ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
STARTING ON 01-09-98 AND CONTINUING ONLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS, MY VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO START. IN ALL INSTANCES THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED OVERNIGHT IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE. IN ALL INCIDENTS THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, GORDIE BOUCHER INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY. ON 01-14-98 THE VEHICLE AGAIN FAILED TO START AS THE RESULT OF A DEAD BATTERY. ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED, TO A POINT WHERE THE POWER DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT FUNCTION. I HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS IN 1998. ON 01-17-99 AND 01-18-99 THE VEHICLE AGAIN HAD A DEAD BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED AGAIN BY GORDIE BOUCHER HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE (AGAIN) TO FIND A PROBLEM. ON 02-16-99 AND 02-21-99 AND 03-25-99 THE VEHICLE AGAIN HAD A DEAD BATTERY. ON ALL THE ABOVE LISTED DATES, ALL POWER POINTS (LIGHTS (INTERIOR/EXTERIOR), RADIO, WIPERS, FANS, ETC WERE TURNED OFF. THERE IS NO OBVIOUS REASON FOR WHY THE BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED, EXCEPT THAT SOMETHING IN THE SYSTEM MUST BE FAILING TO SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. MY WARRANTY ON MY TRUCK IS UP IN 05-99 AND I NEED SOMETHING DONE TO MY TRUCK. I CONTACTED NHTSA 03-03-99 AND FILLED OUT THE QUESTIONAIRE, BUT NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY. PLEASE HELP. *AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS A 3/4 INCH CRACK DEVELOPING FROM ABOUT 1" FROM THE ROUNDING FROM THE BOTTOM REAR CORNER OF THE OUTSIDE WINDOW MOLDING (METAL PART OF THE DOOR) AND HAVE NOTICE AVERY FORD 150 I'VE LOOK AT HAS THIS DOOR CRACK. AND OVER HAFE OF HAVE THEM HAVE THEM ON BOTH DRIVER & PASSENGER DOORS. THERE SEEM TO BE A DISIGN FLAW THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY DOESN'T WANT TO SAY YES TO. AND FIX THE FLAW AND NOT JUST PUT A BAND-AID FIX ON IT. YOU SPEND ANY WHERE'S FROM 22,000 TO 29,000 NOT INCLUDING TAX AND ALL THEY ARE GOING TO DO IS DRILL WELD AND BONDO. THAT'S A POOR ENGNEERING DESIGN. I COULD UNDER STAND IF THE TRUCK ONLY COSTED $1000 NOT ONLY IS THERE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR STARTERS. LETS GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL?*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH
ALL OF INTERMITTENT WINDSHIELD WIPER SETTINGS DO NOT WORK ALL OF THE TIME. ADDITIONALLY, SOMETIMES I MUST "JIGGLE" THE TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLY TO ACCTIVATE THE HEADLIGHTS. MORE THAN ONCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE I REALIZE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. I HAVE HAD THIS PART REPLACED BEFORE FOR HE SAME PROBLEMS. MY WIFE OWNS A '98 FORD EXPLORER, SAME PROBLEM. A FRIEND OWNS A '98 FORD TAURUS, SAME PROBLEM. IS THIS A SAFETY RELATED ITEM THAT THE MANUFACTURER MUST KEEP REPLACING FREE OF CHARGE? *AK

SCREWS WERE NOT REATTACHED TO COVERING OVER FAN BELT, OIL CHANGE AND NEW FILTER WERE NOT DONE ACCORDING TO RECALL. KNOCKING STARTED TO OCCUR IN ENGINE AFTER VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME. CALLED DEALERSHIP BACK TO REPORT THE 2 SCREWS MISSING ANDA KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM ENGINE. WAS TOLD TO STOP IN ON SAT. TO HAVE SOMEONE PUT IN THE MISSING SCREWS. RETURNED TO SHOP NOONE WAS AROUND TO DO THE WORK. WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK SAT. THE ENGINE OIL LIGHTS UP. HAD TO FIND A STORE TO BUY OIL AND ADD TO CRANKCASE. HAD TO DO THIS TWICE THAT NIGHT. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE DEALESHIP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THEY WILL PUT IN A REBUILT ENGINE. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS SOLUTION. I FEEL THAT THEY HAVE RUINED MY TRUCK AND I WON'T FEEL SAFE AND SECURE IN IT ANYMORE. PLEASE CONTACT ME SO I CAN EXPLAIN FURTHER.
