STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THERE IS A CRACK (1/2" IN LENGTH) THAT HAS DEVELOPED ON THE OUTER SHEETMETAL OF THE DRIVERS DOOR ON THE LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER NEAR THE L SHAPED WEATHERSTRIPPING. THIS CRACK IS GROWING WEEKLY AND STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IN AN ACCIDENT IS MY MAJOR CONCERN AS THE CRACK CAN ACT AS A "CRUMPLE" JOINT. COSMETICALLY IT IS ALSO LIKELY TO BEGIN TO RUST IF NOT CORRECTED AS THE PAINT IS BEGINNING TO PEEL AROUND THE CRACK.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
AS STATED, THE DOOR IS CRACKING AT THE REAR OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW APPROXIMATELY 1/4 OF THE WAY UP FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW. I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN NUMEROUS F150 VEHICLES WITH THE SAME TYPE OF CRACK. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE COMPROMISE OF THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE AT NORMAL SPEED AS WELL AS DURING A CRASH.

SPARK KNOCK I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE IT HAD 2000 MILES ON IT. I AM WORRIED THE THING WILL LOCK UP OR CATCH FIRE OR BLOW UP. IT HAS 25,000 MILES ON IT AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED IT. THEY TELL ME IF I WAS IN CANADA THEY HAVE A BULLETIN ON THOSE MODELS FOR THE VERY SAME THING WHY NOT ON THE AMERICAN MODELS?
