2001 FORD F-150 Complaints

HIT BUMP, GAS TANK STRAPS BROKE AND DRAGGED TANK ON PAVEMENT, RUPTURED AND GAS SPILLED ON ROAD

MY COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO A FORD F150 SERIES TRUCK. THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND ALL PARTS UNDER THE TRUCK ARE RUSTING OUT. BRAKES/ROTORS JUST REPLACED AND DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE THUMPING NOISE WAS DUE TO THE BRAKE FALLING OFF OF THE TRUCK. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND WHEN CONTACTING FORD, THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. THIS IS ALSO ALONG WITH THE RUSTING OF THE DOORS AND DOOR FRAMES AND PEELING PAINT ISSUE THAT FORD HAS YET TO TAKE CARE OF CUSTOMERS FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE. WHEN CALLING FORD DIRECTLY, THEY STATE THEY ARE VERY SORRY, BUT YET THEY DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE FIRST BEFORE A RECALL IS DONE LIKE THE ISSUE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH THAT CAUSED FIRES AND AN EDERLY WOMAN AND CHILD WERE KILLED? *TT

I WANT TO KNOW WHY THE RECALL FOR THE GAS TANK STRAPS ON FORD F-150 PICKUPS 1997-2004 IS NOT IN NEBRASKA? BECAUSE NEBRASKA IS A COLD WEATHER STATE AND THEY USE CHEMICALS TO DE-ICE THE ROADS?
