ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
TRUCK WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SCHEDULED SERVICE AND I WAS INFORMED A HEAD GASKET WAS LEAKING. THIS IS A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I DON'T BELIEVE THE ENGINE HAS EVER GONE OVER 3000 RPM, COST TO REPAIR $2,200. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SUBMITTED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET FORD TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM?*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
DRIVERS DOOR HAS A CRACK IN THE SHEET METAL ABOUT THREE OR FOUR INCHCES ABOVE THE BELT MOULDING AT THE REAR CORNER OF THE GLASS. THE DEALER SO FAR HAS REF SED TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND AT FIRST COMPLETELY DENIED THAT THERE WAS EVEN A PROBLEM. CLEARLY THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT AS THERE IS A TECNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN DATING 11/98. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS A 1999 F-150 WITH BOTH DOORS CRACKED IN EXACTLY THE SAME PLACE. OBVIOUSLY MY DRIVERS DOOR IS THE ONLY ONE CRACKED ON MY TRUCK BECAUSE IT GETS THE MAJORITY OF USE. I FIND IT DESPICABLE THAT FORD WOULD CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE THE SAME DEFECTIVE PRODUCT SINCE 1997 AND REFUSE TO FIX IT AS WELL AS DENIE KNOWLEDGE OF ANY PROBLEM. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NUMEROUS AUOTBODY PROFESSIONALS WHO ALL HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM. WHATS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?*AK
