PURCHASED 1999 F150 LARIAT NEW WITH ELECTRONIC SIDE MIRRORS WITH BUILT IN TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS. THE MIRRORS HAVE FADED AND TURNED SPOTTY WITH DARK SPOTS. THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF AND THE DRIVERS SIDE IS ALMOST AS BAD. WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE OUT OF EITHER SIDE MIRROR. CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID IT WASN'T A DEFECT AND I NEEDED TO BRING IT INTO A FORD DEALER TO SEE IF IT WOULD BE COVERED.

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.*AK
