STRUCTURE:BODY
I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE SHEET METAL ON THE BODY OF MY TRUCK. THE CRACK IS LOCATED ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR JUST ABOVE THE ADDITIONAL RUBBER MOLDING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE WINDOW. THIS MAKES ME WONDER HOW THE DOOR WOULD HOLD UP IF I GOT HIT IN THE DOOR.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
DOORS HAVE A ELECTRICAL SHOCK. WHEN EXITING TRHROUGH DOORS FROM VEHICLE CONSUMER WILL GET AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.*AK THE ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAPPENS ONLY TO THE DRIVER NOT PASSENGERS. THE DRIVER THINKS A BUILD UP OF STATIC ELECTRICITY IS BEING TRANSFERRED BY STARTER, STEERING COLULMN, GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL. THE STARTER, THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM, CATALYTIC CONVERTOR AND EXHAUST SYSTEM HAD BEEN REPLACED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. *YH

WHEELS, TIRES
I PURCHASED A 1999 F150 ON 5/9/00. I RECENTLY BOUGHT NEW TIRES FOR MY TRUCK AND FOUND OUT THAT ONE OF THE WHEELS WAS BENT ON THE INSIDE. THE BEND IN THE WHEEL WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT THE WHEEL COULD NOT BE BALANCED PROPERLY AND WOULD WOBBLE. I THEN PROCEDED TO PUT ON MY SPARE TIRE AND NOTICED THAT THE SPARE TIRE WAS A DIFFERENT SIZE THAN WHAT WAS ON THE TRUCK WHEN I PURCHASED IT. THE SIZE ON THE TRUCK IS 255/ 70R 16. MANUFACTURER REQUIRED SIZE IS 235/70R/16. I BROUGHT THIS PROBLEM TO THE SELLING DEALER AND SET AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK. I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP BECAUSE I FEEL I HAVE BEEN TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND THEY WILL THINK I CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I DID NOT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK WAS SOLD TO ME IN THIS CONDITION. I JUST NOW FOUND OUT I HAD THIS PROBLEM JUST BECAUSE I WANTED NEW TIRES BEFORE WINTER HITS. ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE ME WILL BE VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM
THIS PROBLEM RELATES TO A BOLT THAT HOLDS THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY TO THE FRAME OF THE PICKUP. THE BOLT IS CONTINOUSLY MOVING IN THE HOLE AND IS WEARING A GROVE IN THE SIDE OF THE BOLT. FORD HAS DENIED COVERAGE FOR ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS WHICH I LATER DISCOVERED TO BE THE RESULT OF THIS BOLT THAT MOVES IN THE FRAME. THE DEALER SOLUTION HAS BEEN SO FAR TO RE ALIGN VEHICLE, BUT THIS HAS BEEN ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE BOLT WILL CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL UNDER STRESS AND ALLOW THE LOWER CONTROL ARM TO DETACH FROM THE FRAME.
