I’m wondering why there is no recall on the frames my truck has 96k and the frame is almost gone 2007 f-150
Yesterday I discovered that the frame of my truck is completely rusted through in at least 2 places on the passenger side. I cannot confirm these are the only areas. The passenger side appears much worse than the driver side.
Frame, brake lines and all metal under carriage corroded to the point of being unsafe. Body only has minimal rust on rear corner pillars. Unsafe to operate.
I went to have my brakes replaced on my f-150 with 54,000 miles on the odometer and the mechanic told me the frame was completely rusted out and that he was able to put a screwdriver through it. He didn't want to install the brakes. I have owned this truck since new and it has (mostly) been garaged throughout. The body panels, interior , transmission, engine, etc. Are in excellent shape. It appears to be the same problem reported by many others, so I'm not sure why there hasn't been a ford recall on this dangerous situation. It's obviously been going on for some time, but I never looked under the truck to see the extent of the rust, given that the body was in great shape (no rust).
I have a 2007 f150 with 96,460 miles. Drives on pa roads never off road and no hauling. Driver side frame rail is rusted at a point immediately behind the forward mounting bracket of the rear leaf spring. The amount of rust is extensive. The inner wall of the rail is rusted through creating a hole approx. 10 inches long and ranging from the height of the rail tapering rearward to about 3/4 of an inch. The bottom of the frame rail is also rusted through at a point where it meets the spring's mounting bracket. Although the metal appears somewhat intact there is no structural integrity. This leaves only the upper portion and outside wall of the frame rail intact but also rusted. Based on my observation this truck cannot be driven safely. I am not aware of any solution other than to replace the frame but this will be determined by a professional in the near future. As to the cause I do not know. This damage was first noted today 8/14/2019 and was not detected during an inspection in 12/2018

This is regarding a 2007 ford f150 supercrew. During the vehicles yearly inspection it was discovered that the frame of the vehicle under the cab is completely rusted out and cracked extensively. It is cracked beyond repair and no longer safe to drive. This vehicle is only 12 years old and should not be experiencing extensive premature rust in this way. There are alot of these trucks on the road and it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.
