I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION FROM ANYONE ABOUT GETTING THIS REPAIRED

THIS WHOLE EPISODE HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN MY 1999 FORD F-150. I DID START TO NOTICE THAT WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN TO MATCH TRAFFIC SPEEDS, THE TRUCK WOULD VEER TO THE LEFT.THE BRAKES DID TAKE IN A FUNNY WAY AND THANK GOD THERE WAS NO COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. AFTER 30 MILES, I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY TO TURN AROUND AND WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN, I COULD NOT STOP AT ALL. THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK EVEN AFTER I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I ALSO SMELLED BURNING RUBBER COMING FROM NEAR THE ENGINE.THE PARKING BRAKE DID WORK AND I LIMPED INTO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. I CALLED AAA TO GET IT TOWED TO THE FIRESTONE TIRE SHOP NEAR MY HOUSE THAT HAS DONE ALL MY TIRE AND AUTO REPAIR NEEDS FOR OVER 15 YEARS. WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT AFTER THE 2 HOUR TOW, THE BRAKES STARTED WORKING AGAIN. ROBERT/FIRESTONE TOOK THE WHEELS OFF AND AFTER EXAMINING THE ROTORS/PADS ADVISED THAT THE FRONT RIGHT PADS HAD LOCKED AND WERE PRESSING UNEVENLY ON THE ROTOR. HE ALSO PLANNED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE FLUID HOSE THAT HE THOUGHT WAS WORN OUT AND POSSIBLY LEAKING. I ALSO WENT OVER TO THE FORD DEALER AND CHECKED WITH THEM TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY RECALLS OR ADVICE. NO RECALLS OR SERVICE NOTICE WAS UNCOVERED. ALL I WAS TOLD WAS TO CHECK THE MASTER CYLINDER AS IT COULD BE LEAKING INTERNALLY. THAT IS ALL I GOT FROM FORD. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I DID NOT HAVE A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE ON THE FREEWAY POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT/INJURY. WE DETERMINED THAT WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ABS MODULE.FORD DOES NOT MAKE IT ANY MORE AND WE HAD TO SEARCH THE SALVAGE YARDS TO GET THIS PART AS IT IS NIT MADE NAYMORE BY THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE.VERY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE.WILL NEVER BUY A FORD TRUCK AGAIN. .

SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE NEW FROM MY LOCAL FORD DEALER I'VE NOTICE THAT THERE IS VERY EXCESSIVE TRAVEL IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND AN AIR NOISE WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO CHECK IT OUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE BLED. WHEN THIS WOULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD MY FLUID WAS CONTAMINATED AND I WOULD NEED A FLUID FLUSH. THIS ALSO DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. A FEW YEARS AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD WAS UP I WAS TOLD THAT THIS HAPPENS TO FORD TRUCK A LOT AND I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE A PART THAT WAS OVER $800.00 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. I DECLINED THIS WORK STATING IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ON MY PREVIOUS VISITS THAT WERE ALL DOCUMENTED. SINCE THEN THEY ARE BACK TO THE SYSTEM BLEED AND FLUID FLUSH ROUTINE EVERY TIME I MENTION THE ISSUE. TODAY I READ THAT NEWER TRUCKS ARE HAVING BRAKE ISSUES AND I BELIEVE THIS IS NOT JUST A NEWER TRUCK ISSUE BUT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. THE BOLTS ARE COMING THROUGH THE BED OF THE TRUCK. BUMPER IS RUSTED AWAY FROM FRAME. UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

1999 FORD F150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE CATCHING FIRE WHILE PARKED. *LD CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO SENDING IN EXTRA INFORMATION REGARDING THEIR CASE. *AS *TR

AROUND 1:30AM ON THURSDAY NOV. 24TH, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MY NEIGHBOR SAYING MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THAT IT LOOKED LIKE IT STARTED UNDER THE HOOD. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN DRIVEN TO THE STORE THE MORNING BEFORE THE FIRE, AND WAS PARKED AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE.

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN OCTOBER 1998. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCE OVER A HOLIDAY WEEK. INITIALLY IT WAS ONLY THE WIPERS THAT WOULD TURN ON THEN OFF WITHOUT MANUALLY DOING SO. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR NEARLY 15YRS. MOST RECENTLY, THE WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF AND ACTUALLY NOW TURN ON AT A FASTER RATE ON THEIR OWN, WINDOW WASHER FLUID CONTROL IS VERY SENSITIVE AND WILL TURN ON WITH A LIGHT TOUCH TO THE TURN INDICATOR AND WON'T TURN OFF, THE DASH DISPLAY WILL TURN OFF, AND THE RADIO DISPLAY IS NOT WORKING (RADIO WORKS). WE HAVE FOUND THAT THE STEERING WHEEL HAS TO BE SET AT THE TOP POSITION IN ORDER FOR THE WIPERS TO NOT TURN ON AS MUCH (IT IS VERY FREQUENT NOW). WE HAD THE TRUCK LOOKED AT WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP BY THE FORD DEALER FOR THE WIPER ISSUE, AND NOTHING WAS FOUND TO RESOLVE. AFTER READING THROUGH OTHER FILED COMPLAINTS, I AM HOPING THAT THE TRUCK WILL NOT BURST INTO FLAMES DUE TO THE FAULTY ELECTRICAL GOING ON IN THE PANEL AND STEERING.

