(5 yrs) i asked dealer about fixing he said my warranty expired buy a new one (ford does not care about safety after warranty date) the airbag light will stay on for a week then off for a month then repeat ( 5 yrs) door ajar light has never turned off (maybe it will burn out so i don't see it anymore) tailgate latch replaced 3 times ( dang that cheap plastic) front end realigned numerous times (anti nascar, always turns right) engine shudders bad few times a year(bad gas maybe once, others probably not) coil pack replaced twice (im still under 60,000 miles) rear window leaks also :) *tr | |||

| As i was driving on the interstate going about 60 mph, my seat belt (driver's side) came unbuckled. as i attempted to buckle it again, i was unable to get it to stay buckled. i contacted the local car dealer who asked me to bring the vehicle in for them to inspect. upon inspection by the dealer where i bought the truck, i was informed of the need to have the seat belt connector unit replaced. this was done the next day, and i have retained the replaced part. *jb | |||
