ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
THE CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE FOR SERVICE BECAUSE OF A TICKING NOISE HEARD ON VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE TICKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND THE HEAD GASKET HAD BLOWN. WHICH RESULTED IN AN OIL LEAK INTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

MY 1999 F150 HAS A CRACK FORMING ON THE BOTTOM REAR CORNER OF THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW OF THE DRIVERS DOOR AT 32000 I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM AND THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF YEAR . THE DEALER SAID THEY WERE FIXING THIS PROBLEM ON NEWER VEHICLES THEN MINE BUT FORD COMPLAINT SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING AND WOULD NOT FIX IT ALSO. I HAVE SEEN THIS ON OTHER TRUCKS SO I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE. ON A DIFFERENT DATE I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE GASKET SINKING IT CHANNEL BETWEEN THE WINDOW FRAME AND BODY OF TRUCK THEY WOULD NOT FIX THIS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A FORD PART IT WAS MADE FOR FORD AND CAME ON THE TRUCK FROM THE FACTORY BUT DOSEN'T CARRY A WARRANTY. *JB

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WATER WAS GETTING DOWN INTO THE DASHBOARD AND CAUSING WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO STOP. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK NORMAL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL OR PARK. *AK THE WIPERS WOULD ONLY WORK ON LOW, THE RADIO WOULD CUT OFF WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN WHICH WOULD HAPPEN AFTER 10 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T TURN OVER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT HARNESS ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AT THE STARTER ASSEMBLY. THERE WAS A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE DASH, AND THE THEFT LIGHT FLASHED. THE MECHANIC FOUND A BAD GEM MODULE WHICH ALSO CAUSED THE BLOWER TO STAY ON AND DRAIN THE BATTERY. THE HEATER BOWER WOUND NOT SHUT OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHEN SHUTTING THE TRUNK OFF AND HAD TO BE MANUALLY SHUT OFF. *SC
