While traveling over 65 MPH, the vehicle started to vibrate. *ak *ts the dealer told the consumer to place sand bags in the truck bed, however it did not solve the problem.
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.
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.
Water was pouring into inside of the vehicle. Structure is not lined up properly inside of vehicle. Dealership is aware of the problem.
