| I bought a used 2003 ford f150 in august 2007. within the first 2 months the gem module was replaced as there exists a design flaw with the seating of the windshield on the seal. as i am driving down the road on a rainy day, the blower fan is going, the windows are going up and down, and the electrical components are all freaking out. as i pull over and remove my key from the truck, the problem does not stop. and now the truck won't restart. again, the gem module. which ford will not replace along with the leaky windshield seal. because they claim there exists no problem of the behalf of the manufacturer. see: http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/ford-f-150/taa9dvmdg7ro706ei#lastpost. i am afraid that even if i were to pay to have the gem module replaced (again) and the windshield resealed (again) that i will be driving all of my children down the road when the truck just decides to electronically fail in such a way that it causes a serious accident. perhaps this design flaw should be an issue for immediate recall. *tr | |||

| I purchased a left over 2003 ford f-150 pickup truck at condit ford in newton, new jersey. i picked up the vehicle on friday evening may 28, 2004 on sunday morning at 8:00 when i bent down to pick up a piece of paper in my driveway i noticed that the under side of the rear bumper is rusted from several scratches, i walked around the truck and noticed several paint and body defects as follows: rear bumper has several scratches and rust, tow hook is rusted, the left rear fender has cracked/rippled fiberglass in the section that is near the bumper, the left door has raised paint blemish and dent, the right door on the inside by the door latch is missing paint, the right rear cab door is defective - it bows out on the bottom of the door. when i called the dealership the sales manager stated that i must have caused the damage. i mentioned that who crawls under a new truck to see if the bumper is damaged and rusted and that with an all white truck it is more difficult to immediately detect damages. and that when a consumer buys a new vehicle it is expected that the new vehicle is new and not damaged. *ak | |||

| Dateline nbc, dec. 19th, 2003, reported that the insurance institute for highway safety gave the ford f150 the lowest rating for the 40 mph off center collision in 2001 injury to front pasengers would be serious to critical. 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 | |||
