Consumer Description

THIS MAY BE A MOOT POINT BECAUSE THE TRUCK (2001 F-150 SUPERCREW XLT 4WD) I HAD OWNED (TRADED IT IN FOR A 2003 FORD SUPERCREW WHICH ALSO EXHIBITS VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS) HAD SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING IN ADDITION TO THE DRIVER SEATBELT BECOMING DISENGAGED WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE SEATBELT WOULD DISENGAGE ALL BY ITSELF. I EVEN HAD WITNESSES TO THE FACT. I ASKED FOR THE SERVICE TO ADDRESS IT; HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS SERIOUS AS WHAT ARE SEATBELTS FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE. ALSO HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE PAINT CRACKING OR SPIDERING. FORD REGIONAL PERSONNEL FROM DENVER WANTED TO REPAINT THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE HOW IT WOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED. THIS WENT ON FOR OVER 4 MONTHS. THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS IN ADDITION TO THE STEERING PROBLEMS DESCRIBED PREVIOUSLY I HAD GET RID OF THE PROBLEM SUPERCREW I HAD PURCHASED. *LA RQ04011.*PCO OWNER GRANTED PERMISSION TO RELEASE INFO_*PCO
