STRUCTURE:BODY
I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE SHEET METAL ON THE BODY OF MY TRUCK. THE CRACK IS LOCATED ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR JUST ABOVE THE ADDITIONAL RUBBER MOLDING IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE WINDOW. THIS MAKES ME WONDER HOW THE DOOR WOULD HOLD UP IF I GOT HIT IN THE DOOR.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE DOORS, A CRACK WAS NOTICED ABOVE THE DOOR HANDLES AND ON THE SIDE OF THE WINDOWS. THE CRACKS ARE 1/4 INCH LONG. A FRIEND HAD HEARD OF THIS AND I CHECKED MY TRUCK AND SURE ENOUGH, I HAVE CRACKS. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHERS EXPERIENCED THIS. LOW AND BEHOLD MANY MANY TRUCK OWNERS OF 97 AND 98 F-150S HAVE THIS. SHEET METAL STRESS IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING ON ANY VEHICLE. WHEN ON A DOOR IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE SHEET METAL CANNOT HANDLE BUMPS AND ROAD CONTOURS WITHOUT CRACKING HOW CAN IT BE OF MUCH USE IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT? THESE ARE STRUCTURAL AND DESIGN FLAWS THAT SHOULD BE FIXED ON VEHICLES THAT CANNOT STAY TOGETHER THROUGH NORMAL DRIVING SITUATIONS. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS AT NO COST AS A RECALL ITEM. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLS AT SLOW SPEEDS. I STARTED LOGGING DATES AND MILEAGE OF STALLS SINCE SEPTEMBER 1998. DEALER HAS TRIED SEVERAL TIMES UNSUCCESSFULLY TO DIAGNOSE AND CORRECT PROBLEM. INFORMED ME IN OCTOBER 8, 1998 LETTER THAT THEY WERE DISCONTINUING SERVICE ON MY TRUCK. LETTER STATES, "IF AND WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO EXHIBIT THIS CONCERN AT A FREQUENCY THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED ABNORMAL BY FORD STANDARDS, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO MEET WITH YOU TO DISCUSS OUR OPTIONS." WHAT IS "ABNORMAL BY FORD STANDARDS?" WHEN SOMEONE DIES AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM?*AK
