SURE HOPE NO ACCIDENTS FOR THIS TO GET THINGS MOVING ON THIS. NOTHING LIKE GETTING THE CUSTOMER CONCERNED WITH NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT!!

IS THIS A CRITICAL RECALL OR JUST HO-HUM? FORD SAID REPAIR PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. MY DEALER CAN'T GET THEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. FORD IS NOT TALKING TO DEALERS ABOUT PARTS AVAILABILITY SO MY DEALER CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. SHOULD I BE DRIVING MY TRUCK OR NOT?

THE REAR SPRING SHACKLE, BRACKET RUSTING AND FALLING OFF. THE GAS TANK BRACKETS RUSTED AND CAUSIING TANK TOO FALL OFF THE REAR FRAME ROTTED MAKING TRUCK UNSAFE FOR DRIVING ON THE ROAD THE FRONT FRAME OF TRUCK IS OK NO PROBLEM.IT IS JUST THE REAR FRAME RUSTED THRU.THE TRUCK WAS MAKEING A THUMPING NOISE AND WHEN I STOPED I HAD NOTICED THAT THE SPRINGS HAD BROKE THRU BED OF TRUCK PROMPTING ME TOO INSPECT FURTHER WHY THIS HAPPENED AND THAT IS WHEN I FOUND ALL THE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE FRAME.AND THE TANK.
