DOORS HAVE A ELECTRICAL SHOCK. WHEN EXITING TRHROUGH DOORS FROM VEHICLE CONSUMER WILL GET AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.*AK THE ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAPPENS ONLY TO THE DRIVER NOT PASSENGERS. THE DRIVER THINKS A BUILD UP OF STATIC ELECTRICITY IS BEING TRANSFERRED BY STARTER, STEERING COLULMN, GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL. THE STARTER, THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM, CATALYTIC CONVERTOR AND EXHAUST SYSTEM HAD BEEN REPLACED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. *YH

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
OCTOBER 2000 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING. OCCURED ON SATURDAY, CHECKED OWNERS MANUAL, "OK TO DRIVE, HAVE DEALER CHECK". TOOK TRUCK TO TOWN EAST FORD MONDAY, FORD CHARGED APPROX. $279.00 AND HERTZ APPROX. 70 FOR RENTAL. FORD STATED "SOMEONE DISCONNECTED YOUR MAF SENSOR". THAT IS NOT TRUE! ALSO THEY DID NOT COVER UNDER WARRENTY BUMPER TO BUMPER OR EXTENDED OR RENTAL VEHICLE. I THINK SENSOR DISCONNECTED SELF IF THAT IS WHAT INDEED HAPPENED. APPROX 1 YR. AGO THE BLINKERS, AIR CONDITIONER WOULD NOT WORK AT RANDOM. DON'T KNOW IF BRAKE LIGHTS OR BLINKERS WERE VISIBLY WORKING FROM OUTSIDE TRUCK BECAUSE IT WOULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. RETURNED TO FORD. SAID CAN FIX IT IF CANT FIND IT, ARE YOU SURE YOU DIDN'T HIT A BUMP, BRING IT BACK IF/WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. RETURNED AGAIN BECAUSE PROBLEM CONTINUED. HAD TO GET UGLY WITH THE SERVICE PEOPLE. I TOLD FORD TO KEEP IT, DRIVE IT UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FOUND. THEY DID AND SAID THERE WAS A LOOSE CONNECTION UNDER DASH. WARRANTY COVERED. I KNOW THIS TRUCK IS UNPREDICTABLE NOW. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO REPORT THAT IN MARCH 2000 MY 33 YR OLD BROTHER WAS KILLED WHILE ON THE JOB FOR S&P UTILITIES, I BELIEVE NOW THAT THE TRUCK MAY HAVE STALLED ON THE RAILROAD TRACK HE WAS KILLED ON BECAUSE HE HAD OFTEN COMPLAINED ABOUT THE F150 1998 BOGGING DOWN AND STALLING. I ALSO THINK NOW S&P IS AWARE SINCE THEY HAD PEOPLE OBTAIN ALL OF THE MISSING PARTS FROM THE TRUCK AS SOON AS THEY COULD. HIS NAME IS JOHN CLOUD JR OF MESQUITE TEXAS. HE LEFT 3 KIDS AND WIFE.

TIRES
TIRE LITTERALLY EXPLODED UNEXPECTEDLY @ ~ 70MPH ON A VERY HOT DAY. BARELY HAD TIME TO STOP & PULL OVER BEFORE RUINING THE MAG WHEEL ALSO. THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT OF THE TIRE OTHER THAN STEEL CORDS WHICH SLAPPED/DAMAGED AROUND WHEEL WELL. REPLACED BOTH REAR TIRES TO HAVE EVEN TREAD WEAR. STILL HAVE SPARE(USED ONCE) THAT IS SAME AS TIRE THAT BLEW. ALTHOUGH THIS TIRE IS PRESENTLY NOT RECALLED, WANTED TO REPORT SUCH SO THAT I MIGHT BE ELIGIBLE IF IT IS RECALLED LATER. THIS EXPERIENCE SEEMED ALL TOO SIMILAR TO THAT OF REPORTS READ IN REGARDS TO TIRES THAT WERE RECALLED SHORTLY AFTER HAVING REPLACED TWO TIRES.
