I HAVE A 2003 F-150 SUPERCREW THAT I PURCHASED SEPTEMBER 2, 2003. IN OCTOBER 2003 WHEN THE ODOMETER WAS CHANGING FROM 999 MILES THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND THE DASH LIGHTS FLASHED FOR A COUPLE SECONDS. THEN THE ODOMETER CHANGED TO 2000 MILES SKIPPING THE 1000 MILE MARK AND BEGAN TO MISS AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STOP RUNNING BUT IT NEVER STOPPED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO MISFIRE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT ON SIX VISITS. THEY HAVE FOUND CYLINDER 1, 2, AND 3 MISFIRES AND REPLACED THE BOOTS AND COILS TO THOSE CYLINDERS. BUT IT STILL MISSES WHEN I COME TO A STOP WITH THE ENGINE IN DRIVE OR AT IDLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON. THE SERVICEMAN AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I WHEN ON A TEST DRIVE WITH A MONITOR CHECKING THE FIRING OF THE SPARK PLUGS AND THE CYLINDERS WERE SHOWING AS MUCH AS A 60 % VOLTAGE DROP.THE COMPUTER HAS SHOWED SEVERAL CODES ON THE CYLINDERS AND CODES THAT ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE EVEN ON THIS VEHICLE.

I CANNOT FIND ANY DATA FROM NHTSA REGARDING THIS CRASH TEST. MY TRUCK IS A FORD F150 SUPER CREW 4X4. I AM VERY CONCERNED AND WISH TO OBTAIN FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THIS TEST.*AK

THE TRUCK'S SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT VISIBLE BECAUSE OF THE LIGHT COLOR USED. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO DETERMINED THE VEHICLE'S SPEED. *NM

THEY HAVE TOLD ME NUMEROUS THINGS, LIKE USE HEAVIER WEIGHT OIL, NO PROBLEM, WE HEAR IT BUT NOT SURE WHAT IT IS, WE HEAR IT COMMON ENGINE NOISE. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN WAS 4/2003, AND VEHICLE IS AT DEALER NOW AGAIN. *CB

MY COMPLAINT PERTAINS TO AN ACCIDENT THAT I WAS INVOLVED IN ON JULY 29, 2003. I HAD A FRONTAL COLLISION WITH ANOTHER CAR IN AN INTERSECTION. THE OTHER CAR RAN A RED LIGHT, BUT THE FACT IS, MY RIGHT FRONT CORNER OF MY BUMPER HIT HER LEFT FRONT SIDE AT HER LEFT FRONT TIRE AND DID CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. I HAVE A F150 4X4 SUPERCREW, THE OTHER CAR WAS A OLDS' 98 REGENCY FULL SIZE CAR. MY APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS BETWEEN 20 TO 25 MPH, I HAD JUST CAME FROM ANOTHER INTERSECTION AND HAD NOT REACHED THE SPEED LIMIT QUITE YET. AFTER HITTING THIS CAR MY TRUCK TRAVELED ANOTHER 20 TO 30 YARDS BEFORE HITTING A 2 PIPE HAND/GUARD RAIL. THE CORNER POST PLACED A NICE V DEAD CENTER IN MY BUMPER. THE HOOD WAS BUCKLED, BOTH FRONT QUARTER PANELS DAMAGED AND JAMMED BACK INTO THE DOORS. MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY NOR DID MY SEAT BELTS LOCK IN POSITION TO PREVENT MYSELF FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY CHEST. THE TRUCK WAS REPAIRED BY A RELIABLE COLLISION CENTER APPROVED BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY, STATE FARM INSURANCE. I HAD NOTIFIED FORD OF THE AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT NOT WORKING AS I WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE IT SHOULD AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND HAVE THE SYSTEMS CHECKED OUT. DEALERSHIP TEST RESULTS SHOWED SYSTEMS ALL WORKING PROPERLY. I CONTACTED FORD AGAIN AND ASKED JUST WHAT IT TAKES TO INITIATE THESE DEVICES TO WORK. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON READ TO ME WHAT IT WOULD TAKE FOR THESE TO WORK. I TOLD HER THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I W

THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE FAILED TO DISENGAGE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SERVICED BY SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY ALL GAVE DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT NONE OF THE SOLUTIONS RELATED TO WHAT WAS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. *PH THE VEHICLE DID NOT DISENGAGE OR SHIFT OUT OF 4X4 INTO 4X2 UNDER A LOAD OR IN A BIND. THE BRAKES PUSHED TO THE DRIVERS SIDE AND A MADE NOISE, AND THE A/C DIDN'T SWITCH FROM DEFROST TO VENT DUE TO THE RADIO AND BEZEL VACUUM TO THE A/C SYSTEM. THE A/C SELECTOR SWITCH WAS REPLACED. *SC *JB

FORD F150 2003 TRUCK. *LA

1 BOUGHT A 2003 F150 EXTENDED CAB. THE TRANSMISSION IS ALWAYS LOUD, SLUGGISH WHEN IT DOES SHIFT AND SLIPS ALL TOGETHER. *LA

WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES OF PURCHASE, WE BEGAN NOTICING A SPORADIC GRATING NOISE FROM THE REAR END. MORE DISTUBING IS THE HARD SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS THAT IS ALSO SPORADIC. THE SHIFTING PROBLEM HAPPENS ON LONG TRIPS OF 150 MILES OR MORE. IT WILL USUALLY HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A DAY BUT OF COURSE WE NEVER KNOW WHEN. THE GRATING NOISE IS LESS FREQUENT AND CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME. OUR VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FOURTH VISIT FOR THESE PROBLEMS. FORD HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE GRATING AND HARD SHIFTING WHICH MAKES SENSE BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE ARE STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT HAS NOT PROVIDED NEW TRUCK PERFORMANCE. SINCE THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT, IT WILL PROBABLY LEAD TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE ONCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE CONSIDERED SELLING IT BUT THAT WOULD BE UNETHICAL SINCE THE NEXT PERSON WOULD EVENTUALLY EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEMS. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THERE IS ONE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINT IN THE DATA BASE. *LA

A VIBRATION AT 38-42. DELAER HAS ROTATED AND BALANCED TIRES TWICE IN 5600 MILES AND TOLD ME I NEED TO BALANCE AND ROTATE MORE OFTEN BECAUSE MY TIRES ARE CUPPING. THE VIBRATION HAS NOT GONE AWAY. THE DEALER THEN STATED THAT I NEEDED TO GET FORD TO REPLACE MY GENERAL TIRES WITH MICHELINS. I AM STILL WAITING FOR FORD TO TELL THE DEALER WHAT TO DO.*AK

AT HIGHWAY SPEED VEHICLE GOES INTO LOW 4-WHEEL DRIVE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. *AK

HAVING A PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION SLIPPING OR NOT CHANGING GEAR CORRECTLY. PLUS A NOISE OR VIBRATION GRINDING. DURING THIS TIME AS WELL. VERY UPSET. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE THERE. FORD SAID THEY WILL NOT FIX UNTIL DUPLICATED. I AM VERY UPSET HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER FOUR TIMES. *NLM

HEARD UNUSUAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR-END OF MY 2003 FORD F-150 SUPERCREW THE NOISE STARTS AT 90 MPH. IS THIS AN ON GOING PROBLEM? PLEASE LOOK INTO IT. *AK

MY '03 F150 FX4 4X4 HAS WHAT I SUSPECT TO BE AN IGNITION PROBLEM THAT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT DUPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK SINCE JULY 03 AND IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE. ONCE WITHOUT A "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT WORK THE TRUCK DUE TO WARRANTY ISSUES WITHOUT THE LIGHT. THEN IN NOVEMBER THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR THE LIGHT AND THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE INOPERABLE. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WAS FIXED BY REPLACING THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, RIGHT SIDE AXLE HOUSING, SHIFTING FORK AND GEARS. BUT THE IGNITION PROBLEM WAS JUST AS ILLUSIVE WITH THE LIGHT AND THE CODE. NOW I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM OF THE TRUCK DYING OUT AS USUAL AND MY FUEL ECONOMY IS DEGRADING. THE TRUCK WILL DIE OUT AND RECOVER CAUSING THE TRUCK TO BUCK SEVERELY, POSSIBLY CAUSING THE 4X4 PROBLEMS MENTIONED EARLIER. IT IS AT ITS WORST AT 1450 RPM OR 59 MPH. ONCE 1500 RPMS ARE EXCEEDED THE PROBLEM IS GONE. I CAN ALSO ACCELERATE THROUGH IT WITHOUT EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEM. JUST STEADY-STATE OPERATION WITHOUT ANY LOAD AND IT WILL DIE OUT REPEATEDLY. *LA

