What owners wrote

I was driving down the interstate on the way to work around 8 pm. When the car in front of my slammed on their brakes. I reacted in accordance and hit my brakes pretty hard. When I did my truck pulled to the left and took me into the median. When I tried to correct my vehicle the back end started sliding out as I tried to get back on the road. When my truck finally caught traction it shot me to the other side of the road where it did the same thing. Sliding the back end out.

Reported at 180,000 miles, August 2018 CrashInjury

I was loading stuff into the back seat of my 2006 f-150. The wind caught the front door and it slammed shut. The bottom of the door is extremely sharp and stuck into my leg. It required staples because it was to deep for stitches. Upon inspection, the door is not put together properly and the edges are not sealed.
