STEERING, SUSPENSION
LEFT TIE ROD ON MY 1998 FORD F150 BROKE WHILE DRIVING. I BOUGHT TRUCK NEW IN 1999. MILEAGE ON TRUCK WAS 29900. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO DEALER, THEY INFORMED ME THAT RIGHT TIE ROD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TOO ALONG WITH THE LOWER BALL JOINTS AND IDLER ARM. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY JUST 20 MINUTES BEFORE. I WAS LUCKY. SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME HE HAS NEEDED TO REPLACE THEM AFTER 15000. FROM THE FACTORY THERE ARE NO GREASE FITTING FOR LUBRICATION. ALSO NONE ON REPLACEMENTS. PLEASE CALL OR E-MAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS, THANK YOU. *NLM

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
I LOST ALL STEERING CONTROL ON MY 1997 FORD F-150 EXTENDED CAB PICK UP TRUCK. THE STEERING ROD HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE STEERING GEAR. I QUESTIONED THE FORD DEALER WHO MADE THE REPAIRS AS TO HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BEFORE. SINCE THEN I WITNESSED ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE ENCOUNTER THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. DUE TO LARGE AMOUNT OF EXPLORERS, EXPEDITIONS AND F150'S ON THE ROAD TODAY, THIS WAS VERY CONCERNING TO ME. FORTUNATELY IN BOTH CASES WE WERE TRAVELING AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED AND WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP WITHOUT INCIDENT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND NEVER HAD WORK DONE ON THE STEERING PREVIOUS TO THIS PROBLEM. *NLM

TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND HAD JUST CROSSED A SPEED BUMP. MY SPARE TIRE FELL OFF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK. THE SPARE TIRE CABLE HAD BROKEN. AS OF THIS DATE I HAVE NOT YET NOTIFIED THE DEALER. AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I FULLY EXPECT FORD TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. I COULD HAVE BEEN TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSED A HUGE ACCIDENT WHEN THE CABLE BROKE AND DROPPED THE TIRE. *JB

INTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN DOORS ARE CLOSED THE DOME LIGHT, DOOR AJAR LIGHT, AND EXTERIOR LIGHT ABOVE TRUCK BED REMAIN ON. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECURRING FOR THE LAST 3-4 YEARS. I HAVE ASKED DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS CONCERNING THE PROBLEM AND GET MANY REPLIES FROM BAD DOOR SWITCH, BAD RELAY SWITCH TO IT'S A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH 1998 FORD F-150'S AND YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. THE LIGHTS CAN STAY ON FOR 1 MINUTE OR 30 MINUTES, OCCASIONALLY I HAVE TO REMOVE THE FUSE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST FREQUENTLY WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE GOES FROM COLD TO WARMER WEATHER. I HAVE DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH OTHER OWNERS AND THEY ALL SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE INTERIOR LIGHT REMAINING ON. I AM ALSO CONCERNED WITH WEAR ON THE BATTERY. I FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE REPAIR. *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I BOUGHT MY F150 EXTENDED CAB IN APRIL 2002 AND AT 8,000 MILES THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR WAS HARD TO OPEN. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPAIRED IT AND WITHIN A FEW DAYS IT WAS HARD TO OPEN AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FIXED IT AGAIN. AGAIN IT BECAME HARD TO OPEN I JUST TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND THEY TRIED TO FIX IT AGAIN WITH NO LUCK. I FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT SAFE IN CASE OF A WRECK THAT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN IT TO GET MY 9 YEAR OLD SON OUT IF I HAD TO IN A HURRY. *NLM
