OUR 2000 FORD F-150 HAD NOT HAD ANY PREVIOUS PROBLEMS. ONE MORNING IT WAS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 40 MINUTES, THEN PARKED IN A LOT. WHILE IN THE LOT, IT CAUGHT FIRE (WITH NOT EVEN A KEY IN THE IGNITION). WE THINK IT HAD MAYBE BEEN PARKED AN HOUR BEFORE IT CAUGHT FIRE, BUT NOBODY KNOWS FOR SURE BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE SPOTTED IT BURNING. FIRE INSPECTORS DETERMINED THAT THE FIRE STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AND THAT THERE WAS NO FOUL PLAY. THE FIRE APPEARED TO START TOWARDS THE FRONT, AND ON THE BATTERY SIDE. BY THE TIME SOMEONE NOTICED IT AND CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, MOST OF THE ENGINE AND HOOD AREA HAD PRETTY MUCH BEEN TORCHED. IT WAS PUT OUT BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND WE CONSIDERED IT A TOTAL LOSS. WE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, AND THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY. BOTH REPLIED THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE AND UNWILLING TO HELP IN ANY WAY. 8JB

I HAVE A STRUCTURAL CRACK IN THE METAL ON THE LOWER REAR CORNER OF THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. IT IS CURRENTLY ONE HALF INCH IN LENGTH AND GROWING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH AND SOME INVESTIGATION ON SIMILAR FORD F150'S I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM, BUT RATHER A FAIRLY COMMON ONE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THIS IS VERY ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE NTSB. I CALLED FORD TODAY, AND RECEIVED THE UNSATISFACTORY ANSWER THAT, SINCE MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED A REPAIR IS NOT COVERED. I HOPE THAT THE NTSB IS LOOKING AT THIS MATTER CLOSELY AND WILL ISSUE A DECISION ON IT SOON. I AM WORRIED THAT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF MY VEHICLE IS COMPROMISED, AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER FORD HAS NOT TAKEN THE PROPER STEPS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT FORD AND THE NTSB WILL BE TO BLAME IF I OR A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY IS INJURED BECAUSE OF A DOCUMENTED DOOR FAILURE. *AK

FIRE WAS MINOR AND IN LEFT REAR CORNER OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE ONLY ITEM THAT ACTUALLY BURNED WAS THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH (CCDS). THE 15 AMP FUSE FOR THAT CIRCUIT WAS BLOWN. THE SWITCH HEAD WAS PHOTOGRAPHED INITIALLY BUT WAS DAMAGED AND LOST WHEN SOMEONE VANDALIZED THE TRUCK IN STORAGE. HOWEVER, THE CONNECTOR FOR THE CCDS REMAINED AND ONE OF THE BRASS CONTACTS WAS STILL INSERTED. IT WAS MELTED OFF FROM ELECTRICAL ARCING ACTIVITY.

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 WILL FAIL. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. A WEBSITE CALLED WWW.F150ONLINE.COM. THERE IS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS (22 PAGES WORTH) THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I WENT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS OFF WARRANTY AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY HAVE NO WAY OF FIXING IT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND HELP US FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT WILL EVENTUALLY ROT OUT. THANK YOU.*AK
