1999 FORD F-150 Complaints

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HAS A SMALL STRESS CRACK IN THE SHEET METAL BY THE LOWER REAR WEATHER STRIPING ON THE WINDOW, CALLED MY DEALER AND FORD THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. *JB

WHILE SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE A BOLT FELL OUT OF THE INTERNAL AREA OF THE STEERING COLUMN. I PUT THE TRUCK BACK IN WHAT APPEARED TO BE PARK AND GOT OUT TO RETRIEVE THE BOLT FROM THE FLOOR OF THE TRUCK, WHEN THE TRUCK MOVED BACKWARDS AND CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE DOOR AND REAR QUARTER PANEL. THE TRUCK WAS NOT REALLY IN PARK AS IT APPEARED ON THE THE GEAR SELECTOR, IT WAS IN REVERSE. THE TRUCK WOULD NO LONGER START IN WHAT APPEARED TO BE PARK. SOERENS FORD OF BROOKFIELD, WI. DETERMINED THE BOLT WAS A STEERAGE LINKAGE BOLT. THE BOLT SITS WITH THE HEAD FACING DOWNWARD AND HAD SIMPLY VIBRATED LOOSE OUT OF THE HOLE BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING LOCKING IT IN PLACE. FORD HAS DETERMINED THAT IT IS AN INSURANCE PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE BODY DAMAGE AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS CALLING A DESIGN DEFECT.*AK

DOORS ARE CRACKING APPROXIMATELY 4 1/2 INCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW WHERE THE DOOR HANDLES ARE LOCATED. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. MANUFACTURER IS AWARE THE PROBLEM, AND A REPAIR KIT IS AVAILABLE. THE COST OF THE KIT IS $600.00 PER DOOR.*AK *MR

HEAD LEAKS OIL ON RIGHT SIDE OF MOTOR HAD IT FIXED ONCE AND IS NOW LEAKING AGAIN. *JB

I NEVER ABUSED MY 99 FORD LIGHTNING IN ANY WAY AND @ 21000 MILES IT BLEW #3 SPARK PLUG OUT OF THE HEAD. FORD FINALLY AGREED THAT IF I WOULD PAY $817.00 FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE THEY WOULD PAY THE REST. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY ANYTHING SINCE THE HEAD WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE FACTORY. *JB

WHILE SHIFTING INTO DRIVE THE SHIFT LINKAGE BRACKET SCREW FAILED. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SHIFTED BACK TO PARK. *NM

ON MY 1999 FORD F-150 PICKUP (33,000 MILES), BOTH THE EXTERIOR MIRRORS HAVE LOST REFLECTION AND TURNED BLACK. HAVE CHECKED REPEATEDLY FOR RECALL SINCE PURCHASE, BUT NONE ISSUED BY FORD. I HAVE COMPENSATED BY PUTTING SMALL ADHESIVE WIDE-ANGLE MIRROR ON. HOWEVER, ANOTHER DRIVER TRIED TO USE MIRROR AND WAS UNABLE TO SEE A SMALL CHILD AT RIGHT REAR FENDER. *AK

EXHIBIT CRACKS IN THE DOOR SHEET METAL AT THE LOWER REAR OF THE BELT MOLDING. *AK

I HAVE A REAR SLIDING GLASS WINDOW WHICH LEAKS ON THE RIGHT SIDE (THE FIXED PART OF THE WINDOW) WHEN IT RAINS. MY BROTHER HAS A 98 F250 WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. IS FORD TAKING CARE OF THIS?*AK

THE SIGNAL MIRRORS ON MY TRUCK HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING DARK SPOTS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE REFLECTIVE SURFACES. *LA
