This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
A crack in metal outside driver's door where seal meets window. Dealer / manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was out of its warranty, and there were no recalls on that problem. Please provide any further details on this matter.
Driver's side door has a crack down middle, on outside. Crack is very visible from a distance and to the naked eye. Took vehicle to dealership, and was informed by mechanic that crack on door would not be repaired due to mileage on vehicle. Owner had reported problem when vehicle had 41,000 miles, but nothing done at that time.
Door skin is cracked at beltline on passenger door. Dealer response: "we'll look into it" this seems to be a fairly common problem wirh the 97 and up F150S.
Driver's side window, as consumer is facing door, there is a crack in door. Took vehicle to dealer, and they said it was a cracked weld. There was cracking on door and roof seams but necessay repair was done on warranty.
Driver's side door panel is splitting when consumer closes door. There are cracks inside and outside, exterior is showing big cracks. Ford was notified.
From 1997's to 2000's F-150 1 or 2 of their doors are cracking just above the door handles at bottom of glass on the exterior Ford Motor Co. Has service bulletins dated in 1998 on my truck telling of these cracks. 2 people in my family has this problem also with their 2000's, and just about everyone I tell has the same problem, a lot of them aren't aware of it, Ford wants to pay 80%, they should pay it all.
