STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I WAS TOLD OF A DOOR CRACKING PROBLEM, I ASKED THE LOCAL SERVICE REP ABOUT IT, HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A CRACKING PROBLEM AND THAT FORD WAS FIXING THOSE VEHICLES WITHIN WARRANTY, BUT THEY HAVEN'T DECIDED ON A FIX FOR OUT OF WARRANTY VEHICLES. IF THE DOORS ARE WEAK ENOUGH TO CRACK FORM ROUTINE DRIVING, ARE THEY STRONG ENOUGH FOR OCCUPANT PROTECTION? ESPECIALLY IF BOTH DOORS ARE CRACKED AND FORM THE EVIDENCE OF RUSTING, AT LEAST FOR SOME TIME..

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
MY GAS PEDAL STUCK. I HAD JUST QUIT USING MY CRUISE CONTROL AS I APPROACHED A JUNCTION AT THE FREEWAY. THEN ROUNDED THE BEND, MY TRUCK JUST SPED UP. I TAPPED THE BRAKES TO MAKE SURE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DISINGAGED. THE TRUCK SURGED FORWARD AGAIN, ALTHOUGH THIS TIME IT REALLY TOOK OFF LIKE I HAD MASHED THE GAS PEDAL FULL FORCE. LUCKILY ENOUGH I WAS ON A FREEWAY AND NOT IN A NORMAL NEIGHBORHOOD. BY SHEER DETERMINATION, TWO GOOD LEGS, LOW TRAFFIC, AND GOD, I STOPPED THAT TRUCK. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY TRUCK. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT SHOULD BE FIXED.

FORD ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOUDL NOT SHOW UP AT THIS LOW A MILEAGE. THEY AMDE AN DEFECTIVE PRODUCT--THEY SHOUDL FIX IT!
