Gas tank strap is broke.
My truck had been fixed and inspected under a recall for the fuel tank straps. Immediately after filling my fuel tank for the first time after the repair gasoline start leaking out of the tank. Took the truck back to the dealership where i was informed that my fuel tank was corroded and needed replaced but that it wouldn't be covered as part of the recall. Why was i not even informed of the condition of my fuel tank when my truck had just been serviced and inspected? prior to the dealership replacing my fuel tank straps i had no problems with any part of my fuel system.
Vehicle was idling in park with the e'brake applied, while i walked to my mailbox...the vehicle rolled about ten feet flat, then rolled about 30' down a slight incline , with the rear of the vehicle hitting a tree, bringing it to a stop.the tailgate and bumper are damaged beyond repair.it is difficult to get the vehicle to hold in park position since this happened. It seems to not go in all the way.i do not see any recall for this vin .. But i do see some comments online regarding similar incidents.
Engine compartment caught of fire.our appraiser findings: one as ford had a recall on this veh for the brake pressure switch that is connected to the cruise control system. The switch is located on the brake master cylinder and can corrode the wiring, causing a short circuit and an engine fire. Ford - in their infinite wisdom - wired this switch "hot" - so it has constant power which explains why our insrd's veh was off / not running and still ignited? potential subrogation.

I just got this truck & was going to get it legal made it there & everything was fine, on the way home when i got to 40mph it starts jumping & doesn't stop until i get to 55mph. I went to slow down for roadwork & i have no breaks, i pulled off checked fluid all's good, get back in breaks work, i go to pull in my driveway & no breaks again. I will mention when i first put on the a/c i could smell antifreeze but that eventually went away

The spare tire hoist cable failed. The spare fell out from underneath the pickup bed. There was no rust on the cable. It appears that the failure was all at once. It did not rub or wear against something. The cable broke in one spot, just inside the pressed or crimped end. There was no way to inspect or notice an immanent failure. The vehicle was in our company yard travelling at 5 to 10 mph. This would have been potentially deadly to another motorist or pedestrian had it failed at high speed.
