    I purchased my ford f-150 new in august 2010. I noticed in september 2013, my fuel filler door was not closing, and after further inspection i noticed an inner mechanism, that allows the door to remain closed, was broken and no longer kept the door closed. This plastic door costs approximately $75.00 to replace, significantly more if the dealer installs it. The frustrating thing is my son-in-law, as well as my…

    I had my truck parked outside during a heavy snowfall day at work. I went out and started it to let it warm up and turned on the rear defrost. When i got in to leave i noticed my passenger side rear window was shattered. I had no idea what had happened, not in an area where vandalism is possible. After reading the online posts about others with this problem i realized this is exactly what happened. *tr

    Issues began on friday morning. Had a warning on dash indicating left rear door ajar, when in fact the door was closed. Took to dealer who said it was probably a bad sensor and for $400 they could fix it. Faulty warning will not let auto locks engage or alarm to set as it is reading the door as open. Huge safety concern if you are travelling with a child, the doors will not lock and you happen to get into an…

    There was a horrible storm last night. I got into my truck this morning and the entire back seat was soaked! I spoke with 2 other ford f150 truck owners and they have had the same exact issue. Both of their issues were the result of the exterior light on the top back of the vehicle. I called ford in temple tx. They confirmed they have had this issue a couple of other times and it was in fact the exterior light…

    After owning my truck for nearly 2 years i began to notice a musty smell. Last weekend my kids were riding in the back seat and noticed water pooled on the center seatbelt frame. I immediately thought the sliding glass window was partially opened, but it wasn't. Besides it was no where near where the water was pooling. Then we noticed in both corners of the headliner dark water stains. Just by looking at the cab of…
