What owners wrote
The consumer was involved in an accident, the vehicle rolled over and the entire roof collapsed. The consumer stated the vehicles body was weak.
I am experiencing a loud clanking and crashing sound emitting from under vehicle while driving on public highways with minimal bumps at various speeds with increased roll movement while cornering. After investigation, I found the body mounts to be crumbling apart, body mounts missing large chunks of material and other body mounts are soft and jelly like when touched. These ford body mounts have been engineered improperly and have reached a premature failed state.
