| I strongly feel that the frame and cross members rust and rott issues of the 2001 ford f150's needs to be addressed. this is a major safety issue. i am really upset and with my 2001 f150 frame and other underbody parts. a frame that is 11 years old should not be so rusted out. i have done some research on the internet and have seen alot of issues of other owners with this complaint. i have had older trucks and cars and have never seen a frame in this kind of rust and rott condition at all. i would like to know what can be done with this issue before someones 2001 ford f150 literally breaks in half while driving down the interstate/highway or even in a school zone. i strongly feel that the last componet to fall apart on any vehicle or to be a safety issue is the frame. trucks are meant to pull campers and trailers which are heavy loads and the last thing you want to have happen is the frame on that vehicle to break away and kill the driver or other drivers on the road. i feel that it take someone to die before any action is taken on vehicle safety issues, thus im trying to prevent. i am willing to take my 2001 f150 to be inspected on this issue to a nhtsa site or a member can come to me. please help with this ford f150 issue and create a recall before its to late and someone is seriously injured or killed. please respond back to me as soon as possible. thanks | |||

| I had noticed a slight restriction in the accelerator peddle for an extended period. on the date above, i pressed down on the peddle. when i took my foot off the peddle it stayed down and the vehicle began accelerating rapidly. to gain control i turned slightly to the right and turned off the key to slow to a stop. i removed the plastic cover that encloses the throttle body. it was securely in place. when i took the cover off the throttle snapped closed. it now operates normally with the throttle body cover removed. all parts are in good condition and exhibit no wear. | |||

| Dear nhtsa, this is regards to the ford recall on fuel tank straps. we live in northeast nebraska & have a 2001 ford f-150 truck which has one fuel tank strap that has rusted through and the other is rusted. we contacted ford service station and they said our vehicle was not included in the ford recall. we contacted ford and they said it was not under warranty, but you might want to get it fixed! i asked how they determined who qualified for the recall and i did not get a response to my question. could you please explain why our truck was not included in the recall. it is obvious that it should have been included in the recall. we would appreciate you looking into this matter and include our truck in the recall. sincerely, j & r | |||

| The truck had been parked with ignition off for 4 hours in the parking lot behind my office. i was inside and heard the horn blow. about a minute later i smelled something burning and thought the building was on fire. i was in panic state running room to room trying to find where the smell was coming from. i then noticed smoke coming in the air vents of the building (my truck was parked less than 3 feet from the air conditioning central unit). i went out the back door and the truck was engulfed in flames. this all happened in 10 minutes or less. two employees parked next to mine had just left 15 minutes prior to me finding the truck in flames and had noticed nothing. there was a recall a cruise control switch and i had taken it to the dealership to have mine disconnected a few years back. i have no idea what started the fire but apparently it is quite common in ford f-series trucks around the 2001 year model to spontaneously catch fire even if they have been sitting for a while with the ignition off. | |||

| I have a 2001 f-150 triton 5.4 liter ford with 85,000 miles on it -- it blew out the number 3 cylinder spark plug stripping the threads and breaking the coil pack. i heard a ticking sound for a few weeks prior and had it checked at a shop and they thought it wasn't a bad problem -- 3 days later it blew out the plug. *tr | |||
