I HAVE A 1999 F150 FORD TRUCK. LARGE OIL LEAK FROM THE RIGHT HAND HEAD GASKET AT THE REAR OF THE BLOCK ON MY ENGINE. ALSO A LEAK ON OUTSIDE RIGHT HAND FILLING INTAKE VALLEY. ESTIMATED COST FROM FORD DEALERSHIP $1600 DEPENDING ON WHAT IT TAKES TO REPAIR IT. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR REPAIR AND POSSIBLY THE PART WAS POORLY MACHINED. *JB

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER, VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON BY THEMSELVES. NO APPARENT REASON WHY. THERE ARE NO SHORTS OR LOOSE WIRES NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN. BACK WINDOW ON TRUCK IS LEAKING WENT TO HAVE FIXED. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED A MULTIPLE OF THESE WINDOWS DO TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING BUT ARE STILL MAKING ME PAY FOR IT. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT IF THEY KNOW IT IS A FAULT IN THE WINDOW WHY NOT RECALL IT INSTEAD OF MAKING MONEY OFF OF IT. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
VEHICLE IS A 1999 FORD F-150 AND IT HAS APPROX. 54,000 MILES ON IT. THE EVENING OF MARCH 3 THE TRUCK BEGAN TO RUN WEIRD AND IT BEGAN TO NOT RUN CORRECTLY.THE MORNING AFTER I BROUGHT IT TO A REAIR GARAGE AND THE COMPUTER SHOWED THAT THERE WAS A DETINATION IN THE MOTOR. THE IGNITION COIL WAS BAD THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT HE NEEDED TO REPLACE ALL EIGHT COILS. THIS COST ME 905 DOLLARS. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE OCCURED BECAUSE IT HAS LOWER MLES. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS AN OCCURING PROBLEM WITH THE 5.4 TRITON V8. I'M NOT HAPPY WITH THE MONEY THAT I HAD TO PUT INTO MY TRUCK, I BOUGHT A NEWER VEHICLE TO WAIVE SOME COST OF VEHICLE REPAIRS BUT THIS WAS A REDICULOUS AMOUNT FOR A REPAIR.
