STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
BOTH OF THE DOOR FRAMES ON MY 98 F-150 HAVE CRACKED AND CONTINUE TO GET BIGGER. I BELIEVE THEY WILL CRACK COMPLETELY THROUGH THE ENTIRE DOOR. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT FORD WON'T PAY TO FIX IT UNTIL YOU MAKE THEM. PLEASE HELP THE THOUSANDS OF OWNERS THAT FORD HAS FRAUDULENTLY SOLD KNOWN DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. *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

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE, SUDDENLY THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR. I HAD THE WIPERS ON AT A SLOW SPEED AS IT WAS MISTING OUTSIDE. I PUT THE FIRE OUR WITH SNOW FROM THE ROADSIDE. AS WE CONTINUED HOME THE RADIO WENT DEAD, THE BATTERY WENT TO LOW AND THE LIGHTS STARTED FLICKING ON AND OFF. AS A RESULT OF THE FIRE THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED, AND CONTINUED ALL THE WAY ACROSS FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER. I LUCKILY FOUND AN OPEN FORD DEALER THAT GAVE US A SMALL RENTAL AND REPAIRED THE TRUCK. *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.
