F-150 8-cyl

My truck front cross member that supports radiator and the body to the frame is just about rusted gone. Dealer stated that truck is 11 years old and will not fix. I am sending this for record in the event I am killed due to any failure. Have read two cases on your website. One is a 2000 F-150 that a cross member support rusted out in 2003 with 48,000 miles. Another was a 2000 F-150 that had a tag attached to the frame stating defective material do not use! L/S performance. I expect a full investigation on this and want my vehicle inspected. The consumer was informed the brakes lines needed to be replaced as the vehicle was unsafe to drive. Updated 01/06/12
