2000 FORD F-150 Complaints

HIT BUMPS IN ROAD AND THE LIGHTS GO OFF AND THE TRUCK ENGINES QUITS AND THE GAUGES GO CRAZY. *JB

UNDER HOOD FIRE AFTER HAVING BEEN PARKE WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION FOR 1.5 HOURS. THE FIRE WAS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND BURNED A HOLE IN THE HOOD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NEAR THE FIRE WALL

THE SPARE TIRE HOUSING CABLE BROKE LOOSE AND THE SPARE TIRE FELL OFF. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A DIRT ROAD AT A VERY LOW SPEED. AS A RESULT, THE REAR OF THE TRUCK LIFTED OFF THE ROAD. THE CAUSE OF THE CABLE BREAKING IS YET TO BE DETERMINED. THE CABLE HAD A CLEAN BREAK AND HAD NO RUST. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NLM

DRIVING TO WORK DOING 60 MPH SLOWING DOWN TO GET ON A OFF RAMP AND I HEARD A BIG BANG. I LOOK UNDER THE HOOD AND MY, PASSENGER SIDE SECOND FROM THE FRONT, PLUG, COIL, AND BOOT WERE EJECTED FROM THERE HOLE. *LA

MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR ON MY 2000 F150 IS CRACKING JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THE WINDOW. *LA

WHILE CRUISING AT 65 MPH A SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE CYLINDER INTO THE FUEL RAIL. LUCKILY NO FIRE WAS STARTED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 5.4L ENGINE. AS EVEN FORD HAS CHANGED THE DESIGN OF NEWER 5.4L ENGINES, BUT HAS DONE NOTHING FOR EARLIER OWNERS. THE VEHICLE HAS 40,000 MILES AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IN 11/02. HOWEVER, FORD NOW SAYS THE WARRANTY WAS PUT ON BY MISTAKE AND WAS CANCELLED 1/03 - NOT NOTIFYING ME, THE OWNER OF THE TRUCK, ABOUT IT'S CANCELLATION. I HAVE OWNED FORDS FOR THE LAST 18 YEARS, BUT THIS WILL BE MY LAST. *LA

PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES ON 2000 FORD F-150.*MR ON ONE EARLY DAMP MORNING, THE VEHICLE HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS, CONSUMER WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT. *PH

ONLY AFTER 30,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. NOTHING SEEMED TO BE WRONG. THE LONGER THE LIGHT WAS ON THE MORE THE TRUCK STARTED TO SPUTTER AND CUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE. AFTER BEING HOOKED UP TO A COMPUTER WE FOUND THE OXYGEN SENSOR HAS GONE BAD. *LA

CONSUMER HAD BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH VEHICLE POPPING OUT OF GEAR. THIS TIME VEHICLE POPPED OUT OF GEAR WHEN IT WAS IN PARK, PINNING CONSUMER AGAINST THE FENCE AND CUTTING HIS LEFT PINKIE FINGER OFF. HE STATED THAT NO ONE KNEW WHY IT KEPT POPPING OUT OF GEAR.*AK CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO FULLY WORK UNTIL NOV. 2003 DUE TO A PIN HOLDING HIS FINGER IN PLACE. *PH *NLM
