| I have a safety concern with my 2008 f-150 ford supercrew. the brake pedal has so much travel that it goes past the accelerator pedal in a sudden panic type stop. as the foot presses the brake pedal down, the foot and pedal passes the gas pedal and sometimes, if your foot is not positioned perfectly it causes the gas pedal to be pressed down with the brake pedal. thus the vehicle is trying to accelerate while the driver is trying to stop it. this causes increased stopping distances and will lead to accidents. it has almost caused me two already. i have contacted ford motor company but my complaint apparently wasn't well understood. *tr | |||

| The passenger front upper door hinge is cracking on my 2008 ford f150 . the hinge is cracking on the back side . the crack would open up as the door is being shut from the wide open position . ford motor company claims this is from abuse or wind damage . if this crack were from wind damage the crack would be on the face of the hinge and would wider as you force the door past wide open . the door hinge is a critical component as the door would not be able to open or close properly once it breaks completely in two . the service writer told me it was a problem they have seen before and up until now they have agreed to repair these under warranty . my truck is only 2 years old with 23,000 miles . it is still covered under the bumper to bumper warranty . ford motor company is now trying to avoid repairing structural defects in the trucks . *tr | |||

| I own a 2008 ford f150 with 12,000 miles. bought the truck brand new in feb 08. with only 453 miles on the truck i noticed many paint defects : the paint under the hood was blistering off, the paint on the pillar behind the drivers side rear door was messed up, ford fixed these issues then shortly after that i had more blistering paint under the hood and a haze on the drivers side front fender. then one day as i am washing the truck i notice the paint is bubbling on the passenger side doors. *tr | |||
