| I have a 2002 f150 harley davidson f150 kingcab truck, black in color and the paint on the hood is cracking something terrible. i have taken it to the local ford dealership here in pensacola and the service manager told me that it is a defect in the paint process but there is no recall for this. they quoted me over $500.00 to repaint just the hood and another body shop quoted me the same because it has to be completely stripped and repainted. i have noticed that several other ford hd trucks are doing the same thing also on other body part to. i'm afraid that this might get worse and possibly start on the fenders. is there ever going to be a recall on the paint on these trucks or does everyone drive around proudly in a beautiful truck with cracking paint displaying the ford emblem with the harley davidson reputation next to it? *tr | |||

| I bought my f150 extended cab in april 2002 and at 8,000 miles the passenger side rear door was hard to open. i took it in to the dealer and they repaired it and within a few days it was hard to open again. i took it back to the dealer and they fixed it again. again it became hard to open i just took it to a different dealer and they tried to fix it again with no luck. i feel that this is not safe in case of a wreck that i may not be able to open it to get my 9 year old son out if i had to in a hurry. *nlm | |||

| The automatic door lock feature activated and pinched my arm in the door lock. this has happened several time, howver this is the most serious instance. i received a bruice approximentley 1 1/2 inches in length and 2 small abrasions. this is at least my 4th ford vehicle with automatic locks and have never experienced this problem before. i believe there is a design problem with the door lock button. it is about 1 long and has an indentation with ridges. this is apparently what pinched my arm. there is no need for the ridges since the button is inside the door when locked and no way to use the indentation to pull up the door lock manually. it the lock button was made smooth and possible tapered toward the top i believe it would greatly remove the hazard. in addition this would not inpair the only use that i can see for the buttom, to push it down for a manual lock.*ak | |||

| Vehicle was traveling at 15 mph and lost control due to a codder pin snapping in half causing the right front wheel to come entirely off of the vehicle. the disk brake stayed connected to the rim and was also removed entirely from the vehicle causing the brake lines to be severed which caused no pressure. with no pressure in the brake lines i was not able to stop the other wheels but was forced to let the vehicle come to a skidding stop, which happened by hitting a tree. the vehicle was taken to a local ford dealership where a year prior they had worked on the same wheel to pack the bearings and do other small maintenance. both the dealership and ford claimed no responsibility for the accident, which seems strange since a vehicles wheel should remain on when going 15 mph. | |||
