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 ?????

Two of the four 265-70-17 contitrac SUV tires with 26,000 miles that were installed as replacement tires on my 2002 ford supercrew have broken belts inside the tire in the past two months. These tires have a bulge that shifts the tread apx 2cm over and up 1cm. This makes it impossible to keep the truck on the road at 65 MPH. The ford dealer has been happy to sell me a new tire but has not given any credit, (pro-rate) for the fact the tire has been rendered useless in less than 40% of the life expectancy of the tire. I was not given a choice to report both the tires that failed only one, nor a choice to report 17 inch tire sizes, and the site only allows me to pick one spot on the truck fr the tire failure the other was drivers side rear.

While having my vehicle serviced today, I asked my mechanic to check a shaking in the front of my truck. I first noticed the shaking on july 3rd, 2005. When he called, he told me that I had two defective tires, and they were to the point that the wires were pushing through the rubber. The last time my vehicle was serviced, in may, there were no problems with my tires.
