ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE, STEERING:COLUMN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
(1) TRUCK'S BED SPREADING APART AND IGNITION/WIRING SHORTAGE (2) THE BED OF MY TRUCK HAS SPREAD APART FOR NO REASON AT ALL. I CANNOT EVEN SHUT MY TAILGATE. MY TRUCK'S BATTERY CONTINUES TO RUN DOWN. WHEN I TURN ON MY TRUCK, THE STARTER DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. A LIGHT DISPLAYS, "DOOR OPENED!" THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE MUSIC GOES ON AND OFF. (3) I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER TO GET THE BED FIXED. THEY SET ME AN APPOINTMENT. I MADE ANOTHER TRIP OVER AN HOUR ONE WAY TO GET FIXED AND THEN THEY DIDN'T FIX. MY WARRANTY HAS JUST RECENTLY RAN OUT. I AM HAVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT IS THE MATTER. I HAVEN'T HAD NO LUCK WITH TALKING WITH A FORD MECHANIC. THE WIRES IN THE STEERING COLUMN LOOKS TOO TIGHT OR LOOSE. THERE IS A CONSTANT BUZZING SOUND. MY CLOCK AND MILEAGE READINGS ERASES. MY WINDOWS STOP WORKING. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I PLACE THE TRUCK IN DRIVE. MOST OF THE TIME EVERYTHING STARTS WORKING ONCE PLACED IN PARK. I ONLY HAVE CLOSE TO 70,000 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS.*AK

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TRUCK HAD A HEATING SYSTEM FAILURE. THE DOOR LOCATED IN THE HEATING UNIT (THAT OPENS AND CLOSES WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS ADJUSTED) BECAME STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION WHICH ALLOWED ONLY COLD AIR TO ENTER THE AIR VENT. THE CONSUMER HAD TO TURN OFF THE HEAT SYSTEM TO PREVENT HYPERTHERMIA. AS A RESULT THE DEFOGGER SYSTEM COULDN'T BE USED WHICH CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE DOOR AND OTHER COMPONENTS. *NM THE DEALER ALSO REPLACED THE TEMPERATURE POTENTIOMETER AND ACTUATOR. *NM *TC

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
SAW TV NOTE ON DAIMLER-CHRYSLER RECALL RE: BALL JOINTS. MY WIFE HAS A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH A GM F-150 (INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED BY A MECHANIC AS EXCESSIVE WEAR FOR 20,000 MILES AND IS ALREADY MAKING THE NOISE CHRYSLER SAYS IS A WARNING)--BUT DEALER SAYS IT'S WITHIN SPECS, AND GM SAYS IT WON'T GO AGAINST DEALER. NEW HUSBAND IS VERY WORRIED FOR HIS WIFE GIVEN THAT BALL JOINT IS ALREADY AT THE STAGE THAT IS QUOTED AS "CONSUMER WOULD HAVE WARNING BECAUSE OF NOISE"--YET NO REPAIR OFFERED OR EVEN THOUGHT NEEDING FURTHER REVIEW.*AK
