INTERIOR LIGHTING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DOOR AJAR SWITCH DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE DOOR AJAR DASH LIGHT & INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. THIS CAUSES A VERY DANGERIOUS SITUATION, ESPECIALY AT NIGHT WHEN THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE ON AND WON'T GO OFF. I KNOW THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPRED PROBLEM AND I HAVE BEEN ADVICED THAT FORD HAS A TSB ON IT. EVERYONE THAT I HAVE TALKED TO WITH A 97', 98', OR 99' F-150 EXTENDED CAB HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS.*AK

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON MY TRUCK HAS CRACKED FOR THE SECOND TIME. I KNOW OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND FORD SAID THEY WONT REPLACE IT AND I DONT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE A DOOR FOR THE SEND TIME IN 3 YEARS WHEN I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE BODY SHOP MANAGER THE FIRST TIME I HAD THE DOOR REPLACED THAT IN ALL LIKELYHOOD THE DOOR THEY JUST PUT ON WILL BREAK AGAIN. I WANT HELP BECAUSE NOT ONLY DOES IT DECREASE THE VALUE OF MY TRUCK THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD BUT THE SAFTY OF IT BECAUSE I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT IF NOT FIXED THE WELD WILL COMPLETLY BREAK. IF YOU NEED OTHER INSTANCES OF THE SAME THING HAPPING TO OTHERS GO TO F150.COM THERE ARE POST THERE OF THE SAME COMPLAINT. AND THERE ARE MORE OUT THERE NO EVEN AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THERE WERE 4 PEOPLE I WORK WITH THAT HAD BROKEN DOORS THAT THEY DIDNT KNOW ABOUT TILL I SHOWED THEM. SO PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB
THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE EXTERIOR MIRRORS ARE LOSING THEIR REFLECTIVITY. THIS IS CLEARLY A FACTORY DEFECT AND PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP HAVE BOTH REFUSED TO RECALL THE MIRRORS OR TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO REPAIR THE MIRRORS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE MIRRORS, BUT FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THEM.
