2004 FORD F-150 Complaints

2004 FORD F150. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH REAR DIFFERENTIAL *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED IN 2006 THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. *JB

I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE, HAND SLIPPED OFF OF THE KEY, THE VEHICLE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER. TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE NUMEROUS TIMES. UNPLUGGED THE BATTERY, LEFT IT SIT FOR 10-15 MINS (THOUGHT IT WAS THE ANTI THEFT). LATER IN THE DAY A FRIEND LOOKED AT IT, TROUBLESHOT IT AS FUEL PUMP- USED OWNER MANUAL TO LOOK AT FUSES, EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. CONCLUDED HAD TO BE WITH THE FUEL PUMP OR SENSOR. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GARAGE, PULLED THE FUEL PUMP SENSOR OFF, THERE WAS A GIANT WHOLE IN THE OUTER LAYER AND PLASTIC WAS CRACKED. MOISTURE FRIED THE CIRCUIT BOARD. THE PART IS CURRENTLY AT VRTC. I AM GLAD MY VEHICLE WAS AT HOME AND NOT SOMEWHERE IN A PARKING LOT OR FAR FROM HOME. NO REAL SIGNS OF THIS HAPPENING PRIOR TO NOT STARTING.

I OWN A 2004 FORD LGT CONVTNL F-150 TRUCK AND I HAVE A CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ON MY VEHICLE SINCE OCTOBER OF 2010. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN EXPANDED RECALL ON OVER A MILLION VEHICLES THAT EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE WITH THE MANUFACTURER SO THAT THEY CORRECT THE DEFICIENCY IF IT IS DIAGNOSED WITH THIS DEFECT? THANKS *TR

DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED, WINDOW 'FELL' WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION. ELECTRIC WINDOW NOW IS INOPERABLE. FORD WILL NOT FIX UNDER WARR, OR RECALL. PART IF VERY EXPENSIVE AND NOT A RE-DESIGNED PART, STILL ORIGINAL EQUIP, FAULTY DESIGN. I CANNOT AND WILLNOT PUT THE SAME TYPE OF PART BACK IN, SO MY WINDOW HAS BEEN MADE TO STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. I BELIEVE IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD TO NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE A FUNCTIONING WINDOW. AND THERE ARE THREE OTHER WINDOW THAT COULD FAIL AT ANY MOMENT. *TR
