STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE LEFT DRIVERS DOOR EXHIBITS A (STRESS?) CRACK APPROX. 1/4 IN. LONG LOCATED AT THE EXTERIOR RADIUS WHERE THE DOOR PANEL MEETS THE GLASS OF THE SIDE WINDOW AT AN AREA CLOSEST TO THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE. SUBJECT CRACK RUNS HORIZONTALLY FOR APPROX. 1/4 INCH. DEALER STATES THIS CRACK CAN CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE IF NOT REPAIRED. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAYS THEY WILL NOT PAY TO REPAIR UNLESS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I BELIEVE IF THE CRACK IS ALLOWED TO PROPAGATE AT SOME POINT THIS BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE AS DOOR STRUCTURE WILL LOSE ITS STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. APPARENTLY THIS PROBLEM HAS SURFACED OFTEN ENOUGH THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS DEVELOPED A REPAIR PROCEDURE/KIT TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY FORD AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. THANK YOU. FORD MOTOR CO. HAS DEVELOPED

WE PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN OCT 1999 NEW, WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR THE BRAKE PROBLEM. IT FIRST STARTED OUT WITH THE BRAKES LOCKING UP WHEN IT WAS DAMP OUT, THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM AT THAT TIME .THE NEXT TIME THEY SAID IT WAS THE AXEL SEAL LEAKING. ON JULY 11, 02 THEY SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE SHOES , WHICH WITH ONLY 35838 MILES ON THE TRUCK HOW COULD THAT BE .THE BRAKE SHOES WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME. NOW TODAY I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE BACK REAR BRAKE STARTED GROWLING, SO I STOPPED TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS , I REMOVED THE BACK TIRE AND REMOVED BACK HUB AND FOUND PIN TO WHEEL CYLINDER LAYING IN THE HUB. I CALLED A WRECKER TO COME AND GET ME AND MY TRUCK , WENT TO DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND STAYED THERE JUST ABOUT ALL DAY .THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HEARING MY COMPLAINT.*AK
