“The odometer in my 1999 Ford f150 pickup does not light up when the ignition is turned on until it has been driven for a while. It does eventually come on but has taken longer and longer as the vehicle has aged. This has been a problem for more than 2 years and seems to be getting worse.”
NHTSA complaint #10417164, filed 2011-08, 60,000 miles“Digital odometer light turns on & off. Door ajar light, dome light, and automatic door locks go on & off also. Electrical problems may be the gem module. Seat belts do not retract getting cut/damaged from door latch when door is closed, they have been replaced once already. Ford engineers were notified nearly six months ago but no reply.”
NHTSA complaint #10074470, filed 2004-05, 10,000 miles“My f150 p.u. Has a stress crack in the curve of the door by the window. The latch is not tight enough, so the door is hard to shut. My windshield wipers turn on by themselves, the odometer light goes on & off, the seat belts do not recoil & the door ajar light gets stuck, eventhough all doors are reshut. Engine sometimes runs rough eventhough has just had 60,000 mile check. The Ford dealership wants to charge me for new part to fix odometer light $300+plus labor, $58 for door part+labor. Haven't talked to them about rough running , I'm sure they'll want more $$ to fix it too.”
NHTSA complaint #10078455, filed 2004-06“Interior lights fail to go out after vehicle has been turned off. After starting vehicle, speedometer shot to 100rmps after shifting. Took to dealer & lights still on & not going off. Eventually, lights went out.”
