota's was about the same year as my Ford there is a defect in the steel that they used for my truck please help!
