What 1998 Ford F-150 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
What isn't wrong with this truck? With less than 80,000 miles on it...spare tire fell off while being driven, interior lights randomly stay on, both doors are rusting out from the bottom, knob to regulate temperature fell off and assembly needed replacement, front brakes calipers stuck and caught on fire, exhaust system has rusted off twice, transmission went up and was replaced under warranty at less than 20,000 miles, radiator rusted through, and the headliner is falling down off the ceiling. I've probably missed something but can tell you that I will never own another ford.
Dt*: the contact stated the rear window leaked when it rained causing the rear seat to become wet. The interior lights and the brake lights failed to turn off when the ignition was turned off. Also, there was a humming noise coming from the rear end as the vehicle traveled 10 MPH. The rear end was replaced 1 years ago including the suspension, rear axle, chassis, rings, pins and rear differential. The service dealer and manufacturer were notified.
Both headlights of the consumer's 1998 ford f150 have discolored to the point that it's no longer safe to operate the vehicle at night. *nm the consumer also experienced this same problem with his 1996 ford crown victoria. The dealer had no suggestions as to how to correct the problem.
While waiting at an intersection consumer was informed that the brake lights were inoperative. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the bolts needed to be replaced,. They replaced them four times however the problem recurred. *ak
The dome light takes over five minutes to go out after consumer starts the engine. Also, when the vehicle is off the dome light stays on, even when consumer closes all the doors.
Headlights can go off when using right directional indicator, or by turning on intermittent wipers.
Dome light will not turn off even with all three doors fully closed.
It started with dome light staying on constantly - so we go without a dome light and it is unsafe and quite the nusance. Next the door ajar light stayed on constantly - weather seems to play a factor.*ak next the ignition switch chime started staying on constantly when keys aren't even in the ignition...again weather seems to be a factor. Initially wiggling the ignition switch would sometimes get the chime to stop but now I had to remove the gem fuse(15) as it was the only way to get the chime to quit. I haven't checked yet what else that fuse is used for. It seems that this is a problem for all f150 owners - so ford needs to fix it!!!!
The windshield wipers and washer came on at random. The inside lights failed to go off once the door was closed. *jb *cb
