Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My f150 has a door crack on the drivers door. 80 to 90% of 1997 through 2000 f150/250 pickup will develop this problem on one of both of the front doors. As I didn't notice this until two weeks after my warr. Ran out, Ford will not do anything about this. I have found two internet sites with people with the same problems on thousands of trucks involved. There are several tsbs from Ford on this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10070346, filed 2004-01, 36,500 miles“I have a 2000 Ford 150 ext.cab truck a freind of mine brought to my attention that the doors are cracking. He has a 1998 ext cab f-150 that did the same thing. He got his fixed under warranty. I called Ford motor co. They told me they were not aware of a problem to take it to my local dealer who told me there is nothing they will do to repair this. They would not even come out and look at it. They did tell me there is a fix for this problem but they don?t have a recall for this. I went to several local dealers and checked 1997 to 2000 Ford trucks and found 8 out of 8 had this same problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10070391, filed 2004-01, 70,000 miles“A crack was noticed on the driver's side door at the rear of the window molding. Upon inquiry with a body repair shop, they told me Ford knows about the problem and I could go to the dealer to get it repaired. The crack is rusting and may hamper the integrity of the door, especially in a side impact collision.. Upon contacting Ford, they said they have no knowledge of the problem even though I have a copy of the bulletin they sent to all dealerships describing the problem.”
