SUSPENSION, TIRES
FROM ACCELERATION OF 25-50 MPH, A SEVERE VIBRATION WOULD OCCUR IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. AT 70 MPH OR MORE REAR END WOULD VIBRATE SEVERELY ALONG WITH A ROARING AND GRINDING SOUND. VEHICLE BEEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES, DEALER WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE CAUSE OF PROBLEM. *AK THE VIBRATION IS EXTREME TO THE POINT THAT CONSUMER IS AFRAID TO RIDE IN THE VEHICLE. THE POPPING SOUND IN THE DRIVERS SEAT FEELS LIKE THE SEAT IS TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD OUT OF THE LOCKED POSITION. WHEN CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE HAD A NOISE UNDERNEATH. IT WAS TOLD TO CONSUMER THAT IT WAS BEING REPAIRED WITH A NEW MUFFLER THAT HAD BEEN ORDERED. AT THE TIME THE MUFFLER WAS BEING REPAIRED THE VIBRATION ALSO WAS WORKED ON. THE WORK DID NOT CORRECT THE VIBRATION PROBLEM. A SERVICE MAN TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE CONSUMER AND AGAIN THE VIBRATION PRESENTED ITSELF. FOUR NEW TIRES WERE INSTALLED BUT THIS DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *JG

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ON DRY PAVEMENT, THE TEMPERATURE WAS 70 DEGREES, AND THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND SUNNY AT 12:30 IN THE AFTERNOON, IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED ON MY 2001 F150 SUPERCREW. DURING NORMAL BRAKING PROCEDURES, WITH MORE THAN ADEQUATE SPACING BETWEEN CARS, NORMAL BRAKING PROCEDURES WERE EMPLOYED. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AT ALL FROM THE BRAKES. THIS LEFT MY WIFE, THE DRIVER, NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE THE ROAD SERVICE TO AVOID A REAR COLLISION WITH A SMALLER CAR, IN WHICH SHE HIT A ROAD SIDE FOOD STAND. THE FOOD STAND WAS DESTROYED AND THE TRUCK RECEIVED HEAVY DAMAGE.*AK

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
BOTH MIRRORS ARE PEALING, I'VE LOST 90 % OF MY VIEW. I HAVE THE MIRRORS WITH THE LIGHTED TURNS SIGNALS IN THEM. FORD HAS USED A FILM LIKE TINT ON THEM AND THEY ARE NOT HOLDING UP. THEY HAVE GONE TO A NEW STYLE MIRROR ON THE NEWER TRUCKS USING A REGULAR MIRROR WITH THE LIGHTED TURN SIGNALS ON THE OUT SIDE. I HAVE CONTACTED BRANDON FORD ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO RECALL AND THEY WON'T COVER IT WITH MY ESP PLAN.*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THERE IS A STRESS FRACTURE IN THE EXTERIOR OF BOTH DOORS NEXT TO THE GLASS ON THE LATCHING SIDE (NOT HINGE SIDE). THIS DEFECT IS COVERED UNDER THE 3 YEAR, 36,000 MILE WARRENTY ALTHOUGH IT'S THE USE OF THE DOOR NOT HOW FAR YOU DRIVE THAT WILL ALLOW THE DEFECT TO OCCUR. IF LEFT UNREPAIRED, IT COULD CAUSE CUTS ON THE HAND, AND I QUESTION THE INTEGRITY OF THE DOOR AROUND THE GLASS.
