There is a crack (1/2" in length) that has developed on the outer sheetmetal of the drivers door on the lower left hand corner near the L shaped weatherstripping. This crack is growing weekly and structural integrity in an accident is my major concern as the crack can act as a "crumple" joint. Cosmetically it is also likely to begin to rust if not corrected as the paint is beginning to peel around the crack.

As stated, the door is cracking at the rear of the driver's side window approximately 1/4 of the way up from the bottom of the window. I have personally seen numerous F150 vehicles with the same type of crack. I believe this to be a safety issue because of the compromise of the structural integrity of the vehicle at normal speed as well as during a crash.
