1997: “I was driving a bumpy roadway and the rear crossmember of my 1997 f150 lariat cracked and fell and was dragging on the street. A 1/4 of the crossmember is still attached the shock and separated from the rest of the member and the frame. I had to pull off the road and strap it to the frame. Thank god my spare tire is not attached or it would have caused an accident had it fallen with what is left of the cross member. The remaining three corners of the crossmember have almost separated from the frame and are severely rotted. …”
