Vin does not match my truck, trying to fix it but I have no idea what engine parts, electrical,or otherwise to purchase. Supposed to be a 1999 ford f-150 xlt 4x4 . Vin comes up asinvalid and check digit is incorrect. Online search indicates 4 different engines, two transmissions (5spd manual and auto) neither of which are the ford motor co. Experimental transmission that ford put in that truck. Sold as a 1999 on ford c.o. Mine weighs 1500lbs less than what it should. All failing experimental parts that I have to replace, but dont have a clue what to buy due to "experimental" part #'s. Emailed ford many times for assistance in identifying engine as there are no block castings. No retun call or email. Im a single mom of 2. I dont get child support, alimony, nor do I receive goverment assistance. I cant afford to have my truck torn down.to measure bore and stroke. I cant afford to bring it to a shop. Ive had to learn to work on this thing. Took me 8 months and thousands spent here nd there just to get it to pass emissions because I couldnt find the right parts! $600 in inspection sticker violations later here I am, barely hanging in hoping it gets me to work one more time. Suxh a negligent and dangerous thing to do. Three lives sit in that because thats what we have. I wanted a call from ford because their VIN isnt valid, or matching. Cowards.

My son was driving his 99 f150 southbound on a two lane highway, going about 50 MPH when he heard a pop, and then the truck went out of control. The rear of the pickup began to travel left across the highway. In the northbound lane, it began to roll over, drivers side first, finally landing upright at the left edge of the highway, then slid down an embankment front first in some trees. The left rear axle had fractured and snapped and the hub and wheel had come off. Thankfully, he and his girlfriend suffered no permanent injuries.

Removed and installed transmission line (filler pipe where you put oil in rusting through) installed transmission dipstick tube. 06/22/2005. Removed and installed transmission filter, transmission flush 08/30/2005. On 02/08/2006 removed transmission, rebuild transmission, installed transmission, flushed transmission cooler. This was caused by the filler pipe(oil input) rusting and letting water into the system. It should not have happened for a 1999 ford pickup f-150 with 65000 miles, no matter how old or new it was. I have always had ford trucks or cars and drove them for thousands of miles without the amount of problems I have had with this one, there is a noise in the rear end that I am watching now. *nm.....

I own a 1999 ford f-150. Twice since I bought it, there have been problems with the rear axle. One axle and bearings have been replaced. The other side is now doing the same thing. Other owners have told me they have had similar problems, sometimes both bearings going together or separately. It may appear that this is a factory defect in the axle or bearings. Vehicle has less than 80,000 miles.

A high pitch noise coming from rear axle assembly and subsequent failure of the entire rear axle assembly. Dealer mechanics have found foreign components inside the rear differential assembly (a silicon sealer squeezed and wedged between the ring pinion gears and the input shaft) that may have caused the problem. They found the rear axle lubricant to be burnt and metal debris was also found inside the casing of the differential assembly. Vehicle failed at around 55,000 miles and 6 years of service. Rear axle have not been previously serviced by me or any other service facility before the above mentioned failure. The vehicle was purchased new and it has been in my possession ever since. To solve this issue and make the vehicle drivable again, a $2,500.00 worth of repair (dealer recommended rebuild of the assembly) had to be performed. Ford is denying any claims that I have made in order to receive assistance. Old parts and the foreign component have been saved and are in my possession. I believe (with the support of the service rep. And the mechanic) that the poor assembly procedure at the factory and the foreign part found in the failed component to be cause of this problem.

The 4 wheel drive in the consumer 1999 ford f150 engaged in low range while driving. This caused the truck to jerk, lose control and the rear end to go out.*mr the consumer had a new rear end put in but the truck has continued to go in and out of 4 wheel drive automatically. Now the truck start on it's own. The consumer had to disconnect the battery to keep from burning out the starter. When the cruise control is on the transmission wouldn't shift and the RPM's raced into the red. The consumer could hear clicks under the dash while this was happening which resulted in the battery being drained. The radiator leaked.
