#718443February 7, 2000
STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO I WAS INFORMED THAT 1997 AND 1998 FORD F150 AND F250 WHERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DOOR CRACKS ABOUT 1.5 TO 2 INCHES UP FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW ON THE REAR PILLAR OF BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. THIS IS DUE TO THE VIBRATION OF THE UPPER DOOR IN THE SLIPSTREAM CREATED WHEN THE TRUCKS ARE BEING DRIVEN. THE POINT OF THE CRACKING IS WHERE THE TOP OF A CURVE STRENGHTENS THE DOOR AND STIFFENS THE DOOR SO THAT WHEN THE TOP OF THE DOOR IS VIBRATING THE STRESSES CONCENTRATE AT THIS POINT AND CAUSE THE DOOR PILLAR TO CRACK. I HAVE PERSONALLY FOUND THESE CRACKS ON OVER 70 1997 AND 1998 F-150'S AND SOME 1997 F-250'S. ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT IMMEDIATELY A HAZARD THIS WILL EVENTUALLY COMPROMISE THE STRENGHT OF THE DOOR PILLAR DUE TO CORROSION. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AS MY TRUCK AND THE TRUCK OF EVERYONE ELSE I'VE TALKED TO IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I BELIVE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT BECOMES A MAJOR HAZARD TO THE OCCUPANTS OR OTHER DRIVERS ON OUR NATIONS HIGHWAYS. *AK
