A PILLAR POST ASSIST HANDLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE LOOSE WHEN I WAS ENTERING THE VEHICLE,I FAILED BACK OUT THE VEHICLE HIT MY HEAD ON THE DRIVERS DOOR, THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE MY DRIVEWAY,THE ASSIST HANDLE WAS INSTALLED WITH SCREWS INTO PLASTIC NOT GOOD,COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL IT VEHICLE WAS ON CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY,ETC

WHILE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND IN A PARKING LOT, I NOTICED WHAT A APPEARED TO BE A HOLE RUSTED THROUGH THE DRIVERS SIDE FRAME. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL LARGE HOLES BEGINNING IN FRONT OF THE REAR WHEEL AND EXTENDING TO ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF THE CAB. THESE HOLES ARE ALL THE WAY THROUGH, (BOTH SIDES OF THE RAIL), ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK. SEE ATTACHED PICTURES. I FEEL THIS SIGNIFICANTLY COMPROMISES THE INTEGRITY OF THE FRAME AND MAKES IT LESS SAFE TO OPERATE. I AM ALSO VERY SURPRISED TO SEE SO MUCH CORROSION ON AN 11 YEAR TRUCK. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE TRUCK 5 YEARS AGO, TO FORD MOTOR CO., AND TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. NONE OF THESE ATTEMPTS HAVE RESULTED IN ANY ACTION. I'M SURE MINE IS NOT THE ONLY F150 WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE WORD GETS OUT.
