UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE PAINT ON THIS VEHICLE FAILED AT 40,000 MILES.I CONTACTED DEALER WHO SAID THE WARRANTY ON THE PAINT HAD EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME, SHORT OF REPAINTING THE TRUCK AT MY EXPENSE. NOW I HAVE A TRUCK WITH NO DENTS IN IT, BUT PEELING PAINT. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A FAILURE OF THE OUTSIDE COAT TO BIND TO THE PRIMER BECAUSE EPA WOULD NO ALLOW LEAD TO BE USED AS A BONDING AGENT IN THE PRIMER. IF IT WAS NOT FOR THIS PAINT PROBLEM, THIS TRUCK WOULD LOOK SIMILAR TO A NEW TRUCK. I TALKED WITH THE DEALER ABOUT JUNE OF 1998.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DOORS (DRIVER & PASSENGER) HAVE STRESS CRACKS NEXT TO THE WINDOWS. WE HAVE SPOKE TO BISON FORD REGARDING THE MATTER. WE WERE INFORMED, BY BISON FORD, THAT SINCE WE ARE PASSED OUR WARRANT (3YEARS/36000) THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY AGREED TO PAY $500.00 AND BISON FORD AGREED TO PAY 10%, LEAVING THE REMAINDER TO THE CONSUMER. THE COST TO REPAIR JUST ONE DOOR IS $486.63. THUS LEAVING $375.93 THAT THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY, IF BOTH DOOR WERE CRACKED LIKE OUR'S. THIS PRICE IS JUST TO WELD THE CRACKS AND REPAINT. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURE'S DEFECT AND THAT THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED PROPERLY. I HAVE A REAL CONCERN FOR THE INTEGRITY OF THE DOOR IF WE WERE INVOLVED IN A SIDE COLLISION. I FEAR THAT THE DOOR/WINDOW WOULD NOT HOLD UP AND POSSIBLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. BOB HAS LOOKED AT 10 TO 15 (F150 1997 & 1998) AND HAS FOUND THAT ALL BUT ONE WAS HAD CRACK(S). WHILE WE WERE IN COLORADO RECENTLY WE WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THERE AND WERE SUPRISED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THESE STRESS CRACKS. THEY HAD 6 VEHICLES ON THEIR LOT AND ONLY ONE OF THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE CRACKS. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS MATTER. HELEN MORIN
