With headlight selector switch in the auto position the headlights can suddenly turn-off while driving. I purchased the vehicle new and have always had the headlight switch in the auto position since day one. When driving at night the headlights suddenly shut-off while going down the highway, very nearly lost control of vehicle when trying to pull over and stop. The park lights still were functioning and got the…

To begin with i had to have all 4 windows repaired. The mechanism that raises and lowers the windows broke. Since this was bought as a used vehicle, there was no warranty. So i pd. $150. To $175.00 each. Was told ford knew of this problem but since it wasn't a "safety factor" no recall was issued. I feel like this is quite unfair to the consumer. We purchase a vehicle that has a good reputation and then are told…

I own a 2004 ford f-150. In 2012 i had my e-brake light start flashing at me.

2004 ford f150 w/ adjustable pedals - after a few years use, the brake lights do not work properly. The lights will come on, but only under extreme deceleration, hopefully.

The brakes continue to work along with the switch to reposition the automatic…

I honestly do not know what is wrong with my 2004 f150 fx4. My truck has been in the shop at both lincoln/mercury and ford dealers here in huntsville, alabama. Parts have been replaced on multiple occasions so i'm not making this stuff up and the dealerships know something is wrong, but does not want to fix the problem or does not have qualified/trained mechanics. This will be my one and only ford. *jb
