VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATE (TURN-ON) UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN DRIVING AND SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE CONTROL MODULE IS "DEFECTIVE" BUT WILL NOT WARRANTY THE REPAIR SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL. IT IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DISTRACTION COULD ARISE AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING. TS

MY 1999 FORD F-150 HAS A CRACK IN THE ON THE SHEET METAL DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. CRACK IS LOCATED LOWER RIGHT SIDE. SINCE I NOTICED MY DOOR CRACKED I'VE BEN ON THE LOOK OUT FOR OTHER CRACKED DOORS. TO DATE AND AT RANDOM I HAVE FOUND 11 OUT OF 14 F-150'S WITH ONE OR BOTH DOORS CRACKED.SO FAR I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TELL 4 OUT OF THE 11 THAT THEIR DOOR WAS CRACKED AND NOT A ONE HAD A CLUE THEIR DOOD WAS CRACKED UNTIL I TOLD THEM. ON THE INTERNET I HAVE SEEN 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL FORD HAD THIS PROBLEM IN 1997, 1998, 1999, AND 2000. WHAT DOES A PERSON HAVE TO DO TO HAVE SOME ONE REALIZE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.FORD HAS A BIG PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO WANT TO DO NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
THE TRUCK WAS STARTED, WHEN PUT IN DRIVE, THE TRUCK WENT INTO FULL ACCELERATION. BRAKES WERE APPLIED, BUT WERE NOT EFFECTIVE. TRUCK WAS STILL ACCELERATING. THEN TURNED OFF THE KEY, TO STOP ENGINE. THE ENGINE DID NOT STOP RUNNING FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS WAS A TERRIFING EXPERIENCE. IF IT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN TOWN, OR ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, YES SOMEBODY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

FINALLY HAD TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND COAST TO A STOP. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES BUT CRUISE WAS STILL SET. I FINALLY DISCONNECTED THE CRUISE CONTROL FROM THE THROTTLE BODY IN ORDER TO CONTINUE MY TRIP. DT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
NOTICED A SMELL OF BURNT MOTOR OIL AT RIGHT SIDE FRONT ON 11/9/2002. CHECK ALL FLUID LEVELS. THEY WERE OK WENT TO AUTO DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK MONDAY MORNING 11/11/2002. MECHANIC CHECK THE TRUCK OUT AND FOUND OUT THE HEAD GASKET LEAKING OIL. HE SAID HE HAS REPLACED SEVERAL OF THESE TYPE HEAD GASKETS(MOST OF THE TIME RIGHTSIDE) ON THE 5.4 ENGINES FROM 1999 TO PRESENT. THE TRUCK IS OUT OF MANUFACTORS WARRANTY BEING THAT IS OLDER THAT 3 YEARS. FORD COMPANY KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THE TRUCK FREE OF CHARGE. I AM GLAD THAT I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. BUT IT IS NOT FAIR FOR THE COMPANY THAT I PURCHASED THE WARRANTY TO PAY FOR THIS. I HAVE TO PAY THE FIRST $50.OO AND THAT IS NOT RIGHT ALSO. THE DEALER HAS STARTED REPAIRING THE TRUCK AS SOON AS THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM AND THE WARRANTY COMPANY SAID IT WAS OK TO THE REPAIRS. I HAVE NOT COMPLAINTS WITH THE DEALER DOING THE REPAIRS. THEY HAVE ALWAYS GIVEN ME VERY GOOD SERVICE. DT
