TIRES
OUR GOOD YEAR TIRES THAT WERE PUT ON THE TRUCK ARE SHOWING TREAD SEPERATION.THE GOOD YEAR MANUFACTURE TOLD US THEY WOULD HAVE US GO TO THE NEAREST GOOD YEAR DEALER AND THEY WOULD PRO RATE THE TIRES...WHY? IT IS THEIR DEFECT NOT OURS. THEY WOULD REPLACE WITH GOOD YEARS...WHY? WE DON'T WANT THEM. WHY SHOULD WE RISK GOING TO ANOTHER TOWN 20-25 MILES FROM HERE TO REPLACE THESE TIRES WITH POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE ONES AGAIN! FOR FOUR YEARS THEY HAVE BEEN COVERING UP LAWSUITS AND HAVING SILENT RECALLS...TO ME...THEY NEED TO REPLACE THEM WITH WHAT WE WANT AND WHERE WE WANT! IT IS OUR LIVES THAT OUR ON THE LINE! NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT THANK GOD. ALL FOUR TIRES SHOW SEPERATION AROUND THE RIMS. FOR ALL FOUR TIRES TO BE REPLACED IT WOULD COST CLOSE TO 800$. *AK (TIRESIZE: SIDEWALL E)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: SIDEWALL E )

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THERE IS A 1/4" DOOR CRACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCATED ON THE REAR PORTION OF THE DOOR WHERE THE BELT MOLDING ENDS. WHAT BROUGHT THIS TO MY ATTENTION WAS A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WRITING IN TO THE WWW.F150ONLINE.COM WEBSITE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I CHECKED OUT MY VEHICLE AND SURE ENOUGH I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. A CO-WORKER OF MINE HAS THE SAME YEAR FORD F150 AND HE CHECKED HIS VEHICLE AND THERE WAS ALSO ABOUT A 1/4" DOOR CRACK ON HIS DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I CONTACTED FORD BUT HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A RESPONSE. I CALLED NUMEROUS LOCAL DEALERS WHO WOULD NOT CONFIRM THEY FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE THOUGH ONE SHOP SAID IT WOULD FIX IT BY WELDING IT AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARANTEE. SEEMS ODD THAT 75% OF ALL 1997 TO 1999 FORD F150 OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. REQUEST INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE AND THAT FORD INITIATE A RECALL PROGRAM TO FIX THIS ISSUE.*AK
