Ford F-150 Change Vehicle

“Replaced the ac compressor”

“The clutch on the compressor died last summer. I still have not made the repair since Windows work fine. I will likely take it to a shop next month or attempt the repair myself”

“Replaced heat exchanger at 160k miles due to leak. Replaced with Ford OEM part. At 235k miles, second part failed due to leak”

“Ultimately, concluded it was water in fuel causing engine to run rough”

“Cracked intake manifold”

“Fuel pump clogged during outside temps over 100”

“Just doesn't work at this time. It is a "cigarette lighter" port and may be part of the overall electrical issues within the truck's interior”

“Truck keeps dinging, doesn't matter if the key is in the ignition or not”

“Recently many "dashboard" and "door" area electrical problems have occurred, pretty much all at once: no cruise control, fan, intermittent turn signals, and difficult driver's side window operations. Problem(s) have yet to be fully diagnosed and addressed”

“First this is a 1988 F150. 2000 was oldest year allowed. Clutch worn - replaced”

“Shifting (autimTic”

“Transmission auto shift from 1 to 2 is lost. Apparently, this is a known issue from at least 1999 models”

“Gear shift was not holding in Park in order to start the truck. Seals were replaced and now it starts”

“This truck has had issues with difficulty shifting into gears and the problem has not been found yet. I often have to try to shift into other gears first to get it to work, 1st, reverse, 2nd, gears have issues”

“Sudden downshift to lowest gear at about 35 mph. (As violent as jamming brakes hard.)Transmission now has no holdback in low gear”

“no”

“Manifold developed a leak that got progressively worse. Nobody wanted to work on it”

“Tail pipes needed replacing due to rust”

“The engine block developed a serious leak that required using aluminum filler to seal it. The engine is holding on ok with it, but it is aging and the truck will soon rust through the frame”

“Non-OEM replacement radiators leaked after sort time. Original radiator lasted 11 years”

“There was rust in the coolant and it wasn't circulating properly. Needed to replace radiator”

“Nothing else to add. The engine has had no problems, just power windows and door locks”

“stuck in 4wL had to take to dealer to be able to release. Dealer was able to fix immediately”

“Became noisy, replaced rear axle. Still had differential noise, replaced front axle”

“It appears the arm that controls the valves was broken and that was impeding the truck from doing a proper air/fuel mixture. The issue was "buried" in the engine and all it did was signal a dash light of "Service Engine Soon" and my mechanic had to almost tear down the engine to find the issue”

“The triton engines are notorious for blowing spark plugs...Mine did, to the cost of about $500.00”

“Plastic end connections failures on rear door latches”

“The tail gate locks sometimes lick in closed position and I cannot close the tailgate. If I pull the handle in the center of the tail gate, It releases the locks and then I can close the tailgate”

“The rear window/slider has failed and allowed water to enter the cab repeatedly. Initially, I had thought it was a failure of the weather seal, but when investigating found it was the design of the entire unit had failed”

“Heat schield on muffler rattles”

“One day, the truck wouldn't start and the "Anti-Theft" indicator in the dash started blinking. Eventually it stopped and I was able to crank up the truck. Then later that day, the truck shut off on me as I was driving and the Anti-Theft started flashing again. I was able to get to a driveway and eventually re-start the truck. My mechanic said it was (hopefully) a faulty PCM relay. I have also seen this issue from other people for similar year Fords”

“A spark plug blew out of the engine. Have heard that it happens with the six cylinder engine like mine. Some mechanics are hesitant to try to fix it because it can be challenging. Talked to two mechanics. The second referred me to a third who had the specific tool for the repair. He had done another one a day earlier”

“very slow oil leak around oil pan. Had it for years, not worth fixing. Actually the truck is a 1998 but that option was not shown on the pull down menu. For the record, the only mechanical failures I have had has been the radiator (about ten years ago) and the HVAC flapper gate that control the air flow”

“Oil pan gasket”

“Odometer display sometimes does not work”

“Have had a short in the radio. It fades in and out on volume”
