Both rear suicide doors will not open, the latch mechanism is broken and apparently cost over $700.00 to fix both. In addition i have replaced the wheel bearing on all wheels twice and now another one is going bad. It seems like i never have a period when all the bearings are good.

I own a 2004 f150. The truck came with factory steel wheels. I am the original owner the truck only has 60,000 miles. The steel wheels rusted to the point i no longer felt safe driving on the wheels. The dealer said not their problem, i called ford and was told the same thing. If you have a ford with steel wheels be sure to check for rust. Call ford and ask for a recall.

Factory chrome plated wheels on 2004 ford f150 rust prematurely causing loss of air and/or blowout. The design causes pooling of water that can not escape, causing the wheel to rust out prematurely. *tr

Driving 70mph when rear wheel came off. Thought lug bolts came lose (use to working on euro cars) so went to get tire about 300 yards down other side or road. Jack up truck, put tire back on, went around truck to borrow other wheels lug bolts, realized f-150 takes studs and nuts not bolts when i removed a nut not a bolt. Went back to look at the holes in the rotor that looked like they took bolts and now i realize…

Severe vibration while braking from above 40m/hr. Dealer had to replace both front rotors and machined both rear rotors for warping. Rotor wore off before the original braek pads. Dealer says its typical but i suspect poor quality as i am a careful driver. *tr

On my 2004 f-150 super crew w/75000 miles i have had to replace front rotor 3 times because rotors are turning blue and wearing down prematurely causing bad braking, because bearings are failing and causing wobble and overheating rotors taking temper out of rotors, i have been to dealers and they say can't find problem and must be excessive braking, (not) this model rotor has built in bearing and cost over 200.00…

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 ford f150. The contact parked the vehicle after driving approximately 40 miles and noticed that the tire was almost flat. While he inflated the tire, he noticed air exited through a split in the rim. The dealer stated there would be nothing they could do for him. The current and failure mileages were 112,000. The consumer stated that this was the third rim purchased. Updated 09/05/07 *tr

The rear brakes were replace on the truck with less…