VEHICLE DOESN'T COME EQUIPPED WITH A REAR DEFOGGER SYSTEM. AS A RESULT, DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE OUT THE REAR IN RAINY OR SNOWY WEATHER. *AK

RESULT IS LOOSE STEERING ESPCIALLY WHILE AT HIGH SPEEDS. LOOSE STEERING IS PRESENT EVEN AT LOWER SPEEDS AND VEHICLE TRACKS ROAD IN AN UNUSUAL FASHION. HAVE DISCUSSED WITH FORD SERVICE DEPT ON 4 OCCASIONS. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THEY TELL ME ITS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. *LA

HOLLOW KNOCKING NOISE IN THE 5.4 ENGINE MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN COLD. FORD AND THE DEALER TELL ME TO PUT UP WITH IT BECAUSE IT IS NORMAL. SOMETHING ABOUT PISTON CLEARANCES OR SLAP. I DID NOT PAY $30,000.00 + FOR A NEW VEHICLE TO LISTEN TO IT KNOCK IN THE MORNINGS WHEN I START IT UP. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS NOISE IN THE 5.4 AND I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *LA

RECENTLY, CONSUME BOUGHT 2003, HARLEY DAVIDSON, F150 IN MAY OF 2003. IT IDLED ROUGHLY ON OCCASION AT WHICH TIME IT FLUCTUATED. IT IDLED AT 800 RPMS, THEN DIPPED DOWN TO 400 RPMS. FELT LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO DIE, THEN SURGED BACK UP TO 900 RPMS, AND SO FORTH. AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT HESITATED AT CONSTANT SPEED. *AK

I HAVE A 2003 F-150 SUPERCREW 5.4L 2X4, FROM DAY ONE, A HOLLOW KNOCKING NOISE IS HEARD AT IDLE MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN IN GEAR AT IDLE, OR LOW RPM. I HAVE HAD IT INTO FORD SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. WE EVEN STARTED ANOTHER TRUCK ON THE LOT (SAME YEAR, ENGINE ECT.) AND THE NOISE WAS NOT FOUND ON THE OTHER TRUCK. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATES HE DOES HEAR THE NOISE BUT FORD DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS THEREFORE THEY CANNOT FIX IT SO NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO FIND OR REPAIR IT (MY TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN ON THE RACK EVEN ONCE). PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHAT I CAN DO TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *LA

I WAS WIPING THE INTERIOR OF MY TRUCK AND CUT MYSELF ON A SHARP EDGE. THE ITEM THAT CUT ME WAS A BADGE/LOGO WHICH IS AFFIXED TO A SOFT COVER ON THE CENTER CONSOLE OF MY TRUCK. MY TRUCK IS A 2003 FORD F-150 HARLEY DAVISON EDITION. I WOULD NOT NORMALLY COMPLAIN ABOUT A BUMP OR BRUISE I WOULD GET WORKING ON A VEHICLE. THIS DECORATIVE BADGE ON THE CONSOLE IS SO SHARP THAT IT CUT THROUGH THE TOWEL I WAS WIPING WITH AND THEN INTO MY FINGER. THIS BADGE IS IN AN AREA WHERE PEOPLE WOULD NORMALLY CONTACT THE VEHICLE TO OPEN THE CONSOLE, AND IT IS VERY UNSAFE. *JB

I HAVE MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY 2003 FORD F150 FROM ENGINE NOISES TO TRANSMISSION LEAKING AND SLIPPING. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TWICE NOW AND NOBODY AT FORDS OR THEIR ENGINEERS SEEM TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. FORDS DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE COULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH A BRAND NEW $30,000 VEHICLE.*AK
