26000 mi Alloy wheels corroded to the point that maintaining proper tire pressure was difficult. I got Ford to pay much of the cost of replacing 4 rims. 
47000 mi

Again the Ford alloy wheels were corroded to the point that tires could not seal to the rims. This time I replaced them with steel wheels from Tire Rack. In heavy roadsalt areas, the alloy wheels are trouble. 
52000 mi

US $180
Also the shop had me go under the truck to observe a rust-hole in the frame. Note that I bought the truck new in June 2013. I live in the heart of the area of heavy road salt but that is no excuse for my truck being so rusty. The bottom edge of the tailgate has rusted through from one side to the other. The back bumper has also rusted through. I have to wonder whether the truck would still give me good protection in a crash. 
1000 mi door panel squeaked and was tightened. 
11300 mi Nothing was done. Took an identical truck for a ride and it had the same wind noise. Also have rattle in door and it disappeared before I arrived at dealer.