WENT TO STOP AT LIGHT HAD NO BRAKES WITH NO WARNING. I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME IN THE REAR THIS ALSO CAUSED A DELAYED RELEASE OF THE AIR BAGS. THIS APPEARS TO BE PROBLEM GOING BACK YEARS THAT FORD OR THE GOVERNMENT WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT.

REMOVED AND INSTALLED TRANSMISSION FILTER, TRANSMISSION FLUSH 08/30/2005. ON 02/08/2006 REMOVED TRANSMISSION, REBUILD TRANSMISSION, INSTALLED TRANSMISSION, FLUSHED TRANSMISSION COOLER.

UPON RETURNING HOME FROM WORK ON 9/15/14, A HITCH WIRE WAS NOTICED DRAGGING ON THE GROUND. WHEN I CRAWLED UNDER THE TRUCK TO TUCK IT BACK UNDER, I NOTICED THE SPARE TIRE WAS GONE AND THE CABLE THAT ONCE HELD IT IN PLACE VIA A RETAINING BRACKET HAD SNAPPED AND WAS FRAYED. THE TIRE AND BRACKET HOLDING THE TIRE WERE BOTH GONE. I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE LOSS UNTIL THAT POINT AND AM HORRIFIED AT THE THOUGHT OF THE ACCIDENT OR INJURY IT COULD HAVE/ MAY HAVE CAUSED, BREAKING FREE SOMEWHERE ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. *TR

CABLE THAT HOLDS SPARE TIRE UP UNDER THE TRUCK BED RUSTED AT THE BRACKET AND SPARE TIRE FELL OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK, IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT TRUCK WAS NOT GOING ANY FASTER AS THE SPARE COULD HAVE BOUNCED ON THE ROAD AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE OVERDIVE KNOB ON GEAR SHIFTER BROKE OFF WHILE DOWN-SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO 2ND GEAR. WHEN RESEARCHING THE INTERNET.... THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM!!!

APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO (10/2014) I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 1999 FORD F-150 WERE NOT WORKING. A FEW TIMES ONCE I RETURNED TO HOME I NOTICED THAT WHEN I SHIFTED THE TRUCK INTO PARK, THE HEADLIGHTS CAME ON. IT DID NOT APPEAR TO MATTER IF THE HIGH BEAM OR LOW BEAM LIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED. I STARTED TO INSPECT THE HEADLIGHT OPERATION AND NOTICED THAT WHEN I TILTED THE STEERING WHEEL TO IT'S LOWEST POSITION, TYPICALLY IT'S OPERATING POSITION, THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF. WHEN I TILTED THE WHEEL UP SLIGHTLY TO THE NEXT POSITION, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD COME ON. TODAY, 10/19/2014 I REMOVED THE TRIM AROUND THE STEERING COLUMN AND NOTICED THAT THERE ARE TWO WIRES THAT HAVE BROKEN AND SEPARATED FROM THE WIRING HARNESSES THAT ATTACH TO THE TURN SIGNAL ASSEMBLY AND SEVERAL CONTACTS THAT ARE LOOSE IN THE UPPER HARNESS. I HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS AND A VIDEO SHOWING THE PARTS THAT ARE LOOSE AND OR BROKEN. BECAUSE THESE BROKEN WIRES AND CONTACTS ARE LOOSE AND AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE HEADLIGHTS, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE RISK OF A SHORT OR SPARKS THAT THEY COULD CREATE AND WITHOUT FULLY OPERATIONAL HEADLIGHTS, THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE TRUCK AND PURCHASED IT AT AROUND 11,000 MILES. THE STEERING COLUMN HAS NEVER BEEN TAKEN APART NOR HAS THE TRIM AROUND THE STEERING COLUMN BEEN REMOVED. THESE WIRES COULD BE SEEN MOVING AS THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TILTED UP AND DOWN PRIOR TO THE SIGNAL ASSEMBLY BEING REMOVED AS THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF WITH THE LIGHT SWITCH LEFT IN THE ON POSITION. *TR

SUSPENSION SQUEAKS AND GRINDS ALONG WITH STEERING WHEEL. SIDE UTILITY BACK DOORS CABLE BREAKS AND WILL NOT CLOSE OR WILL OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY.

THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. THE BOLTS ARE COMING THROUGH THE BED OF THE TRUCK. BUMPER IS RUSTED AWAY FROM FRAME. UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

AT THE TIME THIS HAPPEN THE WIFE AND I WERE ON THE WAY BACK FROM ANOTHER TOWN WENT TO EAT OUT OF OUR TOWN WE LIVED IN, ON A MAIN HIGHWAY I HEARD SOMETHING THAT SOUNDED LIKE WE WERE HIT FROM BEHIND, BUT WHEN I LOOKED IN MY REAR-VIEW MIRROR I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING, THANK THE GOOD LORD ABOVE NO-ONE WAS BEHIND US, ALL I SAW AT FIRST WERE SPARKS FLYING FROM MY SPARE TIRE AND THEN THE TIRE SLIDE ON IT'S SIDE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY, I PICKED UP THE METAL PIECES AND OTHER PARTS I COULD FIND AND PLACED MY TIRE AND THE METAL PARTS IN THE BED OF MY TRUCK, WE HAVE ALWAYS CHECKED FOR THE TIRE UNDERNEATH THE BACK OF MY 1999 FORD F- 150 XLT WHEN WE GET OUR TIRES ROTATED OR BALANCED OR CHANGED, WHEN WE CHANGE THE MOTOR OIL TOO. IF A CAR HAD BEEN BEHIND US THAT TIRE COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE, I BELIEVE YOU NEED THE DEALERS TO PLACE ANOTHER SAFETY BAR TO KEEP THE TIRE FROM COMING LOOSE AGAIN. NOW I TELL ANYONE I SEE THAT HAS A TRUCK WITH THE SPARE UNDERNEATH TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED BY A SPARE TIRE COMING OFF.IF YOU NEED THE VIN I HAVE TO GET IT OFF MY INSURANCE POLICY, I'VE HAD THIS TRUCK STILL RUNNING, BIG V-8 ENGINE OVER 226,000 STILL GOING SAME ENGINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT UNLATCHED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,485.

I PURCHASED THIS FORD F150 1999 ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AGO. I HAVE NOTICED FROM THE FIRST TIME I DROVE IT, WHEN I FIRST START IT UP I HEAR A SERIES OF DINGS (LIKE ONES YOU WOULD HEAR FOR SEAT BELT NOT FASTENED), BUT THE SEAT BELTS ARE FASTENED. MY RADIO SOMETIMES HAS POWER AND WORKS, OTHER TIMES IT HAS NO POWER TO COME ON. SOMETIMES MY ODOMETER IS ON AND I CAN READ MY MILEAGE, MOST OF THE TIME ITS OFF. SOMETIMES WHEN THE BLOWER FAN IS BEING USED IT DOES NOT GO OF WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS TURNED OFF AND REMOVED, THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS PROBLEM IS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. I HAVE HEARD ON OCCASIONS, A CLICKING SOUND BEHIND THE DASHBOARD AREA, AGAIN THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THIS PROBLEM STOP WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS. I FEAR IT MAY LEAD TO, OR CAUSE A FIRE SOMEHOW. MOST OF THE TIME I CAN LEAVE MY TRUCK PARKED, AND START IT UP THE NEXT DAY, SOMETIMES AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT THE BATTERY IS MYSTERIOUSLY DRAINED DEAD THE NEXT MORNING. I HAVE BEEN DILIGENT TO MAKE SURE I HAVE LEFT NOTHING ON THAT COULD IN ANY WAY DRAIN THE BATTERY. I FEAR THESE ARE MANUFACTURER PROBLEMS, DO I HAVE ANY OPTIONS TO GET THESE ISSUES REPAIRED? *TR

INTERIOR LIGHTS AND BED LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF. *TR

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. *TT

I PURCHASED A 1999 FORD F150 FROM KINGS AUTO MALL NEAR CINCINNATI. THE TRUCKS AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AND I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THIS MEANT UNTIL AFTER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. I HAD IT IN THE DEALERS SHOP TO FIX THE A/C AND HAVE OTHER ITEMS LOOKED AT. THEY STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY AIR BAG SWITCH. THIS IS THE SWITCH THAT TURNS OFF THE AIR BAG WHEN SMALL CHILDREN ARE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALERSHIP HAD PLACED A STICKER ON THE PASSENGER WINDOW STATING THAT THE TRUCK HAD BEEN SAFETY CHECKED. BUT YET I PURCHASED A TRUCK THAT COULD HAVE KILLED MY 4 YEAR OLD IF THE AIR BAG HAD WENT OFF. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY WILL ONLY PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR FOR FIXING THE SWITCH. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY COULD HAVE SOLD ME A TRUCK THAT HAD THIS MAJOR ISSUE. *JB
