2000 FORD F-150 Complaints

WAS TRAVELING WHEN I NOTICE THAT THE TRUCK LOCKS WERE NOT WORKING. I HAVE THIS AUTOMOBILE DUE TO THE FACT THAT ONCE YOU START AND TAKE OFF THE LOCK ON THERE OWN. I HAVE A FEW FRIENDS WITH THE SAME TRUCK AND WE ALL ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS NOTHING WRONG, BUT I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY NOT WORKING TO UNLOCK OR LOCK THE DOORS. IT'S LIKE THE MOTORS ON BOTH DOORS IS BAD AT THE SAME TIME.*AK

THE DRIVER HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE DRIVER HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB *MR

2000 FORD F-150 TRANSMISSION GONE AT ONLY 35,500 MILES. POWER FORD DIAGNOSED AND RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AT $3,300.00. I HAD BOTH MAJOR SERVICES PERFORMED 15,000 SERVICE & 30,000 MILES SERVICE AND HAVE CHANGED MY OIL EVERY 3,000-3,500 MILES. I USE THIS CAR MAINLY FOR PLEASURE ON THE WEEKENDS, THUS THE LOW MILEAGE. I ASKED POWER FORD HOW I CAUSED THIS THEY SAID I DID'T, THAT THERE IS METAL/BRASS IN THE PAN AND IT IS INTERNAL DAMAGE. BUT I DIDN'T USE THEM FOR REGULAR SERVICES SO THERE WILL BE NO ASSISTANCE GIVEN. HOW SAD!! I WORK AT HONDA AND HAVE THE ONLY FORD IN THE PARKING LOT, WHEN I DO DRIVE IT TO WORK.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH AN 18 WHEELER. UPON IMPACT, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NO INJURIES REPORTED. *AK

I BOUGHT A USED 2000 F-150 4X4 TRUCK IN OCTOBER 2003. THE VEHICLE HAD 36,000+ MILES. IT CURRENTLY HAS 43,000 MILES. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPORTED THE HEAD GASKET HAS A SEVERE LEAK. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THAT THEY HAD NO RECORD OF THE GASKET LEAKING. THIS WAS NOT A FORD DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND TRADED THE VEHICLE. I REALIZE THIS IS A USED VEHICLE AND PROBLEMS DO ARISE, BUT THIS IS A PROBLEM FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE OF. SEE MFG. BULLETIN NUMBERS 012110, 0214, 15793. THIS IS MY THIRD FORD TRUCK WITH NO PROBLEMS WITH THE PREVIOUS VEHICLES. THE QUESTION IS, SINCE FORD WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, SHOULDN'T THEY BE RESPONSIBLE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED WHEN THERE IS SO FEW MILES ON THE TRUCK? PLEASE RESPOND IN A TIMELY MANNER. THANK YOU.*AK

I HAVE A FIRESTONE RECALLED TIRE THAT THEY WON'T CORRECT. I GAVE THE BLOWN OUT RECALLED TIRE TO BALL TIRE ON 10/30/03 AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO HONOR THE RECALL.

THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE DID NOT HOLD AIR BECAUSE THE WHEELWAS CRACKED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP WERE NOTIFIED. *NM THE FACTORY WHEEL HAD A CRACK APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES ALONG THE INSIDE OF THE MOUNTING SURFACE NEAR THE RIM. *JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS, RADIO, DOOR LOCKS AND AIR CONDITIONING STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY AFTER A HEAVY RAIN. EVEN AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND REMOVING THE KEY, THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED. WE HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS TRUCK FROM GOODSON ACURA OF IRVING, TX AND HAD IT TOWED TO PAYTON WRIGHT FORD IN GRAPEVINE, TEXAS DUE TO WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED US THAT GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE HAD BEEN DAMAGED DUE TO WINDSHIELD LEAK. A CARFAX REPORT INDICATED THAT TRUCK HAD NOT BEEN REPORTED TO HAVE ANY ACCIDENTS. THE MANUFACTURED WINDSHIELD WAS NOT COVERED IN OUR WARRANTY AND IT SEEMS WE HAVE NO RECOURSE BUT TO PAY OVER $1200.00 TO FORD TO FIX THIS SINCE THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A MARKET FOR GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AT THIS TIME, SO WE ARE LEFT WITH A DANGEROUS VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE INJURED US OR OTHERS HAD WE NOT BEEN NEAR OUR HOME AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS GENERIC ELECTRONIC MODULE, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RECALLS ON OTHER FORD VEHICLES MADE IN 1996-2001. MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD SAME COMPLAINT OF WINDSHIELD DEFECT LEADING TO CORROSION OF FUSE SYSTEM AND MODULES. I WOULD LIKE TO REGISTER THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE FORD OFFERS NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM WHEN I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS DEFECT. *ANOTHER THING WE NOTICED WAS THAT THE CARFAX REPORT INDICATED THAT VEHICLE HAD 31,000 MILES ON IT IN JULY OF 2003; HOWEVER, WHEN WE PURCHASED VEHICLE THE MILEAGE WAS DIFFERENT LISTED AT 30,933. THE CARFAX REPORT WAS GIVEN TO US BY DEALERSHIP AND I AM LOOKING INTO THIS DISCREPANCY CURRENTLY. *JB

THE TRUCK HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT AND I WAS JUST TOLD THAT IT HAS A BLOWN ENGINE GASKET - THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE FOR A NEW TRUCK. *AK

WE HAVE TWO 2000 F150 PICKUPS AND AT 37000 MILES THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, I'VE HAD ONE PICKUP REPAIRED AND THE BRAKES ARE NOT THE SAME I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL SINCE IT WAS ON TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLES. *JB
