Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I noticed that my truck (1995 Ford f150) lowered quickly upon being loaded and that it felt unstable. The bed of my truck was fully loaded and while going around a corner I nearly lost control. After this incident I inspected the rear springs to notice the rear mounts that attach the leaf springs to the frame had totally rusted apart and where no longer attached to the frame. I have now purchased parts and plan to repair ($116.00)”
NHTSA complaint #10155751, filed 2006-04, 127,000 miles“Broken front left front coil spring due to rusting on 1995 Ford ff150 2wd. Found during pa state inspection. I bought the truck new so I know its never been in an accident or been used in any way that would have caused damage to the spring. Inspection garage reports sping is broken in two places. Truck is not used in commercial hauling or any hauling of heavy loads or pulling any heavy load. Primary use is for commuter transportation to / from work.”
NHTSA complaint #10043848, filed 2003-10, 99,870 miles“I had driven from buffalo on the thruway doing 65 MPH to barker ny and pulled into a parking place when the front radius arm bracket gave way and the radius arm ripped through the radius arm bracket causing the front tire and entire wheel and front end suspension to turn side ways jamming into the rear of the wheel wall. If this had given way on the thruway at 65 MPH I would be dead. This is nothing new to Ford trucks; Ford has known about this problem since as far back as 1988 that I know of. The same thing happened to my 1988 Ford bronco. …”
NHTSA complaint #10128962, filed 2005-07, 120,000 miles“The lift spring rear bracket(driver side) completly rusted away causing the bed to come down and it also comes very close to pinching the rear fuel fill tube(dual tanks). This truck only has 50,000 miles on it and has been maintained very well.I do very little hauling or pulling with this truck that would have caused this premature malfuction. I called the Ford dealer but they would not do anything to help me-so I took it to a local garage to replace. They said they replace these all the time and that the local Ford dealer even keeps the brackets in stock.I have pictures and the old part.”
NHTSA complaint #10129040, filed 2005-07, 50,000 miles“The lift spring mounts and front wheel mounts are prematurely rusting away to a unservicable condintion and could break off from truck fram because of disintegration. Large pieces of rusted metal are flaking of of press steel mounts.”
