“I've had a problem with the doors cracking on both side and Ford tryed to fix them , but one side has crcked again and the finsh "sucks". They put filler (bondo)in the doors and the passenger side has crcked again.I was not happy about the filler because there wasn't any filler when I bought the truck. Now the paint on the roof is cracking and peeling off the metal and starting to rush bad at the top of the windshield area. I took it in and the dealer told me or the factory rep. Said oh well we won't fix it. …”
