I have a 2000 ford f-150 4wd suipercab pickup. On the drivers side door, there is a crack starting in the sheet metal. It is currently located to the right of the window, under the weather stripping and is starting to proceed out. Currently it is about 3/8" to 1/4" long. There is another one that appears to be starting about an inch above it. I'm concerned that the crack will progress across the door and the door…

I noticed a 1/2" crack on the drivers side door, next to the power window. I also noticed alot of other complaints on this same crack. I take good care of my truck and see no reason for a stress crack like this. I feel that since there are alot of other complaints, ford should fix this problem as a recall, especially if they are making a kit to fix this. I have been buying and driving ford products for over 20 yrs.…

My 2000 ford f150 super-cab door is starting to crack, approximately 3" above the bottom of the window. My research on-line shows that many other ford f150 from 1997-2000 are experiencing this same problem. I have been in contact with ford customer service, who state there are no known problems of this type. *la

I own a 2000 f150 supercab and the doors are having the popular crack next to the window above the door handle. I have a friend who owns a '97 and both of his doors are doing the same thing. If these cracks continue all the way across the door frame the door will fall apart and will provide no protection in an accident. The local body shop owner has fixed several of the '97 to '02 f150 supercabs. This is obviously a…

I have a 2000 f150 and i too have the famous crack on the driver's door. I talked to my selling dealer, they just wanted to put a new door on my truck at full cost to me. I thought this was real bad as this truck has very low miles. I talked to ford customer support and they denied that there was a problem with door cracks even though i provided the tsb letter to the ford customer support rep. I was told it was not…

The driver's side door has a crack in the metal and we contacted the dealer and he advised although there is no recall ford has engineered a "door repair kit" and they are willing to fix this defect for a cost of $675.63. If this is not a defect then just why would ford make this door repair kit? This is a separation of metal and the concern we have is if there is an accident what will keep this door from possibly…
