1999 FORD F-150 Complaints

THERE IS A CRACK ON BOTH DOORS ON MY FORD F-150, BY THE WINDOW. THIS LOOKS LIKE A STRESS CRACK AND NOT WEAR AND TEAR. *LA

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH. UPON IMPACT, NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. DRIVER SUSTAINED THROAT AND HIP INJURIES WHEN HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL. ALSO, PASSENGER'S HEAD HIT THE DASHBOARD AND SUSTAINED A KNOT. *AK

HEAD GASKET BLOWN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *PH (NAR) DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND REPAIRS WERE MADE UNTIL THE HEAD GASKET WAS BLOWN AGAIN. *CB

RIGHT SIDE HEAD GASKET ON 5.4 V8 LEAKING AGAIN AT 72,000 MILES. HEADS REPLACED ONCE AND GASKETS REPLACED TWICE. OUT OF WARRANTY NOW. WE NEED A RECALL. OIL DRIPS ON HOT EXHAUST AND SMOKES, FIRE HAZARD. *AK

HEAD GASKET BLEW AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *PH AFTER SPENDING LUMP SUMS OF MONEY THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN DEFECT IN THE DECK SURFACE OF THE ENGINE BLOCK THAT ALLOWED OIL TO LEAK OUT OF THE ENGINE. THE CONDITION WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE HEAD GASKETS. DUE TO THE EXTENT OF DAMAGES TO THE ENGINE A NEW ONE HAD TO BE PURCHASED FOR OVER $5000.00. THE CONSUMER IS ASKING FORD TO HELP PAY FOR REPAIRS ON THE FAULTY AUTOMOBILE. *CB

MY 1999 F150 DOOR LOCKS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT 25,000 AND 45,000 MILES. NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER LOCK HAS FAILED AGAIN AT 79,000 MILES. THE LOCAL FORD DEALES STATES THIS IS NORMAL FOR A CAR MADE IN AMERICA.

I HAD A SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT OF THE HEAD ON MY TRUCK. IT IS A 1999 FORD F-150, WITH A 5.4 LITER TRITON V-8 ENGINE. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS, UNTIL THE MECHANIC AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD SEEN IT BEFORE. ALSO AT AN EARLIER DATE THE SHEET METAL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ABOUT THREE INCHES FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW CRACKED. ITS HAS CRACKED TWO MORE TIMES SINCE THEN. THEY (FORD MOTOR CO.) FINALLY PUT A NEW DOOR SKIN ON, BUT A MAN WHO I KNOW THAT RUNS A BODY SHOP SAID IT'S IN THE DOOR ITSELF AND THAT A SKIN WOULDN'T PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I'M JUST VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE ON THE MARKET ANYMORE THEY LACK QUALITY AND THEY DON'T LAST FOR NEAR AS LONG AS THEY SHOULD. *LA

SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF HEAD, STRIPPING THREADS FROM HEAD. THIS IS THE SECOND ONE FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST WAS IN JUNE OF 2002.*AK

MAJOR WATER LEAK AROUND REAR WINDOW. ALMOST EVERYONE YOU TALK TO WITH THIS TRUCK STYLE (OVER SEVERAL MODEL YEARS) HAS THIS PROBLEM. FORD HAS KNOWN FOR YEARS ABOUT IT. WHY ARE THEY NOT REQUIRED TO FIX IT?*AK
